- 12: Childhood – The TV Shows & Movies that Moulded UsGrowing up in the 80s in India was quite the experience. You had just 2 TV channels, would rent VCRs to watch movies on VHS tapes, and absorb every bit of entertainment because there was (relatively) so little of it available. Then satellite TV came, you grew up, and decades later revisited those childhood shows, […]1 hr 3 min
- #11: Tolerance – Should we argue, or just Unfriend each other?We live in an increasingly polarized world where facts and opinions get tangled up with emotions and identity. How do we navigate all this? Should we be fighting for our beliefs? Or is it smarter to just ‘unfriend’ people and move on? In this episode, Susheel and Rohan explore what ‘tolerance’ looks like (or perhaps […]57 min
- #10: Stress in the Time of COVID-19: Why We’re Stressed & How We Can CopeThe pandemic is stripping us of many of our coping strategies for stress.

- #9: The Fear of Missing Out [FOMO]: An Amusing (But Very Real) ‘Lockdown’ AnxietyThe COVID-19 lockdown has us swinging between paralyzing anxiety and a gnawing feeling that we should be ‘doing more’ with our newly gifted time at home. But what exactly are we afraid we’re missing out on? And will we really be happier once we find it? 00:00 – Opening question: How do you make […]38 min

In this episode, we debunk some of these mainstream myths, explore what minimalism could be about instead, and offer some real-world examples of how it can change your […]31 min
- #7: COVID-19: Sweden’s Response [Good, Bad, or Ugly?]“Why has Sweden’s response to COVID-19 been so much less restrictive than the rest of the world’s? Has their strategy worked? And, should India act similarly?” In this episode, Dr. Prathap Tharyan returns to answer these questions posed by a friend of the show. And he unpacks the issues involved in his trademark systematic, comprehensive, […]31 min
- Sliding Doors Mini 1 - NVidia RTX Voice
As a demonstration of what machine learning and AI can be used for in daily life, NVidia has released the beta version of their RTX Voice application. What this app does is truly amazing. It filters out all audio except for human voice that is spoken into a microphone this means that in most cases, it will also filter out background voices. This makes it a boon for people who are in video conferences, video game streamers, webinar hosts, podcasters and more! In fact, this episode of Sliding Doors was recorded with RTX Voice for both Rohan and Susheel. Listen to it and let us know what you think.

- [S1E5] COVID-19 (Pt 1): Facts Only, Please [Ask the Doctor]
The COVID threat is both new and old. The coronavirus and the way it infects is novel, but we’ve seen pandemics before. So, what have we learned from them? And can we distill those lessons into actionable solutions for the COVID challenge? Dr Prathap Tharyan (Adjunct Professor, Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Christian Medical College, Vellore) talks to us about his experiences dealing with the AIDS pandemic in the 80s and the striking parallels to what COVID is doing to us. He discusses the data, the facts, and then his reflections on what we as a community can do -- not just to survive, but to thrive.
