    Jun 7 2025

    Send us a text

    Have you ever wondered what it’s like to chase glaciers — not as a tourist, but as a purpose? ❄️ This isn’t just a video about melting ice. It’s about melting timelines. About the urgency buried deep within the mountains. About what could unfold in the next 50 years — if we keep looking away.

    In this deeply personal and data-rich episode, we sit down with Tirthankar Ghosh, a Ph.D. scholar at IIT Bombay and Monash University, as he unravels how one life-altering experience — the devastating 2013 Kedarnath disaster — became the turning point of his life and career in glaciology.

    Through heartfelt anecdotes and hard science, Tirthankar reflects on:
    ✅ How childhood road trips in the Himalayas planted the seeds of curiosity
    ✅ What glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) really are — and how they’re reshaping our future
    ✅ The chilling reality of vanishing villages in Ladakh, like Kumig, already abandoned due to disappearing glaciers
    ✅ Why people in cities like Delhi and Mumbai cannot afford to ignore mountain science
    ✅ And how AI, research, and long-term thinking must come together for global climate action

    This is not just a scientific conversation. It’s a call to reflect on what connects all of us — water, land, climate, and time.

  • India’s Next Crisis: Malnutrition & Failing Governance | Piyush Khare| Sonia Choksi| FWF
    May 16 2025

    Send us a text

    India is at a crossroads — not because we don’t know our problems, but because we keep chasing short-term comforts over long-term change.
    This video isn’t just about hunger, floods, or unemployment. It’s about a much deeper crisis: a silent breakdown of systems — governance, planning, values — and a generation growing up in its shadow.

    From flooded cities and paper leaks, to malnutrition among both slum and middle-class kids, we dive into what's failing, what’s ignored, and what can still be done.

    Meet Happy Faces, a grassroots movement from Vadodara, where 600+ citizens are doing what the system won’t — offering free education, healthcare, and dignity.

    We cover:
    🔸 How India's growth hides a crisis of hunger, neglect & misgovernance
    🔸 The long-term threat of malnutrition — and what kids are learning in its wake
    🔸 What influencers, youth, and YOU can actually do that matters
    🔸 A powerful reminder: This isn’t charity. This is what justice should look like.

    This is not a sob story.
    This is not charity promotion.
    This is a reality check — with a dash of hope.

    👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments. Do you feel the shift? Or are we still waiting for someone else to fix everything?

  • Inside a Woman’s Body & Mind: A Gynaecologist’s Guide to Owning Your Body | Dr. Yuvraj| Sonia Choksi
    May 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Why do many people feel uncomfortable when it comes to discussing women’s health, even with experts?

    What if the discomfort isn’t just about gender, but about the lack of understanding and inclusivity in healthcare?

    In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Yuvrajsingh Jadeja, a leading gynecologist and surrogacy expert, joins host Sonia Choksi to break down the barriers in women’s health and discuss the critical need for gender inclusivity in medical practice. From navigating societal biases to understanding the complexities of treating transgender patients, this episode challenges the traditional norms of gynecology and healthcare.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:
    -Why men should get tested in fertility cases (It’s not just the woman’s responsibility!)
    -The ideal age for HPV vaccination and why it’s important for both genders (yes, boys too!)
    -The shocking environmental factors that impact women's health and fertility (processed foods, plastics, and more!)
    -How gender inclusivity in healthcare can change the game for better patient care
    -What you didn’t know about fertility, menopause, and preventative care (all the actionable advice you need!)

    💬 Asking yourself:
    - Have I had a conversation about fertility testing with my partner?
    -Why don’t we talk enough about HPV vaccination for everyone?
    -What can we do to create more inclusive healthcare for ALL genders?

  • Breaking Free from Societal Labels: The Path to Understanding Your True Self | Sujata Malik| Sonia Choksi
    May 2 2025

    Send us a text

    What happens when we remove the labels society, family, or even trauma has placed on us?
    Who are we, really, beneath the roles we play?

    In this transformative episode, we sit down with Sujata, a deeply intuitive spiritual and emotional therapist with over two decades of experience guiding individuals and corporate leaders through healing and awakening.

    We talk about vibrations, identity, karma, pain, self-trust, and the quiet power of choosing awareness over autopilot. Sujata shares how familiar emotional patterns often trace back to karmic memory, and why real healing starts by owning, not avoiding, our emotions.

    She helps us understand:
    - Why your vibration drops after childhood
    - How pain shows up when emotions are undigested
    - Why dependency and rejection loop us into suffering
    - What it actually means to know yourself
    - How to raise your vibration and attract aligned energy
    - Whether self-love is selfish or spiritual

    This isn’t just a talk—it’s a journey inward. If you've been asking questions like:
    “Why am I not happy?”
    “What’s wrong with me?”
    “How do I feel more like myself again?”

    …then this episode may offer the guidance you didn’t know you were looking for.

    💫 Sujata’s wisdom is not scripted, it’s soul-led. Her words are a soft but powerful mirror,
    helping you remember who you are beneath all the layers.

  • The Truth About Tribal Rights in India
    Apr 25 2025

    Send us a text

    Trupti Parekh and Ambrish Mehta might look like any retired couple—until you hear their story.

    For 40+ years, they’ve lived with tribal communities in Narmada, fighting for land, dignity, and survival.

    To the people they support, they aren’t activists—they’re family.

    Even today, millions of tribals are called “encroachers” on forests they’ve lived in for generations.

    - Outdated British laws like the 1927 Forest Act still deny them rights.
    -Why does “development” often mean displacement for them?
    -And why are their voices still unheard in 2025, in free India?

    This isn't history—it's happening now. Watch to know the truth.
