Can you have Shalabh’s mom as a guest on the podcast? 😂😂😂

[@shalabhgarg-sm4hr]

I agree, except I don’t think Zarna can handle her despite all of Zarna’s big talk

[@Karikkreads]

Damn, you trying to create a war.

[@lucycay.k3123]

Yes shalabh mom in the show as guest 😅

[@neharai3010]

Yesss please

[@rutujapalkar4329]

Yesss

[@RA-vj1gs]

Veer is so adorable! He always waits for his turn

[@aesthetics31]

Zoya gets A in most of the episodes she speaks sense and balances out. She never favours anyone and always is humble and weighs both pros and cons of issues. Brij is authentic but mostly favours father. Veer is a cute boy who doesn’t even want to participate in big people talks yet he feels responsible as a family member and respects his Bhaiya and Didi ❤ Content relevance- yes ginger, lemon, fresh air, exercise and sleep help improve immune system to fight the disease. I agree most allopathy meds are symptom-based they help reduce the symptoms but don’t cure the disease mostly.

[@marymagdalene3004]

i think Zoya tries to be so American and goes out of her way to portray that image. Brij is much more practical and honest, IMO, in what he says.

[@uditraviraj8261]

You are just so biased or maybe I m just ignorant

[@kadambariprasad208]

I’m giving Zoya the A! She’s so articulate and knowledgeable. And for bringing up Vicks!! 😎

[@themachiavellian8961]

Imigrantes loveee some good vicks... im latino so i can confirm😅

[@user-rj8oj7bl2n]

Nope she's the typical oversmart brat

[@karishmagupta4962]

Father is really funny as he keeps bringing his mother😂😂😂

[@TimsySkinopedia]

Veer’s stoic honesty always cracks me up. Especially as it contrasts so much with all the others outspoken ones in his family hahahahha

[@karenmorris2239]

I look after my mother who is 102 this month all by myself. I only give her Ayurvedic things whenever necessary, no meds she is a wonderful health. For her age incredible not even incontinent. Of course she eats like a bird. We are also immigrants, so we have the benefit of information from the sages of Asia❤

[@paulinemuthena6545]

Vicks vapor rub is the greatest remedy for so many things.Cough, colds,stuffy nose and joint and muscle pains.Some people use it for other things.

[@nikhitavenkatesan968]

10000% A* for YOU, Zarna. Your expressions at the beginning when no one understood the 'Home Remedies' memo, and they were naming random things haha. 😂🥰

[@utkarshsharma3022]

"This podcast is not about my mother." then continues to make it all about his mom right until the end. I love seeing Zoya shouting out Zarna for the things she does. Zarna definitely gets an A for giving the most number of remedies.

[@cdmc965]

Oh yes Vicks ! Hot tea with honey. Humidifier. I love these podcasts! Thank you all so much.

[@mikemc7170]

I use these from my childhood of the 50's; Cure-all (Chicken soup), Sore Throat (Lemon & Honey), Upset stomach (ginger ale and/or stewed tomatoes), Congestion (Vicks)

[@paulafamularo5001]

Your brilliant son, with his fancy NYC education, used the word tooken, which isn’t a word!! Priceless!!

[@ranjinighosh7561]

its a child on a family call, people can have a slip of tongue relax and let people make mistakes ffs

Zoya get the A because she is literally the most sensible person in all your podcasts, every damn time!!

[@ritz2975]

Man i just love each character of this family 😅❤❤ much love to all of you for bringing out the real you. It's raw and fun. Keep going 💪

[@priyankasinghal1577]

I love the family dynamics and drama and the kids interactions.. reminds me of growing up years.

[@bly120]

Zarna, can I just say I’m so obsessed with your kids! Can you please hand over the manual on parenting 👏👏👏

[@paulafamularo5001]

You are literally asking for parenting advice from two ignorant morons??? BTW; being obsessed with minor strangers, is so incredibly inappropriate. How can you be obsessed with people you don’t know?? Parasocial much??

[@KatRM1511]

Veer gets an A. He thinks through his answers, seems very practical and reasonable, and he is so polite!

