I'm in conversation with a very special guest today - Anika Sharma, an aspiring lawyer, an animal rights activist, and a social worker. She is associated with a number of NGO(s) dedicated to promoting animal welfare and raising a voice against animal cruelty. Anika believes in wearing her Indic Identity with pride on her sleeves.
In this episode we talk about her take on the insides of the legal careers, both good and the not so good aspects of the field. I’m sure you would not only enjoy her insights but also feel inspired by her thoughts.

I'm once again in conversation with Sparsh Nitin who is a student, content creator, TEDx speaker and an Indic wing activist. Sparsh has been running a Youtube channel ‘Happy Reading And Exploring’, where he talks about a plethora of interesting things. He’s already given a TEDx talk at such an early stage in his career, and I’m sure you’d enjoy his views.
Welcome to a brand new episode of Timeless Perspectives! I'm once again in conversation with my friend Stephanie, all the way from the US. Stephanie is a very experienced ESL (English as a secondary language) Trainer at Hallo, an avid reader, a Blogger and a Linguistics student. Very soon, Stephanie is going to be a published author! We’re discussing a very serious concern as to why the youth of modern times is far from reading literature as compared to previous times. Stephanie feels it is a mix of reasons such as information explosion due to digital revolution, easy distractions due to social media, our reduced attention span, and perhaps (controversially) the type of literature produced in modern times.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did!

I'm once again in an amazingly thought-provoking conversation with my friend Ananya, on the practice of Ostracism or Canceling people for voicing differing/dissenting opinions. The cancel culture mostly has negative connotations in the age of Free Speech activism. My friend Ananya, is currently pursuing a B.Des in Fashion and Apparel from Footwear Design and Development Institute. She is bold, opinionated, unapologetic and extremely outspoken, and someone whom I really admire.
Due to the advent of social media, it seems to have become very easy to cancel someone who doesn't conform to a set narrative. However, this weaponizing of the cancel culture is being widely questioned by advocates of freedom of speech, exposing the hypocrisy of the canceling mob. Ananya and I discuss this issue with a very balanced approach weighing it on its merits and demerits.
Tell us in the comments what do you think about the Cancel Culture and whether you think it's been monopolized by a few?
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did!

I'm once again in conversation with my friend Stephanie, all the way from the US. Stephanie is a very experienced ESL (English as a secondary language) Trainer at Hallo, an avid reader, a Blogger and a Linguistics student.
We are having a conversation on a very abstract kind of a topic- mimimalism. Due to the advent of social media and people's inclination to live a more content and meaningful life, everybody seems to be running behind minimalistic lifesyle. However, do we understand minimalism in its entirety? And most importantly, is the popular understanding of minimalism, fundamentally true?
Stephanie takes a very balanced appraoch in trying to explain the merits and demerits of minimalism, and how to consider minimalism as a mindset instead of a mindful.
Send me your messages on Instagram @_shreyashsharma about what do you think about minimalism and whether you'd incorporate it in your life or not?

I'm in conversation with a highly ambitious, unapologetically honest and outspoken personality; Tanya Srivastava. She is a writer, a debater, a student activist and a great friend of mine. We write for the same blogsite, and finally I have managed to bring her on my channel. Some of her blogs have been really controversial and she is always open for a rebuttal.
In this episode, Tanya talks about the social media beauty cult and it's catastrophic consequence on the mental health of people across all ages. With the digital revolution, social media has become a very important part of our life. So much that we have entered what Tanya calls a 'Social Media Utopia' and everyone is just looking for validation online, and in that effort damaging their mental and even physical health.

I'm in conversation with Sparsh Nitin who is a student, a blogger, a YouTuber, and a Hindu human rights activist. Sparsh has been running a successful Youtube channel ‘HRE: Happy Reading And Exploring’, where he talks primarily about Hinduism and a plethora of other intriguing issues.
We are having a conversation on a topic which is of my personal interest, Sanatana dharma. However, we are discussing something broader and deeper. The constant detachment of Hindu youth from its religious identity is really bothersome. In this episode Sparsh, from his own experiences, tries to explain as to why the Hindu youth finds its religion uncool, and more importantly how to fix this problem.

