7 Strangers Happenstances Stories
Cosmopolitan India
|January - February 2025
What went down when Silvia Sachdev decided to go stranger-hunting for a week.
-
We’re back on the roads of Bengaluru, almost. This time to meet seven strangers over seven days. This ambivert girl was scared as hell. I’m the type of girl who never takes off her headphones at the airport, buries herself in a book during any commute, and hangs out with only her best friends at a party. So yes, talking to strangers is a big no-no-no-no. But it’s a new year, and I’m ready for a whole new round of crazy, embarrassing moments and mind-boggling learning, starting with a simple one—when you stop the music, and throw your phone and your shyness away, there’s a whole world out there waiting to be explored. There are a whole bunch of cool, fun, creepy (run fast asap!), idiotic people out there that you need to meet. Every person has their own story to tell, and that’s way, way, way more than an Instagram story.

'Femininity' Is Coming for Your Feminism
In the recording studio, Allie Beth Stuckey sits on a cream sofa, her blonde hair perfectly tousled. She leans into the microphone and speaks. She's chatty and fun, interspersing the serious with the silly and, at first glance, she's just like any other podcaster. In many ways, Stuckey's entire brand is built on being a regular 'girl's girl'. Her hair is impeccably blow-dried, she hates matcha, wears floral dresses, and throws in pop culture references like she's just another millennial on group chat. Her podcast is called Relatable and that's exactly what she wants to be to her listeners. But Stuckey isn't just here to chat. She's here to convert.
