Ep. 157: Dream of para-para-Paraprosdokian

Simblified ·

2019/11/25

On this light-hearted shortie, Srikeit and Naren simblify the figure of speech, Paraprosdokian. Yes, that's one heck of a tongue twister. Join them in this episode as they give you humourous examples and guide you to unexpect the expected. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED? It's an Indian podcast - probably the best to come from Malad West - that takes things that happen around us, and deconstructs them in a language you can understand, often surmounting several puns and PG Wodehouse references along the way.

Ep. 156: Behavioural Addiction

2019/11/18

After a series of celebrating our milestone, we are back to continue our normal episodes with mildy researched topics and a little banter, not that it was any different previously. All banter aside, this week, we dive deep into the sensitive topic of behavioural addiction. Srikeit and Naren simblify what behavioural addiction is, the neurochemistry of the brain and how we can help someone suffering from behavioural addiction. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED?

We are finally done with our 150th episode special, yes we swear this time it's over and it took us only 6 parts to end it. We hope that you enjoyed this interactive journey and would like to thank each and every one of you who took the time to write to us and patiently listened throughout this series. It has been an amazing journey so far! Alright, enough with the acceptance award speech and let's get to what we have for you this week! We have dedicated this entire episode to talk about brand

Will this ever end? Perhaps not soon. We've received an overwhelming response from you guys and want to try and answer all of your questions! So yes, we've put together another 150th episode. On this Srikeitless episode, Chuck and Naren break down the dying question, why is sion called shiv and why do the local cabs in Mumbai have certain surburbs mentioned at the back of them but will go anywhere you like? They also simblify the Easter Islands and talk about the the most remote place on earth,

Goodness, another 150th episode? This is a running joke now which we hope carries through till our 200th episode. Yup, we crossed 150 recently, and to celebrate, we asked our fans to send in some questions and boy did we get a lot! In this episode, Chuck & Srikeit simblify Brexit (always a hilarious topic) and Dubai. Thank you to @Clytone (Instagram), @siddharthdudeja (Instagram) and everyone who sent questions in! We might have one more 150th episode. By which we mean we definitely will. NEW TO

2019/10/23

What, yet another 150th episode? Well, yes. We got way too many requests from our listeners- so you have only yourselves to blame, actually. This week, we have only the young scallywags Chuck and Srikeit, as Naren was... well... contributing to the economy. In this episode, we look at the effect of various intoxicants on the brain (purely from theoretical research of course), the importance of space travel (not with said intoxicants) and why the damn waist size number is different from actual waist

In this second part of our 150th episode (whatever that means), we continue what we did with the first part. As you know, we asked our listeners to send in ideas for things we can Simblify to celebrate this little milestone. Once again - thank you for the overwhelming response. If you don't like these episodes, you now have only yourselves to blame. Once again, we have a whole bunch of kickass questions, and the trio of Chuck, Srikeit & Naren will try their best to answer them (or, at the very

That's right, you let us ramble on unchecked and we'll eventually hit a milestone. So we collectively raise our podcasting bats (or... mics) to acknowledge the deafening cheers that accompany our 150th episode! To celebrate (or... finding a way out since we were too lazy to do anything) - we asked our dear listeners to send in ideas for things we can Simblify! Thank you for the overwhelming response - so much so that we're going to have multiple 150th episodes! We have a whole spectrum of questions

Ep. 149: Cocaine Hippos

2019/09/09

This shortie has everything - drugs, lots of sex and the resulting hippos. To make sense of that, join Chuck and Srikeit for this fascinating story of how Pablo Escobar's bizarre legacy continues to bother the Colombian government nearly 30 years after his death. This episode is just like one of Escobar's hippos: short, plump and bloody hilarious! NEW TO SIMBLIFIED?

2019/09/02

We've seen a lot of action in the space of financial technology in the last few years. Satyen Kothari knows a thing or five about the space, having started multiple companies, including Citrus Payments and Cube Wealth, his newest venture that aims to make investing simple and relateable. Srikeit and Chuck have a chat with him, traversing lots of terrain - including startup stories, life at Stanford, and how different Silicon Valley is from India. Needless to say, Satyen raises both the average IQ

2019/08/26

Apartheid. South Africa. Cricket World Cup. Somehow, those three terms seem to be linked uncomfortably together - so the Simblified gang (or, 2/3rds of it anyway) have a look at how South African cricket got themselves in a spot of trouble in the first place. It's a fascinating story of a cricketer called Basil D'Oliviera, racist politicians, some bribery and a lot of circumstances falling in place. The end result: SA didn't play cricket for decades, till their politicians finally came to their

Ep. 146: On making crosswords, ft. Tony Sebastian

Simblified ·

2019/08/19

Crosswords - those quaint old things, delighting pun lovers since time immemorial - are notoriously difficult things to put together (let alone solve). So the guys who make them must be some other-level geniuses only. Your hosts aren't - but luckily, we managed to get someone on the show! Tony Sebastian is a cruciverbalist (yes, that's what they're called) who has set crosswords for The Hindu, and is a wordplay enthusiast (also a nonsense enthusiast, given it's his third appearance on Simblified)

2019/08/12

HOWZAAAAAAAT! Sorry, we had to catch your attention. In this episode, the Simblified guys look at the fascinating technology that is Hawkeye, how it works and how it's used in other sports (including, for some reason, golf, which, for some reason, thinks it's a sport). Anyway, this shortie episode also tells you some fascinating trivia like when the first time it was used was, and how much it costs. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED?

In this episode, Srikeit and Chuck look back at the history of the Cricket World Cup from 1996 to 2019: Highlights, takeaways and funny moments from each of these tournaments. Yes, even 2007, which noone remembers. They are joined by Tony Sebastian (twitter.com/notytony) who is guesting on this episode to fill in for Naren. We hope you enjoy this show and get a little nostalgic, even as you're recovering over the greatest ODI ever. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED? It's an Indian podcast - probably the best to

2019/07/29

Cricket was introduced by the colonising British all over the world. In many places, the game was absorbed by local communities and transformed into something different. In this episode, your Simblified hosts look at two such variants which emphasize social bonding and pretty much lose the competitive angles. NEW TO SIMBLIFIED?

Ep. 142: A lookback at the Cricket World Cup - Part 1

2019/07/22

True hipsters that we are, we've decided to do a series of cricket shows AFTER the CWC19 is over. Some might call us late, but we say there's benefit in being late (like in Lara's batting technique, for instance). Anyway, the Simblified gang look through the World Cup editions 1975 to 1992, each of which were different, a microcosm of the changing times around them. From the quiet, polite, sparse crowds of England 1975 to raucous middle-class noise of Subcontinent 1987. From the low-scoring matches

What happens when three Pun lovers who run a podcast meet their spiritual Punning guru? That's right, a conversation on how to make tea. Ajit Bhaskar, whose puns on Twitter (@ajit_bhaskar) resulted in him being honoured with a unit (the worst Simblified pun is only. 6 Ajits), and whose incredible cooking skills have made many drool over at Instagram (@macroajit), is actually a Ph.D. who now is a food scientist.

Ep. 141: Ever Wonder how we predict the weather?

Simblified ·

2019/07/08

So, yeah, the weather in Mumbai isn't all that great (or is full of romance, petrichor, and other nonsense, if you don't need to travel by public transport). Anyway - we frequently criticize the MET for getting the weather wrong. But they get it right most of the time, and it's pretty darn difficult to ask given that literally anything in the world could change the weather. It was a meteorologist who coined the phrase 'butterfly effect', after all. Chuck and Srikeit look at how the weather is
