Hi. Welcome to episode 6 Part II. I’m your host Noel Woodward and this is 'For The Love Of'.

For The Love Of Tech | Creating, Learning and Sharing with Ratik Sharma

Ratik, has always been someone who loves technology. This love has materialized into various things over the years. As a kid, it was all about playing Pokemon crater or club penguin on the computer after a school. As a teenager, he was jailbreaking people’s iPod devices, teaching himself Photoshop on the internet and running a (moderately successful) tech blog and YouTube channel to teach people what he knew.

While the title does say tech, it takes an unconventional path as we talk about Ratik’s mantra of creating and sharing content all the while learning along the way. The episode focusses on his passion for podcasting, music, programming and all the tech that has inspired and influenced him along the way.

Part II of the episode takes the discussion forward as we explore the future of gaming when it comes to the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5.

If you haven’t heard Part I, I suggest you head back now and check that out first.

The episode airs This Saturday. So stay tuned!

For The Love Of Tech | Creating, Learning and Sharing with Ratik Sharma

Ratik, has always been someone who loves technology. This love has materialized into various things over the years. As a kid, it was all about playing Pokemon crater or club penguin on the computer after school. As a teenager, he was jailbreaking people’s iPod  devices, teaching himself Photoshop on the internet and running a (moderately successful) tech blog and YouTube channel to teach people what he knew.

While doing all these things out of interest and a pursuit of joy, he unknowingly picked up on design, programming and web development skills along the way. Ratik never really consciously planned on learning any of these, they were just a way for him to create something. Little did he know that he’d be using these very skills to build a career in the future!

The idea of making things and publishing them is very dear to Ratik. While he is officially a software engineer now, he still considers himself a “maker” at heart. Software is just one tool he has in his arsenal and he still makes all kinds of things in his free time – be it random coffee related clips, music covers and experiments, or even a podcast which he worked on last year.

I had a blast recording this one!

Hi. Welcome to the Fifth Episode. I’m your host Noel Woodward and this is ‘For The Love Of’.

This episode right here is a conversation with a friend of mine from Architecture School. He joins us today to discuss cities and the many narratives within.

Tarun Bhasin is an alumnus of School of Planning and Architecture Bhopal. He is currently pursuing an M.Sc. in Building and Urban Design in Development from the Bartlett Development Planning Unit, UCL.

So this is Part II of the episode. In the previous part we spoke about Tarun’s journey from architecture school, his love for storytelling and an overview of two cities citing some of his work. As we move forward, we’ll explore Tarun’s passion for long form writing and expressing his thoughts on cities by talking about films that are intrinsically linked to geographical spaces and locations, as well as the idea behind his dissertation.

Hi. Welcome to the fifth episode. I’m your host Noel Woodward and this is ‘For The Love Of.’

For The Love of Urbanism | Reading Cities & Their Stories with Tarun Bhasin

This episode right here is a conversation with a friend of mine from Architecture School. He joins us to discuss cities and the many narratives within.

Hi. Welcome to the Fifth Episode. I’m your host Noel Woodward and this is ‘For The Love Of’.

This episode right here is a conversation with a friend of mine from Architecture School. He joins us today to discuss cities and the many narratives within.

Tarun Bhasin is an alumnus of School of Planning and Architecture Bhopal. He is currently pursuing an M.Sc. in Building and Urban Design in Development from the Bartlett Development Planning Unit, UCL.

He is passionate about understanding the role of architecture in the public domain of the Global South, primarily India. Therefore, his vocation and observations extend beyond architecture as a design and construction based discipline to a vocation that borderlines other vocations that are not defined by independent logic such as economics, sociology, philosophy, literature etc. His observations and style stem from him being a writer, who has approached architecture, with words rather than graphics.

Tarun has participated and received recognition in a few national and international competitions. He is currently working on his dissertation that is about understanding India's rural-to-urban migration to suggest participatory co-production planning strategies and consequent policy frameworks to alleviate their conditions.

He is simultaneously working on operationalising his blog 'YodaGoesSkinnyDipping', and also working on concretising some startup ideas to put into action post masters.

He considers himself a hobbyist, and his objectives stem from a desire to explore general knowledge, and being entertained while doing so, rather than competitive ambition.

So stay tuned as I connect with an old friend and discuss his journey over the past couple of years and the stories that help define cities and its people. All this through his brush with architecture, design, his love for long form writing and an insatiable desire to know more.

For The Love of Adaptations | Normal People by Sally Rooney

For this episode we dive deep into the wondrous, messy, complicated and oh so relatable world of 'Normal People'.

From Connell & Marianne’s love affair to the impeccable casting decisions and from the magical filming locations to the inspired musical score. There’s going to be a bit of everything. And yes we will be bringing up Connell’s chain that’s gone viral as well! What in the world was that about?

So tune in as we dissect the show, the book and what’s next for the characters as we continue our conversation with Sampada & Swayam.

If you haven’t heard Chapter 01, I suggest you head on over and listen to that first.

So sit tight as we head back to the world of 'Normal People'.

Hi. Welcome to Episode 02 Chapter 03 . I’m your host Noel Woodward and this is ‘For The Love Of’.

The Second Episode has been split into three parts. If you haven’t heard For the Love of Potter | Chapters 01 & 02, I suggest you head on over to the Chapters before this.

Potter has always been my go-to refuge whenever I’ve felt low as well as when I’ve been extremely happy! Don’t know if that makes sense but I always feel at home whenever I read the source material or watch the films. Harry Potter took the world by storm when it was released and encouraged millions of kids to read and dive headfirst into the magical world of the boy wizard.

We continue our session with The Someday Lists – to know more about him and his work tune in to the Chapters before this or click the link shared as part of the show notes.
