Beyond the Textbook ft. Pranjali Sanwatsarkar | Ep31

Beyond the Textbook ft. Pranjali Sanwatsarkar | Ep31

Oh, man! What can I say about this episode?

I think this is the best episode I’ve recorded with someone who I’ve debated a lot with, shared happiness with, and perhaps even got scolded for good, but in the end, learned something new; learned something useful, something significant, something prominent.

Well, all of my school teachers have taught me more than what’s in the textbook, and hence this episode of the podcast is all about "beyond the textbook", some parts did align with the subject but I highly-highly recommend y’all to hear the complete episode, if not the last segment of the podcast.

I might invite all of my teachers subsequently but this one’s with my social studies teacher who you’re gonna get to know more about as you go along listening to this one. Again, every time I get back to listening to this one I just can’t stop cherishing it, adoring it, and well today’s a special day, 9th June, when I’m releasing this cause it’s my birthday and I bet y’all would enjoy this one just like how Pranjali teacher and I did.


Chapters:-

  1. Introduction
  2. Childhood and Inspiration
  3. Becoming a teacher and convincing parents
  4. How to teach?
  5. Incorporating real-world relevance in class
  6. Passion for social studies and teaching
  7. Advice for students who struggle with social science
  8. Book recommendations
  9. Best moments of being a SS teacher
  10. Take on Mughal History
  11. Take on Kashmir
  12. Reforms to bring in the education system
  13. Take on GenZ
  14. Rapid Fire Round


Rapid fire round included questions like: Why didn't you become a politician? Which historical figure do you want to have dinner with? etc.

Thanks a lot, keep supporting:)

Love | Ep28

Love | Ep28

Love- a funny, delirious, healing, wounding, magical, beautiful concept.

This episode is really close to my heart, and I cherish it for what it is. It’s something of my experience as a 16-year-old boy, from where I come, and the things that happened to me and have taught me lessons that no education system or book can have ever done.

I talk about relationships, I talk about bond, and a few concepts like having the right person and the very idea of unloving someone. I even go on to speak about hatred and what love actually means to me.

There’s this one poem that I’d written on love a few months back that’s there in the podcast which is one of the catches. And just so that you know, the complete catch of this podcast is- I never considered a relationship to be between two people, which you’ll get to know as you go on listening till the end, which I highly recommend.

So yeah, take a cup of coffee or tea with you, sit back, and just enjoy the episode.

Chapters of the podcast:-

  1. Introduction
  2. Relationship
  3. Bond
  4. Understanding, trust, and vulnerability
  5. Is there a right person?
  6. Can you UNLOVE someone?
  7. My poem on Love
  8. Hate
  9. What is Love?

Company | Ep27

Hey friends,

In this episode of the podcast I mainly talked about how the people we are surrounded with have such a significant impact on us. I go about discussing my story that how I happened to be a part of every group that ever existed and then I got to know about the human condition. The fact that I used to change myself from group to group made me realize the contrast that existed accompanied by the realization that the group was in a way responsible for my personality. 

This is a very short yet concise podcast that talks more about my experience, and I feel like I'm documenting one as I go on speaking, and ends with me open-endedly discussing the idea of friends that I wanted to remove the from the podcast but I kept it. 

Anyways, I'll go now, and y'all can enjoy the episode, but make sure to share this one. 

Chapters:

  1. Introduction
  2. About the club
  3. People who surround us
  4. My story
  5. Unfair advantage 
  6. Multi-personalities 
  7. Friends
  8. Outro

Thanks a lot, keep supporting:)

What is Productivity? ft. Andy K | ep9

What is Productivity? ft. Andy K | ep9

At some point in our life, we come across this very word, productivity, isn't it? We say, yeah my day was productive, we say yeah I've done some productive work, right? In an economic context, productivity is how to measure the output that comes from units of input and that's how we even relate to our life. Getting as many things as possible in a day we call productivity, a measure of efficiency.

When you think of someone productive in your life, you may immediately picture a person who is busy all the time. This individual is constantly moving through tasks, pushing deadlines, and seemingly trapped under a pile of duties that seems to grow each day. We often make the mistake of equating just being busy with being productive, but they aren’t the same thing. When you’re meeting the true definition of productivity, you won’t be chasing deadlines or running five steps behind on everything you need to get done in a day, week, month, or year. It’s quite the contrary; you’ll probably be ahead of schedule, says Tony Robbins.

