Mind The Baat

I often describe eras of my life as the aura of an animal and recently I have been feeling like a sloth. That's a rough thing to accept when I felt like a piranha the majority of the year, especially interning in DC, fighting obstacles and seeking opportunities. I describe how I feel like my slump is most likely due to things coming easy this year, resulting in a lack of hard work and making the reward less rewarding and not even worth trying. I recount on my piranha mindset and create a game plan that looks forward, with the gym being a huge contributor to that mentality. In this last year of college and looking forward to post-grad life, I think many of you will relate to this odd transition period and relate to the mentality. ENJOY

Sit down with Ameer and I as we chat about his passion for music. It started with family dinners with his parents singing, to him performing at non-profits in Lahore, Pakistan, to serenading PSA (Pakistani Student Association) at the Mehndi Ki Raat event at UC Berkeley where he is now pursuing his career goals in public policy in the Haas School of Business. I respect him for putting himself in the spotlight and showcasing his talent on Instagram where I first met him. We also touched on the many famous brands he's represented as well as his singles and music video released. I am honored to call him one of my good friends and his life goals inspire me and I'm sure they will inspire you too, but you'll have to listen to find out. ENJOY

I grew up very very independent & being surrounded by so many people this year who have been so loving and welcoming, I've been learning how to balance letting myself be dependent on others without relying on them too much. Also, while continuing to practice always being able to support myself when I need to. This comes out with simple things like grocery runs to having mental breakdown therapy sessions. I feel that many of my first-born, desi girls will relate to this episode as all our fathers raised us as if we were sons (but honestly we have an elite mentality). ENJOY

Reading the title of this episode is the best way I can describe it. ENJOY

I moved to the East Coast for work for the summer! I share the racial differences, aggressive drivers, and my appreciation for the dressing here amongst many other observations. My first week here before starting work has been pretty isolating and I share what I have been learning about myself during this kind of forced solitude.

While recording at the conspired haunted Denver airport, I wanted to share my experiences playing golf for the last 12 years. How my dad dragged me to the courses every weekend, playing for my high school team, tips on your swing, and most importantly, the many many life lessons learned from playing. I absolutely love the sport and am so happy to share this part of my life with you guys and I can't believe I haven't made an episode about it yet. Okay, my flight is boarding in 3 minutes and I apologize for the airport audio BYE. ENJOY

Back home the lack of routine, adjusting to a new space, amongst a thousand new responsibilities over the summer of spending time with family, friends, and preparing to move across the country had me in a spiral. Also while having new feelings that I was processing for the first time. All these changes are attributed to growth and young adulting, but they can be terrifying to embark on. I discuss what these feelings are like and their coping methods. I hope you find this episode relatable as it exposes the reality of a young adult mind just trying to figure out things that aren't necessarily obvious and would never be guessed from my social media. ENJOY
