When was it the last time that you sketched or drew something - even if with some squiggly lines? Like daily journaling, daily doodling can also bring a pause within - an experience of slowness. Inktober is like a festival started by an illustrator and an artist Jake Parker. It was started in 2009 with the sole intent as a challenge to improve his own inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists and individuals taking on the challenge every year. You can too. Simply, pause, take a pen, paper, and draw!

The first time I came across somebody who could flick pages and read a book was Vici the robot from the 80's show Small Wonder! But that fascinated me. I had people around me who could, although not as fast as Vici, read considerably fast. And, it's a skill worth pursuing. But does it really benefit us by reading volumes and volumes of books? Let's look at that in this episode.

An old, frail lady is watering her plants. As she does that, she is drenched in the rains. Puzzled Ruskin Bond appears from behind her back with an umbrella to shade her. And, as he brings her under his umbrella, asks her curiously, when it's raining, why are you watering the plants? The old lady replies, it's because the plants are expecting the water from me. Sometimes things don't seem to add up.

Content is rampantly being generated. The only reason that is happening is because it is being consumed in an equally rampant manner. And if you're wondering what's rampant? Probably listening to this episode at 2x the speed might just give you the answer!

We all know the story of Aladdin and his Genie. The Genie can fulfil any of Aladdin’s wishes. What if we say that each one of us already have such a Genie?

Let me first begin by saying that this episode is not a philosophical conversation, but rather an enquiry into the construction of our own identity, and the impact it has on us. 

The power of "I" is in knowing it, not in knowing it as we've constructed the image of "I". A lot of times, our understanding of ourselves - as we refer to as "I" is clouded with biases. In that spirit, we intend to ask the question Who is "I"?

In this digital world, we're governed by algorithms. Right from content consumption to our buying habits, from personal data monitoring to tracking of our emotions, everything seems to be using algorithms to control our being. But, is that really true? Were there algorithms even before the computer codes that read our minds? Are there algorithms present in a world outside of a digital world - a real world that we live in?

One thing that is constantly going on along with our breath is language. And if you are, in your head wondering, "what are they talking about?", that very thought is happening in language. We think, observe, emote, feel, experience, and narrate in language. Yet, language is never taken seriously - be it in our education or in our day-to-day life. In this conversation, we look at unleashing the power and the potential of language.
