I didn’t plan this episode. Didn’t want to make it either.

But after losing a friend, a batchmate, and dragging myself through a job that feels like slow decay... something had to give.

This isn’t about healing. It’s not closure. It’s just me — talking about loss, burnout, and the quiet, stupid ways misery sneaks in and stays.

If you relate, cool. If you don’t, that’s fine too.

If you want to hear more from me — about sales, about consultancy, about how to sell your soul politely on calls — you can let me know. I probably won’t reply.

But hey, Rai Bhi Lo.

What's up, beautiful people? Welcome to RAI BHILO, the podcast where we dive deep into the mess that is life, and try to find some pearls of wisdom in the muck. I'm your host, Tathagat, and today, we're getting real about self-worth, self-love, and putting ourselves first, all through the lens of a day that went spectacularly sideways.[Transition Music]Host: Picture this: It's a day like any other, except it's not. It's the day I'm supposed to fly out to see my ex, Itty. Yeah, the one who's seen more ups and downs with me than a roller coaster at Disneyland. I'm packed, I'm pumped, and I'm ready to go. But the universe? It has other plans.1. The Missed Flight: I get to the airport, feeling like a boss. But guess what? I miss my flight. Not because I'm late, but because fate decided to play a cruel joke on me. There go my plans, up in smoke, along with a cool 18,000 rupees.

2. The Emotional Meltdown: So, I call my ex, right? And what was supposed to be a "Hey, I'm coming to see you" turns into a "Hey, I'm crying in public at the airport." Yeah, a 30-year-old man, tears streaming down his face, while people awkwardly pretend not to notice. It's a scene straight out of a Bollywood movie, minus the dramatic background music.

3. The Harsh Reality: She bless her heart, decides this is the perfect time to tell me she's done. Done with me, done with us. And there I am, thinking I'm the hero of this story, ready to sweep her off her feet, only to realize I'm not even a supporting character in her life anymore.4. The Anger: Oh, the anger. It bubbles up like a volcano ready to erupt. I'm pissed at the world, at her, at the airline, at the guy who's too close to me in line. I'm just a walking, talking ball of fury.5. The Epiphany: But here's the kicker. In the midst of all this chaos, I have an epiphany. Why am I letting someone else dictate my worth? Why am I chasing after a love that's clearly not meant for me? It's like a lightbulb moment, except it's more like a fireworks display in my brain.Host: So, what's the moral of this story, folks? It's that sometimes, life has to knock you down a few pegs to show you that you're the only one who can pick yourself back up. It's about realizing that self-worth isn't something you find in someone else's arms, but in your own heart.

That's it for today's episode of RAI BHILO. If you've ever had a day that made you question everything, only to find some hidden gems of wisdom, I want to hear about it. Until next time, keep loving yourself, keep valuing yourself, and for heaven's sake, keep checking your flight details. Peace out!

Welcome back to RAI BHILO, the podcast where we explore the depths of personal growth, resilience, and the art of living. I’m your host, and today’s episode is a deep dive into “The Art of Letting Go.”

Letting go is a concept that sounds simple on paper but is incredibly complex in practice. It’s about releasing the hold that past experiences, emotions, or people have on us. It’s about moving forward, lighter and more free. And trust me, I’ve had my fair share of experiences that have tested my ability to let go.

Just recently, I had a day that felt like a storm. I missed a flight, lost a significant amount of money, and had a falling out with someone who used to be very important to me. It was a day that left me feeling utterly alone and questioning my self-worth. And yes, I cried. I cried at the airport, and I had to call my boss to tell him I couldn’t work because I was too emotional.

But here’s the thing - it’s okay. It’s okay to feel pain, to break down, and to be angry. What’s not okay is letting these experiences define your worth. You are not the sum of your painful experiences. You are so much more.

So, how do we let go? How do we take these painful moments and turn them into something meaningful? Here are a few thoughts:

1. Acceptance: The first step is accepting what happened. Accept that it’s part of your story, but it’s not your entire story.

