India winning (and not taking) the Asia Cup


The eternal struggle between work deadlines & Diwali lights


How to handle a ₹500 Diwali gift for your boss


That one uncle who treats the local train like his private mandir


And finding love (or losing it) between train stations

If you’ve ever been stuck in Mumbai traffic, survived office parties, or wanted to sell vada pavs instead of working — this one’s for you

Shamik Chakrabarti returns to Cyrus Says after performing across Europe and Australia, with stories about international comedy audiences, Melbourne’s little penguins and life on tour.

Cyrus and Shamik then move through a suitably unpredictable collection of stories: AI replacing workers and potentially CEOs, Bengal and Durga Puja, Navratri memories, Indian politics, population numbers, restaurant inspections, Liverpool fandom, unusual international competitions and Cyrus’ story about working with Preity Zinta.

Shamik also plugs his upcoming India tour before Cyrus ends the episode by turning the interview into an interrogation about his dating life.

It’s travel, current affairs, football, technology and complete studio chaos, in other words, another episode of Cock and Bull.
