Ep. 132 Are We Actually Dating to Find Love — or Just Staying Busy Being Single? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are we actually dating to find love — or are we just getting better at staying in the search? Fresh off the 5th Annual Single to Shaadi Signature Weekend in New York City , Radha reflects on what she saw firsthand: singles screening each other out within minutes, strong weekend chemistry that didn’t survive Monday morning, and people bouncing from event to event trying to maximize the number of matches instead of deepening one connection. Inspired by The Atlantic’s recent conversation around the
Ep. 131 From Biodata to Big Data: Can We Really Optimize Love? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before dating apps had algorithms, South Asian families had biodatas—and an auntie who knew everyone. But does knowing more about someone bring us closer to finding the right partner?

Inspired by the public conversation around Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussing egg freezing and reports about the end of her long-term relationship, this episode moves beyond gossip and into a deeply relatable dating question: what happens when starting over feels like it is competing against time? For South
Ep. 128 The August Theory Is Trending—But Your Calendar Isn't Your Matchmaker (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is the viral August Theory actually real... or are we just giving the calendar too much credit? TikTok says August is when exes come back, summer flings become serious, and situationships finally reach a breaking point before cuffing season. But as a professional South Asian matchmaker, I think the real story has much less to do with the month—and much more to do with human psychology. In this episode of S.A.L.E. (South Asian Love Experiment) , I unpack why people naturally reevaluate relationsh
