  • EP 11 - Relationship stress : Pyar ki Psychology.

    Relationships were always stressed, but we are doing less to manage stress than to create them. We know that stress does not solve any problem, but we can avoid them lest we accept stress as a problem. If we don’t remove stressors we are normalizing them.

    If you are also facing stress in a relationship or relationships in general, listen to this episode once.

  • EP 10 - CHATH PUJA : CARNIVAL OF FAITH

    Chath is the most precious cultural heritage for a Bihari and It carries a hypnotic attraction for others. Chath is a regional folk festival of Bihar, Jharkhand, UP and parts of Nepal. Environmentalists say that with all its core values and rituals, Chath is the most green and clean festivals on the planet. Sociologists are fancied by its inclusiveness and psychologists mark it as a complete spiritual experience. So, it works for everyone.  

    I have tried to explore chath from aforementioned perspectives and also added a bit of traditional chat songs. Geets used in this podcast are sung by my own family members - My mother Fulmati Devi, my nephews Abhijeet Srivastava, Avinash Srivastava and Yash Srivastava.

  • EP 9 - UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH

    Let's start a conversation around mental health because this can change the game of life, altogether. Mental health is the silent pandemic humanity is going through. It is damaging health, wealth, education, career and even lives. According to an estimate by WHO, two of the most common mental health conditions, depression and anxiety, cost the global economy US$ 1 trillion each year. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two decades early – due to preventable physical conditions.

    On the other hand, according to WHO only, 

    • Affordable, effective and feasible strategies exist to promote, protect and restore mental health.
    • The need for action on mental health is indisputable and urgent.
    • Mental health has intrinsic and instrumental value and is integral to our well-being.
    • Mental health is determined by a complex interplay of individual, social and structural stresses and vulnerabilities.
    • Keeping yourself physically fit helps you in keeping yourself mentally fit. But, this is not enough, and there is a gap. That gap is called mental health. Religion, spirituality and philosophy have emerged out of this gap only. It helped us before we were exposed to modern sciences. Now there is science to help us in a better way and psychology is there to tell us - how. I hope this podcast inspires you to think differently. happy listening .

    • EP 8 - SHRADDH from the perspective of Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology

      Pitru Paksha, a 15-day period in the Hindu calendar, is a time for paying homage to ancestors through food offerings. This tradition is not unique to Hinduism, as homage to ancestors has been a part of many ancient civilizations. What sets Pitru Paksha apart is its longevity and unity in diversity. Rituals are performed throughout the fortnight, from north to south and east to west, with the belief that it will lead to the emancipation of their heavenly forefathers.

      India's unique rituals and beliefs, such as Shraddh and Tarpan, have been studied by psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists both in India and abroad. By drawing from these studies, we can gain a better understanding of Pitru Paksha, Shraddh and Moksha.

    • EP 6 - BODY SHAMING, BODY NEUTRALITY AND BODY POSITIVITY

      Are you body shamed? Do you body shame? What is body positivity? What is body neutrality? Calling out someone by his/her body features negatively can make the person mentally ill. This is why, from Victorian era to post pandemic time, wise men are fighting against this discrimination. Brands are promoting the idea of challenging stereotypes. But, as in many other social media movements, body positivity is also overlapping the purposeful boundaries. Here lies the question - what should be the rightful approach towards our body?

    • EP 5 - PHUBBING : Smartphone addiction

      फबिंग साइकोलॉजी के लेक्सिकॉन में एक नई एंट्री है......ये दो शब्दों को मिलाकर गढ़ा गया है...फोन और स्नबिंग.... snubbing का मतलब है किसी आदमी को इग्नोर करना... उसकी तरफ नजर उठा के भी ना देखना.....स्नबिंग एक रूखा व्यवहार माना जाता है....मतलब अगर आप फ़ोन के चलते किसी को इग्नोर करते हैं...तो ये एक इल मैनर है और इसे फबिंग कहते हैं....

      स्टडीज में ये पाया गया है कि फोन की वजह से दोस्तों, रिश्तेदारों और यहां तक की प्रेमी जोड़ों के बीच खटपट आम बात हो गई है...और एक लिमिट से ज्यादा फबिंग का शिकार होने वाला व्यक्ति डिप्रेश्ड फील करने लगता है...फ़बिंग टर्म का जन्म इसी समस्या का हल ढूंढने के लिए किया गया था...

      स्टडीज कहती हैं कि फ़बिंग का प्रचलन, धीरे धीरे, हमारे फ़ेस-टू-फ़ेस इंटरैक्शन को लेस मीनिंगफुल यानि कमजोर बना रहा है... फ़ब्ड यानी फ़बिंग का शिकार हो चुका व्यक्ति ऑस्ट्रसाइज्ड फील करता है....यानि बहिष्कृत महसूस करता है...फबिंग उसके सेल्फ एस्टीम, उसके बिलॉन्गिंगनेस औऱ उसके एग्जिस्टेंस को थ्रेटन करती है.....स्टडीज ये भी कहती हैं कि अगर पति पत्नी के बीच फबिंग शुरू हो गई तो उनका मैरिटल सैटिसफैक्शन घटता है...उनमें डिप्रेस्शन के चांस बढ़ जाते हैं...
