Hey Everyone! In this episode I will be talking about a lot of mindful interesting topics that I use and practice day in and day out. Here I will mostly talk about the importance of knowing your privileges, and having a privilege check in your life to appreciate what you have. The main point I try to make is for everyone to constantly find people that prove them wrong, people who break your disbeliefs about a situation that you currently feel is impossible. Have a listen and DM me and let me know your thoughts.

Every single human being that has ever walked this earth, lived in the most advanced world in their life times, regardless the time period they lived in. Human beings are the most intelligent species on ‘this’ planet, and part of what makes us special is this unique ability to imagine and recollect memories from the past and reflect on them. Our ability to imagine is what has got us this far. But have you ever wondered what people in the past thought, this present day would look like? In this interesting episode, we will learn about what people of the 1900’s were imagining about, and also why I feel our predictions about the future can never be accurate and realistic.
Sir C.V. Raman, the first Indian to win the Nobel Prize for Physics, was a scientist par excellence. Even as a child he was a brilliant mind, as he topped throughout his academic days. He was deeply interested in research; in fact he began his research work on optics and acoustics even while he was a student. He was intrigued by the blue color of glaciers and the Mediterranean sea and wanted to unravel the mystery of why water, a colorless liquid, appeared blue to the eyes. Thus began a series of experiments on the scattering of light which ultimately led to what came to be known as the ‘Raman Effect’ for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. We do not get to see people like Sir. Raman very often, so lets dive deep into his life and learn form his greatness.

There is not one single Human being dead or alive who were born successful. Every single one of these greatness started of as a nobody who acquired the right knowledge on their path to success.

So, in an episode from this segments we will dive into the life of one great personality and learn life itself. So let us "Study The Greats and become the Greatest".
We often think there is a certain path to success, like “if I get this degree, then ill finally have that dream job, from there I’ll find success”. But in reality, there exists no such thing as a path to success, if there is anything close to that, then it is hard work and doing what you love. Unlike few, majority of the successful people don’t fixate on a certain thing to find success. They are not afraid to fail as they embark on new adventures. All we see is their current success and not their countless failures before that. We all have the same 24 hours, but those 24 hours aren’t the same for everybody. So let us all learn to get the most out of our 24 hours.

So quarantine yourself, and let us all flatten the curve together and pull through this pandemic. Also, utilize the time in isolation efficiently :)

The instant thoughts that comes up are corruption, greed, biased, dirty cheap tricks etc. But that should not be the reason why we should not involve ourselves in politics, especially when it decides how we all lead our lives and what we do. We are the ones with the power, which is to vote! So, it is us, who should be more involved consciously, exercising our rights to bring about any change we wish to see. Or else, we are at the mercy of someone else's dissensions.

Once we step into the working phase of our lives, we easily get caught up in it, like a fish in a net. But taking time off, travelling could be a one stop solution to all off your problems. I truly believe we can rediscover ourselves, get motivated, appreciate life more when we travel.
