"My body is craving for tea". In this sensation, I realize that there are three types of cravings.

One, a craving that is an innate or a primal one. In this type of craving, our body tells us that we are lacking a vital thing within, and therefore we feel the need for it. The second type of craving is a sensorial one. A sensorial craving emerges mainly to satisfy the sensorial pleasure. The third type of craving is a compulsive craving. Compulsive craving is something to which we are habituated.

In these three types of cravings, what kind of craving is my craving for tea?

Only looking within and enquiring might give an answer to that.

A chain smoker knows that they need to quit smoking; an alcoholic knows the ill effects of alcohol on their body; an unfit, overweight person knows that they need to eat right or hit the gym! Yet, knowing isn't producing the results. We all know, yet we fall short. There is a world of a difference between knowing and doing simply what we already know. Today's podcast is exactly about that!

Words Create World - we say something, collectively we agree and then we create the world we live in. On the other hand, we create our own inner world with our own words, and do not even realize that we've made some mess? Let's look at this inner world that we create with our words in this podcast.

This is an abstract podcast looking at the meanings of words and the way similar seeing meanings become vastly different in their essence. 

Within our language, we use words with understanding the meaning of the word but often we overlook the essence - the root of that word. There are different words in a language that seems to have the same meaning but at the core, their essence is worlds apart! To investigate such words, we need to dive deeper into understanding the nuance of language. This, one may not realize, is often shaping who we are, how we live. Through this podcast, we intend to bring attention to a deeper aspect of relativity in language and sensitize our audience.

Habit Hacking is not a "How to" podcast. It's a podcast that discusses and builds on one of our earlier podcasts "Habit vs. Lifestyle". In this podcast, we bring a premise looking at our tendency to pursue as good habits - be it of organising work or managing time about might actually not be a habit, but a culture. It could be a culture to break away from our habit of getting distracted!

Timeboxing is a mere example that we take to discuss the premise. See in your own life, in what domains can you build a culture for yourself.

Have you ever heard Sachin Tendulkar complaining about practicing too hard or Bhimsen Joshi whining about doing eighteen hours of riyaaz a day? If at all we've heard, they would be acknowledging and being appreciative of that activity. This holds true for all individuals - famous or not - to be enjoying and immersing in an activity that they love. For some, if they're lucky, the activity they love also becomes their profession.

Often, in today's day and age, we hear people celebrating hard work and talking in high regard of the individuals who profess "hard-working". But is that a way forward? Is there another alternative to this way of working? Let us look at that and more in this podcast.

We're born curious. We want to not only observe and learn everything but also simply enjoy it - then be it cycling, swimming, or playing frisbee. Slowly, that as a daily activity transforms into a habit. A habit, that we then label either good or bad, judge it, and do it consciously but also forcing ourselves into it. It becomes nothing but a pattern. Lifestyle, on the other hand, probably could be an evolution of a habit. Here there is no compulsion, but one is still conscious of the activity they are involved in. However, the key lies in losing oneself in the act - just like when we were that little, curious child. What would that be like? 

While we neither can teach you that nor can give you that experience, the distinction between habit and lifestyle may allow you to touch that sacred space.

Many times, we come across parents and elderly commanding their children “please concentrate”. Is concentration really that important? Is it what we actually want to say to that child? Or, sometimes, do we mean to say “pay attention” and use the word “concentration” instead?

Since childhood, we have – particularly in India – been exposed to these two words “attention” and “concentration”. In today’s podcast, Shantesh and Prasanna converse to try and decode the meaning of the two words and bring a distinction between the two. Why? Simply because, we may have grown up, but those two words still play a significant role in how we operate!

Abhishek Upamanyu - the stand-up comedian's line imitating his father, “…arey tum subah jaldi uthh ke toh dekho!” (… just wake up early and see the difference for yourself!) struck a chord with the youth – particularly the children of Indian parents.

What’s this fascination with waking up early? Is it really beneficial? Or it’s not everyone’s cup of tea? Our conversation in this podcast intends to instigate an inquiry for yourself to find what works best for you.
