Episode 3: Mother Knows Chaos
In this episode, we talk about our moms’ origin stories, growing up in India, immigrating to America, building new lives, and raising us in between two cultures. We share how their journeys shaped who we are, how we show up in our communities, and the women we’re becoming. From mother-daughter trips to the evolving bond that comes with adulthood, we reflect on how our relationships with our moms have deepened over time.
We also talk about what motherhood looks like for our generation, our hopes, hesitations, and how we plan to carry forward (and rewrite) the lessons we learned from them.

Episode 2: Chaos in the City: Cabs, Curry & Community
Come along as we relive our New York trip, including a dreamy stop at the Sabyasachi store, a night at the theater watching John Proctor is the Villain, and all the delicious food spots we managed to squeeze in between. Of course, no episode of Chai & Chaos is complete without going deeper: we open up about our immigrant parents, the lessons they’ve passed down, and why building community matters so much to us.
It’s travel stories, cultural reflections, and plenty of laughter.
We’ll be dropping new episodes every other Monday, so mark your calendars and keep an eye out for our next one on 10/6!