Host: Alina Safir
"Judging others makes us blind,whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Are you judgy? Well, Not many people would be aware even if they were, isn't it easy for people to form an opinion about a person without knowing the entire story? Yet they often forget about how it stops them from opening up and how it dumps their self esteem! I believe there are very few people who would actively want to upset others, Right? What can you do if you feel misunderstood?
Hey there! My name is Alina Safir and I welcome you to yet another amazing episode of "Timeless Perspectives" where I'll be sharing my opinion on how to react next time you’re feeling the urge to be a little “judgy” of others.

Timeless Perspectives! Episode 09 Might Is Right! Host: Aditi Dwivedi This gripping expression has always been a bleak reality since ages. We humans have testified situations and provocations where "Survival of the fittest!" has been an extensive certainty. If mysteries of history are unfolded, we come to know how true and factual is the above stated idiom. This is an unquestionable verity that the most authoritative conquers and rules since the question of right and wrong remains unimportant. Kingdoms were invaded by the powerful monarchs and humanity was put to test over and over again. Weak was subdued and the one with utmost clout thrived. Might is right or not doesn't matter, but no-one has the dauntlessness to go against the might, hence might is right.Read full blog at: https://www.shreyashsblog.com/post/mi...

There are a thousand coincidences taking place daily with a lot of people. But you know what's the scariest part, that you never know when a coincidence might happen with you. I was also a very chilled out person like you who never believed in mysteries and never expected that anything strange could happen with me as well, until one unforeseen day in my life. Hi there, my name is Shreyash and you’re listening to Timeless Perspectives. The story you are listening to titles Night, Walk & the Murder.Find me on:Instagram: @_shreyashsharmaFacebook: @opinionatedssTwitter: @_shreyash_Koo App: @_shreyashYouTube: Shreyash and Aditi
Timeless Perspectives!Episode 04IHost: Aditi DwivediThis is not just a pronoun but also a very mighty expression, that exhibits vanity and haughtiness occasionally. When an individual postulates that he is the most authoritative and unparalleled, life can be full of thunderbolts. We perceive number of examples where this expression 'I' becomes the stumbling block. This is a hatchet for those who don't value team effort, solidarity and benevolence, so it's a stable belief of self exaggeration, manifested with imperative claims. Such a person is in the habit of belittling others with or without reasons, so he firmly holds the opinion that goodness is not the only way to achievements. However, he speculates dark strategies and may intimidate others to accomplish his desires, therefore, 'I' conveys arrogance, atrocity, temptation and the list is incessant.Find me on:Instagram: @aditi.d2257Facebook: Aditi DwivediYouTube: Shreyash and Aditi

You know what, today something strange happened to me. It was when I was unconsciously turning the pages of the newspaper, as a part of my ritualistic attitude towards my days, like a sudden jerk, this headline brought me back from my vortex where I unwillingly slipped into. It's titled ‘Workation’, now that's something which struck me hard, since I never heard that before.Find me on: Instagram: @shreyashsharma Facebook: @opinionatedss Twitter: @shreyash Koo App: @shreyash YouTube: Shreyash and Aditi
Timeless Perspectives! Episode 02 Are We Raising a Generation of Burned Out Children? Host: Aditi DwivediThe term Burnout implies desecration caused due to platitudinous jobs which leads to complete exhaustion and weariness. Reminiscence of growing years are always cherished by us, hence, it must be brimming with exquisite and delightful notions. Well! It all depends on the kind of childhood one has assimilated and encountered. If a child gets a wholesome and healthy upbringing, he may flourish and thrive, and may win laurels for his generations. He may stride and pave the way for his achievements. On the contrary if he is rebuked, always expected to be the jack of all trades, it may lead to sabotaging his future, and the damage caused could be irreparable. It's an age of aggressive competition and if a child is always expected to be extraordinary, he may get into perturbed and unsettled state of mind.Find me on: Instagram: @aditi.d2257 Facebook: Aditi Dwivedi YouTube: Shreyash and Aditi
