Fireflies
by Anushree Das
Thoughts that glow after the light fades. Fireflies is a little corner for late–night reflections, soft thoughts, stories, and learnings that come alive when the world is quiet. It’s like those unhurried moments after the day is done, when ideas flicker gently and remind us we’re not alone in what we feel. Each episode is just a small light for the darker hours, a space to pause, breathe, and listen.

A Pocket Full of Fireflies
Some memories don’t serve a purpose. They don’t move your story forward or lead you anywhere. And yet, they stay. In this episode, I talk about a dream in Scotland, an imagined life in Italy, and the quiet, strange things I return to when life feels heavy. They don’t fix anything, but they make it a little easier to breathe. And sometimes, that is enough to keep you going, to show up again, to do the things life asks of you.We live in a world that wants everything to mean something, to become something, to lead somewhere. But not everything needs a goal. I call these small, personal moments fireflies. They exist just for you. This episode is about holding on to them and honouring them. Because sometimes, the smallest lights are what help you do the biggest things.Send us Fan Mail

Patterns, Planets & Possibilities
Some evenings carry a quiet current, as if they were always going somewhere, and you were simply the last to know.In this episode, I walk you through a real night: a concert, a saree, and a stubborn resistance to going at all, that slowly unravelled into an unexpected encounter with a stranger on a Mumbai highway. What seemed like coincidence began, in hindsight, to feel almost inevitable.Why do we reach for astrology in moments like these? Is it the hunger for answers, or the deep comfort of believing that something, somewhere, is moving in our favour?Planets? Patterns? Or just hope, doing its quiet, persistent work. Send us Fan Mail

Art and Artificial Intelligence
In this episode I explore the uneasy intersection of art and artificial intelligence. From the cute Ghibli trend to the unsettling ways AI alters bodies, ethics and meaning, this is a reflection on how machines are beginning to shape human creativity. What happens when our personal memories, our images, our voices and our artistic fingerprints become raw material for a machine? AI is not just disrupting art, it is quietly colonising human expression by training us to depend on machines for our own creativity. Is AI expanding our imagination or slowly replacing our capacity to express? And if art has always been resistance, what happens when we hand the act of creation to algorithms? Send us Fan Mail

The Algorithm of Human Conscience
Walk with me as we explore how human conscience works like a personal algorithm, unique to each of us, shaped by the stories we absorb and the experiences we carry. In this episode, I dive into how narratives build the foundation of our ethics and morality, and how the power of storytelling is constantly used to influence what we believe to be real.
