God Is Not Fair?

Sometimes, in life, we go through a road that is very rough and it seems like never-ending. We're not able to visualize how to sail through. We have several questions unanswered including whether it is going to end ever... We even think of giving up... But you know what, sometimes nature puts us on to such roads only to make us stronger and emerge as torch-bearers for others and we don't even realize that. Today, I have brought to you the real-life stories of a couple hailing from small towns, making their mark in the suburbs of Mumbai after being hit in life where they questioned themselves if they would be able to make it again. Do listen and share your feedback. I'll see you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

When we are kids, we're quite creative. We do what we want to do, we enjoy what we do, and we master what we do... But, as we grow old we start doubting ourselves, our capabilities. We don't do many things that we love. We get into the trap of EMIs, Jobs, Business, Expectations, etc. Ever wondered why does it happen? Is it truly part of growing up? Does everyone go through this? Well, even though these things are relevant to the majority of people, there are people who make their marks, they become the top 1% of the global population and lead the way for youth. So what is the difference between us as kids, we as grown up, and we as super successful personalities? The answer is - Following your heart without being biased and without being influenced by others. There is a beautiful real-life story and some perspectives on this topic which you can listen to in this eight-and-a-half-minute episode. I hope it'll make sense to you. See you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

If you read "I am Ok" in the thumbnail image, read again. This is exactly our situation, many times. Even if we’re not okay, we don’t speak up. There are several valid reasons for it and the biggest of them is “Fear of Rejection”, in any form. If we fear that speaking up will lead to rejection, we may give up our voice, silence our voice, or speak our voice in an inauthentic way. These choices enable us to hide but with deleterious after-effects. Giving up our voice masks our true identity and diminishes our uniqueness. Hence, this decision to silence our voice leads to illness, failure, and a disempowered life. I’m sure this episode will bring some more clarity on the topic. I’ll see you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

Hi Friends! Many a times, in our lives, we tend to question things like why this happened to me? why am I on this earth? how to make life meaningful? etc. Sometimes, we get the answers and sometimes we don't.

In life, tragedy never comes alone, there are several other events that follow post that and it seems it is never going to end. During this time, we experience various ups and downs. We find people who genuinely help us, and we also get people who just want to give some “borrowed Gyan”! But life is life, and it has to go on. Remember, there is nothing permanent in life and we need to keep looking ahead and keep trying to come out of the situation just like Shubhrata did!

Hi Friends! Often we get into a situation where we are supposed to help someone in spite of going through our own challenges. I, recently, got an opportunity to chat with Dr. Kumar Prabhash who is a Cancer Specialist and works as Head of the Department at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. We talked about how he deals with Death (of his patients), his emotions, and that feeling of not being able to save a patient and coping with that. It is pretty much relatable in our lives as well although the intensity would be different. I'm sure It'lI help you look at life from a different dimension. I hope you like it. I'll see you soon.

Hi Friends! We have 4 aspects of our lives i.e., personal, family, professional and social.  They are like the four wheels of a car. Anyone of them not balanced will result in a turbulent journey. In today’s episode, I have a  special guest who is a Harvard graduate, has worked in various countries, and has led several large MNCs. What makes Rehan special is – he hails from a middle-class family just like most of us, had a close encounter with death when he was in the early part of his career, and in spite of all the challenges, he has not only contributed to the corporate world and economy but to helping others become successful.   I’m sure, you’ll enjoy this chat.

We all have a certain time in our lives when we feel betrayed, cheated or insulted by someone we never expected to do so. The memories of such incidences are bitter and intolerable. They keep haunting us, sometimes throughout our life. We all know this is not good and we even try to move on but the impact of heartbreak is so excruciating that we are not able to move on. But, in order to live life peacefully, we need to manage it. I’ve discussed the same in today’s episode without giving any gyan… I’m sure it’ll help! See you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

Almost 60% of our life is about our professional engagement. In this scenario, it is very imperative for us to enjoy what we do otherwise, it becomes a stressful affair. Easier said than done? The majority of us DO NOT enjoy what we do for our living. There are grudges, compromises, and sacrifices but for what? Is it worth it? If not this, then what? Today's episode throws light on this aspect of our lives and I hope it helps! I'll see you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

On the one hand, we have dreams, aspirations, expectations, relations that need our undivided attention and want us to do more to achieve them, on the other hand, there are fatigue, stress, and in some cases "Toxic Shame". Yes, Toxic Shame! It might seem to be a small and resolvable issue when we're in the "right" frame of mind but when we're going through it, it seems like the entire life is worthless because of that. It may be anything like height, weight, IQ, etc. But is it possible to overcome that and lead a happy life? Yes, it is. I have discussed this in detail here and I'm sure it'll help! I'll see you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

Hi Friends, Covid19 has impacted all of us in a certain way and most of us are having not-so-good experiences. But this is real and we have to deal with it. A few things that we have a lot may be regained like money, job, etc but a few things will never come back e.g. the lost ones, relationships, etc. In such time, it is very imperative for all of us to remain aligned to our larger goal and keep working towards it. In today's episode I have discussed how can we still rebound and live life beautifully. I had read somewhere and it is very true today as well - Anything that doesn't kill you, makes you stronger! I'll see you soon. Jai Hind Vivek

Friends, when it comes to our mental health, there are several things around us that affect us and anything can trigger us and make us vulnerable to situations that we otherwise are very much capable of handling. In today's episode, I host Shubhrata Prakash who is doing some good work in the mental health domain and acts as a "North Star" to people in need. There are certain gaps created in society over a period of time that are causing distress and mental health issues in the long run. We probably need to identify them and work on them consciously. I hope you like the episode. See you Soon. Jai Hind Vivek

We feel stressed in our lives because of different reasons. Whether it’s work, school, social life, family, love, or anything else, one can get bogged down by all kinds of things. And one of the biggest reasons could be "not being able to get what we always dreamt for". Due to this, one might want to just take a step back, breathe and ask: “how do I restart my life?”. However, with so many things that could add to the pressure of everyday life, it might seem impossible to relax, wind down, and start fresh. But, does life stop there? Lets learn from Naresh Naik who, at the age of 58, resumed his life his way. Do listen and share your feedback! Jai Hind Vivek

As per an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) research, Every 7th Indian man is shaken up by the mental health disorders. Men are a species who have to handle/ manage several expectations right from the childhood and this does leave them frustrated as they grow giving them the sense of "No one loves me unconditionally, everyone around me needs something or the other from me". I can't pinpoint one thing about the problem but yes, somewhere as a society we have gone wrong the trend seems to be continuing. The suicide death rate for men has increased from 18.7% to 23.4%. 10-34-year-old men's suicide rate is the second-highest leading and fourth leading in the case of 30-35 years old. Today's episode starts with a poem written by me followed by the casual chat with a business leader who interacts with thousands of people across the world. I hope this cuts some ice. Stay tuned and see you soon. Jai Hind Vivek www.thevivek.in