Today we've my pal Aneesh Kadam, also known as Andy for the second time with us. We started this journey of productivity and minimalism last year while lockdown and today we'd manifest our learnings and share the experience of how does it feel to be productive and what's the outcome? If you wanna know about what is being productive and how to make that happen, make sure you listen to the complete podcast and I'm sure there's a lot to learn from it and you'd enjoy!

Lifestyle, Relationships, Spirituality ft. Harsh B | ep7

Lifestyle, Relationships, Spirituality ft. Harsh B | ep7

Today we have a very special guest with us, he's one of the guys, who was pretty arrogant and immature back then, before the covid thing. You know what, this lockdown has its own benefits. People got to know themselves quite better. This guy has changed himself drastically in terms of his mindset and point of view. 

We talked about: 

Lifestyle matters, lifestyle truly matters and when I say lifestyle matters, I mean a healthy lifestyle. Without a structured yet healthy lifestyle, it’s really hard to grind the kind of productivity. Having a healthy lifestyle is all about choosing to live your life in the healthiest way possible. 

The relationship is the way in which two or more people or things are connected, there’s a certain sense of correspondence between them, a sense of association, link, a bond.  You know what, the relationship was something and should be something that makes life simple, makes things easier and good to go, but today the reality is completely changed, it’s just simply ruined. 

Spirituality can be defined as the quality of being concerned with the human spirit, I mean it helps us to gain self-awareness. See basically Spirituality is a broad concept with room for many perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life. As such, it is a universal human experience—something that touches us all.

Why not Financial Education? | ep6

Why not Financial Education? | ep6

Robert Kiyosaki says that - One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle-class struggle in debt is that the subject of money is taught at home, not in school. Most of us learn about money from our parents. So what can poor parents tell their children about money? They simply say "Stay in school and study hard." The child may graduate with excellent grades, but with a poor person's financial programming and mindset.

Sadly money is not taught in schools. Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills, but not on financial skills. This explains why smart bankers, doctors, and accountants who earned excellent grades may struggle financially all of their lives. Our staggering national debts are due in large part to highly educated politicians and government officials making financial decisions with little or no training in the subject of money.

Rich-poor, middle-class, poverty starts with a fundamental attitude. Poverty is passed on it's taught in your families and middle classes taught in families and so the people right now who are sitting at home who are struggling financially or worried about money or unhappy they may be making a lot of money but unhappy with what they're doing it was probably taught to you, you know your superego was taught get a job work hard or you'll never be rich or the rich or evil or whatever the school system will never teach you about money the school system was designed to teach you to be an employee which is important or a doctor or a lawyer a specialist but never about money and what most people lack is real business knowledge like accounting you know like debt like taxes you gotta know that stuff but they don't teach it in school to anybody

#1 Bonus Podcast - FACTS & HUMOR | A Productive Day in my Life

#1 Bonus Podcast - FACTS & HUMOR | A Productive Day in my Life

Listeners, here's what you got our first bonus episode of ThatOneThinker, the thinker, who also has a life. Wanna know, what all did I do today, so make sure, you have fun listening to this relaxed bonus podcast. 

Basically, this series is the bonus series dedicated to Facts and Humor where I'd be talking about something that I don't really talk about, away from the whole cheeky motivational thing. 

Well, this is what you call a bonus episode where I'd be sharing about my life a bit, away from what I do on the podcast. 

So, my day generally doesn't go as planned, actually, it never goes. Yup, it's true that you should make a timetable and that allows you to get resilience but it never happens in my case. I've got new challenges and difficulties to face which are absolutely uncertain. At times, when I'm kinda unassured about the next day and how will it got, I make a task list converting to a timetable just to feel confident yet, that doesn't go as planned. And yes, people do regret it when things don't go as they want and the same is in my case. Not really regret, I mean, kinda regret but moreover a bit angry. Hence, whenever I plan my day and it doesn't go the way I want I keep reminding myself of this one particular quote I wrote.

