The fundamental idea behind Curiousect is to explore a range of questions. Initial few episodes were about careers and navigating through them. Right now, Time Capsule, which is the spinoff series is about the ideas, things and conversations that are worth revisiting in the future.
Time Capsule | Ft. Food, Friendships and Rituals.
Hi, I keep thinking about my college, NLUJ.  I can't help it. It is inevitable.  I looked through my limited number of photos and some past WhatsApp chats to try and relive some of those memories. In process, I realised something important.  This episode is about that realisation and how crucial food was to my experience in college. After you're done listening, I'll leave you with a thought - what kind of food rituals do you share with your friends?  I would urge all of you to read the complete essay (this episode doesn't include some minor parts) on my website or substack.  If you liked this episode, don't forget to share.  Follow Curiousect: Twitter Instagram Facebook Substack  Music Credits  1) Hymn by Scott Buckley 2) Gymnopedie No 1 by Satie 3) An Ode to the World by Kai Engels  4) Sentient by Gavin Luke

Time Capsule | Ft. Teaching Constitutional Values with Tejas Rao
Tejas Rao is a person of varied interests. He runs a daily newsletter, a daily blog and is currently pursuing a Masters in International Law at St. Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge. One of his side projects is teaching school students in his alma mater, about constitutional values. I spoke to him about this project, what he aims to achieve out of this workshop and whether he still finds hope in our constitution.  Show Notes: Follow Tejas on Twitter - @tejasrao11 He has a brilliant website and newsletter which you can find here - https://tejasrao.net Check out other endeavours by his friends - Jalaj Jain runs a show called Fun With Law which has conversations to help make sense of a life in law. Law Briefs, founded by Aditya Gor, is an attempt at helping students, professionals etc. by providing them case summaries and easy to read judgment briefs.  The Speech by Maneka Guruswamy at Inventure Academy can be found here.  Also, a big thank you to Tejas and the folks at Inventure Academy for letting me use clips from the workshop.  Music Credits: Happiness Is by Podington Bear Silent Flock by Bluedot Sessions Difference by Kai Engels Curiosity by Lee Rosevere  Follow Curiousect on: Instagram Twitter / Nirmal Bhansali Facebook

Time Capsule | Ft. Mehrangarh - Always Present
I have been thinking about my college and Jodhpur a lot, and I decided to write something about one of my favourite views. Time Capsule is supposed to be about things, I would want to revisit in the future, and Mehrangarh is always going to be one of those places.  This episode is different. I hope you like the idea and share the episode if you enjoyed it.  Also do read the write up (transcript of sorts) on my website - www.curiousect.com  Music Credits: Happiness by Podington Bear   Quiet Place by Jonny Easton (Check out his channel) Sage The Hunter, White Limit, A Little Powder by Bluedot Sessions (www.sessions.blue)

Time Capsule - Ft. Sandesh Atyam
This is the beginning of a new experiment - Time Capsule. It's a spin off from Curiousect, where I'll be recording conversations with my friends, peers etc. about their stories, the hopes and aspirations they have of the future.  The first episode is a conversation with one of my closest friends, Sandesh Atyam. We've both studied in the same university, for the last 4 years and now that our law school life will soon be coming to an end, I decided to revisit some of the past.  Music Credits: Podington Bear: Filament, Proliferate, Constellation and Happiness Is You can follow Curiousect on; Instagram Twitter Facebook
