  • The Paws Button

    Jut the other day while watching a potboiler blockbuster Bollywood flick I squirmed at  "Kuttey main tera khoon peejaunga" as the hero shouted at 

    the villain. It made me wonder - why are dogs associated with expletives in many Hindi movies? Why do we as a society have such a low tolerances 

    towards these wonderful pets? Is it conditioning, ignorance or plain indifference? I share thoughts on what is legally permissible and 

    what you ought to know emotionally, practically and financially before you bring home a pup - Join me in his experience if you are a dog lover and 

    if you are not as well!

  • Top 5 Life Lessons from Test Cricket

    If there was a Michelin Star Rating for Test Cricket, it would go to the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia.

That's how precious , how big a 3 star Michelin restaurant is. Much like this Test Match. And in this epic journey, you pick up valuable life lessons.

    Join me in this experience where I share the top 5 lessons learned from the epic Test Series. Like Red said, Get busy living or get busy dying - and Team  India, just got busy living , living to fight another day.

  • GBX 42 - Testing Matches Ind v Aus

    Once in a while you get a whack out of the blue. You reconcile  with it as an aberration. Then it happens again, and again, and you begin to realize 

    there is more to it than meets the eye. The freak show of 19th December will tattoo  36/9 in our minds for a long time.

    opportunity. Will this team take it? Will the new captain be able to grab it? When your team is doing well, it's easy to chime in, when they lose, an 

    outburst of emotions cloud the real reason. In this episode, I share 3 things Team India could do, to snap out of a state of stupor.

    Join me in this fascinating experience where I share the 3 things Jinks needs to do to break the jinx!

  • GBX 41 - CRIUSP 2 Pakistan

    Continuing on our journey...in this episode, we talk about our neighbours Pakistan.

    So what has changed in 2020 from the Pakistan of 2010?  How have they changed the India narrative? From defending India's accusations, now they

    are counter charging India with the same accusations!   On the other hand how has India of 2010 changed in 2020? 

    The world which once cherished India's soft power and growth potential, is now  talking about India and Pakistan problems in the same tone.

    A topic  which was  at best ignored if not forgotten , is now a mainstream debate and well into national consciousness.


    Did Pakistan pull off a better social media strategy than India? 

    Tune in to this fascinating topic on the Gyanban Experience.

  • GBX 40 - CRIUSP 1 China

    What does a regular person know  about  China, ,Russia, US and Pakistan & their impact on India?  It depends on how you define regular. Besides that, if you wanted a simple common sense take on the state of the situation around us, then tune in to the story.

    There are always 3 sides to the story. Your story, my story and the truth. And in this case we can only perhaps discus 2 of them. No prizes for guessing what the their one is – the only truth we know and are sure about, is the fact that the truth is unknown to us ordinary people. The truth is something we as ordinary people, simply don’t know.  We are in a need-to-know basis. 

    Join me in this simple but fascinating series, where we discuss ·

    • China: the politics and economy.
    • Pakistan: the neighbor we can’t ignore.
    • Russia: the old friend now somewhat cold
    • US: great friends now, but what’s the future?
    • India : what is India’s global strategy?
