About This Podcast

I am a software engineer with a creative spree and the heart to make a difference. I live in Melbourne with my family and enjoy photography and creative writing.

Inspired by the quote from Rainer Maria Rilke, \"If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it — blame yourself for not being poet enough to call forth its riches.\" I created this podcast to bring out the real stories that make life as beautiful as poetry. I'll take you on a journey through the human experience, sharing stories and conversations to uplift your spirit. Here are the key 3 areas on this podcast.:

\n
In Author's chair: where I talk to writers about their journey. or upcoming publication
\n
\n
Fail With Me: Where I explore what failure truly is and link it with emotional intelligence.
\n
\n
Oh! Past, speak out: Where I talk about forgotten chapters of history.
\n

If you are interested in my poetry, this is my Amazon author page. Follow my newsletter here.

What is your favourite time of the day? For some of us creatives, being nocturnal is part of our existence. Here is an episode with some stories of the night, along with two short poems I have written this week from a poetry prompt. Hope you will like it - let me know if you have any thoughts. See you in the next one.
