Episode Description:
Ever wonder what happens when the world's largest democracy holds an election or how a 50-foot snake can reshape our understanding of ancient life? That's where my co-host, Omar Najam, and I, Sandeep Parikh, step in, breaking down these enormous topics with equal parts humor and insight. We're not just talking politics and prehistoric predators; join us for a riveting conversation with Sabir Pirzada as we navigate the cultural labyrinth of Indian vs. American weddings and spotlight his thrilling projects in the comic realm.

And as we celebrate our Desi of the week, Meena Alexander, we're reminded of the power of community and storytelling. From wedding banter to giant snakes, and navigating the unpredictable seas of the entertainment industry, this podcast is an eclectic mixtape of topics that promises to keep you engaged, entertained, and perhaps even enlightened.
