Adolescent Anecdotes: Recent Episodes
Bhavesh Shaha
Bhavesh Shaha started the Adolescent Anecdotes Podcast to discuss serious topics and bash the Indian Education System whilst having fun amongst other teenagers in a candid manner.
Adolescent Anecdotes Podcast aims to promote knowledge and literacy to young teenagers whilst keeping in entertaining. We have discussed school life, stress, NCERT books, teenage dating life, racism, economics, finance, and the Indian educational curriculum.
The video podcast for teenagers is also available on my YouTube Channel @ Basically Bhavesh.

I would suggest watching the video podcast though - it's funnier there.
In this podcast, we go through the Indian education system which systematically oppresses the young entrepreneurs and suppresses the fact that there are various alternatives to make money other than having a job where you work for others or being in academics.
We talk about whether money gives us happiness, how money-generating assets is a life-changes if you want to be rich and not worry about money. The multiple streams of money which can be cultivated in your life by developing new skills from scratch etc.

Ritzy shares his experience of being in the rap community, his dreams of being a global figure in the hiphop industry. Listen as he narrates how he was exposed to this amazing genre along with Bhavesh Shaha.
I genuinely love this episode since the flow is so good! He was a very good sport and was kind enough to collab with me! He is very engaging and is one of the best story-tellers in this platform. Y'all should definitely check his stuff out if you still haven't.
Ritvick is one of my first online friends and it has been an honour to see him evolve into a soon-to-be global superstar. In this podcast, we talk about how we were part of these online social media from a very young age, how we endured jerks and how we also acted like jerks.
WHY DO YOU ALL CALL ME A NERD!?
We go through the replies and comments of people.
Adriel exposes me by calling me a nerd who has playboy tendencies i.e a new sasta breed of humans. A cross-over between a e-boy, vsco-boy, and f-boi; with a tinge of teacher's pet and a crapload of studiousness.
My whole brand is based on people calling me a nerd. I was extremely shy and reserved in my earlier classes. Since high school started, I've tried to remedy that and be someone fun with a unique personality.
At the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with being a nerd if you are having fun studying and if you don't generally like going out often. It is always advisable to have friends and companions throughout your life to keep you sane but that's just my view.
You have the freedom of expression but your views and expressions shall be judged. If you can live with that, do what you want. At the same time, people shouldn't judge others by calling derogatory terms, it's better to be a nerd than a stupid bumbling idiot.
There is nothing wrong with giving attention to academics, there is nothing wrong in not being a fan of parties or hangouts or other social activities. Obviously, you'll have to deal with it but at the same time, you are not supposed to be bullied for it.
The second episode was kind enough to receive Adriana Toi as our guest. She is doing her second year in fashion designing at NIFT Mumbai.
She talks about battling highschool life, going through depression and stabilizing your mental health. She's been through a lot and it is wise for us to learn from her experiences.
Adolescent Anecdotes is a podcast that I started after being influenced by Aditya, who was influenced by Two Peas in a Pod. Harigovind was kind enough to kickstart the pilot episode.
We talk about his junior's encounters with the great stage of adolescence, the nerd culture and how this future is shaping us, sigh.
