  • BasTalk 23 - UnMusk Failure

    If you asked someone in 2019, what they thought about Elon Musk's SpaceX mission, they'd perhaps dismiss it off as a rich man's fancy.

    There were repeated failures along the way, yet he and his team persisted until it became a success. So, when we come across failures

    how do we react to them? Do we get caught up in self pity? Do we wallow in sorrow or do we get up quickly and fight back? Join me in this podcast 

    where I talk about the truth about failures and the ways and means to understand it better, so that you can deal with them.

  • BasTalk 27 - Who is Uma Devi

    Sounds a bit like who is John Galt isn't it?  But it isn't it.  In this ride, we talk about life imitating art and art imitating life at the core of it.

    Body shaming someone is not my definition of fun, neither is laughing at someone's challenges or disabilities.  Very recently, a celebrity couple 

    posted a picture of their definition of a funny face.  It was a face with squinted eyes and hanging tongues. 

    While it got a million likes and laughs, it hurt the sentiments of many people as well.  A simple joke for some, is a nightmare for others.

    WhatsApp forwards, retweets memes and the whole social media circus snowball insensitivity to the next level without realising 

    the damage they might cause to many people. We dive deep into the stereotypes prevalent in the Indian entertainment /movie industry and how 

    the woke generation needs to break the chain and set a new trend.