[@leandershah1617]

Since the past 4 days, there hasn’t been any major drama at home so I came here to watch this with my breakfast. Love it 😂

[@cgordon1955]

All this talking over each other is VERY DISCORDANT. It will make me want to vomit if I watch the whole thing - which I am NOT going to do now, I am turning it off midway and going to see something more calming than a dysfunctional family run by a totally overbearing mother. Ugh!

[@leandershah1617]

@@cgordon1955 Seems you aren't from this side of the pond, Asia in general. Most countries outside Asia and Saudi/Islam following countries (essentially, white countries/people, so to speak) think this is way too much but it is how our families run. Asian families, African families, they all run on this overbearing individual in the family that fixes, as well as ruins things on the daily. It's just how it is. We live real so we are ready for the real world (as much as we hate it, it is true).

[@karenmorris2239]

Good for Auntie Zarna such a good mom, checking on the children, that is what keeps everyone out of trouble and yes certain plants are even kept on the space station to clean and oxygenize the air. You are all as great as you are, it’s a credit to your parents❤❤

[@jeffshaw3595]

Veer is so chill. He's a poker player.

[@paulafamularo5001]

He’s a literal child, being forced to partake in adult conversation. He’s not chill, he’s confused.

[@salonigupta9678]

This is like a news channel in indian where they talk like at the same time and scenes are exactly like this 😂😂❤ really great going ❤️

[@Lucboe1162]

My mother had her own old world remedies that could’ve been dangerous. She gave us each a tsp of castoria every spring and every fall. Vicks rubs for colds and camomile teas with lots of sugar for fevers. She raised 9 of us and we’re all still alive. Rarely, did she use baby aspirin as my father did not believe in those kinds of things for kids.

[@MPGRAY84]

I feel like Zoya is my spirit animal!! I want to be her when I grow up! Even though she’s half my age!! I LOVE HOW REAL THIS FAMILY IS!! 😂😂

[@julest5767]

love Zoya's home remedy of fluffy socks and watching The Mindy Project! I'm a doctor and I love helping people get well and stay well. There is corruption in everything but most doctors really care for their patients!

[@abinashjena8406]

Shalabh so well put the humour into these conversations. Bringing her mom to annoy Zarina and ofcourse the one liners. Brij “Remove the T-shirt show them your aps”

[@praiseinourhearts]

A+ to you all!! Totally rocked it and thanks for the Home Remedy reminders ❤

[@SimzNic]

Vicks is a universal remedy for everything 😂

[@jsetennis9224]

I know about Vicks vapor rub since I was a kid, I am 58 years old and still use it 😊. By the way what a beautiful family, congratulations.

[@ashitamalkani3845]

Veer I agree with you - no one deserves an A grade - the concept of home remedies was totally missed 😂

[@harikrishnanm7]

Zoya saying that brij is not the only handsome guy wala talk happens in my house more often😂

[@davinder1068]

I love the new format of your show on split screens instead of in your living room. love the interaction between all of you. Shurub smiling more now, good job defending your mom. Can you do an episode with her in it all the way from India.

[@shalabhgarg-sm4hr]

I’ve been trying - Zarna is the bottleneck!!

[@GenesisAlfons]

Yep Dominican 🇩🇴 Here and absolutely VICKS for any time you are feeling sick!

[@hilairejoseph3345]

One thing that I do to get me ready for the cold weather is to pump my system ceith lots of vitamin C. Another is I cook lots of chicken soup through ou the season. Yes fresh plants are vital to maintain healthy oxygen levels through out the house especially closed up homes.. great episode love the kids interactions

[@anyamck2954]

All the way here in Scotland, mum and gran swear by: chesty cold = vicks & hot toddy [whisky,lemon,water,honey] tickly cough = sugar and vinegar Upset stomach = flat lemonade or irn bru Constipated = "eat" butter Hiccups = vinegar Overall diet = meat + 2veg Sleep = 2 hours before midnight more good than all the hours afterwards [ive not managed this] Mushrooms = nerve and brain health I agree with all your comments no to drugs,yes to fluffy socks and snuggled up under the duvet and jars of vicks everywhere. Love you all ❤

[@the1stmbbsteacher381]

Add 5 to 6 peppercorns, 2-3 cloves, 5-6 basil leaves, 1/4 tsp turmeric, sweet wood / licorice piece 1cm, to 2 cups of water and boil till one cup remains. Sieve it in a cup and add a few drops of lemon juice. For sweetness you may add a tsp of honey. Drink this warm drink two times a day. You can have it without sweetness also.

