On the season finale of "Uncle, Please Sit!", Joel and Tushar talk to a couple who left the city for greener pastures. Literally. Vahishta Mistry was a senior media and startup executive and Neha Sumitran was the web editor of National Geographic Traveller India Magazine. Almost two years ago they moved out of Mumbai in their search for a more sustainable, rural life. Having picked up a few skills while working at farms across the country, they finally settled in a village near Kodaikanal to set up their own home.

The couple shares their experience of what it was like to go from being urban city slickers to rural residents, what was their motivation behind the move, how they planned it, and how it has changed their lives. Click through to check out the episode.

On an all new episode of "Uncle, Please Sit!", Joel and Tushar are joined again by senior tech journalist, Jaison Lewis, to discuss gaming.

The panel talks about the influence of gaming, it's massive market-size, and why so many people tend to dismiss it as frivolous or as child's play. Something that is far from the truth. Click through to check out the episode.

On this episode of "Uncle, Please Sit!", Joel and Tushar are joined by Dr Aparna Pande, the author of "Making India Great - The Promise Of A Reluctant Global Power" and Director of the Initiative on the Future of India and South Asia at the Hudson Institute. The topic of discussion this week revolves around the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. A global statesman, an astute politician, and one of the founding fathers of India - Nehru has always been a larger-than-life figure in the country and often the topic of a heated debate. There has always been an interest in analyzing his time in office, but over the last few years, there seems to be a concerted effort to blame him for many of the ills that India faces, even today. Is there any truth to these allegations? Is he just an easy scapegoat? Or is Nehru being attacked to undermine secular values that many hold dear? The panel explores these questions along with much more. Click through to check out the episode!

This week on an all-new episode of Uncle Please Sit, Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani are diving deep into what uncles fear the most - and it's not jewelry commercials or pride parades. This week, we're talking about China.

Patriarchy. Its a word we hear a lot these days, but what does it mean exactly? Who or what is the patriarchy? And why does it need to be smashed? Joel Pereira and Tushar Abhichandani have as guest Karanjeet Kaur, senior journalist and Creative Editor at Arre, and that's exactly what we're talking about.

At its very core, the patriarchy is a social system in which men hold the power and women are collectively excluded from it. We speak about the intrinsic unfairness of this system, the unseen effects, and even its unlikely victims, men themselves. Click through to hear more.
