    I was privileged to have been invited by UNICEF India , as the only podcaster to collaborate on their 'One Day 4 Children' initiative. To celebrate this initiative, Wankhede Stadium (Mumbai) turned blue on Nov 2nd. UNICEF India in collaboration with the International Cricket Council , Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and Indian Ministry of Education has launched the 'Criio for Good' online skills program in the wake of the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023. It is aimed at promoting gender equality among girls and boys, using Cricket as a metaphor for learning important life lessons. Criiio is a celebration of all of the different ways cricket is played around the world.I spoke with Cynthia McCaffrey, Chief Representative of UNICEF to India, on the thought process behind the selection of the theme of gender equality, the impact of the 8 online animated modules created under Criio for Good, and future plans for UNICEF to leverage the reach of sports to create a positive impact in society.

    Bonus: Devendra Fadnavis ki kahaani, unki behen ki zubaani

    Join me for a non-political, Raakhi special storytelling + interview style bonus episode , a tribute to the sacred occasion of Rakshabandhan – a revered Indian festival that illuminates the profound bond between brothers and sisters. In a stroke of serendipity, I had the privilege of conversing with Shrimati Bhavna Khare, the cousin sister of a distinguished Indian statesman, the Honourable Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis-ji.

    This episode cradles cherished memories like precious gems, unveiling a
    heartfelt narrative that dances through pivotal moments in his life.
    Unconstrained by the shackles of time, we journey through the tapestry of his formative years. Yet, amidst this captivating journey, it's the brother-sister bond that takes center stage – a bond infused with the tenderness of an unassuming connection.

    Allow the narrative to envelop you, as we delve into the Deputy CM’s
    life beyond the realm of power and politics. Discover the man behind the title– a devoted brother and a family man, his life woven with threads of love and laughter. This tale is a snug embrace for your heart, resonating with the mellifluous tunes of nostalgia, shared laughter, and cherished memories that paint a vivid portrait of the Deputy CM's life.
