Sneak Peek Into My Podcast Routine

Podcasts have been one of the latest addition to my attempts at creating a healthier and happier lifestyle. During one of our lunch time conversations, Sachin Sir (one of my office colleagues and Seniors) had suggested us to listen to Podcasts in our free times. I remember him telling us that listening to audios rather than music can help improve concentration. 

It had seemed like a good idea to at least experiment with. But, soon it become a part of my daily routines. While I had begin with following quite a bunch, I finally settled for 3 Things and On Purpose. While first one helps me to stay updated, the other keeps me motivated. 


3 Things by the Indian Express

Despite my many journalistic ambitions, I have often struggled with getting fond of all the latest news.  I have often found myself on the verge of dozing off trying to read news during my numerous attempts in my university and post graduation years. 

Not that I am proud of it, but I have finally given up on the notion that we can directly go from Zero to 100. Getting on to Podcast and fumbling on 3 Things have been a perfect way to begin. 

It has finally helped me stay updated with the latest news and actually offers a more balanced analysis of the major news events of the day. Moreover, Indian Express had been my first ever professional organisation and have been one of the more credible news organisations we have in the country. Additionally, being their constant listener finally allowed me to think beyond Print and think about the many opportunities in New Media too. 

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Self help and inspirational content has been one of those not so cool things that I like. I was exposed to Jay Shetty's quotes from a friend's repost. However, eventually knowing that he had been a monk for three years futher ignited my curiosity. 

I don't remember my journey into his podcasts. But, soon after I listened to a few Podcasts, I fell in love with the show. I genuinely enjoy the format and the fact he brings to us successful people from all walks of people. 

Moreover, his second weekly shows of tips offers so many great yet simple and practical tips to incorporate in our lives. I am definitely quite far behind as I began sequentially from the first. And it's definitely at least an year of catching up to the already growing series. 

While it's difficult to incorporate all the suggested tips but it has definitely helped me  learn quite a lot and stay motivated on my rough days during the Pandemic. 

So, that's about my favourite Podcasts and daily dose of motivation. What about yours?

Strange...

Today I got to know something about Korea that I thought was really strange. Gambling is generally prohibted for Koreans. Hailey told us that there is a huge Cassino in Korea where Koreans are not allowed to enter. It is only for the Foreigners or Koreans that have an American citizenship. In case of many clubs the situation is completely opposite. Lawrence told us that there are a lot of clubs which are meant for Koreans only and Foreigners are not allowed there. I found it really weird because I don't think there is any such similiar thing in India.

First Sunset in South Korea

Date- 01/09/2017 I love watching sunsets. In the evening I was feeling a little upset so just went to the ground. I walked a bit and then sat on the grass for a while. While sitting there, I noticed sun was about to set so I began to notice. I wasn't really in the mood and did not really enjoy it much but felt good to notice the sunset after long. I did not had much to do today. In the morning, we went for the Induction of Korean language class. Professor Park Sun Kyu is going to be our teacher for the Korean language class. Initially, I just hated the Korean language when I tried to speak a few Korean words through some apps back in India. But after coming here and learning a couple of words I am beginning to enjoy it. I also learnt how to introduce myself in Korean. Now I really want to learn Korean. I think its gonna be fun. Our classes will be starting from monday and I will be selecting my courses tomorrow. I am feeling really sleepy right now so good night guys. 😊 ...

Stop Expecting Them To Understand!

Source - Pixabay The advice we empathetically present to our friends is often the same ones we learnt too late, at a cost we wish wasn't so huge. As you tell them that not all has been lost and their worth and what they bring to the table is way beyond the biggest of their dreams and worst of their failings they may have known. Yet in your own shoes, besides all the words you throw around to sooth your heart ache, you often feel defeated and lost beyond despair.  You finally woke up but knowing that it probably is already too late doesn't really help your sleep. Nor does it do much to help you get out of bed as suddenly you begin to wake up with the worst of your fears each day. There is so much you know today; you just wish you had garnered enough will yesterday. But, I guess Bob Marley was right when he said, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice."  © Source: Quotespedia Me being me, I didn't come back to my senses untill all...
