Gautam has moved to Mumbai, watched Tame Impala in Amsterdam, and still managed to turn up at the wrong airport terminal. Clearly, life is going well. This week on Bamba Mentality, Somnath, Joteen and Gautam discuss Mumbai prices, Bangalore weather, hair-loss panic, celebrity worship, and why opening Twitter feels like picking up a bad habit. There are also peptide parties, hospital raves, questionable egg science, and some genuinely good book recommendations. And if any of this sounds concerning, relax. Everything will be sorted by 2047. We’ve decided to wait. What’s the first thing you’d want fixed by 2047? Tell us in the comments and leave us a book recommendation while you’re there.

What does it actually mean to be Indian?

In this episode of Bamba Mentality, we get into the strange middle ground that is being Indian — not the worst, not the best, just... somehow okay. 😂

We talk about parents who refuse to move with the times, whether being born in India is enough to qualify as “national depression,” why supermarkets are slowly disappearing, and how Blinkit/Zepto have made us too lazy to leave the house.

We also get into Khata culture, online vs offline shopping, the death of local stores, our parents discovering online shopping, Dunzo, coffee getting ridiculously expensive, and why buying groceries has somehow become an inconvenience.

Basically, this is a conversation about India, technology, nostalgia, convenience, money, parents and the bizarre little things that make us Indian.

If you've ever ordered something online and hidden it from your parents, complained about going grocery shopping, or felt like India is simultaneously improving and getting worse — this episode is for you.

Bamba Mentality — a comedy podcast about everything we can't stop thinking about.
