The Indo Pak Carnival Podcast

In this episode, we share an original poem that describes our common mentality towards the gravest problem that our society is facing today.
We discuss the monstrous act against Priyanka Reddy and the questions it raises. We also discuss how this problem is not limited to a country or sect of people but is spread far and wide around the world. In the end we talk about the steps that we need to take against these molesters and criminals and also discuss what we as common folk should do to make this situation better for everyone. 

We start off the episode by talking about Don Cherry's comment about immigrants and discuss how Canada is heavily reliant on us. We discuss the challenges faced by an immigrant when coming to Canada. Ali describes the situation and the circumstances regarding Nawaz Sharif and how our judiciary sometimes betrays us. We also discuss the lack of personal accountability leading to culture of blame game. We end the episode by talking about our favorite Sachin memories and why Pakistanis prayed for Sachin to make a century. We also discuss the young Pakistani bowling sensation Naseem Shah and his bright future. Listen and tell us what you think about it on our instagram @theindopakcarnival.

In this episode we talk about the biggest peace step taken by India and Pakistan in awhile, the Kartarpur corridor. We share our thoughts on it and how significant the move is for the region. We also discuss the most common problem in our society right now, i.e., negativity and how people are able to find faults with almost everything. We discuss India and Pakistan’s uninspiring form in T20s in 2019. India’s record in 2019 is 7-6 and Pakistan’s 1-8-1. What are the concerns and what needs to be done. We also discuss KSI v/s Logan Paul 2 and how what we think about YouTubers becoming boxers and exploiting their young fans. Give it a listen and let us know what you feel. Videos of the podcast available on YouTube.

The 36 questions that can make you “fall in love with anyone” were first published in 1997, in an academic paper by psychologist Arthur Aron. Participants were told to work their way through the questions in order, each answering all 36 questions, over a period of about an hour. Six months later, two of the participants were married to each other.
In this episode we put our friendship to the ringer and get to know each other at a deeper level. We share some really interesting and some really embarrassing stories and as always some philosophical stuff.
Send us your responses to these questions. We would love to hear from you.
Enjoy!
