Story 42 :: The Butterfly Effect of Emotions - छोटी सी गलती का भारी सिला। (The story of Apollo and Cupid - Greek Mythology - Hindi and English)
Is it possible to experience the butterfly effect of emotions? Is it possible to hurt others while we are completely submerged in our own pride and happiness? What do we do if someone hurts us a bit, unknowingly…do we begin to seek revenge? What was that little mistake that changed Apollo’s and Daphne’s lives? क्या एक नन्ही सी भावना, भावनाओं का सैलाब ला सकती है ? गर्व क्या हमसे कोई ऐसी बेवकूफी करा सकता है, जो हमारी ज़िन्दगी बदल कर रख दे? छोटी सी चोट लगने पर आप और मैं कभी बदले की आग में जलने लगें, क्या यह possible है? अपोलो को क्यों मिला ज़िन्दगी भर का दर्द? #hindipodcast #hindiinspirational #apollo #cupid #greekmythology Click/Tap here to record your viewpoint, and send it in as a message.

Story 41 :: Glamor & Gold, Love & Loss - अपनों के प्यार के बिना, सोना भी लगे ना सुनहरा। (Greek Mythology - Hindi and English)
जब प्यार हमारे पास होता है तो हमें दुनिया की चकाचौंध में वह दिखता नहीं, जब वह हमारे ignorance में लुट जाता है, तो दुनिया की चकाचौंध बेमानी, बेरंग, बेमतलब हो जाती है। When we have love, we ignore its presence in our lives - and we run after the glamor and the glitz - and then we lose sight of all that is important, that truly makes us happy, because even to enjoy our successes and riches, we need to share them with those who care. #hindipodcast #hindiinspirational #midas #greekmythology Click/Tap here to record your viewpoint, and send it in as a message.

Little Nothings 22 :: The Magic Formula for Winning! जीत का Formula. (Motivational and Inspirational) (Hindi/English)
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim… वो जो दुनिया को या दुनिया के दिलों को जीतते हैं, वो आपसे और मुझसे फ़र्क नहीं हैं... वो सपने देखते हैं, पर सपनों के ग़ुलाम नहीं बनते... सोचते हैं, पर सोचों को अपना मक़सद नहीं बनाते... दुनिया को जीतने का नुस्ख़ा simple है, पर क्या आप मेँ और मुझमेँ उस simple से नुस्ख़े को दिल से, शिद्दत से follow करने की हिम्मत है?

Story 38 :: Who hides behind the mask? किसके दिल में क्या छिपा है? (Why Karna Lost - A Story from Mahabharata - Hindu Mythology) (Hindi and English)
वह आपके खेमे में तो हैं, पर क्या उनका दिल बरंजिश है? वह उनके पास तो हैं, पर क्या वह पासा आपका चलेंगे? महाभारत होने से पहले दुर्योधन ने जो खेल खेला, उसमें वह जीता या हारा? जिस शल्य को वह धोखे से अपने खेमे में लाया, वह क्या सचमुच बना कौरवों का सहारा? Does he have your back? Does her heart beat for you? He is in the enemy camp, but will he fight for you? It happens all the time. You win some and lose some - but who you lost might be an ally, and who you gain could be an enemy. Who do you trust…and why you should, or shouldn’t?

Little Nothings 20 :: Did your tongue slip? टेढ़ी बोली के ज़हर की काट (Motivational/Self-help - Indian History) (Hindi/English)
गलती ज़रा सी कर दी थी मैंने, लापरवाही में कुछ कह दिया था, चेहरा उनका सुन के जो मुरझा गया तो मेरे ज़र्रे-ज़र्रे में ग़फ़लत के जुर्म का ज़हर घुल गया, कैसे नज़रें मिलाऊँ उनसे, कैसे मुस्कराहट वापस लाऊँ मैं उनकी? माफ़ी माँगने का हौसला भी जैसे खुद से ज़िरह के समंदर में डूब कर गुम हो गया। Every once in a while, something we say doesn’t come out right - and then it keeps boomeranging, making us bite our lip in consternation - making us think why we said what we did and how others might have heard it. How do we come out of that circle of self-castigation? #hindi #motivation #inspiration #history Click/Tap here to record your viewpoint, and send it in as a message.

The answer to both these questions is the same…Discrimination! लाखों रूपये वापस नहीं चाहिए थे उसे, उसको चाहिए था अपने देनदार का एक pound मांस। लेकिन भला क्यों? और क्यों आयी थी वह, एक आदमी का रूप बना कर? इन दोनों सवालों का जवाब एक ही है... भेद-भाव। Listen to this odd new retelling of The Merchant of Venice #shakespeare #literature #merchantofvenice Click/Tap here to say something, ask a question, or record your viewpoint, and send it in as a message.

