When does having kids stop feeling like a never-ending responsibility and start feeling like real joy?

This episode we flipped the script and talked about the joy of raising kids — not just the chaos. Somewhere between the diapers, gag reflex disasters, and bedtime talks, we tried to figure out when parenting starts feeling less like a job and more like joy.

We get into:
• Kids who throw up from their own farts (yes, really)
• The sleep-deprived bootcamp phase no one prepares you for
• Seeing your kids’ personalities form — the sweet parts and the scary parts
• Pretend play, gratitude journals, and trying to stay present
• Balancing being the “fun parent” with actually setting boundaries

It’s honest, ridiculous, and very on-brand for three Desi dads trying to make sense of it all.

What happens when Desi dads hit their 40s and their bodies betray their biryani dreams? 🥲 From daal-chawal childhoods and Bundu Khan nostalgia to Costco-sized Tums and air-fried chicken wings, this episode of NaanSense! is all about how our eating habits have completely changed.

We get into:
🍛 Growing up on aloo gosht, daal chawal & DIY Desi home cooking
🔥 How spice tolerance, heartburn, and “getting wrecked” changed what we eat
🍣 Kids with expensive taste: sushi, pho, and saying no to leftovers
🥩 Fogo de Chão meat sweats, In-N-Out nostalgia, and why the “house always wins”
🥚 Becoming our dads: counting eggs, Costco runs, and food logistics math
🧼 Clean eating, halal-only, and how hard it is to find “trustworthy” restaurant food
🍗 The foods we think we could eat every day (tacos, wings, biryani… with consequences)
🐶 Plus a mini-rant on dog culture, parks, and trying to eat in peace with kids

Underneath all the jokes about Tums, triangle naan, and Instacart robots, there’s something real: how our health, values, and families quietly reshape what’s on our plates — and how much mental load it takes just to keep everyone fed.

It’s chaotic, honest, and way too relatable — Desi dad style.
