Events, roundups, tips, tools, new work, announcements, workshops, this is a catch-all for all the news fit to share!
In this episode, we hear from someone living a Justin Bieber song. He’s got a girlfriend (Prem & Rogue call her Sita), BUT ‘his mama don’t like her and she likes everyone’ … specifically another girl she thinks her darling son should be dating instead (We’ll call her Gita). What’s a shuddh desi boy to do? Prem and Rogue unpackage that one with aplomb.
When is it time to let go? How do you know when it’s a phase, a 6-year itch or time to pull the plug? A serious question demands a serious answer in the love and dating segment. Prem & Rogue look at it and weigh in with personal experience.
We’re talking about The Boys today. Both — the pair down there and how it changes the situation when you can’t grow … a pair as well as, you know, guys with mummy issues. Our first question is about a reaction to someone with only one testicle. Yes, you heard that right.
Familiarity, they say, breeds contempt. But what about distance? Is it mind games if you forget to call or text your significant other?
Plus, we talk about the distance to the loo — especially after sex, especially when the bathroom is shared with a roommate. Awkward much?
On episode 14, guest host Priyal offers practical wisdom and navigation tips for using social media as a dating tool. Should you DM someone you think is cute on twitter or Snapchat or Instagram? Is that kosher? Or is that invasive? Can you date someone you meet on social media? Priyal’s an awesome guest, Prem & Rogue at least agree on that one!
Mumbai is one of only a few major conurbations in the world to boast urban flamingos. But a new bridge will cut through their habitat and most likely drive them away. For World Migratory Bird day on May 10, my web story (longer, more comprehensive reportage) appeared...
Prem and Rogue are back, discussing pedicures and spa treatments. No, not really. They’re actually talking about another part of the anatomy that a certain listener wants his girlfriend to explore. Intrigued? Listen in, you may learn something!
on India’s drought, heat, and forest fires for PRI’s The World
I did a two-way (that's a host-interview) with Marco on The World this week, talking about the water, heat, and fire situation here in India, sharing details of my visit to Uttarakhand in late April. I also wrote an essay (text on the page is different from the...
Can a hashtag resolve decades of international rivalry? In India and Pakistan the social media campaign Profiles for Peace has at least shown that tens of thousands of thousands of people on both sides of the border are willing to put their names and faces to the...
It’s a special episode with a special guest as Prem & Rogue tackle love, sex and the nitty gritty of dating. In this episode: the shifty realm of bromances – when you’re competing with your man’s best friend (not in a sexual way) for attention.
Prem & Rogue are back sticking their nose into your business and you love it. This time – is it okay to introduce your current flame to your ex? What are the pros/cons? Are there pros at all? Prem comes up with an astonishing metaphor, check it out.
On their first double digit episode (10! We made it to 10!) Prem + Rogue get into the problems with exes – first when time has faded the bad and left only the good memories, so you want to meet up and (probably) hook up. Wise? As usual, Prem-Rogue disagree. And calling out Prem is their good friend (and famous Bollywood actor, woohoo!) Shiv Pandit *drum roll*
