Season 12 Episode 10 “Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong; it’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.” ― G.D. Anderson Perhaps one of the most discussed topics in the 21st century is Women's empowerment and the roles of women in today's world. Often, we fail to understand the true meaning behind this phrase. This phrase hides beneath all that women have endured for ages, the fact that they have been suppressed for so long. Times have changed. The idea of feminism is coming into the limelight and changing the mindset of society, which has often been unwelcoming to women in the past. Please tune in and delve into the changes we as a society need to bring about to uplift the status of women! Join Simar and Oshi and their special friend Aarika as they discuss women's roles in society, breaking stereotypes and sharing truly unbelievable stories that convey the endurance and strength of a woman!

Season 12 and Episode 9 are here yet again! ‘These will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We'll all become somebody's mom or dad. But right now, these moments are not stories. And in this moment, we are infinite.’ Isn’t it strange how quickly time flies? One moment, you are young and full of life, curious about everything and everyone. The littlest of things give you pleasure. Enter- the real world. We all tend to lose our quirkiness, love for life, and all the small things life offers. We work, and we run; we run as fast as we can to be the first, sometimes even losing ourselves on the way. Old age, however, gives us a second chance. It's a It's from nature. It allows us to revisit our childhood and experience human dependency at its best. Please listen to another mesmerising conversation shared by Simar and Oshi as they delve into the depths of childhood, old age, and life at their best.

Season 15, Episode 1, produced by Sunbeam Varuna School & Hostel Varanasi. Ismat - "If you concentrate on what you have, you'll always have more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you'll never have enough." - Lewis Howes Astha - Maintaining an attitude of gratitude holds significant importance as it transforms our mindset. By redirecting our attention from ourselves towards appreciating people or things, we open doors to express gratitude for every facet of our lives. Ismat - Cultivating this attitude involves consciously appreciating major and minor aspects regularly, such as relationships, health, business, possessions, necessities like food and water, or our general sense of wellness. Astha - Embracing an attitude of gratitude lets us engage from a standpoint of abundance. Nurturing this mindset cultivates greater happiness, positivity, and compassion towards ourselves and those in our circles. Ismat- Centering on what brings us gratitude helps build more vigorous habits of appreciating the significant individuals and elements in our lives. Gratitude, fundamentally, involves appreciating what we possess rather than fixating on what we might lack.
