This one’s just us hanging out with Govind and Reshab- messy, funny, and a little too real at times.

We talk about everything from chaotic 4AM situations, house hunting struggles in Gurgaon, and why bachelor life is such a mess… to random debates about books vs movies, and whether getting into a relationship actually changes you.

Somewhere in between, we also get into why “boys time” matters so much, what friendship actually looks like at this stage of life, and why living with your friends might be one of the most important experiences you’ll ever have.

Tune in for a conversation that jumps from absolute nonsense and slightly unhinged to surprisingly real moments.

Take this as a sign to sit around with your friends and let the conversation go wherever it wants.

In this episode, we sit down with Shivam, an emotional intelligence coach, to unpack something we hear about all the time but rarely understand properly- EQ.

We start by trying to answer a simple question: what does emotional intelligence actually mean? From there the conversation moves into why most of us avoid our emotions instead of understanding them, and how that avoidance quietly shapes the way we live.

Shivam shares his journey from growing up in Patna to studying engineering and slowly questioning the beliefs he grew up with. We talk about identity, relationships, writing as a form of self-expression, and the random events that often shape the direction of our lives.

Join in for a thoughtful conversation about understanding your emotions, figuring out what actually matters to you, and learning to live with more awareness.

This one gets very real.

In this episode, we sit down with Nikhil Taneja for a conversation that starts around masculinity and the emotional lives of men, but slowly turns into something much more personal.

Nikhil's learnings from speaking to thousands of young men across India on Be A Man, Yaar turns into a larger conversation about how boys grow up, how masculinity gets shaped early on, and why vulnerability can feel so difficult for men.

We end up talking about grief, responsibility, therapy, and the strange way life can hold joy and loss at the same time as Nikhil reflects on becoming a father and losing his own father just months apart.

This one is honest, emotional, and one of the most real conversations we’ve had on the podcast.

In this episode of Kindergarten Wisdom, we sit down with film enthusiast and creator Harshit Bansal for a curious conversation about movies, creativity, and filmmaking in India.

Why do some people simply watch films, while others obsess over them?

Harshit shares how cinema can become a gateway into entirely new cultures, ideas, and philosophies and why movies can sometimes teach us more about the world than we realise.

From filmmakers around the world to the evolving definition of cinema in the age of YouTube, vlogs, and reels, the conversation explores what storytelling really means today.

We also touch on a dilemma every creative person eventually faces:

Should you create art for expression, or for commercial success?

Along the way, we talk about discovering world cinema, film festivals, and how independent filmmakers in India are finding ways to get their films made.

Come along if you’ve ever found a piece of yourself reflected in the films you watch.

Just Vishnu and Jatin... no guests, no structure.

What starts as a casual conversation slowly turns into something more honest. They revisit the phases that shaped them -the IIT prep years, the environments they grew up in, the quiet ways scarcity and pressure still show up today- and question how many of their choices were actually theirs.

Along the way, they unpack how friendship influences the direction of your life, why we delay doing what we truly want, and how easy it is to drift into a version of yourself you didn’t consciously choose.

It’s reflective, a little uncomfortable, and very real.

If you’ve ever paused and wondered, “How did I end up here?”... this might feel familiar.

What if the way you see yourself, the way others see you, and the way you want to be seen are all different... and that’s the root of your inner conflict?

In this episode, we break down six quotes that challenge how we think about work, creativity, identity, and growth. From the illusion of productivity to the discomfort of practice, from art and validation to the idea that we’re all “broken”, this is a conversation about understanding yourself a little better.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Chitralekha Marie Massey, Chief of Section for the Rights of Older Persons at the United Nations Human Rights Office.What does the United Nations actually do? How does someone go from studying genetics and computer science in India to working on some of the most complex human rights challenges across the world? And why is aging emerging as one of the most urgent, yet overlooked, global issues of our time?Dr. Massey shares stories from across her journey, from volunteering with street children in Delhi and field missions in conflict zones to shaping global conversations on ageism and the rights of older persons. Along the way, she offers insight into the realities of working inside the UN system, what young people should know if they want to pursue international careers, and why human dignity must remain at the center of policymaking.This episode moves between personal stories, global politics, and unexpected moments, including how Bollywood became an unlikely bridge in conflict regions.

Meet Col Sudip Mukerjee (Retd.), a former Indian Army officer turned behavioral expert, author, and NLP practitioner, joins us for a deep dive into decoding the hidden patterns behind how we think, decide, and interact with others. In this episode, we explore why manipulation isn’t always negative, how language reveals our thinking patterns, why confidence is a byproduct of knowledge rather than affirmations, and the four core human needs that secretly drive most of our decisions. Drawing from his experiences across the army, psychology, and corporate leadership, Col Mukerjee breaks down the mechanics of human behavior, offering powerful insights on relationships, anxiety, self-awareness, and how understanding the mind can help us navigate life more consciously.
