Hello everyone! I'm Vaishnavi Gupta, your host at Read-mate. I hope you are enjoying your quarantined life. Here's the first episode, the start of something great. I hope you like it.

Hello everyone! I hope you all have been enjoying this as much as I am. I have been reading my diary, and realising my growth so much! I have been feeling happy and mushy in the past three days! I have been enjoying the recording life. This episode is about revisiting childhood. I hope you do it too. In these difficult times, it is very important to connect with your family and friends, and it helps when you remember the good old days. Maybe they weren't so good. Maybe they're better now! Be thankful!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to READ-MATE. Today's episode is about introspection, and interpretations. Today's story is a work of fiction and is not related to any person alive or dead.

You can contact me on Instagram @vaishnavi.guptm . Happy listening!!

Hello everyone! Welcome back!! Today's episode is a poem I wrote when I wasn't even 18 years old. I knew nothing about the world then. I have changed and grown so much since then! I knew nothing about myself. The title is an irony to the content because the content is not very short. But the way I recite this poem, the length of this recording is short! Anyways! I hope you enjoy this episode and I hope you had a good time this week. Lockdown is hard, but let's stay at home in solidarity? Good! See you Thursday! I mean you'll hear me Thursday! Okay let's work it out however this works out!

Welcome back people! This episode of my podcast is about personality and how to maintain it constantly. I have always been an aware person. Even though I made some bad choices and let and control me, I know exactly how it portrayed me. I have been stubborn for far too long. Today's poem was work by me when I was 17 years old. I was on a spiritual path then. And today, I feel I'm on a spiritual path still. But it feels good to make content for people in these difficult times. I hope people find their better selves during this isolating time! And I feel sorry for anyone who is out there going through this deadly disease alone. My thoughts are with you!

Hello everyone! Welcome back. Enjoy this next episode by me. I hope this is not a democracy, For me, by me, of me. But let's fix one problem at a time. Share, and keep sharing and then some more sharing and then some.

Hello everyone! Welcome back!! I post a poem every Monday and Thursday. Enjoy this episode as I navigate through what happens and what does not. I hope it's as interesting as it sounds! Our more interesting than that.

Hello everyone! Today's episode is about a poem that changed the way I've looked at my life for so long. Who needs people when you have so many other things. Things to think about, overthink about and play with. I love the play of words. I'm a big fan of puns. Needless to say, today's episode is not about puns or word play. It's about the poem that I wrote when I was feeling alone. Sometimes being surrounded by family is not enough. Everyone needs someone that they can talk about family problems. Or even regular relationship issues. But no one, I repeat, no one can help you the way you can help yourself. So, I have this small teddy bear which was my first you ever. I've felt more comfort with it than any other thing or person. Not even my mother. So whenever I feel like I'm going to go off the deep end, I look for it. And whenever it is gone, I hide it someplace so that next time I can find it. When we're having panic and anxiety attacks, we just forget our good memories. So it's difficult to locate that comfort object. And when were searching for the comfort object, we shift our thoughts to that object. I have realised one thing. Never be emotionally dependent on one single person. They feel too much burdened and eventually leave if things get worse. Anyway! Enjoy this episode and do not forget to share it with people who lack hope.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my podcast. As I present this new episode, I'm so sorry about the fact that I couldn't make time for recording sooner. But, hey, better late than never. So in this episode, I talk about my struggles as a 2021 batch student.

Hey guys!!! I'm so glad to have everyone listen to this. There are so many difficult times in life. I started a podcast when lockdown first started and I felt pretty great about it. I felt proud to be strong and proud to be a creator at a platform. In this world nothing is constant and so, none of my plans to keep doing what I did were constant. Consistency is the key to being successful, so here's me trying to be successful for the second time. In this first episode of season two on anchor, I talk about how interesting it is to sit all alone with your thoughts, how interesting our thoughts are and how I feel when I am looking at the clouds above while experiencing wind in my legs. HAVE FUN LISTENING TO IT. LIKE SHARE SUBSCRIBE, I guess?
