Hi everyone! This is Real Lives, Real People with me, Arushi Saxena. On this podcast, I cover a wide range of topics with guests, from what they are passionate about, have dealt with, or worldly matters important to them. I want to show the candid sides of people without the social media filter and hope to give my listeners new perspectives and thoughts.
This episode is with my friend, Aumber Sharma. He is a delightful person to talk to, and we discuss happiness and the rat race, specifically within desi culture. We talk about the importance of conversations at work, especially at this point in time, including what Aumber’s place of work has been up to. We discuss the gentrification of Hoboken, New Jersey and the color of money and wealth. And we also talk about reading in this day and age where technology is at our fingertips and how we’ve almost lost that attention span for reading a book. Enjoy!
Feel free to message me on Instagram or the Website about topics you want to listen to in the future!
