The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghBONUS: Meet Versha Verma - One of India's Unlikely Angels during the COVID-19 PandemicPlease NOTE: Most of this episode is in Hindi, and the poor audio in places is because of a phone conversation under some seriously difficult network issues!
MEET Versha Verma, the woman who is caring for those who have lost their lives, livelihoods or loved ones to the #COVID19 #pandemic in #India, providing succour and an invaluable service to the families of the dearly departed. Even though the Coronavirus pandemic in India has given her efforts a whole new dimention, she has been helping those who often cannot help themselves for years now - ever since she w...2021-06-0229 min
The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghLove is All Around & Corona is Time for Family: A chat with 7-year-old MirayaIn an impromptu interview with seven-year-old Miraya, who prominently features in yet another episode on this podcast, I ask her about Corona, why she thinks that it is punishing us like it has been, what this time means to her, how she has learnt to value family and what her advice is to people who are ill or worried about their family in these dark times. This is a child's honest, uncut view and I hope it is taken in the spirit it is intended. You can write in to me with your thoughts on thetruthaboutnobody@gmail.com or...2021-05-2010 min

Little Surdy kids in groups can be quite formidable, and scarier than their parents sometimes. Imagine a bunch of them, hopped up on ghee and sugar, at weddings, for example. Or at small-town events like "kuppal" (couple) or "family" kitty parties, and you will be stunned at the shenanigans these children can pull. Tune in to find out!

The Good Comms Podcast with Preeti SinghA Catastrophe of an ApostropheOne of the things I’ve been trying to explain for years now, and also being extremely mindful of, is the use of the #apostrophe. An apostrophe, that particular #punctuation mark – that single quotation mark that we put ahead of, or after, words, is a tricky little devil. So, I can understand why so many of us get it wrong so often.
Now that irritating little single #punctuationmark, or apostrophe, has a handful of very specific uses in the #EnglishLanguage.

The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghSegue into Season 3: GROWING UP PUNJABI!This podcast is an attempt to explore my intense curiosity about anything and everything. So, I also want to talk about anything and everything. It is a North Indian nobody’s story, yet it could be something of everybody’s. From growing up in the pre-liberalization India of the 80s and 90s, in a crazy Sikh family, I couldn’t have asked for a broader or more fun spectrum of experiences to recount. And recount I intend to. This whimsical, zigzagging life o' mine, served with a large helping of self-deprecation, a smattering of unavoidable sarcasm, some honesty and lots of lau...2020-09-2508 min
The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghSeason Two Wrap Up: I wish you love. 💕The lockdown has a been a great time to just connect with a lot of people and their stories. Of love, heart break, eternal quests, breathless hookups, patient romances, short confessions and long conversations. And I’ve been soaking it all up! But it's started to get to me - this forced confinement for the second year in a row. With nothing but a short and wonderfully blissful break of a few months in between, as I recovered from the GBS and rediscovered myself. Alas, there seems to be no respite from this round of being home bound. And I...2020-09-2021 min
The Good Comms Podcast with Preeti SinghMy Response to Being Labelled a Grammar "Nazi"People find it easy to call me a “Grammar Nazi” and have often done so in the past as well. I take wholehearted offence when it comes to the term. Especially because we use the word “Nazi” too easily. Lightly. Loosely. Without respecting what it once stood for and, unfortunately, the very real danger it still represents.
In deriding grammar “enthusiasts” with a term you don’t fully respect, and in trying to wrest a small victory over language lovers, merely because you can’t be bothered to admit you don’t care m...2020-09-1404 minThe Good Comms Podcast with Preeti SinghPinglish, anyone? The Problem with Punjabi English!The English language, like any other, has been corrupted by many. If there is Hinglish - or Hindi English - there is most definitely Pinglish, or Punjabi English. Punjoo friends and I have often laughed at our parents’, grandparents’ and relatives’ use of this strange concoction of Punjabi English that we’ve all grown up with.
Native languages or the mother tongue also make for a lot of confusion when you’re growing up and trying to master the other two languages that are compulsory to pass any exam in India - Hindi and English. It corrupts both, brin...2020-09-1305 min

It hasn’t been easy, but online dating apps today have made it a lot of fun. Perils exist, so it pays to be cautious and a tad judgemental, he tells me. We talk about profiles, pictures, ghosting, ageism, yardsticks and much much more...Tune in, will ya?!!

The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghQuest for “The One”: Magic, Myth, or Madness?So, what's your quest? Oh and...What does Maneesh think?? I often wonder just how many of us are still searching for “the one”? It’s true that some of us have found that person, some have loved and lost, while others have just been plain unlucky in the quest that, deep down inside, most of us are on - at least at some time or the other in our lives. Everyone’s quest for THE ONE is different. There is no rule book. There is no single definition. There is no mould you need to fit them into, or break...2020-09-0724 min
The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghSweep. Search. Swipe. ♾THIS EPISODE IS DEDICATED TO PRIDE MONTH 2020. Love is often brutal, unexpected and searingly indifferent to the chains that seek to bind it. May it forever roam free. And back to this season on dating online, I guess it’s not the dating apps’ fault when you have everyone looking for something often quite elusive out there – some for something specific, others for anything at all to break the monotony of their lives. I’m no different. Especially in this lockdown, this unnatural state of limbo we've been forced into. This podcast season was born out curiosity - my own, and...2020-06-2209 min
The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghA Brave New World - Part TwoNOTE: This episode contains a few Hindi words, phrases and sentences. When I first started dating online, I had set a red line for myself. I could date younger men. Just not more than a handful of years younger than me. At 45, that made it tough for me to cross the boundary to the early thirties. Till I finally did. I met someone... Men in their Thirties are just too easygoing, too much fun. They don’t take themselves as seriously as most men on the wrong side of forty seem to do. Soon I was learning how to na...2020-06-2209 min
The Truth About Nobody - A Podcast by Preeti SinghA Brave New World - Part OneNote: Mildly Explicit Content Like Marvel’s Captain America, it seems I had been frozen in a time capsule, only to emerge half a decade later (in my case) and realise the world had moved far ahead while I had been asleep. Upon this re-awakening, I would go on to discover a brave new world, venturing into an unfamiliar corner of the multi-verse. #OnlineDating. And here I am trying to be as honest as possible in sharing some of my impressions of the world that had existed long before I discovered it!!

Well, for example, incomplete words or the incorrect use of words, poor sentences and absurd abbreviations where they are not needed. Let me tell you about a few in the first of this two-part episode.
Well, how difficult is it to take a few extra seconds to make what you have to say a little less irritating and a wee bit more “effective”?

I often tell her that she is my heart, and that if she behaves badly my heart jumps in it’s cavity and hurts. She listens intently to that, says sorry to me and then goes on to be even naughtier than before. Secretly? I love it. She is also one of the most sensitive, empathetic human beings I know and love.

And this is my podcast “The Truth About Nobody”. It is partly my story. About surviving a life-threatening and rare autoimmune disorder that nearly killed me.
