Woice with Warikoo Podcast

When we asked Vidur what his favourite gift we have ever given him was, we expected to hear about his bicycle, but the answer we received surprised us.

Jab humne Vidur se poocha ki usse humne kabhi diya hua sabse pasandeeda upahar kya tha, hume lagaa ki woh apni cycle ke baare mein batayega, lekin jawaab jo humein mila woh humein hairaan kar gaya..

Very often, when I ask the question "how did it go?" I often get the response: great. I'm sure people mean well, but if this is always the response, I don't know if there is anything I can improve. Today, I want to talk about why we should dig into the good feedback we get.

bahut baar jab main sawaal poochta hoon "yah kaisa raha?" toh mujhe aksar uttar milta hai: bahut accha. Main yakeen karta hoon log accha chahte hain, lekin agar yah hamesha uttar hota hai, toh mujhe nahin pata ki main kuch sudhaar sakta hoon ya nahin.

Jab main US me travel kar raha tha tab mujhe ye ehsaas hua ki Bharat me kuch hain jo us desh me nahi hain. Bhavishya ke liye excitement. Ye ko me "growth ki khushboo" kehta hun.

When I was travelling in the US, I had experiences that made me think of what the country lacks that India has: a sense of excitement for the future: I call it "the smell of growth"

Iss podcast episode mein main apni zindagi se aapke saath teen Khoobsurat lessons share karna chahta hu.

Every singe one of us feels inferior at some point in time. In this episode, I'd like to offer you a different line of thinking so that you can stop this feeling.

Kaafi saare log sochte hai ki ameeri ka matlab aapke paas kitna total paisa hai. Lekin ameer log jaante hai ki aapke asli net worth hai assets minus liabilities.

Most people think that how rich you are is how much money you have, but rich people know that your net worth actually is assets minus liabilities.

Ek bahut frequent conversation hoti hai mere saath around mental wellbeing. Kaafi log bolte hai ki vo depressed, stressed ya anxious hote hai. Lekin shayad unko ye paata nahi hai ki ye conditions kitne serious ho sakte hai.

I often talk to people about how flippantly they use terms like depression or anxiety. People often don't recognize the gravity going through these or what they are feeling 

Jab main logon ko subah office jaate hue dekh raha tha to main sochne laga, log office jaake kaam karte hai, lekin unka maksad kya hai?

As I was sitting in the cab, observing people on their way to work, it struck me that billions of people leave for work. It made me think about their reasons for doing so. What is the purpose of them doing their job?

Mere book tour ke sessions me mujhe ek saval aata hi jaata hai, zyaada karke 20 year olds se: failure ke saath kaise deal karte hai? Aaj main ye saval ek example use karna chahta hun. 

One question I receive repeatedly, often from people in their 20s is how to deal with failure. In this episode, I would like to answer this with the help of an example.

When I realised that I had crossed 2 million followers on Linkedin, Instagram and Youtube, I couldn't believe it. When I messaged a friend to tell him about this, he asked me a simple question that put this into perspective.

Jab mujhe pata chala ki mere pas Linkedin, Instagram, aur Youtube pe 2 million se zyada followers hai. Mujhe yakeen hi nahi ho raha tha. Lekin maine jab mera ek dost ko ye baat bataya tab unhone mujhe ek saval puche jisne mera soch badla.

Yeh saal aapke ke life na make karega, na bigadega. Lekin jab me logon ko yeh cheez batata hun to toh mujhe lagta hai ki main hypocrite hun. Kyunki mai apne 20s mein ye baat manta nahi tha. Har saal meri liye make or break tha.

I often tell people that no year will make or break your life. I often feel like a hypocrite when I tell people this, because in my twenties I believed every year was that significant. The truth is no one year is that important.

Among the many messages, emails and pings I receive from people, the biggest subject I tend to be asked about is emotional pain. In this episode, I would like to talk about the way to deal with pain.

Emails, messages aur pings mein zyade log emotional pain ke baare me baat karte hai. Iss episode mein main iss dard se deal karne ke tareeke ke baare me batana chahta hun.

Bagalore mein ek event ke audience member ne mere life ke failures ke baare me poocha. Woh janna chahta tha ki mai failures ko kaise handle karta hun. Aaj ke episode me main aapko batana chahta hun ki failure ko handle karne ke liye ek hi tareeka hai: fir se try karna. 

The other day, at an event in Bangalore, an audience member asked me about failures and the various twists in turns in my life. Today, I want to talk about how to handle failure. The only thing you can do is try again and get used to it.

We all love holidays. We visit places for various reasons, but we often take vacations with agendas and checklists and as a result, we often come back from a vacation tired.
