because we're always changing & evolving!

Why Are CREATIVE People Often Rejected By Their Own Families? | The Creative Zindagi Podcast | Episode 70

In one of his speeches, Osho had this really insightful way of putting it: we're always changing, evolving.

By the time we've finally stepped into who we really are - maybe as an artist, a writer, a deep thinker - those who've known us forever, especially from childhood, still see that old version of us. They're stuck looking at the kid we used to be. They just can't wrap their heads around the fact that we've transformed. It's hard for them to believe it, let alone celebrate it. But strangers? They meet you fresh. No history, no baggage. They see exactly who you've become right now, in this moment. That's why they can genuinely admire you, support you, and cheer you on without any hesitation.

He gave this beautiful example with Gautam Buddha. When Buddha returned home after his enlightenment, his father begged him to come back to the palace, to give up this spiritual path and just be his son again, the prince he'd raised.

Buddha looked at him and said something like, "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. That person you’re talking to... he doesn't exist anymore. The young man who left the palace is gone forever."

His father could only see his little boy. But everyone else? They saw this radiant, awakened being "a Buddha".

It's kind of bittersweet; the people closest to us are often the last to recognize our growth. They cling to who we were yesterday, while strangers get to meet the person we're finally becoming today.

क्या आधुनिक भारत में Migration (प्रवासन) दरअसल एक Displacement (विस्थापन) है?

इस एपिसोड में Gaurav Sinha बात करते हैं उस सच्चाई पर — जहाँ लोग रोज़ अपने गाँव, परिवार और पहचान से दूर जा रहे हैं, एक बेहतर भविष्य की तलाश में।

हम अपने निकनेम से लेकर घर तक, सब कुछ पीछे छोड़ आते हैं। लेकिन क्या ये विकास की कीमत है या हमारी असली जड़ों से विस्थापन?

इस एपिसोड में सुनिए कवि Mukesh Kumar Sinha की मार्मिक कविता “Visthapan” उनकी कविता संग्रह “Hai Na” से, जिसे पढ़ा और साझा किया है Gaurav Sinha ने।

यह कविता उन युवाओं के दर्द को आवाज़ देती है जो रोज़ अपने गाँव छोड़कर शहरों की दौड़ में शामिल होते हैं।

Kabhi kisi ko dekh ke judge kiya hai?

In this fun and thought-provoking episode, we bring you “Assumption Apna Apna” – a short Hindi story that highlights how quick we are to judge people based on their appearance.

When a man mistakes a traditionally dressed woman for a villager, what follows is a surprising twist that challenges his assumptions. This witty and insightful story reminds us why the saying "Don’t judge a book by its cover" holds true even today.

If you’ve ever found yourself assuming things too quickly, this story will make you smile—and think twice!