"Not everything we plan goes the way we want. There are gonna be different challenges to face. Be strong enough to face them rather than regretting what were you prepared for."- Kabir Khanuja 

Remember, tomorrow, my day's not gonna be like that of today, I might have more meetings or might have more load of assignments to complete or have to study more, so it's quite undetermined, therefore even if you make a task list or a timetable and fail to complete a couple of items, never regret. 

📧 I also write a weekly email newsletter. Each Sunday, I share some thoughts about tech and productivity along with some finance and entrepreneurship articles or the podcast which I've been enjoying. Subscribe - getrevue.co/profile/kabirkhanuja

Embracing Failure | ep5

Embracing Failure | ep5

"Embracing failure widens one's vision impacting further; either can it be a great success or a learning failure" - Kabir Khanuja

As per me, embracing failure conveys the fact that you accepted your failure, you accepted that you've lost and it's your reality, it's your truth. But, you know what's so special about being a loser? It's the fact that you got nothing to lose. And it's absolutely true. And that, you've gained something which you never discerned. You've gained a way to lose that you're not gonna take the next time. You've walked through it and the outcome has shown up. Not putting effort and failing has to totally do with the person himself. Whether to do or not with a thing, keep complaining without giving every bit of yourself regardless of the outcome.

  • We do something, either we succeed or we fail. But what is something that we didn't discern? It's the fact that we've got a kind of experience in either of them.
  • We gained a sense of understanding, we learned something out of it, we discovered new paths, and the paths to be walked on or not. Newton didn't fail 10000 times, he has found 10000 ways that won't work. Whatever is the outcome, the ideology for learning from either of them keeps the maximum importance in itself.
  • You gotta accept your reality, you gotta embrace your reality.

"Success is a lousy teacher. It makes smart people think they can't lose." - Bill Gates. 

When you embrace your failure, you make it a friend, make it a companion with the notion that it keeps you motivated, keeps you inspired yet you learn from it every time. Failure teaches you things that nothing else can teach you.

Purpose Vs Passion | ep4

Purpose Vs Passion | ep4

"Perceive your purpose, not your passion" - Kabir Khanuja

If you wanna get successful in life, it's important that you chase purpose over passion, as purpose gives you resilience, and that's what will get you ahead. Instead of asking what makes you happy and "following your passion," instead ask yourself what you care deeply about. By focusing on purpose, you align your work with your deepest values and also relieve yourself of the expectation that the long slog of a career will be all (or even mostly) happiness and sunshine.

Lessons:

  1. Life purpose is the fundamental point of life: A life purpose is s fundamental step to live your most conscious life. While you can be busy with a million tasks every day, when you don’t have a clear purpose, you may be heading down the wrong path.
  2. Purpose lets you be persistent and gives you resilience: Following passion after deciding the purpose as when you pursue your purpose, you gain an incredible burst of energy that keeps you going.
  3. Purpose lets you live a life of meaning: When you pursue your purpose, your life becomes filled with direction and meaning yet, it will assist you to clarify, what's important vs what's unimportant.

"Passion will help you sustain in this world just by paying your bills, but it's a short-term plan for your survival. It's the purpose that will help you know the meaning of life, well, a life of meaning and help you be motivated through-out to live, and that's what you call a long-term plan!" - Kabir Khanuja

The greatest accomplishment | ep3

The greatest accomplishment | ep3

"The fact that a person's ability is enhanced is the greatest accomplishment" - Kabir Khanuja
Well, there's always a scope of improvement, there's always a scope to get better than what you were before or what you did before. Keeping up with this theory, the quote has been written. Ability in terms of anything, but when enhanced - meaning - when it is intensified to get better is what makes it an absolute achievement. There's always a limit to everything and anything. This limit is where you end. And that end, my friend, is great. Nothing can be better than that as the end is limitless, but has a limit.

The scruple to begin | ep2

The scruple to begin | ep2

"The scruple to begin lets you procrastinate, preserving was never the issue" - Kabir Khanuja 

We got many ideas in our heads, we got many plans yet there are reasons we never execute them. It might have happened that if we would have executed them and it might have a great impact perhaps changed your life. The ultimate problem one has is that one hesitates to begin, it might be a reason or an excuse or the habit of overthinking, the hesitation comes. To overcome this hesitation is the gameplay! As after starting when the subject fascinates you, one automatically functions like that and continues to do that.

What does it feel like after coming first? | ep1