2. Expression: Find a healthy way to express your emotions. For me, it’s this podcast. For you, it might be art, writing, or music.

3. Focus on the Present: The past is gone, and the future is unknown. All we have is now. Cherish it.

4. Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. You’re doing the best you can with what you have.

5. Growth: Look for the lessons. Every painful experience has something to teach us.

Host: And remember, the way through serendipity is often through chaos. This experience, as painful as it was, has opened up new doors for me. It’s a reminder that sometimes, letting go is the only way to make room for new blessings.

Host: So, to anyone out there struggling to let go, know that you’re not alone. It’s a journey we’re all on, and it’s a journey worth taking.

Host: Thank you for joining me on RAI BHILO today. If this episode resonated with you, feel free to share your thoughts and experiences. Until next time, keep growing, keep healing, and keep letting go.

Introduction:

Welcome to RAI BHILO, where we dive deep into the journey of self-discovery and personal growth. In this episode, we’re exploring the art of letting go, a crucial skill for anyone seeking peace and fulfillment in life.

The Importance of Letting Go:

Letting go is about releasing what no longer serves us, be it past hurts, unhelpful patterns, or relationships that drain our energy. It’s a process of freeing ourselves from the weight of the past to make room for new experiences and opportunities.

Personal Experience:

I recently went through a challenging experience that tested my ability to let go. I missed a flight, lost a significant amount of money, and faced the end of a relationship that was once very important to me. It was a painful ordeal, but it taught me valuable lessons about my own worth and the importance of setting boundaries.

Lessons Learned:

1. Recognize Your Worth: Understand that your value is not dependent on anyone else’s approval or presence in your life.

2. Set Boundaries: Clearly define what is acceptable in your relationships and stick to those boundaries.

3. Focus on What You Can Control: Invest your energy in actions and thoughts that contribute to your well-being.

4. Embrace Change: Accept that life is constantly evolving, and change is a natural part of growth.

5. Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself during difficult times. Healing is a journey, not a destination.

Conclusion:

Letting go is not an easy process, but it’s a necessary one for anyone looking to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. Remember, it’s okay to mourn what’s lost, but don’t let it hold you back from embracing the beauty of what’s to come.

मुझ को तेरा शबाब ले बैठा

रंग, गोरा गुलाब ले बैठा

दिल का डर था कहीं न ले बैठे

ले ही बैठा जनाब ले बैठा

जब भी फ़ुर्सत मिली है फ़र्ज़ों से

तेरे रुख़ की किताब ले बैठा

कितनी बीती है कितनी बाक़ी है

मुझ को इस का हिसाब ले बैठा

मुझ को जब भी है तेरी याद आई

दिन-दहाड़े शराब ले बैठा

अच्छा होता सवाल ना करता

मुझ को तेरा जवाब ले बैठा

'शिव' को इक ग़म पे ही भरोसा था

ग़म से कोरा जवाब ले बैठा

Thankyou so much for your support, wishes and love it has been an incredible source of inspiration in my life. When I started RaiBhiLo as a podcast back in July 2019 , i was clueless, i had no equipment no training no studio. Hell i recorded my first episode in the Washroom, looking back at that these 10k+ listeners feels like a dream, but i have achieved that thanks to you guys and Ripunjay Mishra, who has been one incredible rock by my side. From Court to Corporate, Lucknow to London this man manages each one of my ventures, thanks to him i can pursue what I wish to. But this is a Goal that could not have been completed if not for you. Yes you my dear listen, AAP HO TO MAI HOON! Thankyou so much all of you individually, it's incredible what is happening with the Channel. I love you Guys from the core of my heart!

This is a message for our team member and brother who left us for heavenly abode at the raw age of 25 years. Rest in Peace Patrakar Babu!

Except to the the Rule of Fixing a Broken Heart
