  • Chats With APP: Episode 6: Boyfriends, Girlfriends and Parents!

    This week I, The Wise Owl am treading on thin ice by putting my dad on the spot and asking the tough questions regarding relationships. It was a rather new topic to me, Considering the fact that I have never been in a relationship I was curious about certain questions and was even more eager and curious to hear my dads response. So here it is, a conversation between an 18 year-old daughter and her old dad (wink) as they explore relationships, the do's the don't and love in general.

  • Being an Introvert in an Extroverted World

    Hi everyone! Welcome to the Wise Owl Muses!

     I've always been an introvert. I would spend my days alone in my room reading a good book with a cup of tea rather than going out for a party. When we live in a world that celebrates being extroverted it got me thinking how do we introverts navigate the world of the extroverts? how do we fit in? but most importantly how do we introverts maximize our potential? That curiosity led me to interviewing Mr. Niresh Samaranayake who is the head of human resources at Axiata Digital Labs. He is also a self-proclaimed introvert who is also (drumroll please) a DJ! I hope you enjoy this podcast and find answers to your unanswered questions.
