Different Strokes

I talk to a radio oncologist who highlights the neglect in other critical patient care because of the pandemic. 

In this Podshot, I speak to Dr. Disha, who is working at the frontline to combat the Covid Crisis. 

The post covid world is going to have some permanent ramifications. What we're enduring collectively and individually could take a long time to heal. We may never forget but we could just learn to live with it. In this episode, I talk to a clinical psychologist about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how best to cope with it.

In this episode of Different Strokes, we uncover the soul stirring journeys of two sisters who fought illnesses, stigmas, mental and emotional upheaval and yet, have stood stronger together.

In a very interesting conversation with Ramgopal Vallath (RamG Vallath), he talks about his life's journey from ouch to oops; from braving a crippling disease to becoming an accomplished author and TED speaker by chance. Tune in! 

I've known her since college. She was this chatty, vibrant and full of life person. But a near fatal accident just 2 months into her marriage changed her life forever. She didn't look the same. But she defied the conventional standards of beauty and continues to march on with her head held high, raising her two beautiful baby girls. Tune in!

This episode was not only the toughest to record, but also the most important. Almost every girl has been a victim to some kind of abuse/assault of sexual nature, which has scarred her for life.  It takes immense courage to talk about your ordeal on a public platform and reopen old wounds, one more time. But only in this hope that we as a society, can do a better job at keeping our children safe. 

For 30 years, she's lived her life as an able-bodied person. But a sudden turn of events left her in a wheelchair. But that has in no way, discouraged her to live as a free spirit! You don't want miss this one.  

If I were to describe this woman in one word, i'd say 'Un-patient like' because she makes sure even cancer isn't able to batter her undying spirit. She's beaten the big C once and she's on a journey to beat it one more time, and hopefully for good! 

At 24, most of us are hustling to land a cushy corporate job. But this young woman decided to take on a rather challenging journey of fighting the patriarchal establishments to heal and transform the lives of sexually abused adolescent girls. This story goes onto prove what little courage and self-belief can do to bring about the change we wish to see.
