Moment of Silence

Hellooo Mosquites and MOSSIES, this week’s agenda: be a b*tch.Friday has come around and this very special episode has Sakshi and Naina dissecting the good girl behaviours that hold women back while they attempt to exorcise your fear of being called a b*tch. Why does standing up for ourselves come with so much guilt? Why are we still saying “no worries” when we have several? And how do we stop needing everyone to think we’re nice? The girls get into it all + we revisit the times we thought we were being bitches, only to realise that's just what was needed in the moment. Chronic good girls and helpless people pleasers, this one's for you: the ultimate MOS guide to being a bitch. Hit play, send this to your most apologetic friend, and tell us about your proudest bitch moment in the comments.Like, share, subscribe, and we’ll see you next week!Avail the offer via this link: https://www.chawellness.in/products/house?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=mosCode: MOS2000:00 - First things first, did you watch our new baby, Momsensical?00:28 - Cha Wellness comes to Sakshi’s rescue04:08 - Sometimes, being a b**** is necessary06:54 - Why women deal with autoimmune diseases08:56 - The art of being assertive at work12:57 - Our first-ever bad word13:43 - The Titanic conspiracy theory 14:54 - Throwback to our modelling era19:31 - School days beef that never dies23:15 - Indian parents need to hear this28:34 - A plagiarism story that goes from teacher to boyfriend32:37 - Moms enter their villain era34:55 - Men, take note of this37:23 - When being mean is actually justified46:09 - A little something for the pushy people48:18 - Momsensical is here, and it's entertaining to the core50:06 - PR gifts56:15 - Our new affirmation: like, share, subscribe and hype MOSFollow MOS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=enCredits:Created by Naina Bhan and Sakshi Shivdasani https://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...https://www.instagram.com/sakshishivdasani/?hl=enDirector & Research: Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179Senior Producer: Amruta P. https://www.linkedin.com/in/amruta-bandivdekar-01879925Editor: Yug Vermahttps://www.instagram.com/bass_abhiyug?igsh=MnlibHdsbG56MjNl&utm_source=qrCreative Director: Natascha Mehrahttps://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/?hl=enGraphic Design: Tinkrehttps://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/?hl=enSocial Media: Anusha Kala https://www.instagram.com/anushakala/?hl=enProduction House: Angaar Studioshttps://www.instagram.com/angaarstudios/?hl=en

HELLOOO MOSquitoes - your Friday delivery from MOS is here and we’re not even asking for an OTP. [BUT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION AROUND THE 30-MIN MARK FOR THIS EPISODE - THERE’S A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU. DON’T MISS IT.]This week, Sakshi & Naina are addressing something they’ve never addressed before. A fresh and novel topic straight from the minds that run MOS. For the first time ever in 146 episodes. After much begging & pleading we’re finally speaking about: TRAVEL.That’s right - can’t believe we never said a word about this until now. But don’t worry we’re ready to course-correct.The girls took a lil mini-vacay to Alibaug with their respective beaus and came in strong with the tea. From the joys of having a boat guy to the legend of the kookaburra cricket bat, this one is full of trip lore featuring MOS nation’s first gentlemen. Naina gave a shoutout to couples who match your freak on vacation (AKA go to sleep at 10 pm), and Sakshi gave us the correct code of ethics when it comes to travel etiquette & closing that Splitwise tab.We ended with a lil game of BOARD OR BOUNCE - definitely play along with your friends before taking that trip out of the group chat and into the real world.

Hellooo lovely people of MOS. We’re recording from home again this week, but we promise we’ll be back to regular programming next time!This one’s a bit of a heavy conversation: we talk about the recent cases of assault against women and the fear, anger and exhaustion they’ve left us feeling. Once again, we’re asking: when will women be able to step out of their homes and feel safe? Will we see that happen in our lifetime? And how do we live with the constant worry that something could happen every time we step out?We also ask whether Mumbai is actually as safe as we keep telling ourselves it is, and talk about the things we do to protect ourselves (even though that responsibility should NOT actually be on us). We’d like to hear how you’ve been feeling too. Leave your thoughts in the comments, and share this episode with someone you’d want to have this conversation with.See you next week.

Sakshi comes in fresh off Hyrox and gives us the full lowdown on what it takes to be an absolute beast. Naina was out there doing the equally difficult and deeply underrated job of being a supportive friend. Somewhere in the middle of all this, the girls got a lik emotional - reflecting on how far MOS has come.This one is warm and unplanned and super real - we’ll be back to regular programming vv soon!
