In a refreshingly candid conversation, I asked her everything on my mind (propriety be damned) and also fangirled a little (okay, a lot). Please enjoy our chat and don't forget to tell us what you think of it. Find me on Instagram @realgirlco or mail me at realgirlco@gmail.com

Real Talk - Solid Life Advice From A 9 Year Old Ft Veer Garg

To record an episode that has zero cuss words and even lesser existential angst is unusual for me. But you see, I had to behave because I was in Maasi Mode. Joining me today is 9-Year-Old Veer Garg, my sister's son and also my favourite person in the whole wide world. I love how honest he is while also being articulate and wise. If you enjoyed listening, don't forget to let me know and I'll pass on your feedback to him. Sometimes, kids keep it real at a level that adults can only hope to reach, right?

Real Talk - How To Deal With Family Drama
9/18/2020
It's a very Indian thing to not reveal 'ghar ki baatein' but it's about time we normalize family drama instead of living in shame. It's fairly common to not get along with a family member because after all, life is not a Sooraj Barjatya movie so I figured some Real Talk on the subject was looong overdue!
