The Honest Fabler Podcast

Creativity is difficult to come by when you live your days for survival. As life goes on, sometimes, pulling through is the greatest achievement for me.    I'm happy I'm back at making podcasts and I got to share the screen with this brilliant wunderkind - Ayush Tripathi - who has won accolades around the world for his photographs!   This kid has vision, maturity and empathy that, I know, will take him places.  Listen to me and Ayush sit down to talk about how one can go about to starting their Career in Photography in an era that has survived the pandemic!

"Be your own boss" is a lifestyle we all wish to follow. But only few of us can endure the daily struggles that plague our journey!   Today, I invited one such personality who has inspired me via his work and ethics and who, I believe, has made the best of the solopreneur lifestyle.

It feels good to be back - and back with a BANG! For the first episode, we sit down with one of India's most influential Social Entrepreneur - Amrut Deshmukh aka the Booklet Guy, who sheds light in dark places we never imagined to look for motivation. He speaks about his journey of building, and growing a movement for Indians that has now spread beyond national borders and has over 17 Lakh participants!   Today in this era of evolving challenges in the start up frontier of India, it becomes essential to understand all the possible ways to create a lasting impact for the better of everyone.    Ashutosh Gursale (aka The Honest Fabler) & Amrut Deshmukh sit together to help youngsters of India and around the world learn to navigate their personal lives and professional endeavors better, on this authentic Indian podcast in English.

10 Weeks!? I sure can't wrap my mind around how far we've come! From sharing a gleam of hope to executing and bringing together conversations from individuals who are set on a path to contribute to change the world one step at a time, and in their own way. I hope the season finale does justice to the series that has truly changed me as an artist and humbled me as a person. Have a great year ahead, take care and I hope you achieve all the things you hustle for!

As artists, we always seek out others who acknowledge and respect our way of practicing art. In the recent years, events such as open mics have provided thousands of artists a stage to perform through out our country and fulfill this aching need! But it has always been limited to metropolitan areas.  However, that started to change for the better in the past couple or so years! Untold Tales is one of the communities of artists that was founded with the motive to create a platform and a judgement-free space for performers in the Suburban areas of Mumbai.  Learning and growing together with Untold Tales, Raveena, its co-founder, shares with us the journey of how it all started and how it is dealing with the brake put on it by the pandemic.

With technology reshaping and revolutionizing the way we act and adapt to situations, it has hardly changed our human tendencies.  In THF Podcast's first ever Mini Episode, I talk about the way we see people.  What would happen if you step in my shoes and see people the way I do? Today, I talk about the beauty in this spectrum of colors made up of people and the way we comprehend its beauty!✨

We already know our upcoming generations are going to have a more aware world, but how can those who already have completed their Bachelors go back to what they love?  Or how can those who believe their problem-solving nature is of no use other than Jugaad utilize their skills? On today's episode, we dive into these questions from the standpoint as set by Ms. Shreya, who is currently pursuing her Masters of Design from IIT Bombay. We move from talking about how her journey of pursuing an undesired Bachelors turned into a thrill of chasing and conquering a certainly unique Masters! 

As we have reached halfway through season 1, I decided to make an episode based on the feedback I received from you guys! This Episode, I invited my junior  who shares a similar passion for side hustles that has helped both of us to excel in managing multiple things at once. Through this conversation, I have tried to draw light upon certain aspects that are applicable and helpful to anyone hoping to go beyond their daily struggles.  Finally, thank you for listening to my podcasts and supporting me to this point! I hope you enjoy the upcoming episodes just as much. Stay healthy!
