Since I moved back to Mumbai from Chicago and joined a gym, I had a question...why do we now do yoga the way white people do? Didn't we invent yoga in the first place?Well, to get a better understanding about the yoga/meditation industry in Mumbai, and how we have reconciled what yoga was (the version we started) and what yoga is (a western rebranding), I have invited two yoga instructors, Tanvi Rao and Riddhi Sajnani to the studio. We talk yoga and let me tell you, this conversation gets all kinds of trippy in the best way possible. Enjoy the episode!

If you're reading this, I'll bet you've played a video game at some point in your life. We're in an age where children play them from a young age on their parents' phones.

But how many of you know about the people who actually make the games in question? That is what I hoped to do in this episode of the "Hipster Podcast" where I sit down with three absolute legends in the Indian gaming industry. Vaibhav Chavan (Culttales Interactive), Nikhil Malankar (Gameon Studios) and Hrishi Oberoi (Photon Tadpole Studios) are in the house and we're talking games, game development, game design...basically all things gaming with an Indian flavour!

Coffee has a long and storied history in India, from Baba Budaan smuggling a few beans from the middle east to the subcontinent and growing the first ever instance of Arabica coffee on non-Arabica soil. 

But the story has gone a little wonky in the last few years with the chains like Starbucks, Barista and Cafe Coffee Day coming in with their standard blends and corporate coffee cultures.

And we will not stand for this! Join me as I enjoy a conversation with Adhi Savla of the "Brewed Stories" podcast, as well as Deepika and Sai of Bean Theory Coffee in Thane!

Join us for a discussion on coffee, specialty coffee and how the culture is evolving in India.
