Would love for Kautuk and Neville/Aadar to do a limited episode podcast on different genres of books. You can take any genre, talk about it in general, the authors, the books. I mean, the way Kautuk carried this episode - he needs to give us a spin-off 👏🏽
I'm so fucking happy to see Brandon Sanderson being mentioned in the podcast! He's the Big Daddy of modern fantasy! Mistborn Trilogy and Stormlight Archive are going to be classics in the future
@@VarunThakurOfficial I’m in the same boat but it’s weird seeing you so quiet, it was like you were the moderator of the podcast😂 Thanks for replying made my day♥️
Also question, Does reading textbooks and genuinely enjoying and understanding concept of newtonian physics count as reading ? Because that was fun for me. There was some kind of joy in knowing how the things work around you.

I’ve been waiting for this one! I don’t usually comment but I’ll write my thoughts throughout - my first book was Matilda - Harry Potter is truely a book that defines a generation - idk how varun can watch GOT again after the disaster that was the ending - Brandon Sanderson is the defining voice of modern fantasy - Neil Gaiman is an absolute genius, even writing for tv shows he’s someone who’s very distinctive in his writing - prachett has the best sense of humour - self help as a psychology student makes me want to poke a needle in my eye because mostly it works through placebo effect, they put a bandaid on an open wound rather can taking down the scaffold and rebuilding - what Neville said about books was so poignant - no but the bit about Da Vinci and Newton make me lose it cause woh log ke pas Netflix or prime nai tha to obviously they’d just try to learn as much as they can - goosebumps was one of my favourite series to read as a child. The choose your own adventure books are made it so much more interactive - interested in Cain’s jawbone I’m going to add it to my tbr - Christine is what Tarzan the wonder wanted to be - I remember reading the shining when I was 14 and it was traumatic. It’s really disturbing - as a bts army, who used to be a potterhead, I’d like to say that serious potterhead have no overlap with Armys. - YA post twilight is same wine in different bottles - I used solely read historical fiction when doing my history extensions some gems are- all the light we cannot see, the book thief and Maus. One funny book I’d suggest to everyone is the messenger by Markus Zusak, that book truly changed the way I saw life
I seldom comment on podcasts, but this podcast is one of my favorites. The books that you guys mentioned shows so much research, specially bawa. I mean no one mentions books like, "Maybe you should talk to someone", "Anxious People", "Humans", etc. I made notes while listening to the podcast, and that is something. Thank you this made my day
I used to be one of those kids who would never been seen without a book. I would binge 400+ pages a day with a sippy water bottle (to stayed hydrated lol) Lost that along the way around my teens and now in my 20s started searching for it again. This made me realise how much more I have to explore and how much is miss that magic. So so so much to read. ❤️ Thanks boys!

