Bhutanese Babblings: Recent Episodes
Tashi Dendup
Well, nothing much, and nothing less. Just some random babblings of an ordinary Bhutanese.
And with this, I'm teaching myself to talk and all the audios are extemporaneous unless specified. I can't wait to find out how much I've progressed 20, 30 or even 100 episodes later.
I talk about my faddism for English in brief including the first time I fell for English as a subject in school.
We all have this little longing inside us to go somewhere unknown to escape from this world even though it's just momentary. In this segment, I take on vanity and what leads us there.
By design, humans are built to err. That's when we tend to hurt others and ourselves too and yet we take it so hard on ourselves that we never see it apt on our part to forgive or seek forgiveness. So in this segment, I take on 'forgiveness'.
I've left my job as an educator in a quest for a yet another calling. So I'm trying to rebuild and repurpose myself to acclimate to whatever calling I'm headed towards. The talk "A two-way quest and its perils" by Ken Robinson has come in handy in this journey. So I felt like reading it loud here. Enjoy listening.
In this segment, I just free-talk with no particular area in focus. Interestingly, I also shed some light on what's happening lately in my life.
Unlike animals, it's us humans who need motivation from time to time to carry on with our lives. It becomes quite a drag otherwise, innit? So in the segment, I take on 'motivation'.
Having come 7 episodes far, I felt like looking back and reflecting on my podcasting journey. It's given me so much in my attempt to "teach myself to talk".
Life gets pretty busy on our journey into making our living so much that it takes a toll on us. We lose the very human nature as humans and the worst of all, we also lose our smiles-our basic prerogative and our most fundamental characteristic as humans that sets us apart from the other species.
What matters to you? This question has certainly struck you at one point of time or the other. But, how did you answer it? Or have you answered it at all?
In this segment, I talk about the importance of books or rather, simply 'books'. Books have the potential to transform us way beyond than we think we are likely to...and eventually make us better individuals. So let's commit ourselves to bringing out the best in ourselves through this 'treasure trove'.
In this segment, I take on 'criticisms', something as much as we love to give but hate it just as much to receive.
As this rookie in me podcasts for the second time, I take on 'what's life?' This is one question every soul asks and they do have their own take. However, I'm not quite sure how much of clarity we all have surrounding 'life and its conundrums'.
Intro - My first podcasting and was both excited and nervous. But, I'm sure I will grow with time and I look forward to seeing that come in me.
