  • Why me? | Looking at several perspectives of one's own self, both positive and negative

    There is no other view we have, of the world, than our own perspective. This time around, Manoj Khatri and I get into a deeper understanding of what this 'Me' represents. To our own selves and from the viewpoint of others. An interesting series of questions ensues and the answers are also a fascinating pause into checking the causes of our 'self-ownership'. Do check out this wonderful chat into a rare but

    important topic. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

  • 90 hour week - Looking into the deeper aspects of our jobs, our outlook and its ramifications

    #90hourweek #70hourweek is the topic of the moment - and many #corporateleaders have weighed in their side of the argument. Luckily, when Hemant and I come to speak about it, we refrain from taking easy positions or judgements. There is context, there is a combined outlook of what we are all doing, irrespective of where we stand on the socio-economic ladder. It leads to a wonderful kind of open conversation and spaces, I, for sure, didn't know existed in this debate within me. What a chat this has turned out to be. do check it out.

  • Money and its role in today's time | The present generation defines need and luxury...

    What a fantastic generation it is...We talk the one factor which keeps the world going round in today's times and perhaps, has always had a strong say in society. Money is a complex discussion and it helps to have guests like Sanjeet and Jahnavi who are not shy of naming things, sharing stories and are willing to listen my idealistic and perhaps 'unrealistic' expectations from them and humankind in general :) All in all, a very enjoyable and freewheeling chat on all things money and some detours on human values every now and then. Do check it out. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

  • Celebrity Sanyasin Ruby Bhatia | An #authentic look - The face beyond the #glamour

    This is in many ways a surprising and unusual podcast. Not the least because it features a celebrity we know from ‪@channelvindia1‬ once upon a time. ‪@rubybhatia123‬ has been one of the iconic names as a #veejay during her time at Channel V and also as an actress in a few well-known shows and movies. Her conversation and new avatar is shocking and charming in equal measure. Her take on life is sure to astonish you - but what will perhaps not, that she still has the vivacious vibe, we know her for. I do not ask easy questions, but she answers them all breezily without hesitating. She has taken to her new chosen role of helping people seriously and can be contacted on 9892312531. For all of us on the path, here is one more aspect of life to look at. Beyond the glamour, beyond success, and authentically, beyond the mask. Do check it out.

  • Understanding Meditation | Dissecting a much misused and freely used word to find its true meaning

    Getting to interview a monk is turning out to be one of the most profound blessings of life for me personally. The clarity with which Bhante Mahapanyo explains meditation and the various factors affecting the mind, how one needs to factor in the understanding of Buddha's prescribed path and also use reflection to connect it to one's own practice. A conversation of much help to seekers in all kinds of traditions, but especially the #buddhist practitioners. Do not miss it. May all share the merits of this attempt.

  • Loneliness - A question common to all ages in the modern era | How to accept it and move further

    Our conversation is a warm and deep connect over a topic of much relevance - Loneliness. It touches our lives due to various reasons and its impact is far-reaching for sure...the beauty of this particular conversation is not only the many facets of this challenge we cover, but also a little detour with a temporary guest friend, who enters the chat, and lends her two bits. It is such a joy to be discussing such important subjects with the youth and finding them grow up to the solutions. A wise young woman we have here - and I definitely look forward to speaking to her and her friends going forward. Check out this fantastic in-depth conversation.

  • A peek into the heart of leadership | Discussing what goes behind in personal and professional life.

    Karmendra Kohli, Co-founder and CEO of Secureyes, spoke to me about many things leadership, handling my comfortable and uncomfortable questions with equal ease and clarity. What worked for me, were his twin traits, of quick answers at times and the ability to pause before he shared his view on my query. While the examples are personal, they are not limited to his organisation, and it was interesting to look into what I refer to as his 'human side'. A fascinating chat, different from what I usually am able to present every week. Have a look. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

  • The necessity of pain and the option of suffering | Different perspectives of a similar journey. RC21

    A happy chat, this. What do you get when you have four versions of an incomplete, yet fulfilling journey of self exploration? Depends on how you perceive it in the moment. Roopa, Mustafa, Manoj and I agree, disagree and then come together again in understanding that words can be poor carriers of truth, and our views, though different at times, have much in common when it comes to studying our own selves and our place in this vast world. A free-flowing conversation, this will have you nodding affirmatively at the joy of it all, even as you too become a silent contributor to it while watching us build upon each other's insights. Have a fun weekend and do respond (or react :) to what you think. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

  • The many phases of ambition | From following dreams to being equanimous about the results RC20

    This is a fascinating mix of a conversation with Nishant Choudhary. We talk about ambition and 'seeking and many things which affect the two aspects. There is so much meat in here, that you might want to watch it twice. The questions surprised me as much as they piqued him and it helped that he was kind and patient with understanding the deeper undertones of the queries. Check it out. You are sure to enjoy this chat. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop

  • Where can one find #refuge from one's troubles? What does our search mean? How do we find peace? RC 19

    Who escapes troubles, uneasiness or suffering? Who or what can save us? Aren't we all looking for peace, calmness and a stable kind of happiness from our childhood itself? Solace is a universal need and in this episode we cover different aspects of the need, the various ways we try to obtain it and lastly, the actual understanding of what it means. In our limited wisdom, we have covered what seems essential. Have a look. For the video, check www.youtube.com/c/thevaluesworkshop
