It is becoming challenging to maintain wellbeing while dealing with the modern day complexities. As more and more of us find it difficult to create and maintain harmony in all spheres of life, it is becoming even more important to pay attention to our wellbeing. But first, we need to understand what wellbeing is, and how we can navigate this complex concept.
I asked these question to answer my PhD thesis and found it both personally and professional transformational. That is why I am sharing new insights, through this bilingual podcast, on wellbeing and human development, and hoping to help create a wellbeing movement where more and more of us live a more meaningful and purposeful life.
Through each episode, I challenge deeply held beliefs about wellbeing and human growth and expansion. Audience get a chance to self-reflect and have dialogues with others as they find their own answers after listening to the episodes.

Episode 8: Sleep is the Answer!
Send us a Text Message. (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2242419/open_sms)
If I said to you that you could sleep and dream to be successful in many areas of life then you’d probably laugh at me. And yet, that is precisely what I learnt from the 20 years of rigorous scientific research on the science of sleep and dreams! Listen to this episode to know why a regular 8 hours of sleep is more important than we think and a lack of it is more harmful than we know.
In this episode, I have shared personal experiences and key findings from several ground-breaking research studies on why we sleep and how it affects our entire biology. Since sleep is not a well understood process, many of us have a casual apathy towards it, but Dr Walker and other scientists warn that we simply cannot afford to do that. There is no part of our body, mind, and society that is spared by the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Wellbeing Central Episode 6: What is a good life? The voice of migrant workers!
In this episode, I’ve shared what the migrant workers in Qatar taught me about life. Since moving to Qatar, I often wondered about the juxtaposition of migrant workers in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. I wanted to learn how they experience wellbeing, what is the driving force of life for them? While there were many news reports about their situation, I wanted to ask them what they really thought about a good life.
So, I decided to reach out to them. What they shared with me made me reflect on my own understanding of life. Have a listen to the many voices of humanity trying to make sense of what life is all about.

मेरी माँ की भाषा: संपूर्ण जीवन का एक अहम हिस्सा!
मेरे माता पिता ने मुझे अपनी नेटिव भाषा भोजपुरी सिखायी और इसके कारण हमने जीवन में कई बातें सीखी और जीवन का भरपूर आनंद उठाया।
आज दुनिया भर में पाँच करोड़ लोग भोजपुरी बोलते हैं, पर जैसे जैसे बिहार में राजनीतिक और सामाजिक बदलाव आय, इस भाषा को या तो पिछड़ापन या फिर अश्लीलता से जोड़ा जाने लगा। यह संभव है की कई लोगों ने अपने बच्चों को बिहार की गिरती छवि से बचाने की कोशिश में भोजपुरी नहीं सिखाया।
अपनी भाषा को समझना बहुत ज़रूरी है क्योंकि एक भाषा से हमारी संस्कृति की कई सारी बातें जुड़ी होती हैं, और अगर हमने उसे खो दिया तो फिर धीरे धीरे हमारी पूरी संस्कृति भी ख़त्म हो सकती है। जब एक इमारत की नींव कमजोर होगी तो वह इमारत कितनी मज़बूत होगी?
इस एपिसोड में मैंने एक संपूर्ण जीवन के लिए अपनी भाषा के महत्व को अपने अनुभवों के आधार पर बताया है।

Living in Qatar: Finding my oasis in a desert
When I came to live in Qatar from Australia, I brought along with me several ideas and preconceived notions. This podcast is about how those ideas were challenged and what happened when I started seeing what Qatar is and not what I wanted it to be.
I am hoping that many people would relate to my experiences or at least better understand others who may have similar experiences after moving to this country.
For those who haven't visited Qatar and have some ideas and perceptions based mainly on media reports, I hope that some of those ideas may be revised.

लोग ज्यादा नहीं बदलते----- हमें केवल तभी तक सिखाया और ढाला जा सकता है जब तक हम बच्चे हैं लेकिन उसके बादहमारी सोच और व्यवहार लगभग वही रहते हैं----- हमने इस तरह की बातें कई बार सुनी होगी, लेकिन क्या ये सच है?
बच्चों की तरह हम एडल्ट्स भी आजीवन विकसित हो सकते हैं लेकिन उसकी कुछ शर्ते हैं।
पीएचडी करते समय मुझे इस बारे में कई सारी नयी बातें मालूम हुई जिसे मैं अपने अनुभव के माध्यम से आप के साथ शेयर कर रही हूँ।

Wellbeing Central: Different Stations Different Views!
"People don’t change much! We could be taught and moulded only until we are children but not much after that."
We may have heard these sentiments many times before, but is it true? We know that children grow and develop in stages – new born, infant, toddler, pre-schooler, School aged, and teens before they become adults. But what happens after that? Do adults stop growing and developing?
Just like children, adults also develop through stages which is known as vertical growth. In this episode, I take a dive into adult development based on my PhD thesis findings and my personal experiences. I offer examples of the seven key stages of adult development through my own journey and invite your own reflections on how it may help you better understand people and situations in your life.
