EP 72: House Buying Stress 12.07.2023

As we both are ready to get on the property ladder, the process of buying a house comes with a few problems of its own. Most problems can be predicted and researched on but we got blindsided by the vastu shastra involved! If you don't know what that is, come join us!

EP 70: Healing our inner child... 01.05.2023

We are a product of our conditioning. Growing up, rarely all of us have all of our needs met. Mina tried her absolute best to get all the attention whereas Meri just wanted to get away. Meri and Mina discuss what they lacked and how they are trying to cope / feed the inner child...

EP 69: Motorola Razor is in the museum now? We old old | Sinerji Studio 27.04.2023

This podcast was inspired by Diya, Mina's second niece who turned 18 recently. This not only made us feel like an aunty but also took us to our nostalgic memories. Where has the time gone? Meri's first phone is in the museum now? Our audience share one few things that made them feel old, give it a listen, I am sure you can relate to it a bit or more....

EP 68: When I met my biological dad as a teenager... 12.04.2023

Being Gurkha kids, we were practically raised by our mothers on her own. When we finally got to live with our dads during our teenage years, it was fun and games at first which very soon came to an end. Meri & Mina share their hardships, fond memories and how they "idolised" their fathers in this episode. Enjoy the rollercoaster. If you're a Gurkha kid, please leave us a comment...

EP 67: Passenger Princess 01.04.2023

EP 66: One size fits all, only in Asia | Culture shocks part two | Sinerji Studio 24.03.2023

We are still fascinated about Japan. Still fascinated about the fact that people in Asia claim one size fits all... Here is a part two of our Culture shock podcast. Apologies on the video quality, we didn't realised it was fogged up whilst filming :(

EP 65: Culture shock whilst travelling... 12.03.2023

Mina in an avid traveller and has been solo travelling on and off for the past decade. Whilst travelling we have experienced fair share of culture shocks. We asked, you answered all the culture shocks you have experienced. Our audience did not disappoint us and were fully engaging ( keep it going guys!). Hence we have a part two coming up.  We do apologise on the late upload. Our files were c...

EP 64: Crush or Crushed Stories 12.02.2023

A day to celebrate love, it's called!  We thought we'd down memory lane and share stories about first or most memorable crushes. We weren't expecting such funny responses but I guess we are all at that age where we are comfortable laughing at our naivety and the innocence of our adolescence. Happy Valentine's to everyone. It's a day to love yourself and your dear ones.

EP 63: The family financial scams 01.02.2023

Money and problems led by it can be the sole reason in breaking families apart. How do you say no to requests for help when it's ingrained in the culture that if you are in a better position, you ought to take care of the rest. Where do you draw the line and stop feeling guilty for their lack of opportunities or sometimes lack of will?

EP 62: Dating Stories 24.01.2023

When they said you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find the prince charming, they didn't specify it would be this MANY! We asked you for your funny, weird dating stories and you delivered. Dating wise, Mina and Meri are completely opposite. The differences are pretty clear as we tell our dating stories and trust me, Meri has some interesting ones in the bag for us.

EP 61: New Year Resolutions 12.01.2023

It's THAT time of the year. No matter how cliche it sounds, new year comes with reflecting achievements and failures of the year gone and listing goals for the coming one. In this year end appraisal of ourselves, we share what we want to work towards and how we want to do it. We hope you also have listed things to look forward to and wish you are blessed with the motivation to make it happen.&nbsp...

EP 60: Moving Onto 2023 24.12.2022

Just like that, another year has gone by. At the end of last year, we summarised our first year of Sinerji and that year of our life. We revisited the feelings from that episode and our whole year after that.  Regardless of any setbacks, hope your year went great with lots of personal achievements and even if it didn't, there is always time to set things into motion. Merry Christmas and a Hap...

EP 59: If you were a... 12.12.2022

After a couple of emotionally charged episodes, we thought we should lighten up the mood a little bit. After all, life is not always heavy. We had fun answering these silly questions and although our answers had borderline narcissistic vibes, the journey to come up with them was definitely a reflective one. These answers may not truly describe us but it's how we see or would like to see ourselves...

EP 58: My toxic trait is.. | Sinerji Studio 01.12.2022

We sent out a questionnaire to the public to answer our curiosities. We cannot be the only ones with toxic traits right? As per usual, you guys did not disappoint us. Here we share your toxic traits and mention ours too. <3  All about the healing and having a banter together. 

EP 57: DEAR... 24.11.2022

Good or Bad, every person that has been in your life has probably taught you a lesson. For this episode, we wrote letters to three people that have had a significant impact on our lives. Without them, we would have been very different people and would have made very different choices in life. We hope you also think about and thank the ones that made you who you are.

EP 55: Cultural values; what will we pass down? 01.11.2022

Being raised in two different cultures comes with its own set of identity problems and one of the main one is the clash in personality between you and the culture you are supposed to BELONG to. We learn cultural values that become habits and are rooted so deep that we sometimes barely question them. Developing your personal values and then unlearning what doesn't align with what you have absorbed...

EP 54 : Living with Parents as an Adult 24.10.2022

Being raised in a culture where leaving home is not common, unless for "valid" reasons like studying or employment, and now living in a country where living with parents can be seen as lack of independence. We discuss the tiniest inconveniences to major boundary issues of sharing the roof with your Asian parents. Needless to say, cohabiting with people who have opposing personalities come with man...
