]]>In Episode 5, we get into the realities of growing up in South Asian families — strict parents, being compared to your friends, boys vs girls, and the chaos of all-boys and all-girls schools.
We also talk about moving between countries, constantly having to make new friends, and how those experiences shape the way you handle university, work and adulthood.
And, naturally, we somehow end up asking whether technology is making our lives better… or just making everything more complicated.
If you grew up Desi, there’s probably something in this episode that will feel very familiar. 🎙️

]]>Zuhair and Mariam unpack the reality of moving to the UK and life abroad as South Asians: doing your own laundry, dishes and cleaning rotas, living with flatmates, and the culture shock of going from Desi khula mahol to splitting every penny.
But it’s not all bad. From the freedom and anonymity of London to independence and simply being able to walk around the city, we ask: is life in the West actually better, or have we just glamorised it from afar?

Basically, shaadi: pyaar, pressure or just pure khwaari?