In historical fiction ,Neville u should read "the four winds" by Kristin Hannah,she is a fabulous historical fiction writer. "The ddaevabad trilogy" by S A Chakraborty is also a fantastic series in the fantasy genre. Also thanks guys for great recommendations
A small talk with my self before starting this episode: Calm down! You don't read books its not a problem. Varun hai na he will keep explaining with his Basically. You didn't know about Dinosours. But he basically explained " basically uske muh main Rampuri hai". Bhai sambhal lenge.
Dharma forest is amazing😍 also read Ira Mukhoty 's songs of Draupadi and also Chitra Banerjee's The palace of illusions, these are fine takes on Mahabharta and I find a semblance with Sidhi on this 😍
A podcast on the Mahabharata please ..also a mention of Bukowsky, Dostoyevsky, Khushwant Singh, Salman Rushdie was missed. Bookwise, in the horror genre, The Omen is my fav. Great stuff you folks put out ..planning on buying my next reads now
What aadar mentioned ~10 min of dc comics morpheus is "Sandman" audiobook by Neil geiman(of good omens, american gods, coraline fame) , one of the best audio books soon to be a Netflix show.
I had "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern" in M.A (Calcutta University). Btw, it's called 'intertextuality', Kautuk.😐 The novel about 'cooking babies' by Swift is "An Indecent Proposal". Also, finally no mention of Bhai.😌
Why do I never find friends like you guys in real life 😭😭😭😭 I don't have one friend who reads as much I do and I cannot discuss it with anyone. The only person who listens to me is my husband and he just has to. 😪
I remember there was a huge hype around Fifty Shades, and naturally I read it. Something about Christian Gray's behaviour reminded me of Edward Cullen, just very uncannily. Turns out E. L. James began writing the book as a Twilight fanfiction. Weirdest book fact I have.
Awesome video, guys. For some curious reason, a discussion on reading is by default about English books. There’s a staggering volume of literature in Indian languages - and that’s an understatement. Including different variations on the Mahabharat. Allen Ginsberg, a friend of Jack Kerouac and part of the Beats gen poets/ writers, came to Calcutta, traveled with Bauls, translated their work and even performed. Jack Kerouac advised Sunil Gangopadhyay, a Bengali literary giant, on how to go about writing a novel. The cross-pollination between Indian and western literature is just too cool. Only, somehow non-English Indian literature is treated with disdain out here in India.
Varun was bang on about The Alchemist. I too couldn't continue after 72 pages. And I try to finish a book once started regardless how long it takes or captivating/ boring it is.
About Alice in Wonderland, there's a neurological disorder called the Alice in Wonderland syndrome, that causes a distortion of perception. Some believe that Lewis Carol himself had it and that inspired his book.
In Pride and Prejudice Darcy changes for the woman he loves and actually became a less toxic and emotionally available person. Reason why so many women appreciate him as a character 😁
I have shift tomm and listening to your podcast. Tht tells u how much i enjoy listening to u guys. I luv the fact tht all r so diff yet u guys gel so well. Its like we r part of the discussion. Especially luved the ghost stories w sumukhi, conspiracy theories and now books. I listen to guys while im workin on shift also.
1. Lord of the rings has not aged well with times. Being an easterner and Indian, I could not help feeling offended by the constant and repetitive references to European features being equated to "features of good" like being "fair, golden hair, tall" and direct references to "eastern men of Harad" being evil. It sounds exactly like a world war 2 propaganda against the eastern Japanese. 2. Very disappointing that all indian literature was skipped from the discussion- r k Narayan, satyajit ray, jhumpa lahiri, v s naipual, Ruskin bond to name a few. And have you only read marvel comics? No raj comics, diamond comics, indrajal, etc
"TISS - The Episodes" Transcripts - NY Times Reviews: 'About half way into the book they just kept saying "Awaan nahi aa rahi hai" for some reason. The rest of the book was just based on Hamlet.'
was going the path of self realization and illusion disenchantment, so decide to come back to the TISS boys for bhankas, only to question my meaning of existence yet again. Some philosophical loop this is!
'Books ke baarein mein facts batayenge...because....books hai itne saalon se'... Its 10.15am in Toronto and I have meeting in 10 minutes ..and I am laughing hysterically!!!!
Interesting to know what Kautuk said that the reader also goes through a phase of liking non- fiction first and then fiction. I have been reading only non-fiction for last 15 years. Waiting to see when I start liking fiction.
When I was writing/conceptualizing a story based in an alternate history, at some points I started believing subconsciously that it is the true history. I had to remind myself that it is just my creation, not real.

Thankyou for Sharing!!
Neville so old he edited the final draft of the Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita and bible
He is not old, he is ancient.
😂😂
Neville Co wrote the first draft and then edited it
Neville is so clumsy he created powerpuff girls
Neville has basically adopted Kautuk
That's really sweet...
Papa Neville as I refer to him

I'm so fucking happy to see Brandon Sanderson being mentioned in the podcast! He's the Big Daddy of modern fantasy! Mistborn Trilogy and Stormlight Archive are going to be classics in the future
He also teaches stuff for free on his channel
@@tejasbavkar2811 Yes! and they are such informative and entertaining lectures. He's such a wholesome guy.
The only fantasy writer who is consistent with his series. Only if Rothfuss would learn and release Doors of stone
@@Indiandrumproject he will never
I love Sanderson's books, but the big daddy is Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time (Brandon co-wrote a book in the series too)
I would so watch a short-run comedy series based on Neville's and Kautuk's relationship - friends and colleagues who are also renter-landlord.
I related a lot with Varun in this episode. I don't know shit about books and I'm blank.
Yet I watched the full episode. :)
But he does gives a shit cause he has read many books
Me: hasn’t read a book in his life

2 years I've waited for this episode and it's finally here... 🔥😍
Worth the wait,Love you Bois ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been waiting for this one! I don’t usually comment but I’ll write my thoughts throughout
- my first book was Matilda
- Harry Potter is truely a book that defines a generation
- idk how varun can watch GOT again after the disaster that was the ending
- Brandon Sanderson is the defining voice of modern fantasy
- Neil Gaiman is an absolute genius, even writing for tv shows he’s someone who’s very distinctive in his writing
- prachett has the best sense of humour
- self help as a psychology student makes me want to poke a needle in my eye because mostly it works through placebo effect, they put a bandaid on an open wound rather can taking down the scaffold and rebuilding
- what Neville said about books was so poignant
- no but the bit about Da Vinci and Newton make me lose it cause woh log ke pas Netflix or prime nai tha to obviously they’d just try to learn as much as they can
- goosebumps was one of my favourite series to read as a child. The choose your own adventure books are made it so much more interactive
- interested in Cain’s jawbone I’m going to add it to my tbr
- Christine is what Tarzan the wonder wanted to be
- I remember reading the shining when I was 14 and it was traumatic. It’s really disturbing
- as a bts army, who used to be a potterhead, I’d like to say that serious potterhead have no overlap with Armys.
- YA post twilight is same wine in different bottles
- I used solely read historical fiction when doing my history extensions some gems are- all the light we cannot see, the book thief and Maus.
One funny book I’d suggest to everyone is the messenger by Markus Zusak, that book truly changed the way I saw life

