This episode gave me a chance to interact with the first genZ guest on my podcast, Manish. We have a long talk about his experiences with gaming where he reflects on the thousands of hours that he spent on DoTA so far. There's some life lessons to learn from gaming as well, which Manish explains with his takes on how his gaming habits have helped shape him into the person that he is today.
In this episode, I have another amazing guest, who used to be a game journalist, and is also a published author of 2 fiction books. Nikhil Pradhan talks about his love for narrative based games, and his experiences with them. We talk about how the story line and narration can be a great engaging hook for games. Also about dffferent playstyles when it comes to playing games across mediums, and ofcourse the likes, and dislikes about the various games that we've played.
This is the second episode and I have another cool guest, who's also a dear friend since childhood. Mohsin joins me in talking about his experiences with playing the different, especially sports, games. A fan who also follows the sports, but also adds to his experience it by engaging in various sports titles on his console. We talk about his gaming habits with some casual banter on the side.
Because I get asked at least once every week what someone should podcast about, here is some basic gyan from me on the matter
In this first episode of Playstyle, I have a fun guest who doesn't make games, but plays a lot of them for sure. He took the playing so seriously that he now teaches math concepts to young kids using games. Divesh Bathija joins me in talking about his experience with gaming, and what he likes and dislikes about it.

Hi 👋, welcome to the latest edition of the recommendation newsletter.
We are human beings. We take a lot of things from the world around us, just like any other living creature. But when we speak about this taking, we say things like "the world gave us" the thing we took. No other species of animal has this need to look good and claim that they are so amazing that nature gives them things. I made an audio essay on this phenomenon for an old podcast and am reproducing it here.
Germany was seduced by stories into starting not one but two World Wars. Because of this, in the aftermath of their "20th century double blunder", the Germans had to rely on a kind of anti-hero approach to stories. This audio essay is about Herophobia - the fear of heroes. And it is about how best to avoid it.

Alongside the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 this past year, we’ve seen the proliferation of disinformation on social media. This parallel epidemic, what the WHO calls an infodemic, has thwarted efforts to control the pandemic around the world. Some of the most vulnerable people and countries have been the targets of these campaigns.
I am what a lot of people have termed a 'pandemic graduate' having completed my studies in the year 2020 and started my journey as a professional. Well... to be honest, my journey has mostly consisted of a lot of online courses, internships and failed exercise routines. "Professional journey": Coming soon (hopefully)
By now most people know that SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that emerged from an animal host. Zoonotic transmission is when pathogens spillover from animals into humans.
I am largely not too optimistic about what is being called social audio - Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, and the upcoming Facebook Audio Rooms.
The arrival of vaccines has put the end of the pandemic in sight. But the end of the pandemic might not mean the end of SARS-CoV-2.
