Cool at 18, Red Flag at 28

Here we go again bart 2! At 18 some habits felt “cool”, “main character energy”. At 28 you realise it was just untreated stupidity with confidence. From fake nonchalance, relationship drama, sleep deprivation flexing, party culture and random ego behaviour. This episode is basically a public investigation into all the things we glorified for absolutely no reason. If this episode personally attacks you… good. It attacked me too. Why blood? Same blood.

I get it. Sometimes we don’t feel like working or we do the bare minimum and then stare at the screen for the next 5 hours pretending to analyse shit. So if you’ve already completed today’s ‘productive activity’ in 43 minutes and now need survival tips till 4pm, this episode is for you. Send me your office survival techniques too… purely for research purposes before I get fired tomorrow lmaooo

In this episode of Mann Ki Baat aka Manadhin Kural, I unpack my current headspace. Some where between imposter syndrome and an existential spiral. These are no neatly formed thoughts, but scattered questions that keep coming back in different times.This is me putting them out there, unfiltered, to see if any of it resonates with you.“Why blood? Same blood.”

All of us struggle with habits, good or bad. But there are a few everyday “harmless” habits we do every day that don’t seem like a big deal until you realise they might be quietly pulling you down.In this episode, we’re unpacking those small, relatable behaviours and how they affect your mood, focus, and progress more than you think. Tune in for more!

Final bart of this Life Update mini series. Thanks everyone for your comments! Always be grateful!

I think I need an intervention lol. Shit is going down but all I know is to survive and things will get better. Same goes to everyone out there! #therikkavidalama

In this episode, I take you through the month I spent back home in India. From the simple joy of hugging my mum after so long, to late nights with old friends, wild drinking sessions—this is a raw, unfiltered recap of everything that made the trip unforgettable. Sometimes chaotic, mostly wholesome, always real.

It is a hard life, let's be honest. Does being grateful help at all?Nandri oda irukuradhu easy ah illa time waste ah?