We’ve been told time and again, that good things take time… But she wanted them all, but she didn’t want to wait - she was the impatient mother! क्या होता है जब हम ज़्यादा की चाह रखते हैं, और इंतज़ार का माद्दा नहीं? क्या होता है जब हम अपने सपनों को बढ़ने का समय नहीं देते? जल्दी का काम शैतान का... यह बात हमने कितनी बार सुनी है...और फिर सुन के अनसुनी की है। क्या किया था गांधारी ने जब कुंती के बेटे युधिष्ठिर का जन्म हो गया, पर उसके सौ बेटे उसकी कोख में ही थे?

Perhaps if we could figure out how a young boy who wanted to become an artist ended up becoming the worst dictator of the world, we might find an answer to our question. क्यों लोग बदल जाते हैं? यह सवाल हम अक्सर पूछते हैं। कैसे कोई इंसान बिल्कुल बदल जाता है? शायद अगर हम समझ पाएं कि क्यों कलाकार बनने का ख़्वाब सजाये एक लड़का, शैतानियत की सारी हदें पार कर गया, तो possible है कि कोई answer मिले इस question का। सुनिए कहानी हिटलर के पहले प्यार की भूली हुई कहानी। #worldhistory #hitler #change #love #art Click/Tap here to say something, ask a question, or record your viewpoint, and send it in as a message.

He didn’t want to lie, he needed to. He didn’t need to hear the truth, he was made to. She didn’t want to acknowledge him, but she had to. The story of Karna and Parashuram, shows us another angle of his personality - one that he wouldn’t want anyone to see. वह झूठ बोलना नहीं चाहता था, पर उसकी मजबूरी थी। उसे सच सुनने की ज़रुरत नहीं थी, पर उसे सच सुनना पड़ा। वह उसे अपनाना नहीं चाहती थी, पर अंत में उसे उसको अपनाना पड़ा। कर्ण और परशुराम की इस कहानी में देखिये कर्ण के व्यक्तित्व का एक ऐसा पहलू जो आपने पहले नहीं देखा। #mythological #stories #hindi #mahabharata #motivation #inspiration Host's Favorite Episode: Story 21 - "Special Episode :: Tranquil Fury - द्रौपदी की कहानी, उसकी जुबानी (Aapbeeti)" Elsewhere on the web: http://tabseabtak.com http://instagram.com/tabseabtak About the Tab Se Ab Tak Podcast: This show tells stories from the World Mythology (mostly Hindu, Greek, Egyptian, Sumerian, and far-eastern mythologies,) and World History (mostly Indian, European, American,) and shares the folklore from around the world.

Story 14 :: Immoral Choices and Beautiful Men (The Story of Dorian Gray) - (Motivational and Philosophical) - Hindi
What will you do if you were so beautiful that people never distrust you? What will you do if your beauty was perpetual…if you never aged a day? अगर आपकी सुंदरता की वजह से लोग आपकी हर गलती को अनदेखा कर देतें हैं, तो क्या आप इसका नाजायज़ फायदा नहीं उठाएंगे? और अगर आपकी सुंदरता कभी ढले ही नहीं, तो क्या आप अपने innocence को बरक़रार रख पाएंगे? If you haven’t read “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde, you should read it. If you have read it and haven’t figured it out, you probably read it when you were too young. If you have read and understood it - I’d love to hear your thoughts, but before sending them in, do listen to mine. In this episode, I tell you the story of this amazingly philosophical, possibly autobiographical story by Oscar Wilde, the writer who helped me figure out why art will always be felt and never understood. अगर आपने Oscar Wilde की story "The Picture of Dorian Gray" नहीं पढ़ी है, तो इसे ज़रूर पढ़ें। अगर आपने...

Little Nothings 7 :: Govt. Schools + ग़ायब Teachers = Real Heroes. (Motivation & Success) (English/Hindi)
सरकारी स्कूलों में पढ़ना एक बात है, और teachers की absence को routine मान कर, खुद को संभाल कर, independent हो कर, आगे बढ़ना - यह heroic नहीं तो और क्या है? इस episode में मैं अपनी आपबीती आपके साथ share कर रही हूँ। उम्मीद है की इस episode से मैं prove कर पाऊँगी, कि "सरकारी Schools + ग़ायब Teachers = असली Heroes!" Government Schools in the northern belt of India (Rajasthan, Haryana, UP, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar) are mostly Hindi Medium, and I’ve studied in a few of those (in Rajasthan and UP.) What I learned by studying in those schools is that kids who study in those schools learn a lot more than just their subjects (which they sometimes don’t learn much of) - they become stronger, more independent, and if they take things in their stride, they also turn out be a lot smarter than their more privileged counterparts. Note: This episode is a bit autobiographical, especially the LHS of the Equation :) #inspiration #motivation #success #hindi अपनी सरकारी स्कूल में पढ़ने की कहानी मुझसे Share कीजिये। Click/Tap here to record your viewpoint, and send it in as...

