Little Mind Chats – Details, episodes & analysis

"Everyday is our environment Day". I'm truly blessed that one of the most inspiring mentors, Mrs Vani Murthy, more famously known as 'Worm Rani' agreed to be on my podcast on this 'World Environment Day'.

Vani Murthy ji has been living a 0 waste lifestyle for decades now. She literally  lives and inspires millions of people  to live a plastic free and earthly lifestyle. No wonder she has 289000 followers on Instagram.

My visit to her home helped me see practically, how she grows her own food, uses the remains to compost it and has a 100% no trash lifestyle. 

Each time I speak to her, it gives me great hope that this is the route and the best 'Solution to plastic Pollution'. This year's theme for 'World Environment Day'.

Some of my questions were around what she thinks of the current situation with regards to Plastic pollution. Does she really think there is a solution/ replacement for the numerous number of plastic things we use every single day? 

Children see, children do! If parents are using plastic unhindered, is there a chance for children to lead a path to plastic free living?

I loved every perspective she shared. Request you to please listen to the full episode too!

Mother's Day is something I'm very excited about, Every year!
Making card for my mom has been my yearly practice. I know for a fact; this is NOT enough. 

Did you know? The Little-WISE club I've been working on for the past 1 year made an impact by collecting close to 2.5 metric tons of plastic? If not for the encouragement of Mothers, not just mine, I wouldn't have been able to do any of it!

I'm taking this perfect opportunity to introduce to the world, these 3 moms who are the trustees of 'Siyona's Little WISE Trust'. Thy have been working very hard to make a great positive impact on the health of thousands of children. Believe it or not, behind these thousands of children, there are thousands of mothers encouraging our efforts. The true Warriors behind the Little-WISE Eco-warriors.

Happy Mother's Day!
Lots of love to ALL the moms of this world! Thank you.

Deepavali or Diwali is that one day of the year where the entire world celebrates uniquely, with fireworks, lots of lamps, sweets and new clothes too!

This story from our history is a reminder that women in the past were not just beautiful, but filled with the power to be at the forefront of a war too, when needed. Truly inspired by Satyabhama’s valour and Krishna’s nature of accepting the true qualities of Satyabhama.

I would like to dedicate this episode to the glory of this festival, spreading the message that Good always wins over evil.

Happy Deepavali!

Hi Again!

I’ve had the pleasure of picking Dr Guruprasad’s brains again. This time, for my questions on Satellites. He did not disappoint me at all…. This episode is packed with so much to help you understand why we have so many satellites are in space and still don’t really collide… what space debris is and how lots of satellites fall back to earth after their job is done.

Its interesting how India has its own version of GPS called Navik. I was truly fascinated to know how tall the PSLV rocket is! Its truly wonderful how satellites are inseparable from our lives now. It shocked me satellites are even involved in my own podcast while you all are listening from different parts of the world!.

I hope you enjoy listening.

Thanks,

Hi,

I’m excited to some extent to share a few things in this news episode… Mainly because my favourite environmentalist, Sir David Attenborough has not just created an Instagram account but even made a guinnesse world record for being the fastest to reach a million. 

We do discuss few other things before that, like the US president testing positive for corona, Nobel prize for medicine, mars being closes to earth, NASA astronaut voting from space and so much more!

I hope you enjoy viewing this episode as much as I enjoyed making it…

Thanks,

Hi There,

Of course I couldn’t resist the celebration of Bapu’s birthday! Here’s a special episode to remind us how this great man struggled and fought with his simplistic approach to bring the independence back to India.

As we’re kids, I’ve tried my best to discuss more about his own childhood. If some of you have never heard his voice, this might be a good opportunity. Thanks to a couple of Youtube video channels. Indiavideodotorg and British Pathé for these audio clips. What else could be best way to end the episode but to listen to his favourite song? Vaishnav janatho.

 Thanks again for listening.

Here’s another episode with lots of interesting news from across the world. Listen to know more about How the Californian fires have still not died out. I’ve made a collection of environmental news and explained why the fires, declined bio diversity and climate changes are all linked.

Not to forget the news that grabbed attention of the world was fire that shattered the world’s largest migrant camp in Greece

Hello All,

This episode turned out to be so educative about the different kinds of stars we could probably see with our naked eye in the night sky. Dr B S Shylaja explains with such astonishing ease about the constellations, where to look for them.

Just in case you get lost in sea, This episode might save your life if you listen carefully about the North star. It truly helps you decide the direction of your travel! 

How and where do you see Venus? If you thought its at night, you might be wrong! You’d have to wake up early to see it!!
 
 

White dwarfs, Super Nova, Nebula, neutron star… sounds confusing? This episode is sure to clarify all that to you.

Hope you love it as much as I did..

Thanks!

Hi All,

It’s a day to wish our Teachers! Listen to this heart warming episode dedicated to ALL teachers. I’ve been able to share a lot of information about Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, an Inspiring teacher around the independence time, whose Birthday we celebrate as Teachers Day. 

I've taken the liberty to speak of many other inspiring teachers from the past and present. 

Don’t Miss the last few minutes where quiet a few kids came around to express their gratitude towards their own teachers. HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!!

Cheers!
