For the number of hours we spend on the 'gram, we sure don't talk about its safety and impact enough! Imagine my delight when Natasha Jog, the Head of Public Policy at Instagram graced my show to chat all things digital - from doom-scrolling to dirty pictures. In a refreshingly candid conversation, I asked her everything on my mind (propriety be damned) and also fangirled a little (okay, a lot). Please enjoy our chat and don't forget to tell us what you think of it.

Real Talk - Expanding My Podcast Universe

To record an episode that has zero cuss words and even lesser existential angst is unusual for me. But you see, I had to behave because I was in Maasi Mode. Joining me today is 9-Year-Old Veer Garg, my sister's son and also my favourite person in the whole wide world. I love how honest he is while also being articulate and wise. If you enjoyed listening, don't forget to let me know and I'll pass on your feedback to him. Sometimes, kids keep it real at a level that adults can only hope to reach, right?Find me on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/realgirlco/?hl=en" target="_blank">@realgirlco</a>

It's a very Indian thing to not reveal 'ghar ki baatein' but it's about time we normalize family drama instead of living in shame. It's fairly common to not get along with a family member because after all, life is not a Sooraj Barjatya movie so I figured some Real Talk on the subject was looong overdue!
