He told me the actual story of how computers entered Mumbai, when fax machines died, and what the analog-to-digital transition really felt like from the inside.But this conversation went way beyond his career.We talked about marriage — whether it genuinely gets boring, why Indian parents obsess over their children’s weddings, and the quiet comedy of hen-pecked husbands. We talked about his worst rejection, his love for rock music, his brush with Jethro Tull, and the 90s scene of LP cassette piracy and booking movie tickets by hand.We got into the business of comedy too — how clubs are designed, what Indian comedy looked like before stand-up existed, and why startups keep trying to gamify human connection.And we didn’t stop there. Modi’s larger-than-life image, Soho House networking, the builder-politician nexus in Maharashtra, pressure on kids, education abroad, cultural diversity — Atul had takes on all of it.I also shared a farewell story from my own life that I’ve never told on the podcast before.Timestamps:00:00 - Intro01:14 - Agencies vs Artists08:39 - Hen Pecker Husbands?11:24 - Does Marriage Get Boring?14:34 - Indian Parents Obsessed with Children’s Marriage17:39 - Is Rocket Singh Based on Reality?21:17 - How He Got Into Computer Industry28:02 - Atul’s Worst Rejection29:44 - Analog India vs Digital India32:18 - When Did Fax Machines Go?33:41 - Computer Adoption in Mumbai37:19 - Startups Gamifying Human Connection39:58 - His Love for Rock42:32 - Vinamre’s Podcast with Roger Waters?45:03 - Atul Meeting Jethro Tull47:55 - LP Cassettes Piracy in 90s50:34 - Booking Movie Tickets in 90s53:34 - How are Comedy Clubs Designed55:19 - Comedy in India before Stand Ups58:56 - End of Modi’s Larger Than Life Perception?1:02:41 - How Atul Looks So Young?1:04:51 - Meeting People at Soho House1:12:22 - Politicians and Builders in Maharashtra1:14:13 - Vinamre’s INSANE Farewell Story1:19:14 - The Shrink and The Nut1:25:34 - Pressure on Kids, Education Abroad & Cultural Diversity1:41:01 - Conclusion​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​====================================================================Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.He spends a significant part of his time reading and researching.With over 500 podcasts under his belt, he’s interviewed everyone—from HNIs and industry leaders to everyday superheroes.Follow Vinamre:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinamre-kasanaa-b8524496/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinamrekasanaa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/VinamreKasanaaDostcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dostcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dostcast====================================================================Contact Us:For business inquiries: dostcast@egiplay.com

I thought I knew exactly where this conversation would go — free speech, secularism, the usual frameworks.This one went deeper.We didn’t just talk about blasphemy as an idea. We talked about how it actually operates in society — the fear it creates, the incentives it builds, and why governments often prefer controlling speech over protecting it.From “sarr tann se juda” slogans to the reality of cancelling creators, from how blasphemy laws entered India to whether humans can even offend God — this episode goes into territory most people avoid.We also get into: • Why free speech is so hard to explain (but easy to lose) • The truth about triple talaq and religious teachings • Why Kushal believes religions often oppress women the most • What a “flat society” vs a “free society” actually looks like • Concerns around Punjab and cultural shifts in IndiaAt one point, we even break down free speech in the simplest way possible — and that’s where it hits the hardest.This is not a comfortable conversation.But it’s a necessary one.If you care about the future of speech, religion, and society in India — watch this till the end.Timestamps 00:00 - Hostile Islamic Slogans03:49 - Feeding Chicken Momo to Cows09:29 - Making Fun of God in India22:45 - Effect of Cancelling Content Creators25:54 - How Blasphemy Came to India31:47 - Incentive for Government to Control Speech34:43 - Free Speech and No Blasphemy Laws in India45:26 - Explaining Free Speech to Dehati49:19 - Reality of Triple Talaq in India52:27 - Religious Teachings in School58:42 - Humans Can’t Offend God1:01:29 - Religions Oppress Women The Most1:10:49 - Flat Society vs Free Society1:13:26 - Pakistanification of Punjab1:17:12 - Problem of Katha Vachaks in India1:26:53 - Why He Talks About Blasphemy1:39:13 - Conclusion====================================================================Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.He spends a significant part of his time reading and researching.With over 500 podcasts under his belt, he’s interviewed everyone—from HNIs and industry leaders to everyday superheroes.Follow Vinamre:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinamre-kasanaa-b8524496/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinamrekasanaa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/VinamreKasanaaDostcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dostcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dostcast====================================================================Contact Us:For business inquiries: dostcast@egiplay.com
