Living in South Bombay must sometimes feel like living in a different universe to some young people. They don't need to cross the geographical border at Lower Parel for any reason, because their world is ensconced within the parameters of their gated societies, private clubs and educational institutions. And they are happy living that sheltered existence. It's the only way of being that they have really known. But that's precisely what puts them at risk of being a frog in a well, or so says Natasha Malpani Oswal in her recently launched podcast, called Boundless.

In it, Oswal — who was that very SoBo person for the first 20 years of her life — talks about how her worldview changed after she shifted countries for higher studies, spreading her wings and learning to fly. She ended up spending 10 years in the UK and the US, returning to India only in 2018. And once she did, she started penning down her thoughts in the form of short poems since Oswal, whose day job is with a digital entertainment company, felt that it would help her re-adjust to life in the country. Those poems were later turned into a book, which is the basis for the podcast the 31-year-old started in October.

The episodes are pages in a personal diary, in effect. Oswal lays bare a wide gamut of human emotions she felt after she flew her SoBo nest.
