There is a growing sense of fatigue due to the alarming reports on climate change, compounded by the increasingly extreme weather conditions we experience. We participated in a course called ‘Knowledge2Action’ that exposed us to the different facets of climate change.

In this episode, we inquire into meaningful outlooks to addressing the climate change crisis in relatable ways. We explore the fear, motivation, and pain axes that help us overcome barriers and take action. Climate change becomes a central topic in many contemporary discussions. We invite fellow listeners to share their thoughts and ideas on this important issue. Please share the podcast so like-minded people can come together and navigate this unfamiliar space.

I speak to Ajay Binani, a voracious reader who is building a readers’ club. I speak to him about the book ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’. He vouches for the book. He says it has helped him pay attention to things that matter in life. I show up to the conversation a little sceptical and silly.

Visiting a new place can be an exhilarating experience for most of us. It challenges our assumptions about the world in which we live. Our host, Arjun, an amateur traveller, takes us through such an experience. We chat about how the environment presents itself to a curious visitor, the details that would go unnoticed otherwise, and how interesting conversations take place in unlikely places.
