Farmer Protest, Bitcoin and Perfectionism

This is the first episode for this year. In this episode I talk about the Farmer's protest(update, ground reality and my opinion), the fuss about bitcoin and last but not the least, a study that I came across last week about the problems with being a perfectionist. Usually being a perfectionist is seen as a good thing but the study found that it is directly linked with burnout, anxiety and depression.

Hello everyone! After a taking a long break, I am back with a special episode in which I share an incident from the past. I share an excerpt from the time when i was forced to join a friend of mine to a meet-up that encouraged people to extract the writers within.

How to build any habit | किसी भी आदत को कैसे बनाया जाए

There is no question about the fact that good habits are a must have when it comes to success in life. Similarly, bad habits are the leading cause of failure. There are a lot of books out there that talk about the importance of good habits or what can good habits lead to. You can also find a lot of you tube videos of people as well that talk about good habits, or good habits of successful people. But the problem is, they just talk! They do not provide any solutions or action items on how to build a habit or how to make the habits stick in long run. Because, if you have ever tried building a habit, you would know how difficult it is to start in the first place and then sticking to it. In this video, I talk about HOW TO BUILD ANY HABIT EASILY and HOW TO MAKE ANY HABIT STICK in long run. I hope you will learn something from the video and it will help you move towards your goal one step at a time.

Importance of Ownership in Life

The ones who are able to give up the habit of blaming and complaining, tend to be happy, in control and more successful than others. Pointing the finger of blame turns you into a bystander in your life. You become powerless and lose all control over your life. But when you do the opposite and take the ownership, it gives you complete control over your life.

How to deal with Failures and Setbacks

Failures and Setbacks are a part of life. Although they do hurt, make you frustrated and disappointed but they don't define you. How you deal with them and keep moving on is what defines you. This episode is a no non-sense advice from my personal experience. It's short and straight forward. It is simple yet time consuming because you have to develop a habit. I give total credit of this episode to my family and my very close friends as they are the one who taught me how to get back up in tough times. Nothing from a "positive thinking" book. Totally a practical approach.

Stop wasting your life - On shortness of life by Seneca (in Hindi)

Time is the most important non-renewable resource in our life and Seneca, one of the greatest stoics of his time, tells us that our life is not actually short. It is on us how we utilize that time Seneca explores the nature of time and more specifically, how we waste it on meaningless and vacuous tasks. Seneca offers us some solutions on how we can escape this trap and instead learn how to live a significant life that we will be proud to look back upon when we grow old
