The UNSETTLING Podcast

The climate is changing day by day. The mindless use of resources available and our refusal to clean up the mess behind us has caused damage to the climate that might just be irrevocable if we don't take steps to mend our ways soon.  

Episode 5 is a conversation with Pooja Tendulkar, who is an environmentalist and has provided environment-friendly water treatment solutions. She stumbled upon Duckweed that helps in cleaning up the water in a natural way. After Duckweed has extra nutrients in the water it can act as fodder for cattle as it is rich in protein.  

We had a conversation on the kind of water treatment plants that her firm Lemnion Green Solutions provides. We also spoke about the kind of impact her projects have on the social front. Saras Baug is an excellent example of a social project that she has partaken in. 

She also tells us what SETTLED means to her.  

I am sure that this episode too will give you an insight into a different career path that also happens to be the need of the hour.

Stand-up comedy is a part and parcel of our lives. Our morning routine is incomplete without a dose of laughter from our favourite comics.    

Episode 4 is a conversation of Paul Rupen who talks about the struggles of being a stand-up comic. Rupen Paul is a South Indian who did not do engineering, not because he was too cool to follow the crowd but mainly because he did not get enough marks. His jokes can find him making fun of the absurdities and oddities of life as experienced by people growing in a middle-class home. He is the winner of the 2014 Comedy Open Mic organized by Big Mic and has performed shows across the country. He considers himself a funny yet grumpy man who has quit his job to pursue a career in making people laugh at his failures.

Learning a language is a tedious task. Remember how we were scored for all the essay questions during our school days? 

And how we used to be penalized if we spoke in our Mother Tongue during school hours. I used to be scared of my teachers. But because of them, I am able to speak a language that was foreign to me, with ease.  

Episode 3 is a conversation with Anaya Mundley about her journey of learning German. The research that went into choosing the right academy, her leap of faith into the unknown and the scope that learning a foreign language offers.  

Unsettling brings to you stories of individuals who have redefined the definition of settled and are following a path that they have created for themselves.

What do I do after engineering? Is masters the answer? If yes, which field do I choose to do the masters in? All these questions and more are answered in this episode of the podcast.   

In Episode 2 I am talking to a childhood friend and together we have discussed the pros and cons of the education system, what are the factors that are to be kept in mind before opting for higher studies. The scope and job opportunities that are available in this sector.

A photographer is a person who can make time stand still. He captures each moment of our lives in a frame that we can revisit and relive over and over again. A baby's smile, the bride's tears, the fruit vendors toil, and the old man's peace after he has lived his life to the fullest; all these priceless moments are what he lives for. He is the beholder of all the things of beauty that surround us and he is our window to the entire world.   

Episode 1 of UNSETTLING brings to you the journey of one such photographer, who has forged his own niche in the world. He talks about his life as a photographer and about the pitfalls and hurdles that he had to encounter to reach the position that he is in today. He also talks about the key to becoming a good photographer and his passion for photography. Lastly, he leaves us with a message that is an inspiration to all the fellow photographers out there who are trying to find a footing in this field.   

He has directed many short films and has also covered the band ONE DIRECTION perform live!
