About this listen

What is it really like growing up in a multigenerational South Asian household?

In this episode of The Cultural Barrier Podcast, Taj and Bal explore the realities of living under one roof with grandparents, parents, and children — navigating three generations, three perspectives, and often, three very different worlds.

They reflect on their experience of extended family life, the deep connection they had with their grandparents, and why many younger children today may not experience that same closeness. From shared responsibilities and cultural expectations to humour, conflict, and harmony, they unpack the quirks and unspoken rules of multigenerational living.

This episode dives into:

  • Growing up in an extended South Asian family
  • The impact of grandparents on identity and values
  • How family dynamics are changing across generations
  • Which traditions to preserve — and which ones to let go

Join Taj and Bal for an honest, lively conversation about culture, family, and what it means to bridge tradition and modern life.

Perfect for listeners interested in South Asian culture, intergenerational relationships, identity, parenting, and multigenerational households.
