Welcome to yet another exciting, interesting, educating, entertaining episode – sorry, we are a week late! (It had something to do with the one half of this duo being technologically challenged) And, if you’ve been paying attention you will notice that this is our special DIAMOND JUBILEE EPISODE! Woo hoo! So, apart from being the strongest substance known to man, a diamond is also used to seal the deal, ya know. Make it offish. Marilyn Monroe sang about them, and so did Beyoncé. But that’s enough about diamonds, you know what’s cooler in a relationship – its communication. And languages form the basis of communication. But what if you and your loved ones spoke two different languages to communicate your affection to each other? That’s where The Love Languages come into the picture. For this episode, we will be talking about the five key love languages that have the power to mend, break or nourish a relationship. Sweety and I will be sharing our results on the Love Language Test – and we will be talking about

Heloooo, hello! We are back from our month-long break! And how have we been using this time? Well, glad you asked because we have been living our best life, making memories and creating stories – stories that we can share. And boy, do we have a stack of fresh stories to tell you guys! In case of Sweety, she has been solar charging her batteries at a beachside vacay, after she is done canoodling and canoeing at a cabin in the woods with her fiancé (YES BISHES! You read THAT RIGHT! I told you we had stories to tell!) Pappu has a personal-life update to share too, though not as dramatic. BUT DRAMA - we know that’s what you guys have tuned in for. SO, we lets dish some – we’re talking THE engagement or our fav desi girl Priyanka with the dude who used to sing on Disney channel. A new M.I.A documentary is coming out and Sweety is excited about it. We talk about Matt Groening on his Apu criticism and share our fav summer shows to watch. Leaving the best for the last – our latest Show the Bhindi (Show the Ladyfinger

‘Female friendships that work are relationships in which women help each other belong to themselves.' ― Louise Bernikow This week’s episode is all about holding on to your girl gang or femme-identifying gang. For our Mujse Dosti Karoge episode, we will be discussing the challenges we face in making new friends when you are older and the importance of holding on to your old connections. Sweety and Pappu have some very practical steps you can incorporate into your own lives. Also, as part of the Dalit History Month we will be interviewing a very special guest – Hugo award nominated speculative fiction writer Mimi Mondal, she will help us expand our understanding of South Asian Sci-Fi and fantasy fiction, and what it means to be a Punk Dalit girl. Rest assured at the end of this episode you will have considerably lengthened up our reading list, like we just did. --- Sound Clips from: - Biwi No. 1 (1999) -- // Starring: • Sweety & Pappu // See what’s next on Chuski Pop: • ChuskiPop.com // Buy Art Prints - Chu

For this week's Aaj Ka Kabootar aka Today's Pigeon News, Sweety and Pappu  dive right into April with our celebration of Dalit History Month. If you are not sure what that is, or if you're unfamiliar with the caste system, let this segment be your primer. The recent news about about 2.8 million CBSE students in Grade 10 and Grade 12 having to retake their exams really gave Pappu a cold sweat because it reminded her of her dreaded Board Exams (and that horrible reoccurring dream of her trying to match her LHS and RHS for a math exam). Next up, Sweety & Pappu talk about the Cambridge Analytica and Facebook scandal (also don’t tell me you still have the Facebook app on your phone!). Bonus: we discuss Annihilation, Alex Garland’s latest sci-fi offering (spoilers!) and Pappu’s recent dating disasters. So tune-in and leg! -- //ANNOUNCEMENT// Enjoy listening to Desi podcasts? Then check out "The Inspiring Talk" by fellow Indian podcaster, Bijay. He takes you on a journey of ups and downs in life of today's most

This month is going to be all about stopping to smell the flowers (literally and figuratively) and finding ways to feel less overwhelmed. If life around you has been generally been feeling shit, then let me tell you something: shit is a great manure to make flowers grow! For this episode, we are going to focus on rising above the flotsam and jetsam brought about by the bombardment of links, think pieces, book and music recommendations. We will be talking about the art of thoughtful consumption. We will also spare a moment to talk about the International Women’s Day and how it was significant while making a mention of some entertainment news. And stay right with us until the end because we are interviewing artist extraordinaire Jasjyot Singh Hans (instagram.com/jasjyotjasjyot). With a client repertoire that includes Sabyasachi, Adidas, Google & more, Jasjyot’s curve hailing and queer celebrating work sparks joy in our little hearts – and we want to share his awesomeness with you Chuski Poppers too! --- Sou

Happy Holi everyone, spring is finally here! On this week's March Aaj Ka Kabootar aka Today's Pigeon News, Sweety and Pappu kick off the episode with a tribute to Sridevi.

In other news, Gucci swims turb-u-lant waters with its fashion faux pass. Sweety talks about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to India while Pappu talks of the very meme-worthy moments of Justine Jr. Also, do not miss - Sweety practicing her colonizer accent. Word on the street is that the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wedding extravaganza will host a 1000 ‘commoners’ too! --- Sound Clips from: - Chaalbaaz (1989) and English Vinglish (2012) -- // Starring: • Sweety & Pappu // See what’s next on Chuski Pop: • ChuskiPop.com // Buy Art Prints - ChuskiPop.com/Shop // Donate - ChuskiPop.
