## Resource

Welcome to 2026 — where resolutions are loud, motivation lasts 24 hours, and reality hits before the cheese Maggi finishes boiling. In this episode of Moment of Silence Podcast, we give you a first look at the NEW MOS Studio and ask the uncomfortable question: are we actually better versions of ourselves this year, or just rebranded? We talk about New Year resolutions that didn’t even survive Jan 1, healthy eating plans sabotaged by chips, food delivery apps we swore we’d boycott (but didn’t), and the chaos of trying to “do better” without changing habits. Things escalate quickly — from an unexpected encounter with Radhika Merchant, to entering the kitchen with good intentions and exiting with near-death trauma. We tick off bucket-list moments, unpack the fear and freedom of solo travel, and relive losing money in euros on our Amsterdam trip (which hurt more than expected). From Indian music feeling oddly comforting abroad, to nightfall meaning two very different things (wink wink), to questionable massage parlours that felt less relaxing and more life-threatening. We also dive into red-alert areas, suggesting a paywall option, and moments that made us question why Shankar Mahadevan sings every song like it’s cardio. Add movie reviews- Dhurandar, personal losses, cultural shocks and vision boards for 2026.Basically: new year, new studio, same us — just louder, wiser (for sure), and still figuring it out. A big thank you to Orange Tree for sponsoring the lovely, comfortable furniture that elevates the space. https://www.instagram.com/orangetreehomes?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Chaptering: 00:00 – MOS enters 2026 with opinions 00:37 – Welcome to the MOS Studio era 01:49 – New Year resolutions 02:34 – Casual day, casually met Radhika Mer…
