Death

Death

In this episode, I talk about Death and how confronting the truth that I will die started my journey to living a happier life. The idea to not avoid talking about death and embrace its eventuality in my day to day was first presented to me in the book ''When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi'' which I talk about in this episode. 

Just one more question have you ever thought about how you would spend your time if you knew the day you would die?

Isolation Diaries 04 - On Missing

One week quickly turned to four weeks and now, we have all lost count of how long we have spent in lockdown. As a result, I am missing contact with the outside world, the normalcy of a routine and I am sure I am not the only one in this boat.

In this week’s episode, I talk about missing my family and friends, the routine I built before the lockdown, feeling unmotivated about life and the rapid decline of my productivity. I hope it helps you realise you are not alone, we are all in this together and we will pull through.
