Mahitha has made it clear: Vishnu is not reaching moksha without her. Between seven lives of marriage, coming back as a chicken or a shrimp, and snoring through an entire Art of Living meditation class, his odds aren't great. Plus: Meta glasses so she can track him, the "rogue AI husband" who started thinking for himself, stolen "Diwali edition" bags, and 17 six-year-olds at one birthday party.
Episode 19 of Fly & Butterfly — Vishnu Vaka and Mahitha on marriage, moksha, surveillance, and the dangers of a husband who starts thinking for himself.
Hindus say you're married for seven lives, so what happens if one of you reaches moksha first? Mahitha isn't taking that chance. We get into who comes back as a cow, a chicken or a shrimp, the story of Valmiki, and why Vishnu will never reach moksha anyway (the Art of Living class is still recovering from his snoring). Plus Meta glasses so Mahitha can see exactly where Vishnu is looking, and his "Of course I talk to myself" T-shirt as Exhibit A that he's become a rogue AI husband.
