Advertise on podcast: Being Candid with Pinaki Siwach

I find it extremely hard to fall asleep sometime and I always try to find the perfect background music to play. Now that I’m home, I decided to record how it would truly be as I myself fell asleep to this rainfall in the city.

I’ve been out of touch with my creative self and I honestly felt lost in many ways. My guiding light might be my creative hats (as Serene taught us), that we keep in the closet but rarely use. 2026 gives a fresh breath of air that truly reminds me of the days 2016 (or I’d like to think so). I have decided to come back into my true happy self as I did since I picked up colors and paper. Honestly trying to pick up this podcast to have fun with my friends and document part of my life here!

When you think it’s too late, the truth is, it’s still early! • Timestamp: 00:27 - University Research; 04:26 - Mathematics and Economics; 06:30 - Building a CV/Resume; 08:54 - A habit of journaling; 10:50 - Self Perception | Sleepy Fish - Butterfly https://chillhop.com Sleepy Fish - for when it's warmer https://chll.to/3fe632f2

It’s been hard for everyone. I hope you are doing fine emotionally, mentally and physically. This is just a fraction of how we felt, there’s much more pain and grief within us and a lot of learnings. We lost many of our family members and if there is anything I’d like to take from it is that family is everything. My father had a rebirth and he is surely a different man than I knew before. We came out of it physically but we still are working on our emotional and mental health as a family for the first time. Take care of yourself and talk to people. ||| Watercolors - Walks By The Pond https://chillhop.com

This year brought me a lot of learnings and I tried to talk about some of it in this raw episode. I hope this makes sense to you because I recorded this in one go and I haven’t edited a single second. I wish you take something out of it. I fumbled, took long gaps, stopped when my voice started to shake but I did it (I guess). I do not expect anything out of this episode, I did it with my heart and I genuinely hope that we all become better individuals. [I know I’m going to cringe later but at this moment this feels right, so I did it!]

“When you love someone you don’t know why.” In this episode, I along with Stéphanie Rusch we’ll tell our experience of the exchange program. We’ll talk about our little story and the bond that we created in a very short span of time, and how that has grown into a family now! The creative art is by Emma Rusch. I hope you get something out of it, or maybe smile a little. You’re welcome to write to me, at - [email protected]

In this episode, Gayatri, Ishita, Vaanya, and I will talk about our friendship. We’ll go through first interactions, to random school stories, and importance of friendships. I hope you enjoy listening!

I always look forward to having meaningful conversations with people. I have started this podcast because I believe that there are so many things that I care about on which I want to talk about. I wish to put my thoughts and my visions as candidly as I can. My purpose is to put a positive outlook and think out loud with you! You can write to me at - [email protected]
