What’s your SITUATIONSHIP with MONEY? Ft. A Multi-Generational ConversationHello and welcome to Attitude Makeover! Y’all probably know how we roll by now, but this time I’ve tried bringing something experimental – about a topic that is very personal yet universal: Our relationship with money.Presenting to you: Working, independent individuals – Nishmitha, Arti, Amogh – in their early 20s, late 20s, mid 30s and yours truly (repping the 40s club!)Five minutes in and you’ll be able to tell which one of us is which. And that is very telling about how every generation and its perspective and perception of money varies as well! We don’t hold back and touch upon every aspect of life that is impacted/influenced by money (which is practically EVERYTHING)From circumstances to choices, we delve into the nitty-gritties that determine how we manage our finances. This includes our childhoods, familial dynamics, life stage and most importantly: our privilege and outlook towards life – the balance between our needs and wants in today’s modern and increasingly capitalistic world.The aim was to start a conversation and normalist discussions on money without the unspoken yet very evident feeling of embarrassment or shame attached to it. I think we did manage that (and how!), but here’s your major takeaway: As you work for money, become aware of your finances from the get-go and talk about it in your safe spaces to “make the money work for you.”Like, share and subscribe! Leave your thoughts in the comments below – Which person (read: generation) did you relate to the most?

Situationship with Money | Ft. A Multi-Generational Conversation

Welcome to another episode of Attitude Makeover! This one’s for your mind, quite literally. Khurshed Batliwala, fondly known as Bawa (@khurshedbatliwala) or <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCGHjx7-g9CpUohp0epnqHEg" target="_blank"> @BnDTV </a> is a meditation teacher, wellness & sleep expert, an alternative healer, a best-selling author and personal coach. Drawing on his own knowledge and experience, his engaging insights for us are a blend of logic, belief and actionable wisdom. With IIT Bombay and mathematics as his early choices, he stumbled upon the purpose of his life through meditation. With this very lens, Bawa brings perspective to the ‘Attitude Makeover’ where change comes from the power within you and what you need to tap into it – a calm, clear mind. “Internal world powers the external world, while the external affects the internal.” And so this conversation is the sum total of an experience of choosing to work on oneself from the inside out. Do you think that straight up means “renouncing the world” of sorts? Not one bit, Bawa says, because it’s about doing everything, just not at the cost of your happiness and health. So, if you are looking to make lifestyle changes, channel your mind to be good to you, and start meditating (finally!) or just even seeking ways to sleep or breathe better - TUNE IN NOW.﻿

Hello and welcome back. It’s another week, another conversation! This time, it’s a tad bit closer to my heart because it’s with someone I’ve worked with, I consider him dear and in direct and indirect ways he’s been an impactful, intentional influence in my journey. Say hello to Shriram Parthasarathy, the Social Media Operations & Execution Lead (Asia) at Microsoft! He calls himself a Curious Conversationalist and stands by it every step of the way as you shall discover along the conversation itself. At the intersection of technology and inclusivity, we talk about the processes of conversation which are intentional for each of us to find and hold our own space. Having lived with a sight-related disability, Shri grew into navigating, discovering (and rediscovering) his individuality, resilience and his most authentic self which he makes it a point to bring into every single conversation. For he believes, curiosity, courage and clarity channeled with intentional inclusion create a unique recipe for growth and impact.  We talk about music, movies, books and the rhythm of life in its truest sense. From what it means to be inclusive (as an ally) practically and the mainstream disability discourse in India, we learn to not see the problem in isolation. Another crucial aspect of his life: Technology – his own self-discovery through it, how it is an enabler and the mindset it demands of an individual to “work life out together.” Attitude Makeover for him, is “a work in progress to discover and rediscover your authentic self.” Tune in for gems from Shri’s journey that are sure to ponder over.

Ep55/w Sanchita Mukherjee - Master your Money Mindset | Change Catalyst series

Hi everyone, in this episode of Change Catalyst by Attitude Makeover, I am thrilled to be joined by Ashok Krish, an insightful and accomplished author of Masala Lab: The Science Of Indian Cooking, a book that seamlessly blends candid anecdotes with insightful culinary science. Ashok also serves as the Global Head of Digital Workspace at Tata Consultancy Services in Chennai.  The episode begins with a captivating journey through Ashok's early years, as he maneuvers through his experiences traveling from city to city, immersing himself in the rich tapestry of beliefs and customs that vary across India's diverse regions. Growing up in a family steeped in music and culinary traditions, Ashok developed an innate ability to identify and embrace the cultural influences that have shaped generations, shaping his own identity and perspectives. Ashok further delves into the process of selecting myths to debunk, shedding light on the chasm between scientific research and public perception.He also highlights the stark contrast between how lay people perceive scientific research and how professionals interpret it, emphasizing how this disparity often fuels the propagation of false beliefs and gives rise to conflicting narratives surrounding a single topic. Additionally, Ashok also elucidates the pervasive influence of mainstream media, exposing how it often manipulates facts to create a distorted reality, therefore reinforcing the biases.   In India, where the Vedas are revered as religious scriptures and Sanskrit is regarded with unwavering reverence, Ashok challenges the notion of animal cruelty embedded within these sacred texts. He meticulously dissects the ancient Hindu scriptures, revealing how they often condone or even encourage the harming of animals.  Navigating the intricate web of Indian culinary traditions, Ashok unravels the myths that have long shrouded the practice of food production, even in vegetarian and vegan settings. He unveils the sobering truth that no form of food production is entirely devoid of animal cruelty, a reality often obscured by the comforting veil of religious fundamentalism. He astutely illustrates that Indians possess a remarkable ability to navigate the ethical complexities surrounding their dietary choices, often finding ingenious solutions that align with their religious beliefs and personal comfort zones. In a thought-provoking conclusion, Ashok challenges the conventional wisdom that equates debate with the pinnacle of learning. He asserts that in today's information-saturated world, mere argumentation often fails to foster genuine understanding or shift deeply entrenched beliefs. Instead, he advocates for a more nuanced approach to discourse, one that emphasizes empathy, critical thinking, and a willingness to embrace new perspectives. As Ashok champions the power of self-reflection in guiding informed decision-making, the entire episode emerges as a compelling testament to the transformative power of inclusivity in fostering personal growth and collective understanding.

