  • #31 The Akhaada Way
    Apr 1 2026

    In India, we would have heard about Akhaadas which serve as training schools for some of the Indian martial arts like Wrestling. We would have perhaps even seen wrestlers locked together in the traditional mud pits.

    Dive in to this episode to travel with Mr. M and one of his close friends who grew up the Akhaada way!

  • #29 Dacoit Ethics
    May 21 2023

    If you ever go to the Dudhwa National Park, you would be astounded by the forest of tall trees, open grasslands, marshes, gurgling rivers, elephants, rhinos and the very elusive tiger.

    Mr. M too travels to this place not in search of wildlife but to a bank branch deep inside the National Park area called Chandan Chowki. What he hears there is not a tale of a tiger but that of a dacoit with ethics.