[@ishitasrivastava5909]

Such a chaos !! I love it.. LMAO

[@gloriveegardenjournal5371]

I’d love to hear what home remedies Shalabh’s mom uses! I bet it is better than anything you can buy over the counter. My grandmother used to keep a jar of herbs in a liquid called Florida Water. Whenever we had a fever she would wipe us down with that mixture, it was so refreshing and always broke the fever. My husband I make ginger/tumeric/lemon juice/ honey shots.

[@borabora324]

😂😂😂😂the dad pimping Brig’s out…the theme was “home remedies”!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@donnabrinegar4103]

Vicks does work. But, the best remedy is a Mom’s love

i love you guys so freaking much holy shit a simple topic still cracking me tf up

[@amyc4435]

And yes such an immigrant parent thing

[@princessresinista9080]

❤ I love vicks vapor rub for everything! I used some on my wrists just before watching this because I am pregnant and have pregnancy carpal tunnel and cant use medical creams due to the pregnancy. For colds I use it as wall as warm water with honey, lemon and ginger. I also think spicy soups help clear the passages and chili 🌶️ has a lot of vitamin c. If I feel well enough to make my own spicy soup, I will but if I am too sick I order pho 🍜 and add a lot of the jalapeño it comes with. All of you deserve an A grade. 😊

[@nicolabaloch1357]

Thanks for the episode. I am sick in bed with a cold and will use rub and ginger and lemon tea right away!

[@paulinemuthena6545]

Lime or Lemon with honey or sugar for a cold and sore throat. Also Vicks vapour rub for everything. Be it sore throat, coughing , muscle pain or joint pain , it is great.

[@sarathtech91]

A for Zarna for being Zarna and Bringing Zarna 100%. Can I also give an A for Shalabh's mom lol for giving so much content? Love these Episodes. You guys are so much fun :D

[@karenmorris2239]

Another thing I do is I peel ginger, slice it very very thin and put it in a jar of very light honey like acacia honey that’s grown in Europe like Hungary, As all the honey grown in America has glycosides unfortunately. I use this honey with the Ginger that really liquefies the honey, And it’s wonderful drizzled on fresh berries or any fruit, it’s also very good in tea and coffee do you wind up using it for many things it’s very helpful and also very delicious

[@reshmashah2212]

Love the convos. I'm a first gen in UK but older than your kids. When I was their age, my views were similar to theirs. As I've gotten older n wiser, I'm definitely more pro indian home remedies. I find US rely on meds way too much and think its the culture there. My bro lives in the US and we had a similar issue. He was told to start on med, I was advised to go down diet/exercise route.

[@moemoenyc]

"What do u mean, Pimp him out!?" - Shalab Lolololol

[@ishitasalooja4013]

There's a sugary soup/custard like thing that is made with sooji, so like a really thin consistency halwa that is also used to relieve throatache, my grandma calls it Seera, maybe that's what Shalabh's talking about

[@cynicalmisanthrope93]

Haldi-doodh and Tulsi kaadha ❤ most effective home remedies for a cold/cough/sore throat.

[@2beolivia]

My dear Zarna, I enjoy your podcast. You and your family are so entertaining, great content as always. My home remedy is lemon and manuka honey tea when I have a cold.

[@jenny-pz8yu]

On point with the citrus, soups, sweating and sleeping. Always helps.

[@harsimarsingh7625]

Vick's vaporub for the win😭😂

[@pathenry3846]

Vicks vapor rub is used for generations in the US. Many things like ginger tea, honey, lemon and whiskey are things used for sore throats and colds in US for generations as well.

