This impromptu conversation unravels itself into various different areas that can be put into the umbrella term of Spirituality. Nishil holds this different and interesting desire of making movies which can transport a viewer to a peaceful and meditative state of mind. He is also finding himself while pursuing this idea. This conversation tangentially touches around some subjects that involve female body building, Nirvana, Islam, the soul and many more. Tune in to this episode to listen to the hosts and the guest discuss and exchange ideas on these very disparate yet loosely related topics. This is the Smoking Philosophy podcast.

We have another guest - Agam Shah - on the show who is a dancer, photographer, cinematographer and a winner in the making. The conversation explores a part of his story with which many would be able to resonate. The dilemma, the confusion, the fear. But the drive to persist in face of all that? That is what passion is and that's how winners are made. Thats how winners should be made. Tune in to this episode to know more. Follow Agam's work on instagram @rangrezaa_ 

We introduce Saumya Maniar who we are fortunate enough to share a bond with. He has this beautiful insight on the difference between Happiness and Joy. He believes in striving and persevering and says it's totally alright to fail in the short term because that's what makes you ready to win in the long term. This talk comes with a bit of nostalgia between us old friends and is filled with value and meaning which we ourselves strive and persevere to bring it to you, The Listener.
