Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai

Image
T his post is dedicated to introducing my Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai . I have made this podcast with an intention to connect to people through my voice. This is not only a means of sharing my views and stories with the world but is also a medium to talk to myself.   A podcast is a good medium to connect with people as it does not demand the attention of your eyes; all it wants from you is to lend your ears. Often when you are commuting on a bus or in a metro, listening to a podcast can be a great idea: All you need is an earphone and bingo! My Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai has a Trailer as an introduction and episodes that are published from time to time. All the episodes so far have been archived below with dedicated links for one-click listening. Also, it is my humble request to leave your valuable feedback and comments on this post or on my  Instagram page   https://www.instagram.com/neoimaginations/     Twitter handle  Bus Kahani Hai              Latest Episodes Episode 4 : Khidki Ke Baa

AAP used a smaller domestic broom of average size a year back. As a common man I failed to understand the sense behind this social gesture appearing every hour on my social networking site. Sick of watching celebrities and want to be celebrities types with meticulous update of snapshots to continue the trend further. The PM sir wished more than mere upload of pictures and once in a lifetime broom holding. He meant to instill the importance and inculcate a habit of cleanliness to extend beyond the walls of ones house and to reach vastness of locality, city and country as a whole. But I

Disclaimer: This post is not political in nature and only intends to showcase my take and views for the Nation and its Political ethics.                 In the past few years more scams have been exposed than the false promises made to Aam Janta. The ruling party did its share and the opposition party did not repose either. If Congress is the undisputed king of corruption, BJP did not mind finishing as runner-up in the league. The Aam Janta has undergone a lot of agony in the past years for the hundred thousand scams that come as a slap flat on their faces.                                                  We are an educated nation and we dont need the dirty blame game anymore.  Last week our good capable leader Mr. Narendra Modi addressed the nation keeping in mind the 2014 General Election. But it was more of  an anti Congress speech than BJP s own agenda for the upcoming elections. We want to know your party ' s vision for the nation. We want to know, 'wh

My cell phone also got stolen.       If you don't mind please help me with Rs 100/- please. Me: (with a smile) Sorry but i have been fooled enough with this same
