  • Life Can Only be Understood Backwards

    Most often than not, things make sense when we look back at life. "That had to happen for this to happen to me". We don't really understand the significance of a moment until it is already in the past.


    In this episode, the host, Harsh Patel, talks about how the power of hindsight can help unlock the potential of our future. We may not know if our current moment is happening for the good or the bad, but with the wisdom of our past experiences, we can navigate our experiences more easily.

  • The Illusion of Control

    Have you ever found yourself trying to keep everything under control so that nothing upsets you? We think that by doing things a certain way and creating rituals, the external world can become less daunting and come within our control. But nature has plenty of ways to show us that we are insignificant beings who barely have any control over the world.


    In this episode, the host, Harsh Patel, takes us through how we crave control to feel secure and how acceptance of the lack of control is the way to embrace peace.

  • We've Changed And We Don't Even Know It.

    When did you last stand in front of the mirror and notice how much you've changed? Yeah, we tend to point out our flaws so much that we become oblivious to all the positive changes and they take a back seat.


    In this episode, the host reassures us of the progress we've made since the last time we paid attention to the happy moments in life.

  • Who Are You Outside Your Job?

    This episode is a short take questioning the identity of the current generation of humans outside their job. Who are you beyond your career? Can you identify yourself as someone who has other skills to sell? Because in a world that is changing fast, it is vital for us not to get comfortable and settle into skills that only earn us money. There is a need to start looking for more things that you can look forward to in life.

  • Time Without Purpose Is A Prison

    This episode brings forth the idea that time spent without any purpose is time spent in prison. Idle time does not necessarily mean purposeless time, however too much idle time may be a hint of undirected purpose. Just like how prisoners do not have anything to look forward to until their sentence ends, we can become prisoners of our own times too.

    Each is standalone, so go ahead and listen to the one that suits your mood.

    More power and love to you all.
