   Co-Founder Of Boketto Travels Reveals The #1 Biggest Mistake Travelers Make While Travelling Ep.130

   Can you travel internationally under ₹1 lakh? Is taking a loan to travel worth it? And what happens when you go on a trip with complete strangers? In Episode 130 of Aleena Dissects, Aakarsh Mehra, Co-founder of Boketto Travels, joins Aleena for a conversation about solo travel, international trip budgets, travel safety, and the changing way young Indians explore the world. Aakarsh Mehra shares how group trips with strangers can turn into meaningful friendships, why travelling with the right people matters, and what first-time solo travellers should know before booking their next adventure. We also discuss the real cost of international travel, destinations like Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, the risks of overplanning a holiday, and whether taking a loan or paying through EMIs to travel makes sense. On the business side, Aakarsh Mehra opens up about building Boketto Travels, creating an invite-only travel community, rejecting unsuitable applicants, and the challenges of scaling a people-first travel business.

   The Dangerous Mistake of Treating Chest Pain as Gas Says Senior Cardiac Expert Dr. Ajit Menon.

   Dr. Ajit Menon, Director of Cardiac Sciences, Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, Mumbai joins Aleena Dissects to break down one of the most confusing questions: is it gas, acidity, or a heart attack? He explains why some heart attack symptoms can be easily mistaken for everyday discomfort and why ignoring them can be dangerous. From burping and acidity-like symptoms to breathlessness, chest discomfort and pain during exercise, Dr. Menon explains the signs people often overlook. He also talks about silent heart attacks, why diabetic patients may experience different symptoms, and why even young and seemingly fit people need to understand their heart health and risk factors. The conversation also covers family history, cholesterol, stress, lifestyle, smoking, alcohol, exercise and what happens when heart-related symptoms are ignored. If you’ve ever wondered how to tell the difference between gas and a heart attack, this episode is a conversation worth watching.
