The Analogue Dialogues

My friend Pavan Muthanna and I launched a podcast called The Analogue Dialogues in April 2026. We thought long and hard about what the world really needed right now, and the answer came in a flash: A podcast!

No, seriously, recognising that this is a crowded space, we still wanted to throw our hats into the ring. The objective was to assimilate lessons from a few decades of living and working in urban India and share glimpses into examined lives. “We meet others only as well as we have met ourselves”, and so, this is an invitation to soak in anything that speaks to you.

Episode 7: Bothered and Bewildered

City living isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. We look at some uncomfortable questions: Who pays for our conveniences and with what? What are we signing away in the expectation for being always on? How does the combination of loss of meaningful connection, loss of green spaces, burgeoning traffic etc. show up in our bodies and our spirits? And per usual, what’s in our control to rethink all this.

Episode 6: Running on Fumes

The world of work seems on fire. Work feels unwieldy and unsafe. We explore this confusion, pervasive fear of stability at work in detail, because, despite our heads telling us otherwise, we all feel alone in this vastly troubled world. We explore how to start unpacking this particularly twisted problem.

Episode 5: Conflicted About Conflicts?

Why are we so underprepared for conflicts, what socio-cultural reasons could stop us from standing up for ourselves? We explore both, the evolutionary reactions to conflicts and the responses we default to. What would building range look like? And what would repair look like?

Episode 4: Compounding Interests

How interests add to the quality of our lives. In a first for this podcast, we had short interviews with three guests with varied interests and a degree of evident gravitas that speaks for itself
