Krishna took it as an opportunity to kick back and grill Bala about “How to increase your financial IQ” - Income sources, protecting your money, budgeting, leveraging and using financial information seem to be the best points out of the book.

      • Books n Stuff Podcast: S1E02 - Learning to learn

        Welcome to the Books and Stuff Podcast Series.

        What strategy did you use while studying or learning a course at school/college? Mine was simple: read, then read one more time, and then wake up in the morning and read again.

        Magically, just after the exams, all the learning vanished from my head. All these years, I wondered about why that happened. Let’s find out from our learned friend, Krishna.

      • Books And Stuff Podcast: S1E01 - Deep Work
        Introduction

        Welcome to the Books and Stuff Podcast Series.

        Krishna likes to read books, but Bala doesn't.

        Bala likes to write, but Krishna doesn't.

        They both love to talk!

        So, Bala and Krishna decided to talk about what Krishna reads.

        And thus the idea of recording their chatter was born.

        The two friends will discuss books they love.

        This series of podcasts is for busy people. People who'd love to learn about a book without having to read one. And maybe the podcast will inspire them to get their hands on a book that interests them.
