A rainbow colored tee shirt sparked a very interesting comment which led to a conversation with my 10 year old, followed by my own moments of introspection. Have we created differences just to glorify them or to truly accept these without judgement? Do tune in …

A photograph, a chant, a downhill descent, and yes the Beatles , all make for a very different take on motivation on my episode today. Tune in to find out exactly how !

Winter sunsets through a tree, bereft of a single leaf, can offer a beautiful lesson in joy, humility and more. When a friend’s photograph made me relook at a 20 year old view from my backyard, I knew there was something pretty mind blowing, in what had become quite mundane.

As we close off this year, there is a lot in each of our minds that make it stressful. Join me on my podcast, as you wind down the week, for 6 minutes of simple joys in an otherwise complex world.

This time on Mindblowingly Mundane - the story of The Barren Tree.

Winter sunsets through a tree bereft of a single leaf can offer a beautiful lesson of joy, humility and then some. Tune in to learn more of yet another ordinary moment that held within it much to be inspired by. Episode Pic Credits: Abhishek Purakayastha

Welcome back to Season 2 of my podcast Ladies and Gentlemen. Mindblowingly Mundane is back after a break as we continue to look for the joys of everyday and the extra in the ordinary. Today’s episode talks about a seeming paradox, but probably a deeply inspiring one.

Check out the cracks ... light comes in best through those...

This time on Mindblowingly Mundane, a little story from my windshield.

Happy weekend y’all. Stay lit.

It’s been a while... tune in when you get a second... well actually 5 minutes 😄😄 for something neither Mindblowing nor mundane, but something quite real...

When those dear to you face insurmountable pain, you pause a bit and realize there are so many who we don’t know, who also bear very heavy crosses.

02/05/2021

This time on Mindblowingly Mundane , we unplug and pause. But before we that, do tune in for a very unscripted episode about a reality I can’t ignore, or hide, behind a facade, or a smile.

Truths unplugged are just as mundane, as they are mindblowing. I invite you to join me if you would like to hear a very different kinda perspective on my podcast.

Sincerely

Pritha.

From me to you... unscripted, unedited !

Once upon a perfect fall afternoon, two birds decided to teach me some important lessons. Tune into this episode of Mindblowingly Mundane to listen to this special story. It is not uncommon to leave a little bit of water for birds in the summer, no matter where in the world you are. And the next time you do, I hope my little anecdote makes you smile. ☺️

It is Easter.

My friends of the faith are spending a weekend of thought and prayer with their families listening to the .

It is also April. A new month of new beginnings, and a new story on my podcast. The theme of this month is “fitting in” in the larger scheme of things.

I never plan for coincidences, but a quote by President Russell M. Nelson from one of his talks yesterday, made me feel that, somewhere in this infinitely large Universe, this little space I share with all of you, fits in.

“Difficult trials often provide opportunities that grow what would not have a come in any other way”

What have your experiences been with truths that are different from yours? Did they conflict, collide or coalesce?

Tune in to this episode of Mindblowingly Mundane to find out the meaning behind the word “Isha” that spans some pretty expansive views culturally, and how this one word helped me personally, to reconcile truths in a world, that seems so ready to thrive on strife and conflict.

It’s a work in progress but the process of discovery has been far from mundane.

What have your experiences been with truths that are different from yours? Did they conflict, collide or coalesce? Did they reinforce your own truths better for you and solidify your journey? Or did they make you question your views and make you take a long hard look and do some resets in your mind....

Today we talk about the incense stick.

No, not so much the fragrance, but rather the form, with which it spreads. Notice how it always rises up? Ever wonder what analogy one may find in life with something so obvious?

Tune in to get a whiff and more !

A quick note for my Indian audience, the background score will definitely bring a smile 😎❤️

An undone sweater by my friend Aparna Bose on the other side of the globe was anything but mundane. Actually the more I thought about it ... well, ..you’ll just have to tune in to find out what happened.

This time on Mindblowingly Mundane, two half knit pieces of fabric, two pairs of knitting needles, and two balls of yarn, all continents apart, spin an interesting tale.

Do listen in when you have a few minutes to spare, and are looking to pause in the midst of the ordinary, to find that bit of "extra'. While you may or may not want to take up knitting, I most unquestionably guarantee you a smile. !

Have you ever wondered what motivates an individual to start on the most unexpected journeys and see them through completion?

Is it because of their situations and circumstances, or their own drive to take on new challenges?

Do such people only exist on the glossy covers of magazines or are they regular human beings like you and I ?

Tune in to this very special episode of Mindblowingly Mundane to learn about an artist, a dancer, a mom, a commercial ( Semi ) truck driver and a hiker ... oh wait, did I mention, they are all one person ? Yes my dear friend for several years now, Mindy Olsen is all of those things and more, and what makes her so?

Saraswati is the Hindu Goddess of Knowledge and Learning in every form. It is customary to offer all forms of learning instruments at the altar for her to bless. From books to electronics to dance shoes to piano files to podcast headsets...
hopefully She blesses it all.

Most importantly hope She blesses us with Knowledge of the truest kind.

Do you talk to your plants at home? Do they talk back? Or do they teach you simplest at yet the most profound of truths with their silence?

Heaven knows we could all laugh a bit and not take life too seriously?

Several years ago, a store associate taught me how, and till date, when things get a little too serious I find myself going back to “girly pockets” and giggling to myself. Maybe you will too 😉😃

Have we forgotten how to laugh? I mean really? Have we gotten so embroiled between the strange cadence of political correctness, and taking offense at every little thing? Why do we take ourselves so seriously? What happens when we don't ? A wonderful woman showed me how, and that memory makes me chu...
