The Listener At Midnight
2026/10/03
🎧 THE LISTENER AT MIDNIGHT
What happens when a story stops feeling like something you're listening to… and starts feeling like something that's listening to you?
In this special deep-dive conversation, we explore The Listener At Midnight, the psychological thriller written by Swapnil Kathale.
The story follows James, a late-night taxi driver, and Walt Rourke, a tired passenger heading home. Their journey begins normally enough. Then the voice coming from James's phone starts describing things happening inside the car with unsettling precision.
The more they listen, the harder it becomes to dismiss as coincidence.
Fifteen minutes.
Nine minutes.
Six minutes.
The numbers keep falling.
And eventually, the story takes them toward the old cemetery road, where the voice stops simply describing events and begins revealing what the countdown was really leading toward. 🌑

Double Tick
2026/02/08
"Seen by 38. Replied to by 0."
Step into the halls of Delhi College of Engineering, where the air smells of cheap deodorant and the particular fear of wanting to be liked. Follow Aarav, a "quietly competent" observer, as he witnesses the four-year evolution of a WhatsApp group—a digital hierarchy where some are chosen and others are systematically erased.
From ignored timetable requests to being cropped out of graduation photos, Double Tick is a hauntingly relatable exploration of digital loneliness and the "social calculus" of belonging. When an anonymous number begins sending messages that know too much, the group is forced to face the truths they’ve collectively ignored: that some things are seen, but never understood.
Why listen?
Modern Drama: A deep dive into the psychological toll of group chat culture.
Relatable Themes: Perfect for anyone who has ever felt like a background character in their own life.
The Power of Silence: An atmospheric journey through the messages we send, the ones we delete, and the high cost of staying silent.
"Double tick doesn't mean you cared. It just means you were there."

All a man can do is smile
2025/11/23
"Sometimes, a smile is all a man has—and all he needs to begin again."
Set in the soul-stirring, chaotic heart of Kolkata, this episode follows the life of Somen, a man whose First Class Honours degree has been tucked behind a chipped mirror for years while he endures the grind of a grey office.
In a world that treats him as invisible, Somen finds his strength not in a paycheck, but in the quiet rituals of a resilient family:
Mishti, his daughter, who sees a king with a crown of stars where the world sees a tired clerk.
Ankita, his wife, whose love lives in the "Khushi Utsav" they create out of thin dal and candlelight.
From the crushing morning commute on the 8:03 Local to the heart-wrenching sacrifice of a wedding gold chain, All A Man Can Do Is Smile is a deeply moving exploration of what it means to hold on when the world feels too heavy to carry. It’s a tribute to the "long, slow art of holding on" and the extraordinary wealth found in ordinary love.
Whether you’re navigating your own daily "resistance" or looking for a story that restores your faith in human resilience, this episode is for you.

The Dream Begins
2023/12/23
The 80-Rupee Football That Made It to Paris ⚽️✨
"Football in this country is not a path. It is a prayer."
What do you do when the world hands you a cricket bat, but your heart only speaks the language of tactical transitions? 🏏➡️⚽️
My latest podcast episode tells the true story of a journey from the lanes of Jalandhar to the corridors of Paris Saint-Germain. It’s a story about the "bewildering ordinariness" of following a dream, the weight of a father’s silence, and the moment a secret practice behind a water tank turned into a career on the global stage.
If you’ve ever practiced something alone, in a space "too small to be dignified," this one is for you. It matters.
