Saksham Chhabra: Office By Day, Community By Night
4w ago01:18:03Tap to summarizeWhat happens when you move countries for a Master’s, land a full-time job, and _still_ choose to build something for others on the weekends? In this episode, I sit down with Shaksham. He came to Ireland for higher studies, navigated the job hunt, burnout, and loneliness, and ended up creating a community that organizes treks and meetups for students and young professionals. We talk about the reality of life abroad — chasing career goals while trying to feel at home, dealing with self-doubt, and finding balance when no one’s watching. No perfect answers, just honest conversations about growth, grit, and building connection far from home.

Karan Jadhav : Messy Middle Path
Jul 201:03:47Tap to summarizeI’m not here as an expert, just someone who’s been confused for years. Most of us get into spirituality through curiosity, or because life breaks us first. For me it was curiosity, then chaos, and now habit keeps me going. Since 12th grade I’ve lived between two worlds: praying with my heart vs meditating with discipline. I gave years to each, tried both together, and it was a mess. Forcing myself to be ‘spiritual’ when burnt out made me quit everything for months. That’s when I learned you can’t push this on others, or bully yourself into it. There’s no one right way — only what feels real to you. Now I care less about perfect and more about showing up, even on bad days. No answers here, just my road so far.

Vikhyath Bhat: Unlocking Raag Gana
Jun 2101:05:36Tap to summarizeWelcome to today’s episode. I’m Vikhyath Bhat, and we’re going on a journey through *Raag Gana* — the living, breathing grammar of Indian Classical Music.We’ll start at the roots: where Raag Gana came from and how it evolved over centuries. Then we’ll break down the fundamentals — the core concepts every listener should know, even if you’ve never studied music.Ever wondered why some ragas feel perfect at dawn, and others only make sense at midnight? We’ll unpack *Time Theory* — how ragas are tied to hours and seasons. And we’ll explore *Rasa* — the emotion-science behind every raga. Because each one isn’t just a scale. It’s a mood.We’ll also peek behind the curtain at the *unwritten grammar*: the rules, the ornamentations, the little details musicians use to bring a raga alive. Then we’ll look at *Bandish architecture* — how compositions are built to serve the raga, not the other way around.And finally, we’ll bring it to today. How does *Raag Gana live now* — tradition vs modern adaptation. Plus a *Listener’s Guide* so you can actively appreciate it, not just hear it as background.So whether you’re new to classical music or you’ve grown up with it, stay with me. By the end of this episode, you won’t just _listen_ to a raga. You’ll _understand_ it.Let’s begin.
