What if the will to live remains strong, even when the body begins to let go?
Through the deeply moving story of Kaiser, an ageing Rottweiler who keeps finding his way back to the people he loves, this episode explores the fragile boundaries between life, resilience, and letting go. It asks a question many of us may one day face: when does caring for someone mean fighting for more time, and when does love mean finding the courage to let them go?
A profound reflection on belonging, dignity, and the hardest part of love — learning when to hold on, and when to release.
When we think of Parkinson’s, we picture shaking hands and slow movements. But tremor is only part of the story.
In this episode of The Buddhi Insight, we look beyond the classic motor symptoms to explore Parkinson’s disease in its entirety. From the historic breakthrough of levodopa and Awakenings to hidden non-motor symptoms like sleep disorders, mood changes, and abulia (the loss of drive to initiate action), we examine how Parkinson’s sits at the intersection of movement, motivation, and mind.
Tune in as we uncover why understanding Parkinson’s requires looking past the physical signs and caring for the whole person.
In Episode 2 of The Hero and the Other, The Neurokrish Immersion explores the transformative decade leading to 1962 a pivotal era as newly independent India forged its national identity. Rising from poverty and partition, the young republic aimed high: from Homi Bhabha’s atomic vision and Vikram Sarabhai’s space program to Raj Kapoor’s cultural swagger in Shree 420. Yet as India championed Panchsheel and Asian unity, unresolved borders challenged its ideals.
Discover how history, idealism, and the tragedy of Dr. Dwarkanath Kotnis reshaped India’s view of its neighbors, setting the stage for 1962.
In the first episode of The Hero & The Other, we explore the psychological imagination of India through the lens of 1947 independence, partition, colonial memory, and the people who shaped how India came to see itself. From Veera Pandya Kattabomman and the image of resistance to the psychological archetype of the “Brown Sahib,” the episode examines how different Indians could perceive different heroes and others within the same historical moment. We revisit the contrasting visions of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, B. R. Ambedkar, and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, while also looking at how Indian cinema became a powerful archive of collective imagination, shaping ideas of courage, authority, rebellion, belonging, and threat.

This episode of Neurokrish Immersion, titled “The Episodic Brain How Some Minds Let Go of Yesterday,” explores how different human minds experience time, memory, and identity. It contrasts continuous narrative cognition—where life is a seamless story—with episodic cognition, where life is lived as isolated, present-focused moments. Drawing on psychological concepts like Dan McAdams’s “narrative identity,” pop culture archetypes like Tigger and Dennis the Menace, and neurodivergent experiences like ADHD and Autism, the episode details how these architectural brain differences influence time perception and leadership. Ultimately, it highlights how episodic thinking drives visionaries like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk to easily abandon past positions in pursuit of future innovation.
