Curiousect

Nirmal Bhansali

The fundamental idea behind Curiousect is to explore a range of questions. Through the podcast I'm experimenting with different mini-series. Time Capsule is about the ideas, things and conversations that are worth revisiting in the future. Timesheets is a series where I document my journey through adulthood and share stories about struggles, chaos and conversations about adulting.

    Timesheets | Episode 1: Will The Dots Connect?

    Hi ! This is the 1st episode of Timesheets, the series where I document journeys into adulthood and make entries about navigating through this odd experience.  I thought of launching the series with an episode dedicated to commencements and new beginnings. I'm on a different path in my life and I thought it would be helpful to revisit some of these speeches. This episode consists of my favourite speeches, some thoughts and advice which I'll probably keep forgetting but I must keep in mind.  Do give it a listen !

    Time Capsule | Ft. An Ache for My Room (MCS 416)

    One of the most important experiences in college was living in my hostel room - MCS 416. It was enchanting and magical in many ways. I learnt so much about myself over the years and as I start a new chapter in my life, I find myself noticing the absence of those moments. I'm yearning for the room again and everything that it gave me.  This episode is special. It is personal and about the courage, strength and the hope my room continues to give me even though I don't live there any more.  Give it a listen ! You can read the essay as well.  Let me know what you thought and do share your own stories of living in a hostel. I would love to hear them.  Follow Curiousect: Twitter Instagram Facebook Substack Music Credits  1) Farewell Summer by Abby Gundersen  2) November Mist by Bluedot Sessions  3) Pathways by Prof. Lacasse 4) Demure by Ever So Blue  5) White Limit by Bluedot Sessions  6) Patchwork by Ever So Blue 7) Brooks Was Here (Shawshank Redemption) by Thomas Newman  8) Re by Nils Frahm  9) On The Nature of Daylight (Cover) by Ibi

    Time Capsule | Ft. The Warped Expectations of Moments

    Hi,  There's been a common theme around some of my episodes from the past - they normally involve an observation about my memories. Lately, I've noticed that my expectations around memories have become twisted. This episode is an exploration about what it means to become a chronicler inside your own memories.  I hope you give it a listen.  Let me know what you think, if you have been having similar thoughts or have had some other weird experience in the past year.  Don't forget to share this episode !
