114. Cargo Ship Collision In Baltimore
It’s all over the news today and you’ve probably heard about the cargo ship that collided with a bridge in Baltimore leading to its collapse and the loss of 6 lives. But what really happened? What went wrong? What were the sequence of events leading to the collision? While I don’t have all the answers, I have a theory about what happened based on the video doing the rounds on the internet. I may be wrong but I did spend a significant amount of time on cargo ships so I do know a thing or two...this is at best an educated guess.

Yes, that's correct, I am now sans spectacles though everyone says I looked better with them, much to my chagrin. In this episode, i talk about what its like to undergo laser eye surgery or LASIK. I feel like there's enough literature about what it is but I had no information going in about what i might experience. So this is my point of view of the whole ordeal.
A big big thanks to the doctors and staff at Shroff Eye Center in New Delhi. A very competent and pleasant bunch of people who made this experience less daunting for someone who was getting operated on for the first time ever.

68. Movie Review : Morbius (2022)
The old world is back and i am back at the theatres! I wanted to see just how bad this movie was and it surprisingly wasn't. I feel that people have been rather harsh in criticising this movie and everyone told me not to watch it based entirely on reviews. It wasn't bad. Tune in to listen to my review of the latest movie by Marvel.

67. My final assignment for Berklee (Music Theory and Composition 1)
Well its finally done! I have been pursuing a course in music theory and composition from Berklee Online and it has been an amazing learning experience. After 11 weeks, we were required to use everything we learnt to compose a score for the opening two minutes of the movie "Last time i saw Paris". While past assignments have been a lot easier to handle, this one has been the first proper test of knowledge and skill. Navigating through several constraints and figuring out the problems encountered on the way was not easy but now that I'm on the other side, I see the purpose of this assignment and i love the fact that they insist that you figure out the problem by yourself and we are here incase you need any help. So here is what i came up with and i do hope you like it.

66. My first composition!
Greetings and salutations! It feels so good to be back. A lot has been going on but we are back. After spending weeks learning music online and figuring out what works and what doesn't, I finally had the courage to test out my skills. In this episode, you'll get a chance to hear my first composition. I will admit it isn't the best and it surely isn't professional quality but it is my first attempt nonetheless. Headphones are recommended.
I am hoping i stay motivated enough to make this a recurring segment. Maybe throw in some rap lyrics here and there.

55. RONALDO!!!! And Gameweek 3 of the English Premier League.
RONALDOOOOOOO!!! He's back! What a time to be alive!
What a transfer window we are having.
I discuss all the action from the third game week. Disappointing time to be an Arsenal fan but happy days for Spurs who are off to a great start under new management. A great result for 10 man Chelsea against Liverpool and for United as well, getting all three points away at Wolves and setting a new record for most consecutive games unbeaten away from home. 28 on the trot, what a fantastic achievement, eclipsing the past record of the 2002-03 Arsenal's Invincibles. Points dropped everywhere, including West Ham and Norwich would consider themselves unlucky to not get a point from their game against Leicester.

52. The Premier League is back! Gameweek 1 (2021-22) results and analysis.
What a joyous occasion it is whenever football is back. And what a weekend it turned out to be. A great performance by Manchester United with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes combining perfectly and winning 5-1 against Leeds United. Big win for Tottenham against Manchester City in the midst of new management and the ongoing Harry Kane saga. Chelsea and Liverpool were comfortable winners in their season openers but Arsenal are off to a rough start. They lost 2-0 to new boys Brentford.
Huge points hauled in the Fantasy Premier League. Triple captaining Salah and Fernandes worked for a lot of people. I discuss some new signings, teams to look out for and how my team did this game week.

We've all heard about it. We've probably read about it. But I doubt we know what it's like to live with it. My good friend Paranshu joins me today over FaceTime to talk about living with diabetes.

She then explains what it actually is, what you need to do to live with and while it requires a change in lifestyle, with the help of some tech and support, it is totally manageable. An enlightening conversation with a lot of information i wasn't privy to previously.

What a landmark game week it turned out to be as fans returned to the stadiums once again after...well, you know what. Some big winners this week with Manchester City recording a comfortable win and characteristically Manchester United acting like Jekyll and Hyde again. Spurs find themselves at the top of the table after a convincing win against Arsenal where things are far from ideal at the moment. Liverpool getting back to their routine of dismantling teams making Anfield now an impenetrable fortress. Jamie Vardy completely destroying the corner flag after scoring in basically the last play of the game. Shawn Michaels would be so proud.
And the Champions League, could it be the last Messi vs Ronaldo face-off? Can Manchester United come out victorious away at Leipzig? And what about Inter Milan? And Real Madrid? So much going on! And it all starts later tonight.
