This is a snippet from the Fight Club Episode. This clip talks about Death, prioritising what's really important, the movie ZNMD and a bit of spirituality. 

The first rule of fight club is that you don't talk about the Fight Club.

The second rule of fight club is that you don't talk about the Fight Club. 

Sorry but.....We couldn't help ourselves from braking the first two rules of Fight Club

On this episode I sit down with Vishal to discuss fight club, what the movie represents and why it was way ahead of it's time even in 1999. 

We talk about Materialism, the social media addiction, the idea of mortality and why is it scary. 

We break down some of our favourite scenes from the movie and look at some of the dialogues that have stayed with us. 

On this episode of the Giant Verma Show, Jayant talks about how the mindless pursuit of materialistic things can cause depression and lower life satisfaction. Living in a consumerism based society, surrounded with advertisements constantly and feeling as though we are not enough without buying X or Y, has left us more dissatisfied with our lives. 

Minimalism is a lifestyle that is picking up some popularity as more and more people are indulging in the mindful pursuit of less, and understanding that "LESS IS MORE". 

This episode is about moving from being Materialistic to being a Minimalist. 

So with the on-going lockdown, most of the gym enthusiasts have shifted to some form of home workout. With over a month of working out indoors, I’ve come to realise why Home workouts are better and why quitting the Gym would be a good idea.

On this episode, I give you the morning routine that I have been following during the lockdown.

In this episode I talk about how being in a lockdown can be taking a toll on your mental health, and give you some actionable habits that you can start practising to look after your mental health. 

The actionable habits are : 

1. Keep in touch with the people who were a part of your social circle and try and use texting as a means to set up a call rather than conversing over text.

2. Keep your Anxiety in Check 

3. Set healthy boundaries with your family members and respect each other’s personal space.

4. Maintain a proper routine.

5. Get your ass moving

6. learn a new way of life and Kill the FOMO

I was recently introduced to the field of ' Smart Drugs', Modafilin in particular. I read about how it enhances your cognitive abilities and helps you think better and be more productive. So after a lot of research, I decided to give this Magic Pill a shot and here's what happened! 

I address "Are drugs bad for you" and talk about why we might not have had iPhones and MacBooks if it wasn't for LSD. 

Why Smart drugs like Adderall and Modafinil are gaining popularity in competitive environment like Schools and Silicon Valley abroad.

On this episode I have with me Dr. Sarthak Gulati who is working at Sarojini Naidu Hospital. I talk to him about the on-going pandemic. We discuss about how well are the doctors are prepared to deal with an outbreak of this scale. How the doctors are doing their best with limited protective equipment they are provided with. What makes finding a vaccine for Covid-19 extremely difficult and how is it different from SARS.

Dr. Sarthak having an interest in psychology also throws some light on what affects the self-isolation can have on your mental health and what steps can you take to stay positive at a time like this.

How trustworthy is the news being circulated on the Internet and WhatsApp?

In this episode I have with me Tuhina Raj, an amazing writer,poet, founder of the page WordsOfWorth, with a following of 150k+ she’s mesmerising people with her beautifully crafted pieces of writing. In this episode we talk about how she’s been a Jack of all trades from a very young age and how she's been learning various art forms since her childhood. Why did she choose writing as an art-form to express herself and how it has proven to be therapeutic for her. We take a closer look at her creative process and try and understand the effort and the process that goes behind creating a piece that resonates with her audience.
