Ep 17: What am I vibing to these days? - My journey in pursuit of happiness!
Today’s topic of podcast is “My Pursuit of Happiness”. In this monologue, I talk about about my understanding of "Pursuit of happiness" and the 3 versions of it I discovered. I also briefly revisit my life history and the residual learning which currently form the basis of my world view. This amalgamation of my past and present gets me exploring a new phase in life. I am anchoring my decisions, choices and next steps to 3 keywords (which you will know as I discuss in the podcast). So listen ahead and figure out what I am vibing to these days!Disclaimer: This is my personal experience and opinion. It is neither intended to be life advice, template or self help discourse for others to follow. You need to figure out your own pursuit of happiness!In Pictures: https://www.instagram.com/shankar_srinath/In Tweets: https://twitter.com/Shankar_Srinath

Ep 9: Normalising break year for the GenZ Ft Rohith Subramanian
In this week's podcast we talk about a very pertinent topic for the current age. The concept of break year and its relevance for today's youth. I believe break year and travel is a very essential life experience that every youth should have once in their lifetime. Joining me in this episode is Rohith Subramanian a.k.a the Misfit Magellan. His life story has been very unconventional to say the least. Starting with a 180 day break when he was 21, he extended it for 5 years and also made a living out of it.

Tune into the latest episode and listen to the exciting adventures of Rohith and I guarantee you that it will not disappoint you!If you like what you listened to, then please do subscribe to our channel and do rate our podcast on Spotify or Apple.
