Parivaar talkies is a podcast where our father-teen daughter duo, Swasti (Ammu) and Mridumesh (Appa) engage in fun, sometimes “competitive” discussions, sharing ideas on various topics spanning writing, music, and trekking. It’s a public space to put our insights out there, and hopefully get some valuable responses from you guys too. So please join our conversations on Spotify, and check out our individual blogs on Substack for some thoughtful pieces. Thank you!
In this older episode recorded in May, Appa and I are back to recap life since the end of season 1. Although it took a while to get around to editing between my final exams and summer plans, we're officially kickstarting the new season of Parivaar Talkies, with reflective discussions and exciting conversations!

Ep 5: Family and Friends
"I am a part of all that I have met." – Alfred Lord Tennyson.
In this episode, we talk about how we've become who we are — from the way our family raised and influenced us to the impact left by the friends who left and those who stayed. It's a conversation not just about who we are, but why we are, so take a seat and join us as we discuss how we've shaped our joint, extended Rai Parivaar!

Ep 4: Music, Movies, and More
For this episode, Appa and I explore other media, delving into our playlists, watchlists, hobbies, and how we've also shaped each other's taste. From the songs we play on Saturday brunch to the movies we watch every dinner, we talk about how art brings us closer as a family.

Ep 3: Writing and Books
In this episode, we reflect on our experiences with words— from emails we've written to books we've read. We delve into what, why, and how we write, while also talking about what has inspired our writing and our next steps. Come with us as we strive to improve, and read some of the pieces on my (https://rhythmandstep.substack.com/) and Appa's (https://keyboardintellectual.substack.com/) blogs!

Ep 2: Treks and Vacations
In this episode, we set out on a journey through our treks and vacations — the kind that leave less space for relaxing on the beach, and are more about moving, exploring, and discovering. From the pahadon walli Maggi and accidental stargazing, to finding comfort foods in distant cultures, we've made memories, learned lessons, and gained perspectives that stay long after the trip ends. So come along as we retrace the trails, share stories, and reflect on what travel means to us as a family.

Ep 1: Quality Time
In the first episode, we explore various topics that we'll delve into in more detail in upcoming episodes. It's like a content list for the podcast— which, as Swasti says, is a chapter in itself. So join in the journey and sample the future…