Story 1 :: Decisions & Regrets - a Mahabharat Story - Inspiration and Motivation (Hindi/English)
A decision is never right or wrong; it's the result of a decision that's favorable or unfavorable. If you've been regretting a decision that you've made, and you may have made quite a few recently - then you should remember that decisions that went wrong have been taken by people throughout our history and mythology - and that whether or not a decision turns out to be right, depends on factors that are beyond your control. महाभारत की इस कहानी में हम दो लोगों के निर्णयों को, और उन निर्णयों के परिणामों की बात करते हैं - यह समझने के लिए कि निर्णय लेना हमारे हाथ में है, पर उसके परिणाम कई और बातों पर निर्भर हैं. जब आपके decisions के outcomes आपकी नींद उड़ा देते हैं, जब आप बेचैन हो उठते हैं, अतीत में लिए किसी निर्णय की वजह से, तब एक ४००० साल पुरानी कहानी आपको बताती है, कि क्यों नतीजा ठीक नहीं निकलने के बावजूद आपका decision गलत नहीं था। Host's Favorite Episode: Story 21 - "Special Episode :: Tranquil Fury - द्रौपदी की कहानी, उसकी जुबानी (Aapbeeti)" Elsewhere on the web: http://tabseabtak.com http://instagram.com/tabseabtak About the Tab Se Ab Tak Podcast: This show tells stories from the World Mythology (mostly Hindu, Greek, Egyptian, Sumerian, and far-eastern mythologies,) and World History (mostly Indian, European, American,) and shares the folklore from around the world.

Dark complexion....ummm... The list can go on and on and on… And you know what? It’s all stereotyping. Why do we do it? Actually, we don’t. Our brain does it for us.

Episode 14 :: Have you found it difficult to continue pouring effort into an endless pit without knowing if it would ever get filled? Have you experienced the high and the low tides of motivation – flooding your existence in one moment and leaving you with a feeling of hopelessness, the next? Have you found yourself questioning the rationale of working day after day, doing something that empirically has a very low chance of success? Entrepreneurs feel it all the time, so do writers, artists, singers, bloggers… in fact anyone who must toil for a fruit that...

To-Do Lists and their 3 Must-Dos!
Episode 13 :: If you are a working professional, there’s a good chance that you know about the oh-so-seductive to-do lists already! A daily to-do list helps us stay on track with our tasks and ensures that we don’t slip. It helps us manage our time judiciously and also ensures that we don’t forget anything! But there’s a catch. A to-do list must be created right – only then it stays effective. Just jotting down a few points and ticking them off isn’t sufficient. A great to-do list helps us improve our skills...

Episode 11 :: If you are a lefty, rejoice, because people around you envy the fact that to look different, all you need to do is be yourself. In this episode marinated in irony and satire, a lefty-ambi shares her feelings on being a lefty and talks about the challenges of existing as a lefty in a world that’s designed for the right-handed majority. Lefties are about 10% of the world population – and many have grown up in societies where the left has symbolized evil, and where the left hand is never used for anything pious or good...

When your manager lingers about your work-desk or pulls a chair next to you, and tells you what should be done, critically examines every little thing you do, and essentially robs you of all the happiness that you could’ve gotten from your work, you are being micro-managed. In this episode, join me on a trip into my past to meet my micro-manager, let off your steam by talking about micro-managers of all sorts, and then leave with a four-step tried and tested process to manage an...

Overcome Overanalysis – Embrace Happiness
Are you intelligent? Then you aren’t as happy as you could be if only you were a fool. I’ve heard that happiness loves the company of fools – and there’s a reason behind it. A fool doesn’t have the cranial machinery to analyze or overanalyze, and over analysis is a monster that feasts on our happiness! While our wellwishers often speak to us about Analysis Paralysis and tell us not to over-analyze…we seldom talk about why over analysis happens and how we can stop ourselves from overanalyzing.

In this episode I talk about the brilliant jerks and the faux brilliant jerks who are actually plain jerks, and why it’s a good idea to not sand the jaggy-edges of the brilliant jerks.

The rut is unchanging and results in boredom. It is a killer of creativity, inspiration, and happiness – and yet, the rut is necessary too.
