For example, a relative, friend or a matchmaker that can introduce you to a potential partner of marriage. In this podcast we discuss how forced marriage can be hidden under the facade of arranged marriage. We invite speakers who've witnessed or been a part of successful/ toxic arranged marriages. They draw on their experiences, establish their cultural norms within this marriage as compared to western ideals, debating on the ultimate idea, which is better? Arranged marriage or love marriage? In this episode we discuss the concept of 'arranged marriage', its origins, pros and cons and how it has developed in modern day.

Should we fear the monster that you see in front of you or should you fear the system that created it? Can you bring the monster out in anyone given the right amount of pressure? Who is a true “villain”? Join us on this rollercoaster of an episode where we discuss everything from the lighter topics of animated, fictional and literary villains to the villains that haunt our mortal life on Earth. The referenced detective story- Fictional story of Ronald Opus (it was misreported as a true story often and in the case of this episode). Follow us on Instagram @reasoning.with.prejudice for exclusive bloopers and trailers! In the episode, we explore who is deemed a monster. Through funny recollections of famous villains in books, movies and series, we debate a serious topic and ultimately come to the conclusion that a true monster depends on their “scareability” as said in Monsters University.

In our podcast we delve deeper into the connection between Dreams and Reality. We discuss how our dreams affect our reality, and vice versa. From questions such as 'Where do we go when we sleep?’ and 'Has our entire life just been a cleverly crafted hologram?' this podcast questions our own identity. We discuss our childhood recurring dreams and aspirations, and how that has shaped who we are right now. In this podcast we discuss the thin line between dreams and reality. We talk about the dreams and aspirations we've had as children, and how those change with us as time passes.

It is used in a satirical way. We portray an argument where we convince you why pigs can indeed fly. Join us on this fun discussion about the dangers of committing fully to any piece of scientific “facts” that are bound to change in the future. This is a very light, fun topic with a deep message. In this episode, we discuss and argue with our theory in mind that pigs can fly. You disagree? Listen to the podcast to have your opinion changed.

This is a very erudite topic, which we aimed to simplify. We explore if we have reached some form of autarky during this pandemic, and discuss the effect it would have on our life if this fantasy becomes reality. We use analogies to determine if autarky can be beneficial, and if at all it can be executed. Even though this is a very serious topic, we use the analogy of a zombie apocalypse and quarantining, and debate if living in autarky can be considered sustainable living in some ways. In this podcast, we discuss the concept of autarky and analyse hypotheticals of countries achieving self sufficiency. We talk about fundamentals and the effects.

From slow walkers to PTSD, we’ll mention at least one thing that you can relate with. After asking an audience of over 2500 people, we’ve picked out the best comments to respond to and talk about. We also offer some solutions to these situations. But who said that all triggers had to be negative? In this episode we discuss the true definition of ‘triggers’ and some of the different ways we all get ‘triggered’. We also talk about how we manage to cope in our everyday lives.

We grapple with what different religions have to say in the matter, discuss theories that terrified us as children. We also contemplate what our ideal after life would be like. Questions such as 'What is our soul?' and 'What counts as death?' are debated apon, as we reflect on our own experience with dealing with the death of our loved ones. In this podcast, we discuss the different theories about after life experiences, involving scientific and religious explanations.

Friends. 5 Niv, Manasi and Asia In this episode, we discuss the meaning of friendship using our personal experiences and opinions. Humans have evolved to be social creatures. We travel as a troop. So we thought it would be fun to discuss the dynamics behind friendships. We answer questions from ‘What qualities do you look for in a friend?’ to ‘How has our friendships changed us?’ giving you much more insight into who we are.

Thomas Gray, who is an English poet, talked about childhood bliss when he gave birth to the line. In a time where ‘knowledge is power’, is ignorance truly bliss? Or maybe in complicated situations, that are presented to us in this chaotic life, maybe it is blissful to be unaware. From discussing about Santa Claus, and hiding tattoos from parents, to hiding or not acknowledging critical diagnosis, we talk about the ethics and give our opinions on offering and accepting these ‘hard truths’ from our loved ones. In this episode, through a series of analogies, hypothetical scenarios and reference to various books and TV shows, we discuss if ignorance is truly bliss.

We debate the ethics behind it, evaluate if there is some truth in the matter, and if it did happen, would “the sun would truly dawn on a grateful universe”. We discuss it using examples, analogies and brainstorm other methods to battle the problem. In this podcast, we explain and discuss extensively about the theories posed in the Marvel movies ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Avengers: Endgame’.

Keep listening to hear the journey of how Manasi slowly comes to the dawning realisation that she is going to be a lonely lady with lots of cats. We will also discuss how believing in soul mates could potentially change the way we behave in our relationships by talking about theories posed by different cultures, religions and philosophers. We will talk about our own definitions of a soul mate and decide whether or not they exist.
