Being the only female Oud player in concerts and performances which are dominated by men, Amal Waqar and I discuss about dealing with Imposter Syndrome.   We begin the episode with a wonderful performance by her of one of her own composition.  

Diving into her journey, speaking of her multi cultured background, her love for Oud, her understanding of inclusiveness and recognizing the efforts she is putting in to pave the way for many. This is one of my favorite conversations.   

Please watch it and let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.   

About Amal: 

Amal Waqar is a young, dynamic Indo-Omani and Colombian-American oud player, composer, and vocalist. Starting her musical journey at fifteen through events and performances with local groups, including the Oman Oud Hobbyists Association, Amal has experienced multiple metamorphoses over her brief career. Mainly studying and performing Classical Arabic and folk styles until the global pandemic, Amal has now switched her focus to developing her own experimental sound inspired by pop, avant-garde, and Arab folk styles.

It's Father's Day today and I am so delighted to interview my favorite man, my Father.  He is my rock and continues to inspire me on a daily basis. He is my best friend, my guide, my mentor, someone I look up to in every situation of life.   Of course he is my Father, but above all, he is an incredible human being. A go getter, a self believer, someone who has lived his life on his own terms, served many, kept family as a top priority, driven, a yes man and a lot more; he is Parmanand aka PD Naravani.  Listen to this episode as he shares how he failed business after business and never gave up because he had a GOAL.  #YouAreHumanWithJagruti #Father'sDaySpecial #HaveGoals

You Are Human with Jagruti is a one stop Podcast that ensures learning from real stories and experiences.  Each Human on this Show shares their real life journey and their beliefs that work as self improvement and self help guides.

I began this Show in 2020 amidst the lockdown; to bring out stories from those around me to inspire me first and hopefully inspire all those who are listening or watching.   So far #YouAreHumanWithJagruti has focused on topics related to Self Belief, Self Acceptance, Mental Heath, Self Care, Fitness, Career, Spirituality, Parenthood and a lot more.  Today #YouAreHumanWithJagruti has created a platform for all those who have a story to share. It is a show where I host Omani Nationals and Expats and try digging out their secrets to success, happiness and peace.  Every conversation is a learning experience which then inspires and motivates to practice the learnings.  Go through the playlist and I am sure you will find something that will resonate with you and hopefully answer the questions you have at the moment.

Acid Attack is a heinous crime which is prevalent worldwide. In Today's episode with me is the Co-Founder of Chhanv Foundation, Ashish Shukla who along with Alok Dixit started Stop Acid Attacks Campaign nearly a decade ago.  Since then, they have collectively played an integral role in bringing out changes in the legal system, raised voices, fought for justice, gave hope to survivors and their families,  got many treated and have empowered the survivors too. They started a conversation that was not even considered before.  

Along with him, I have Kunti, Farha and Pramodini, three Acid Attack Survivors, who were attacked at young ages by their husbands and lover.  The purpose was to destroy them, but these courageous women are today rising from their burns and working towards achieving their dreams. Their spirit is indeed contagious and their will is unbreakable.   

We all can do our part in helping these survivors by: 

* Talking about this 

* Raising Awareness 

* Contributing to the Fundraiser and the Foundation 

* Empowering the survivors by giving them jobs, teaching them a new skill, assisting them to start their own businesses  

Possibilities are endless. Help and support as every bit counts.

In today's episode is with me Oliver Allan, a Brit who has grown up in the Gulf region, spending most of his childhood in Oman.  He talks about a phase wherein he found difficulty in identifying with himself, and how he resonates so well with Arabic culture and Islam. He speaks fluent Arabic and has immersed himself into the local culture. Oliver teaches both Arabic and English as a second language.   

Watch the Episode to know more about his journey and also to realize that we all can create our own identities, we do not have to follow whatever we are born with. If something connects within, just pursue it.

"In the end, we are all Stories." I believe in this and so does my guest - Abdullah Al Maawali. He is the founder of 'True Story Tent' - A story telling platform in the Middle East. While his platform has connected many through their stories, he has learned from this journey that the art of story telling and story sharing does more for the story teller than the listeners.  In this episode he shares his favorite story from his life and also tries to turn the table around by wearing the host cap and asking me some impromptu questions.   We had so much fun throughout this conversation. Hope you like it and hope it gives you something in return of the time you invest to watch it. :))

Being someone who lives for today and doesn't plan the future, this episode is really a gamechanger for me.  Understanding the power of having a vision and planning your moves in a way so as to achieve that vision, is one of the important takes from my today's guest - Said AlBusaidi. He also emphasis on having Love and Logic run hand in hand by giving his own personal life's examples.  Watch the episode and let me know our thoughts!  Don't forget to Subscribe to my Channel please.
