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 All the episodes so far have been archived below with dedicated links for one-click listening.

This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda . "Thanking blogAdda for giving me the opportunity to write about someone who was more than a friend. Linking you gives me the link to every good friend I have in my life today." The winters of 1999 will always remain deep etched in the chapters of my life. I joined the new KV Bangalore Jalahalli East in the middle of the academic year. The first day in the class and i felt isolated and secluded.

The short cut passed through a forest area that was very dense and serene in itself. We enjoyed the half n hour walk talking about school

Sreesanth bowling in slow motion action replay with a red circle on his waist highlighting the tool of spot fixing aka towel . The towel company losing million dollar business for not branding it broadly to  make the brand name legible on camera. Poor guys never knew Sreesanth would endorse it free of cost at the cost of marring his own cricketing career.                                   Female models doing compromising deals and also doing compromising positions, bookies using nick names, Dawood  of D Company once again making headlines without much evidence and phone taps.

Prime ministers of both sides trying their best to sing Indian chini bhai bhai and talking on issues that are much
