A mega recommendations pack | #20
The new format of Recommendations
Hi 👋Pranav here
Currently, we are 45 curious people reading these newsletters every week.
I am on a mission to make a dent in the Indian education system and impact India. Subscribe if you want to impact India.
Every Friday, I share my process, my thoughts and some recommendations for good videos, podcasts, songs or anything interesting things I have consumed over the week.
There were mainly two people who write newsletters that inspires me to write my newsletter. Those were Ankur Warikoo and Varun Duggirala. Varun in his newsletter ‘Unschooled with Varun Duggirala’ recommends other good podcasts, YT videos and at the end of the month, he recommends the content he consumed in the whole month.
So, once a month, maybe at the end of the month, I’ll share my recommendations. It may not be always, but apart from this, the other newsletters will be the same.
Here’s something interesting. I have created a Notion page- (https://bit.ly/3IZ4QqL), and I have linked all my weekly recommendations since the start. So if you don’t have time to see all my weekly recommendations when you are reading my newsletter, you can save that link and later visit it whenever you have free time. It’s free for everyone. Just save the link.
Manish Pandey is the OG of content creation. He mentors creators like Ranveer Alliahbadia, Prajakta Koli, Bhuvan Bam and many more. In this video, he shares the future of content creation in India, how to bring a change in society, etc.
Here’s another story of Manish Pandey on Josh talks where he tells his start, journey and struggles.
In this internet age, being a creator can be the best desitions for us. Ayush Jaiswal, the founder of Pesto Tech, talks about how to follow our passion, how to acquire the right skills and how hard work and not giving up a compound into greatness
Chalchitra Talks is one of the best recommendations YouTube channels I have ever come across. They bring guests from across industries. People like Naseeruddin Shah, Yashraj Mukhate, Manish Pandey (yeah I understand, now not more about him 😅), Rohan Joshi, etc.
The Indian Women’s Cricket team is growing. We have seen cricketers like Smriti Mandana, Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur, Jhulan Goswami. In this podcast, Jemimah Rodrigues on The Ranveer Show talks about her journey from playing Hockey to Cricket, her meeting with Virat Kolhi and Sachin Tendulkar. She also talks about the challenges women's cricket team has to face, mental challenges, etc
Book I am reading-
I started reading ‘Everything Is Out of Syllabus: An Instruction Manual for Life’ by Varun Duggirala.
Picture of the week
Varun came to Delhi this week to talk about his book. I was extremely happy to meet him for the first time in person.
