In today's episode, I will take on the negative reviews given to Season 3 of the Netfix show, Bridgerton, those reviews that found Penelope undeserving of a whirlwind romance with Colin just because she is short and voluptuous and does "not look the part" of a typical heroine.

Of course, it won't be a podcast episode of mine if I did not infuse it with my personal experiences and obervations... so brace yourselves for a brutally hon...

Many of us confuse sexiness with physical beauty and sexuality, when in fact it is all about confidence and sensuality. In this episode, I expressly talk about the sexy man, as opposed to the sexy woman, to make that delineation clear. Listen up and enjoy your time!

Adoption is a topic I care about profusely, so it was a joy preparing this episode for you. I discuss adoption in the Arab world as well as in the Western world; I also discuss international adoption and pitfall of child trafficing; and I do all that through a personal narration of my experience with adoption (or non-adoption as it turns out).

We generally feel that unconditional love is reserved for animals and divinity. How do we, as humans, experience unconditional love? How can we, humans, get out of the loop of conditional love? Listen on to fine out my take on the matter...

On another note, I would like to apologize to my listeners for the almost one month absence from this podcast. Believe me, it was not at all intentional, but sometimes glitches occur that derail ...

I noticed that we tend to use the term 'Karma' rather loosely these days, and decided to create this episode where I trace back the word 'Karma' to its origins in India and Asia and compare it to the modern westernised concept of the word.

This week's episode was definitely triggered by the war in Gaza. However, since this is not a political channel, the episode partly discusses humanity's response to the war through social media and protests. Of course, I am pro-peace and advocate only that for humanity.

If you've read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, or watched the movie, then you are familiar with the Italian saying: Il Dolce Far Niente (the sweetness of doing nothing). This episode touches on the issue of getting out of the everyday rat race hustle we are so used to, along with a how to section: how to slow down at work, and how to slow down at home.
