Chit Chaat & Chai
Meet your hosts Mala, RC, and Ritu, three Indian American women who are not your conventional desi aunties! In this podcast, we discuss our shared experiences and unique escapades that have shaped our individual perspectives. We explore bold, sensitive, and fun topics like the big Indian wedding, aging and beauty, and issues facing the South Asian community. Remember life is not short, life is unpredictable, so always strive to stay happy and add a little spice to your life! Please send any comments or questions to chitchaatandchai1@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you! Art Work by Morris Callegari, Music by SurNsoul by DipaliVishal, and Edited by Diya Singh.
