#61 Love, Sex, but no Dhoka
from Boju Bajai · host Boju Bajai
Cuffing season is here and so is the new Boju Bajai episode. In this episode, we talk about dating apps or as we like to call them over at Boju Bajai- 'sutne' apps. The heydays of love letters are long gone and it's the time of swiping and matching, of 'hey you up's and 'wyd?'s. But what hasn't changed is our desire to connect and find companionship. This episode explores how these desires were expressed before the internet and how it is done today. And there might or might not be dramatic readings of real life love letters in this episode! We also hear from some of our listeners about their experiences - the good, the bad, and the weird. Thank you so much to everyone who sent us stories. This episode really wouldn't have been possible without them. This episode was reported by Nikita Tripathi. Nikita is a media producer based in Kathmandu and likes to walk. Irina Giri edited the episode.
