  • Ep 71 | India's Dichotomy Explained | Education, Society & Reality with Anand Kashyap

    Ep 71 | India's Dichotomy Explained | Education, Society & Reality with Anand Kashyap
    Apr 16 2026

    Kya aapko bhi lagta hai India mein contradiction zyada hai clarity se?


    After a short break, we’re back with a powerful conversation to kickstart 2026!

    In this episode, Gaurav Sinha is in conversation with Anand Kashyap — a Public Health Professional, Social Worker, Community Builder, Poet & Storyteller from Patna, Bihar.


    Topic - India ki dichotomy — ek taraf development ki kahani, doosri taraf ground reality.

    Is it growth or illusion? Progress ya sirf perception?


    Topics covered:

    Indian education system — learning ya rattafication?

    Social & economic divide — badhta hua gap

    Politics, society aur hypocrisy ke layers

    Books, writing aur storytelling ka importance

    Bihar aur desh ki ground reality aur India ka larger picture


    Conversation serious hai, lekin tone mein milega irony, sarcasm aur thoda sa dark humour — kyunki kabhi kabhi hasi hi sach bolne ka best tareeka hota hai.


    Episode ke end mein Anand Kashyap apni do powerful Hindi poems bhi recite ki — raw, real aur thought-provoking.


    Agar aapko lagta hai ki aap system ko samajhte hain… ya samajhna chahte hain — this episode is for you.

  • Ep 70 | Why Are CREATIVE People Often Rejected By Their Own Families?

    Ep 70 | Why Are CREATIVE People Often Rejected By Their Own Families?
    Dec 24 2025

    because we're always changing & evolving!


    Why Are CREATIVE People Often Rejected By Their Own Families? | The Creative Zindagi Podcast | Episode 70


    In one of his speeches, Osho had this really insightful way of putting it: we're always changing, evolving.


    By the time we've finally stepped into who we really are - maybe as an artist, a writer, a deep thinker - those who've known us forever, especially from childhood, still see that old version of us. They're stuck looking at the kid we used to be. They just can't wrap their heads around the fact that we've transformed. It's hard for them to believe it, let alone celebrate it. But strangers? They meet you fresh. No history, no baggage. They see exactly who you've become right now, in this moment. That's why they can genuinely admire you, support you, and cheer you on without any hesitation.


    He gave this beautiful example with Gautam Buddha. When Buddha returned home after his enlightenment, his father begged him to come back to the palace, to give up this spiritual path and just be his son again, the prince he'd raised.


    Buddha looked at him and said something like, "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. That person you’re talking to... he doesn't exist anymore. The young man who left the palace is gone forever."


    His father could only see his little boy. But everyone else? They saw this radiant, awakened being "a Buddha".


    It's kind of bittersweet; the people closest to us are often the last to recognize our growth. They cling to who we were yesterday, while strangers get to meet the person we're finally becoming today.
