Dating coach & CEO Kshitij Sehrawat joins Vinamre this episode to talk about dating in the modern world. Drawing from his journey from being terribly shy, friend-zoned, and socially anxious — to building Iron Man Lifestyle and coaching tens of thousands of men — Kshitij reveals what actually works (and what’s pure myth) when it comes to modern attraction. He dives deep into evolutionary psychology, emotional authenticity, fear, shame, and the “hacks” that shift everything.
In this episode, they talk about –
- Why Dating isn’t broken — your brain is wired wrong.
- Pickup lines don’t fail, you do.
- Fear of rejection is the biggest turn-off, not rejection itself.
- Attraction isn’t about looks, it’s about frames.
- Be mysterious or be forgotten — there’s no in-between.
If you’ve ever felt stuck being “nice, but invisible,” or felt like everyone’s getting dates except you — this episode isn’t just motivational fluff. It unpacks why many of your dating efforts fail, and gives you practical, psychological tools to rewire your approach. Watching this could change how you speak, how you show up, and how you attract — not by tricks, but by fundamentally shifting your reality.

Bharat Singh, founder of Jaipur Houses, is on a mission to rescue the disappearing beauty of Rajasthan’s old haveli walls. Raised on stories from Jaipur’s alleys, he began documenting havelis, stepwells, and forgotten architecture to preserve what modernisation might erase forever. With over 55,000 followers across Instagram projects like Jaipur Houses, Jodhpur Houses, and Stepwell Country, he has become the voice of heritage that refuses to vanish.
In this episode of Dostcast, Vinamre and Bharat discuss:
- Why Jaipur’s vanishing houses are not just architecture—they’re memoirs of society, caste, and identity.
- How Vastu, urban planning, and colonial history shaped the layout of the Pink City.
- The shocking stories behind Laal Maas, the Pink City aesthetic, and what “undiscovered Jaipur” really means.
- How stepwells and lineage connect more deeply than you imagine to caste, city planning, and modern decay.
- What travellers should really know before visiting: heritage fades fast.
If you’ve ever wondered why old cities feel haunted, why so many beautiful homes are crumbling, or what your tour guide isn’t telling you—this episode will change how you see Jaipur.