The amount of engagement this podcast/episode had! Oh my gosh! One of the best episodes ever.
This episode is basically Bawa and Kautuk talks about books meanwhile Adar and Varun listening to it.
Kautuk is Neville's casual child
😂
One day Bawa will make a short film named " Hamara Ghar Kautuk Ke Paas Hai"
What are the other types of children?
Topic suggestions for future
1. Secret societies ( Conspiracy )
2. Human evolution
3. Sneaker generation
4. drama movie adaptations ( true stories )
5. Mysteries of the ocean
Kautuk in this episode was on a different level... No nimbu pani..no jowar puff.. just his pure love for books...
‘Bibliosmia’. Thank you, Varun, for introducing us to this term.
My favourite books this year would be:
1) The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
2) Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
3) Song of Achilles by Madelline Miller
4) The Gulag Archipelago (abridged) by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
5)Cinnamon Gardens by Shyam Selvadurai
Thanks :)
10:00 aadar's struggle of getting noticed😃🤣
lol He just gave up after a point
Ohhh I am laughing so hard
I have heard this podcast at least 5 times like all other ones but noticed it the first time.
The irony is that the podcast about Books is being uploaded on Varun's channel!!
In historical fiction ,Neville u should read "the four winds" by Kristin Hannah,she is a fabulous historical fiction writer. "The ddaevabad trilogy" by S A Chakraborty is also a fantastic series in the fantasy genre. Also thanks guys for great recommendations
Man I cannot believe they've done 99 episodes 🤯
And I've probably seen most episodes thrice

A small talk with my self before starting this episode:
Calm down! You don't read books its not a problem. Varun hai na he will keep explaining with his Basically.
You didn't know about Dinosours. But he basically explained " basically uske muh main Rampuri hai". Bhai sambhal lenge.

this is the best comment i have read here
Would love a part 2 on this topic in future.
Dharma forest is amazing😍 also read Ira Mukhoty 's songs of Draupadi and also Chitra Banerjee's The palace of illusions, these are fine takes on Mahabharta and I find a semblance with Sidhi on this 😍
The palace of illusions is gold
Yess Girll!! Agreed!
Try Immortal Talks
Try Kavitha Kane's books as well!
For all the fans of Sports Fiction. You must read Beartown by Fredrick Bachman. It's based on Ice hockey and its such a Goose pimple raising read.
Also Backman's writing is 👌
In podcasts like these you realize how good an actor varun is
Hahah guilty :|
Phir bhi struggler
The amount of time I have had to pause the podcast to jot down names of authors and books is insane!!
Also super excited for The Internet Said 100!!
Star of the show: Varun's Kindle
Me watching this podcast after watching all the videos of anuya's botcast... I know everything.
I swoon every time Bawa talks about books.

A podcast on the Mahabharata please ..also a mention of Bukowsky, Dostoyevsky, Khushwant Singh, Salman Rushdie was missed. Bookwise, in the horror genre, The Omen is my fav. Great stuff you folks put out ..planning on buying my next reads now
What aadar mentioned ~10 min of dc comics morpheus is "Sandman" audiobook by Neil geiman(of good omens, american gods, coraline fame) , one of the best audio books soon to be a Netflix show.
I think this is the first time “Bhai” was not mentioned in the podcast.. #bhaiandbooks
Some things just aren't meant to be
I had "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern" in M.A (Calcutta University). Btw, it's called 'intertextuality', Kautuk.😐
The novel about 'cooking babies' by Swift is "An Indecent Proposal".
Also, finally no mention of Bhai.😌
You think bhai reads? Hell no. Look at his script reading skills lol
Doesn't have dinosaurs either.
But here we are.😐
My favorite TISS so far! Mentioning all the classics! 🙌🏽
Why do I never find friends like you guys in real life 😭😭😭😭 I don't have one friend who reads as much I do and I cannot discuss it with anyone. The only person who listens to me is my husband and he just has to. 😪

