The SoapyRao ShowGlad I was a bad studentI’ve faced the truth and I’m glad I was bad at academics! It’s weird to say it, but thanks to not being a good student I learnt more. I was able to look at options outside conventional jobs and paths to success.. whatever that means. Anyway, what I am glad of is that I am working for myself,on myself and answering to myself! Hope you enjoy the episode! It was not brought to you by Jockey.Take care, stay safe and wax your balls!Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...

The SoapyRao ShowMy quarantine storyThe people who throw their weight around and intimidate individuals are the ones who are most insecure and unsure of their power or themselves. On this week’s episode I talk about the incident at home where we had to deal with the thugs from the BBMP (the local government body responsible for handling the pandemic); or at least they are supposed to. The drama and the confusion on their end is ridiculous yet sadly reflective of the state in which most institutions are dealing with this pandemic in. Thanks for being a part of the Babybed journey! Hope...