Ep54/w Krish Ashok - Busting Myths with Intriguing Science | Change Catalyst

Hi everyone, it is my absolute honour to have Gita Balakrishnan with me for the premiere episode of my new series, Change Catalyst. Gita, an architect who truly followed an unconventional practice as she believed she was doing what she was best at, started her organisation ETHOS which serves as a nurturing ground for architects and students nationwide. Within its embrace, ETHOS harmoniously aligns passion and skill, empowering individuals to become catalysts for change. Drawing inspiration from the 1987 walk of Sunil Dutt from Bombay to Amritsar and fueled by her unwavering passion for running, Gita translated this fervour into a noble endeavour to stride for a meaningful cause. Amidst the turbulence of the pandemic, as numerous daily wage labourers were compelled to migrate, their livelihoods upended, Gita, embarked on a journey that sought not only to fathom the struggles of these harbingers, crucial to the visual allure of towns but to also spotlight the role of good design and architecture in fostering the cultural and geographical tapestry of our nation. Reminiscing about her 1,700-kilometer journey from Kolkata to Delhi, Gita also shares the challenges and triumphs of being a woman on the road. From hygiene to safety, Gita faced it all with grit and grace. But the journey was more than just a physical challenge; it was also an introspective experience that helped her overcome her past and become more accepting of the situations. "I used to keep writing, thinking, and reading about what I wanted to do." Driven by an insatiable quest for good, Gita is determined to make a difference, not just in her own life, but in the lives of thousands of others. She is committed to building a legacy of work that will have a lasting impact, and to creating something that will transcend her own time and place. Conclusively, when asked why she decided to walk such a long distance, Gita articulates the need to experience the sunshine and rain of people's struggles to truly change their lives.Navigating the pressures with grace and gratitude, She is now working on six key areas to expand the definition of architecture beyond mere structures and to stretch the limits of creativity and design, connecting culture with people.

Ep53 w/ Gita Balakrishnan - Commandments of A Quest, 1,700km of Transforming Walk | Change Catalyst

We’ve got the whole family for Episode 52! ﻿And a musical one that works together to build a business at that! It is my delight to be joined by CA Ravi, Gayathri Ravi, Rahul Ravi and Raksha Ravi - the dynamic family that has come together to shape AltEd Pro, an initiative aimed at mentoring people in the area of applied knowledge, skills & thinking. In their own right, each of them are involved in music - as composers, teachers and singers! Which is why this conversation with the whole Ravi family is all about core values that not only illuminate their experiences and path to self-discovery but also sculpt the very essence of individuality. With the broader view of them as a single unit, we get into understanding the nuances of interpersonal threads including marriage and parenting to entrepreneurial journey and partnerships. Work and life, passions and aspirations, ambiguity and pressure, choices and decisions - we flip and flesh out every aspect of what it takes to embrace growth and success. And when they say it takes a village, it surely does start from the home with a family that sticks together. This conversation, like this family, is multi-faceted. There’s a takeaway for every generation. Or simply, for every entrepreneur who must and should have their family on their side in any possible capacity of support. Tune in now!

Ep52 w/ CA Ravi & Family - How to take the plunge WITH family as the unit

Welcome to Episode Number 51!  It’s my absolute delight to have Devi Mani as the guest for this episode who drove the point that there’s nothing more impactful than ‘conversation’. Devi is a corporate professional turned entrepreneur and the founder of Skooc, a health tech start-up focussed on children's health and well being. With her own core values and experiences reflecting in all the work she does, we delve into a conscious conversation about the space and power mental health holds in our society. Expanding from the core lens of being an ambitious woman entrepreneur, she wonderfully articulates her own journey driven by career, marriage, parenting and more. From power holding structures to financial independence, she helps deconstruct concepts of guilt, loneliness, female friendships and personal integrity.  Every theme we touch upon — be it masculinity, bullying or about having a yearly ‘Manifesto’ – is underlined by the sensibilities of what an empowered perspective really can do to move the needle towards better personal and collective mindset growth. "Deliberate intervention is a must for well-being"…and an Attitude Makeover starts here.

Ep51 w/ Devi Mani - Why is it necessary to have a conscious conversation?

We hit half a century! For the milestone Episode 50, I couldn’t have had a better guest than my dear friend and the powerhouse - chief by role and chef by passion - Kanishka Sharma a.k.a. The Tenth Muse, co-founder of Bengaluru's scrumptious NAVU Project! We celebrate together with a conversation fuelled by growth and the courage to chase dreams. Beyond her delectable dishes, Kanishka's journey is a melting pot of passion, challenges and triumphs. Bringing it all, we talk about lived experiences, entrepreneurial journeys in a passion economy and food - from frog legs to Podi Idli! As somebody who took the plunge long before me, we relate and share our thoughts on navigating personal relationships with money, adversity, partnerships and people along the way. She’s a woman entrepreneur and a woman chef, both together. She breaks the mold.
