Written and Narrated by Sumaiya Fathima. In this episode, we explore the quiet emotions that often speak louder than words - silence, loneliness, sadness, time, and the feelings we struggle to express. Sometimes, silence isn’t really silent. It carries unanswered questions, unfinished conversations, forgotten moments, and emotions we choose to look away from. Yet, no matter how much we try to escape them, some feelings remain right in front of us. “I wonder what the silence was trying to tell me…” Perhaps this episode is simply an attempt to listen to what we usually choose to ignore.

A very random thought that somehow turned into a recording. In this episode, we sit down and read some of our favourite shayaris and shayars, talk about the lines that stayed with us, and simply enjoy the beauty of words. This episode was completely off-the-thought and spontaneous — no script, no perfect takes, and definitely a few mistakes along the way. Some words were fumbled, some sentences went in unexpected directions, but that’s also what makes this recording feel real. So consider this less of a polished episode and more of a little unfiltered shayari session. Listen for the shayari, stay for the chaos.

Written and Narrated by Sumaiya Fathima. This episode is a quiet exploration of what it really means to let go-of anger, of pain, of the stories we keep replaying. Not about moving on, but about loosening your grip on what no longer needs to be carried, and learning to exist without the weight.

Written and Narrated by Sumaiya Fathima. We’ve all held onto that line — “anth mein sab theek ho jaata hai.” But what if it’s not a promise… it’s a process? This episode questions what “theek” really means.
