Coffee Table Stories

I read this article or newsletter a few days back and it triggered some thoughts, one reason being I wasn't completely convinced with what was written and then I thought let's just try sharing my perspective on the subject.. as you can understand from the title we talked about what we call our identity

I know Manjari for more than a decade and we have witnessed each other's journey sometimes closely and sometimes from a distance as life allowed. And being a foodie I just couldn't help not having a podcast on Coffee Table Stories about good food and who better to interact than with a chef itself.

Our conversation will take you down the memory lanes of childhood, will activate taste buds , we will revisit Nani Dadi era together and a conversation about food is always incomplete if you're not talking about your Mom and her cooking and ofcourse your tantrums !!

All 3 of us have spent good enough years on earth and have experienced disability and the all its aspects from a first person perspective. And this conversation is not only about how society looks at it but also from the perspective of a person with disability, their mindset when it comes to dating and also the social condition they have been subjected too. Like all other needs emotional security & sexual desires are equally important for a person with disability. They hit the puberty and go through all of those hormonal turbulence as well.. Lol, then why we don't consider it important. Why emotional wellbeing is our last priority.. that's when we felt we need to get a discussion going and more from the India social perspective.

Hi Everyone, I am glad to be back with the new season on Coffee Table Stories. We promise this season will have more hard hitting content, themes, stories & conversations. In the first episode I am narrating one of my most favorite story from the book I'm reading these days named 'Psychology of Money'. I recommend this book to all not just to improve your relationship with Money but most of the fundamentals from this book applies to life in general as well.

Also, my sincere request to all of you to subscribe, like and share my podcast with others. Your support will help me reach to those whom I might not be able to reach otherwise. Thank you and take care until we meet for the next episode.

My friends as I'm rushing towards my 40s I really feel that there are important yet very basic facts and knowledge I didn't have in my early 20s or when I was in the early stage of my earning journey. If I knew certain things and had I planned my investments in a different way I would have made a much bigger corpus of funds that I currently have. One can actually become a crorepati with just few basic principles of investing. I want to talk about those things in this short and solo episode of Coffee Table Stories. I feel financial planning is very important for financial independence and hence is a very important life skill which should be taught in the early years and one should not just be left on fate and experience to decide.I have shared by own financial debacles in this episode so that those who are listening can learn.

• Meditation - not a magic pill (revolving door concept)

• Book, Gratitude and Fungi

• how to catch yourself overthinking

• Attachments and detachments

As Vikrant says one should have the board of directors in their life, ofcourse a different person for a different situation. Someone who is available and most importantly not judgemental when you discuss things with them. I found one of my ‘Board of Director’ in my ex super boss, he has been a coach, a mentor & a ‘Go to’ person for me and also someone who understands human psychology from a very practical but a perspective which is equally balanced by science and spirituality. Presenting you first part of the two part conversation where we discuss:

#GriefTrauma – What should be our responsibility when tragedy or loss comes our way

What is #Contagioneffect - is it real?

What are some of the Softer assets that we need to acquire - A good #Pysch, A good #coach, #Reading, Wisdom of the old world - #ayahuasca #magicmushrooms

In the next episode the conversation will be even more intense and deep, keep listening to us.

I think about this a lot of times that what if everything we know or believe until now is just nothing, what if I exist in 100 other parallel universes. Does my consciousness knows everything already but I can't picture that because my mind can not interpret that information and a lot of such questions keep bouncing in my head. Here is one such conversation with a friend. #podcast #videopodcast #paralleluniverse #deep #dope #ourexistence #alternatereality #timetravel #mindfulness #spirituality #content #amazonprime #interview #podcastersofinstagram #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #creators #podcasters #radioshow #applepodcasts #podcastshow

Like every youngster I too had my experiences and some of the learnings I had through them. Some of the resources which are available now, I wish were available then.

I thought of sharing 5 of such aspects with my younger friends so that they can leverage this toolkit now. You don't always have to learn from your experiences you can learn from others' experiences too !!

Please leave your feedback in the comments below about this, it would mean a world to know your thoughts.