[@ashitamalkani3845]

Yes Vicks, home made cough syrups, ginger tea etc - very comforting

[@karenmorris2239]

No no she’s right laughter cures a lot of things there was a very famous famous Director that was diagnosed with a terrible illness and he just took all kinds of fantastic comedy and closed himself in for a few months just laughing himself into complete health!! It heals every cell in our body when we laugh

[@amidave9888]

Vicks is as important as roti ka aata in an Indian household 😂

[@sonamdolkar5066]

Mama Zarna, someday soon you will be a mother in-law to your kid’s wife or son! So don’t look down too much towards your mom in -law 🥰 So treat her with love and respect 😊❤

[@anitavelieves]

Loved the episode and I always sign up ahead of time to get notified, as an Indian mom of 2 adult daughters, this is the usual scene at my place, the only difference is that I feel they take it personal and not so light as zoya does, my girls will always say that it’s about you mum and they start to feel bad, I feel it’s cultural when mums bring their version in a situation and how they handled; doesn’t mean that we believe we are better than our kids, it’s just our perspective from our personal experience. Anyways I give shalabh and Zoya A on this episode for #1 shalabh being funny about the expensive jacket and Zoya as usual always makes that face when someone is being silly. Love zoya

[@precilliasoekhai4537]

Let me just say, vicks,tiger balsam spices soup was(is) I was getting with alot of drama. I love it, don't get me wrong👌🏽🙋🏽‍♀️🤣😭

[@shobhanasharma5865]

My A is to Zarna. I love plants, warm kichdi, citrius fruit, hot water bag. I alsolove the shot you can make with Haldi, Adrak, and lemon. Drink it like a shot. Sometimes, watery dal with lots of pepper, adarak, haldi, laung, lasun, Pyaz, tamatar. (like a lentil soup). 🙂

[@jayvantias4512]

Zoya is wonderful as usual.

Really proud of Zoya for Voicing it out at 10:53.

[@karenmorris2239]

Veer, warm water with cloves, sliced ginger and honey. Gargle it will slightly anesthetize as well as antibacterialyze☺️❤

[@cathyrooney3220]

Hot tea with lemon and honey, Vicks, my grandpa soaked sliced potatoes in Vinegar and placed them on temples, wrists inside wear arm beads to draw out fever. Gargle with warm water with salt for soar throats, blow smoke in ear for ear aches, blue mouth wash for tooth ache. Cold cloth on forehead for fever run wrists under cold water.

[@user-jh1zj2bb8h]

My parents are not Immigrants but my grandparents are & my mom looooved home remedies! She was always using Vicks on us! For a cold it was a spoonful of honey an onion for an ear ache ect. 😂

[@susoommen]

These kids don't seem to have any idea what home remedies are.. possibly because they have not seen it being used in their home.. often enough..they could have expanded the topic to include home hacks as well😊

[@snehajg7340]

I agree with shalabh that he says his mom used to give sugary warm milk. I used to drink too, it is so good for cold and throat infection. The sugary thing is called palm sugar candy that's make it sweet and we add a pinch or two of black pepper as well.

[@loveleensandhawalia807]

Just watched this.... im late... 🤣 But Zoya gets an A... she is articulate and considers all sides of the discussion. And some home remedies Ive used were.... For a cold/cough/runny nose: boil a cup of water with lemon, white poppy seeds, and ginger...drink 1-2 times a day.... For a cough/cold: Besan waala milk at night

[@joete3324]

Home Remedy is the BEST!!! Bone Broth, chicken soup, ginger tuneric and lemon. Oh and Elderberry syrup.

[@user-bm9nd8hs4r]

My A to Vir for always waiting for his turn and never interrupting, in addition to providing great tips!

I am an immigrant from Europe and yes Vicks Vaporub was very much promoted, I remember the ads even after so many years.

[@ShamaGhei]

Zarna!! Love everything about your show. I will not grade anyone in particular, cause you all together make such a good team, so grade A to team Garg! Each one of you brings a different and interesting vibe to every episode. Being an immigrant Indian mom and a fitness buff myself, hope I get to walk with you one day!

[@blesskittens4484]

[@vickihare8077]

I grew up with Vicks. I'm in my 40s and the Midwest.

[@asht7899]

That sugar water is honey with warm water and little bit black pepper powder.

[@savitakirsh4359]

The sugary syrup for cold and sore throat was mady from sugar candy, cloves, whole cinnamon, black pepper pods. I had forgotten this but henceforth I will be making and drinking it. You have to take a couple of tablespoons every few hours.

[@suzanneclaiborne3265]

Sugary drink - maybe syrup ginger herbs- best medicine for colds
