  • 31. Giving powerful words to our unsaid thoughts with BattoKiBakwaas - Anamika Joshi

    For this episode of Inspiring Explorers, we have an inspiring explorer whose powerful and relatable words have touched the hearts of more than 50 million+ people.

    You know her mostly as Batto Ki Bakwaas, A master of spoken word Poetry, Anamika Joshi.

    Anamika Joshi's BattoKiBakwaas is a brand in itself today and she has been featured in many well known medias like Brut India, Femina, Mid-day, The logical Indian, The Better India, Scoopwhoop, Rajasthan Patrika, The New Indian Express, etc.

    and not just that, her videos have been cumulatively viewed over 1 billion times on the Internet. 

    Anamika Joshi is a Spoken Word performer and talks about various relatable unsaid aspects of life through her beautiful poems.

    Before being a spoken word performer, she has also been an entrepreneur with her share of ups and downs of entrepreneurial life and has had the opportunity to be associated with personalities like A R Rahman, Justin Bieber, Diljit Dosanjh, Nucleya, etc. 

    I got the privilege to meet her a week before we shot this episode. Other than her amazing observation skills and fine poetry, Her simplicity, and humbleness is what makes her so outstanding.

    This entire conversation felt like talking to a wise elder sister who had so much knowledge about the content creation world that I got to learn so much talking to her and I hope you'll learn a lot from this conversation too.

    Oh btw coincidentally, Anamika and my neighbors were both renovating their house while we were recording this episode, so there can be some background noises of carpentry, please ignore them and I hope you still enjoy this episode.

  • 30. Dream it, Aim it and be Unstoppable with Ballerina| Founder Elan Ballet - Ritika Chandra

    For this episode of Inspiring Explorers, we have an inspiring explorer whose determination to follow her dreams to be a ballerina was so strong, that she made it possible despite the fact that she was pursuing it in a country whose culture back in the days hadn't even heard of the term Ballet.

    Ritika Chandra is a New Delhi based professional Ballerina who has trained in the Vaganova method for the past 20 years but practicing and following Ballet in India was a huge challenge in itself as this Italian originated elegant dance form was unknown to India back in the days and is still in its very early stages in India.

    Ritika Chandra fell in love with Ballet when she was only 5 years old, and while it was difficult to not just find a ballet school in India but also proper equipment like ballet shoes and dresses important for training in Ballet, none of the challenges stopped her heart from pursuing ballet as a career in a country that hadn't much heard of such a word. Ritika Chandra then trained from teachers from all over the world namely India, Russia, Argentina, Mexico, Japan, USA, Dominican Republic, and France. Her dancing career included intensive training at prestigious schools such as the Kirov Academy of Dance, (Washington D.C.), Washington Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, Contemporary Dance Theatre, and Tevlin Ballet.

    She has also been part of several ballet performances in India on a professional level holding the position of the lead dancer.

    And is currently the founder of the Ballet school named Ellan Ballet

    making it possible for the young dreamers that love ballet to not face the same challenges that Ritika faced.

    Let's listen to Ritika Chandra's inspiring journey in this episode of Inspiring Explorers.
