Jhandu Baam With Jha Neha: Recent Episodes
Neha Jha
Headaches and Baams go together, right? I'm one! But no balm (or baam) ever works on me. When you have an overthinking mind, what else can you do but try to put in all efforts to make sense of it. I use my voice and sometimes a rather ordinary face to do it. This time, I'll stick to one. Get in if you are a headache like me.

Guilty of overthinking and ruining whatever you have? Me too! The current times have caused us to deal with the mess of Overthinking with a lot more frequency and intensity than we used to.

In this episode, we get into the very origin of our inability to deal with any uncertainty that comes at us, right from our student days because of a dilapidated system that missed out on teaching the very essence of How to Cope; Why our students might not be staring at a bright future ahead with unstable mental health and thinking of ways to find a solution to this Jhand in our lives, especially with COVID-19 around.
In the very first episode, we begin with why podcast can be about just one person, going solo with all selfishness. Why facilitation through conducting interviews is not always a good idea, the many identities that you can have and of course pandemic ka gyaan followed by documentation karna iss time pe kyun zaruri hai?
