ಎಲ್ಲ ಕಡೆ ಈ ಮಾತು ಕೇಳಿ ಬರುತ್ತೆ: ನಮಗೆ ಟೈಮೇ ಇಲ್ಲ... ನಾವು ಆಫ಼ೀಸಿನ ಕೆಲ್ಸದಲ್ಲಿ ತುಂಬಾ ಬ್ಯುಸಿ, ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ. ನಿಜವಾಗ್ಲೂ ಜನಗಳ ಹತ್ರ ಟೈಮೇ ಇಲ್ವೇ? ಅಂತ ಯೋಚಿಸ್ದಾಗ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಕುತೂಹಲವೂ ಆಯ್ತು, ಮತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಕಳವಳವೂ ಅದರ ಹಿಂದೇನೇ ಮೂಡಿ ಬಂತು. ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಜನ ತಮ್ಮ ಮಾತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಾವು ಆ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ನೋಡಿದ್ವಿ, ಈ ಸೀರಿಯಲ್/ವೆಬ್ ಸೀರೀಸ್ ನೋಡಿದ್ವಿ, ಹಾಗಿತ್ತು ಹೀಗಿತ್ತು ಅಂತ ಮಾತಾಡ್ತಿರ್ತಾರೆ. In this episode, I explore the concept of "timelessness." It seems that everyo...

ಇವತ್ತಿನ ಟಾಪಿಕ್ ಸೀಜ಼ನ್ನುಗಳ ಬಣ್ಣನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವುಗಳ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ಹೆಣೆಯೋ ಅನುಭವವನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಳಿ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳೋದು, ಅಷ್ಟೇ. ನಮ್ಮ ನ್ಯೂ ಜೆರ್ಸಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವರ್ಷದ ಎಲ್ಲ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಸೀಜ಼ನ್‌ಗಳು ಕೂಡ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಅನುಭವಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುತ್ತವೆ. ಒಂದು ಸೀಜ಼ನ್‌ನಿಂದ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಸೀಜ಼ನ್‌ಗೆ ಕರಾರುವಾಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಸಮಯ, temperature, ಹಾಗೂ ಗಿಡಮರ-ಪರಿಸರಗಳೆಲ್ಲ ಬದಲಾಗ್ತಾವೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಆಲೋಚನೆಯ ರೀತಿಯೇ ಒಂದು ರೀತಿ ವಿಶೇಷವಾದದ್ದು ಅಂತ ಅನ್ನಿಸಿದ್ದು ಇವತ್ತು. ನಾವು ಕೆಟ್ಟ ವಿಂಟರ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಸಿಗೆ ಕಾಲವನ್ನು ಎಷ...

The last forty days of the Trump administration can be called a significant chapter. From the day the administration was handed over in January until today, it seems as if the Trump administration is continuing as if their term is ending tomorrow." In my opinion, Trump and Musk should put their plans on hold for a while. They should slow down before they disrupt every sector and leave families des...

In today's episode, I explore the concept of Capitalism, focusing on how our upbringing intersects with and diverges from capitalist principles. Interestingly, not all languages and cultures have a word for "risk." This absence doesn't imply a lack of risk-taking behavior but rather highlights that the concepts of risk, risk management, and risk mitigation are deeply rooted in capitalist ideology....

In this episode, I discuss the state of happiness or being happy! What makes you happy? Is your happiness different? And is it dependent on someone else? I further the components of happiness, exploring how individual factors and external influences can shape our overall well-being. I also look at the differences between happy and not-so-happy states of mind. Happiness, while often perceived as a...

In this episode, I delve into the common phrase "Take care!" and why it's more than just a casual farewell in American conversations. Often used similarly to "See you later," this phrase carries a deeper message: it reminds you to prioritize your own well-being because the system won't do it for you. From Investment Advisors to Bankers, Insurance Agents to Medical Professionals, and Real Estate Ag...

What is good? An isolated nuclear family or a family with plenty of relatives? In this episode, I delve into the inner workings and values of joint families and extended relatives. I examine the benefits of maintaining close familial ties within a supportive environment, which fosters comprehensive personality development. While acknowledging the positive aspects of nuclear family settings, I argu...

It's ok! Studies show that about 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by mid-February. Only less than 10% of the people who make such resolutions achieve their goals by year-end. All resolutions are not the same, and some are even baseless... I am a runner, you can't just make a "resolution" that I will increase my running pace by 10% without a plan to get there... I know, how...

In this episode, I marvel at how Presidents Biden and Trump remain so energetic and active in their advanced years. Consider any world leader in their 70s or 80s—they work tirelessly to achieve their position and continue to exert tremendous effort to stay active. I got this thought when I saw Prime Minister Modi meeting President Trump at the White House today. What fuels their energy? How do the...

In this episode, I express my profound disbelief and disapproval of certain practices, including: - The inappropriate and excessive use of the word "sir." - Referring to places like Gandhinagara as "Sandalwood." - The overuse of terms like "brother" and "sister," which often creates confusion about who is being addressed. We must stay true to our roots and preserve our originality. There is no hon...

Are you tired of the repeat use of OTPs in India? These so-called, one-time passcodes... are, unfortunately, required at every step of the way in India... whatever you do... you need OTPs! My guess, 10% of the computing capacity of India's infrastructure is dedicated to generating random numbers that feed more than a billion users every day! Amazing, isn't it? But this article talks about the nigh...

How do you answer this question? Usually, "How are you?" questions are just a "nod" or "acknowledgment" when we see someone (either known or unknown). But, when someone close to us asks, "How are you, really?", the real answer comes. And, based on the answer, you can easily determine your state of mind at that time. Today's topic is just around: How do w...

I am sure you have heard of this before... "You simply don't understand!"... or "Don't sweat too much about the stuff that you don't understand!". It has happened to me at every stage of my life and will continue... I have no complaints, just some recollections. I'm sure you agree with me that being naive is much better sometimes.

You are not Indians! (If you haven't traveled in UP or Bihar and seen rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, or Brahmaputra, you are not Indian.) There is a vast difference between the South Indian imagination of a river and that of a North Indian river. It is not just the water body but everything about and around it. I know, I am making a bold statement here, however, I encourage you to go and explore t...

How often do we think that the people who follow the speed limits on the road are doing the right thing? Especially on a single-lane highway, the vehicle following the rules ahead of us becomes a villain for no reason! When someone speeds beyond the speed limit, there are so many followers, however, there is not much fan fare for the rules followers. Sometimes, the calm, rules following New Jersey...

Let's question the questions in this episode. What are questions? Why do we ask so many questions? Do all questions need to be answered? Finally, a simple question for all the listeners... "Who are you?"... if you don't find the answer to this question, you will have the same threat that Trivikrama Sena Maharaja had in Betalana KathegaLu.

Let's support the Karnataka Ranji Trophy team. They have had big success winning the Vijay Harare Trophy, and now they must do well in their final league match to qualify for the Quarter-Finals.
