We all know of making money for necessity or for luxuries, but what about when "making money" is your passion?... No, seriously! The world of finance, investments and portfolios was what gave a new seed of life to a freshly-retired Mr. KS Rajan (a.k.a. my DAD).

An air conditioning man all his life, he rekindled a decades-old interest in making money and helping others make money through investments and portfolios management!

Listen in as we explore the world of stock markets, mutual funds and personal wealth management in the first installment of this two-part series and follow the money!

If you've heard my podcast before, you'd know that I call myself a "serial hobbyist with an unquenchable thirst for learning". That's not an exaggeration because my list of interests is never-ending, with a new one almost every fortnight (although that maybe a little bit of an exaggeration). Sometimes I wonder if there's just too many, but really, who put a limit on the number of things one should like doing, right?

When did you last enjoy a hobby without facing the pressure of taking pictures and posting it online? Conversely, do you love your "hobby" so much that you actually want to pursue it professionally? If your passion was your profession, what would you be doing right now?

If you have ever met an Army Officer, or their family, one of the many thoughts that has crossed your mind has probably been about how amazing their life must be with the perks and privileges that are afforded. But have you ever stopped and considered all that goes in to earning those things?

In this last installment of the Women Empowerment month on Sum of Everything, join me as we pierce the glamourous veil of the Army Wife's life and get into the gritty details of the life of a woman in the Armed forces as a support to her Officer husband. How her job extends not only to keeping the family together but also the larger family which includes families of all those men that her husband is responsible for.

Have you ever felt so homesick in a foreign country that it prompted you to start a whole enterprise which eventually led to recognition from the Government back home?

Well, Swarnim did! Join me as I get progressively more overawed by this iron lady, who began her enterprise simply because she missed Bollywood music in Korea, and now, gets contacted by even locals to organise events for them!

What is the strangest thing ever that happened to you that led you to the life you were meant to lead? For Isha, it was randomly watching the video of a song from a movie she didn't even watch that led her to becoming a hairstylist, one of the first curly hair experts in Bangalore and eventually, the founder of her very own brand.

In our next episode for women empowerment month, join me as I curl up in Isha's cozy salon to chat with her about veering off the oft' trod path, starting a business and lots more!

March is synonymous with International Women's Day, which falls on 8th March. And well, what better way to celebrate March on Sum of Everything than to dedicate it to all the amazing women out there!

In this episode, I explore what empowerment means to me, and to 6 other women that I love and admire - and discover what we can take away from our respective perspectives on what it means to be empowered.

Marriage as an institution has changed its form in so many ways in the last few decades. What used to be set roles of men and women in marriages no longer hold true, especially in today's context of nuclear families and fluid gender roles.

Join me as I chat with Vikas and Tanvee, a couple in a "Modern Marriage" to see what they have to say about Marriages today.

During childhood, my parents would often remark that my sister and I were as different as chalk and cheese. "And I'm the tastier one!", would be my instantaneous response.

Siblings are weird. They are somehow your worst enemy and your best friend rolled into one. They can be your complete opposite and yet, no one knows you better than they do, and that is precisely why they know exactly where, how and when to press your buttons so you are annoyed beyond measure. That is not to say that sibling relationships are not fraught with tension, negative emotions or even resentment.

But that's what makes this relationship special. If you are fortunate enough to share a special bond with your sibling, then you know that irrespective of the challenge, you will overcome it together, and there is no one in the entire Multiverse that could fill their shoes - they are your special person, and you are theirs - a fact that remains unchanged for eternity.

Join us as my sibling and I discuss the evolution of our biological bond into a chosen one, how we learned to never take it for granted, and maybe share it with your sibling too!

Few things are as cathartic as talking to your best friend about love, relationships and everything related. Grab a cup of coffee and listen in to one such conversation, as my best friend and I discuss relationships, evolution and what love means to us... 15 years ago when we first met as teenagers, and how we view it now!

Have you ever crossed paths with someone and thought to yourself, "There is no way that this meeting was co-incidental. It had to be fate"? Well, what if I told you that some believe that every single person you ever interact with, even if it is that annoying person who pushed you on the metro, or the kind lady who shared her umbrella with you when you were caught in the rain, or even the kid you smiled at while waiting in line at the airport, was all fated?

Come and explore the concept of "Inyeon" with me, as we kick off the month of Love on Sum of Everything!
