RagsRants

10/10 dost hain aur job hai par fir bhi loneliness feel hota hai. Mein toh gharpe rehta hoon cute family ke saath aur meri hi itni band bajj rahi hai- I can’t imagine what it’d be like for someone jo naye sheher mein rehta hai.

The recent UGC ruling banning psychology in ODL/online modes has made me very sad and now you, as my loyal listeners, get to hear me whine about it 😋

My 23rd birthday is on 10th July (less than a week away) and I’m absolutely bricking it. Haven’t been this anxious in a while 😋

This episode is more of a somewhat articulated breakdown than a rant. However, I thought some of you might be struggling with similar thoughts aur tumhe relatable lagta toh issi liye maine yeh record kardiya.

The three thoughts I discuss are-

• Death (2:18)
• Physical Gender Transitioning (7:35)
• Neurotypical Privilege (14:07)

In this episode, I explore an original concept that I've termed "Aa bel mujhe maar" syndrome. I also discuss how red-pill misogyny fuels the loneliness epidemic and how being nice is the bare minimum.

Bonus points if you watch 'X' by Daniel Sloss

I completely nerd out in this episode- I discuss Freud's views on religion, society, and the superego.

2024 is over, and time feels like it’s speeding past me. In this episode, I discuss the nagging feeling I have of “Am I doing enough?”.

Aaj bina script ke rant kara, just like the old days!

I discuss how to start your self-growth journey! I debunk sigma male reelers' and podcasters' advice and give you some *actually* good tips that I use myself.

Everyone knows mainstream media is terrible at accurately depicting mental illnesses; In this episode, I try to find the reasons why this representation is so inaccurate by trying to think from the filmmaker’s point of view rather than just gaali-galoch-ing them (which i still do, of course). To do this, i watched a bunch of videos, listened to a bunch of podcast episodes and compiled my findings. References- Brandon. (2019, July 27).