Jack Kerouac advised Sunil Gangopadhyay, a Bengali literary giant, on how to go about writing a novel. The cross-pollination between Indian and western literature is just too cool. Only, somehow non-English Indian literature is treated with disdain out here in India.
This was literally a two hour treat for any book lover out there!!! Amazing you guys 😇😇
Watched all of Brandon Sanderson's lectures at BYU on RUclips. Brilliant guy!
when nevil said I'm not a fan of GOT.. i was like.. me too🙋
Final season 😖😵😖
Varun was bang on about The Alchemist. I too couldn't continue after 72 pages. And I try to finish a book once started regardless how long it takes or captivating/ boring it is.
Alchemist true bro...Har ghar me mil jaayegi
About Alice in Wonderland, there's a neurological disorder called the Alice in Wonderland syndrome, that causes a distortion of perception. Some believe that Lewis Carol himself had it and that inspired his book.
I just caught it...when Bawa started talking about Noam Chomsky, and Bhautuk says noami kapadia... hilarious 🤣🤣
Varun's my favourite :) He's the sweetest person 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Why thank you :)
All books of Dan Brown were a revelation for me during my school days and they still feel like a great read ....
Please do part 2 of this episode with Rohan Joshi.
I know it's a really old joke but I was kinda hoping someone would say that the epic of Gilgamesh was Bawa's Champak or something like that
😂
I just realised that this video actually has links in the description.
The only good thing about ikigai is that the book cover is soothing to the eyes
In Pride and Prejudice Darcy changes for the woman he loves and actually became a less toxic and emotionally available person. Reason why so many women appreciate him as a character 😁
I am dissapointed there was no mention of Bhai, or Chetan Bhagat who is the Bhai of authors in this episode.
One of the best episodes, watched this for the 3rd time and realised what a Gem this is
I have shift tomm and listening to your podcast. Tht tells u how much i enjoy listening to u guys. I luv the fact tht all r so diff yet u guys gel so well. Its like we r part of the discussion. Especially luved the ghost stories w sumukhi, conspiracy theories and now books. I listen to guys while im workin on shift also.
Hi Varun , at 25:20 u mentioned a book which Nikita read that helped her a lot. Could u find out the name for the book. Thanks in advance !!
Varun, Write the name of the book
Like books, this episode feels like a warm hug. ♡
1. Lord of the rings has not aged well with times. Being an easterner and Indian, I could not help feeling offended by the constant and repetitive references to European features being equated to "features of good" like being "fair, golden hair, tall" and direct references to "eastern men of Harad" being evil. It sounds exactly like a world war 2 propaganda against the eastern Japanese.
2. Very disappointing that all indian literature was skipped from the discussion- r k Narayan, satyajit ray, jhumpa lahiri, v s naipual, Ruskin bond to name a few. And have you only read marvel comics? No raj comics, diamond comics, indrajal, etc
This needs a part two!!!
Yessssss
LOLLLL aadhaars silent gag when talking about GOT is too good
Guess the episode was postponed because Varun's Kindle was not working yesterday 😂😂
OMG thanks for mentioning Anxious People. One of my favorite books of 2020/21
BOOK PODCAST pehle se BOOKED tha
Aadar showing off his GOT tshirt is mood!
"TISS - The Episodes" Transcripts -
NY Times Reviews: 'About half way into the book they just kept saying "Awaan nahi aa rahi hai" for some reason. The rest of the book was just based on Hamlet.'
This is such a calming podcast so far. Every minute it gets even more interesting. ❤️❤️
was going the path of self realization and illusion disenchantment, so decide to come back to the TISS boys for bhankas, only to question my meaning of existence yet again.
Some philosophical loop this is!
Aa gaya. Dekho wo aa gaya... *random book noises*
Finally, BOOKS!!
Aap sab se prarthana hai ki aap ek kitaab "Operation Blazing Snow" padhein. Jald se jald. #PromotionsHaveStarted
For Kautuk
Mahabharata Unravelled: Lesser-Known Facets of a Well-Known History
2021
Book by Ami Ganatra
I don't even read books but loved the podcast 😂
Let’s all wear black and also tell Varun this time 😅 (if you know, you know)
And if you don't know
Not my problem 😗
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is the most stomach churning book I have read. Totally recommend it to anyone who is in for a rough but enjoyable ride.
Aadar is a show of his own
'Books ke baarein mein facts batayenge...because....books hai itne saalon se'...
Its 10.15am in Toronto and I have meeting in 10 minutes ..and I am laughing hysterically!!!!
I hated The Alchemist and never revealed my dislike to anyone because apparantly everyone loved it.
Same.
I didn't hated it, but also didn't find it any special as everyone says. But my sister just loved it, don't know why.
Interesting to know what Kautuk said that the reader also goes through a phase of liking non- fiction first and then fiction. I have been reading only non-fiction for last 15 years. Waiting to see when I start liking fiction.
When I was writing/conceptualizing a story based in an alternate history, at some points I started believing subconsciously that it is the true history. I had to remind myself that it is just my creation, not real.
