Vent!

“Walk with me and be thou perfect”. The sky is the next perfect thing to Jesus. This episode is an exposition - in less than ten minutes about what we conceive to be perfect. In the episode, I described our conception of perfect as "whopped" and sold to us by Disney and the "Happily Ever After" storytellers. "Your Instagram page is perfect, yes because it’s carefully curated. That’s why people hav...

Why do the “parents not know their kids”? The truth. What is the truth? What is living the truth? No, what is living YOUR truth? Is it subject to your scrutiny only? If it’s generic and cliche to say “be yourself”, well true enough your true self could be a liar. So be a liar? The parents know the lie, they don’t know their kids. It’s a community and world of kids living in fakes and falsehood and...

Happy valentine. It’d be normal to think this is a valentine episode. You are not wrong. It isn’t. This episode is about us. “I’m learning to think independent of the world. I’m learning to see who I am from my perspective. For a huge part of our lives, our actions and opinions have been heavily dictated by someone else and that’s not wrong, well when you say heavily dictated that’s a lot but I me...

It’s hard to love, it’s usual. It always is. Admitting that it is a declaration of humanity. It could be human to hate but to love is divine. Convenience, and comfort are in Asher’s opinion enemies of love. The description of this episode is written in guilt and in remembrance of an experience where love could have been shown. Inability to show love is lack of confidence, Asher didn’t say that, La...

A utopia, as described by Google describes an imaginary community or society that possesses highly desirable or near-perfect qualities for its members.

All of these are compressed into 6 minutes of an episode...

"Death is promised. I hope you comprehend your mortality." This episode is a story I hope I told with the level of compassion in my heart when the incident and everything that followed happened. Jay Z’s “young forever” plays while I write the description of the episode. Words fail me. Someone I know said “we are all hypocrites”, I don’t think we are - I think we are just human, that’s why there’s...

2023 for the hive mind that is my circle was a necessary year full of hurdles and striving. Lessons learnt and thoughts executed. The new year resolution is to be better, there’s always an opportunity to scale, there’s always a way to make your day make little more sense even through the personal occasional - permit me, fuck ups for some more than others. Above all, I’m happy I’m still standing ri...

The fraud conversation is an ongoing and expanding one and this conversation I was lucky to have captured this with my phone recorder. The extent of this conversation shows how much and how far this going sideways in details not every one wants to hear so a couple parts were clipped off. This is a recording of a conversation between three friends and an acquaintance. This is an outsider's pers...

Flowers To Who Made It Rain is a reminisce of everyone in my life who had contributed immensely, materially and otherwise to my growth and also watching the friend group share an overflowing amount of love every time we are together. On this episode, which I'd argue should be a little more articulate about the idea that "Friends Are Family". I talk about dependency, feeling undeservi...

When you feel your filth, there's nothing to be ashamed of - you just take responsibility and work on it. It's necessary to work on that part of us as we get older. I guess it just dawned on me as I turned a year older yesterday. Surrendering control and taking responsibility for who you are, what you are right now, your perspective on life, what you become, and what you want. Responsibility, not...

I realized today, that it’s 3 years since the endsars protest - 20.10.2020. In hindsight, it begs the question “What exactly were we fighting for?”, it’s not a question in mockery of the event but honestly, was it worth it? Do we still care about a revolution? From past experience, would another try at a revolution be worth it? Everyday we care less about where we live, "Get money Chale, get money...
