House #79

Shruthi is a new friend. Friend would be a limiting title, maybe boss? An instant connect, Armaan and Shruthi work together and hence have to spend a lot of time together. She is also an avid listener of the podcast, which gives her an inlet into Armaan's life that not a lot of people have. All in all, a very interesting personality, graced with a very sleepy conversation.

Anubhav is a sailor in the merchant navy. We talk about all his experience of being in his profession, the joys, the regrets, and oh of course, the usuals about love. Felt nice to be recording a pod after so long. Also feels nice to not have the pressure of regularity in a piece of content that we create.

Apologies for the extremely low quality audio. A genuine slipup on my behalf. Vishwa has been annoying Armaan with her Instagram stories because she keeps travelling around the world and posting it on there. Now that she's finally settled in Bangalore, she's at House #79, and she agreed to come on the pod! We talk about literally everything, ranging from school life to how we became atheists. And how those two are interconnected.

The three of us hang out all the time, so it's actually surprising that this is episode twenty one. Absolutely no structure in this one, the conversation starts with performance during conversation and ends up at us freestyling (hardly).

Aaratrika was always a listener of the pod. That changed today. She describes her entire Gokarna trip in detail, talks about the usual topics that Armaan brings up. Why are these episodes longer than the usual? The episodes are getting much more informal, the conversations are becoming a lot more disjointed. Stay safe.

Quite an unexpected episode. Umesh is basically living Armaan's dream, and is somehow in House #79 for an evening! This is the longest chat ever on the podcast, and it's so fun. Is the end really the end?

Niraja is an ex close friend of Armaan, who has a very stupid and unique way of describing people. Listen to us disagree about specificity, and vagueness, apart from the usual questions about love, god, success, and last night.

Ex flatmates and old friends, Armaan and Aditya sit and talk about life, love, happiness etc.

If you're easily bored, skip to 2:45. If you have a pair of headphones and strong imagination, listen through ;) Armaan and Nikhil haven't talked in a while. This is their 'once in two months' catch up session. Bi-monthly? Or is that twice a month? Anyway, they talk. It's fun.

Rhea, a new friend of Armaan's, knows 7 different languages! That too fluently. There are other non fluent ones, it seems. They talk about the influence and need of knowing multiple languages, apart from the usual questions about love and God.

Shreya recently travelled through lots of cities in India, hence making Armaan jealous through her Instagram stories. We talk about what travelling does to you as a person, and how it helped her. And the regular questions about love and God of course.

Armaan and Nikhil haven't sat together for a while now. This rainy Saturday afternoon, they finally found the time to sit and rant about things and question themselves.

Yashas talks about being 'in character' in your day to day life, freelancing, jobs, and oh, some stuff about main character energy.

Vaibhav is one of Nikhil's closest friends, and he comes over like once in four months. On this visit, we decided to record an episode with him. A fully disconnected conversation, starting from corporate work, ending on solo travelling, with fillers of Nikhil's sadness.

Does House #79 podcast remain House #79 podcast if it's not recorded at House #79? I guess we'll never know.

Alternate title: Episode 10 - Gulnar or Gulzar?

The last episode got cut off abruptly because of some technical snag, but here's the remaining bit!

Bhasker, a psychologist and a good friend of the hosts, talks about literally everything above the sky (and beyond). God, love, religion, work, and OH, therapy!

Divyam, co-founder of Matar Media, talks to Armaan about the process of making a company, dropping out of college, believing in oneself, and the need for creativity in his life. An extremely insightful conversation for creators!

Aditya and Nikhil talk about the entire field of video editing. The what's and how's and why's.
