To close this for good, we have Sagun Bhatjiwale, a practicing veterinarian who has more heart than me atleast. A man who cares so much about animals, that his passion seeds the love in me as well. It grows more and more each day passing. He is the Founder of Natures Ally Foundation and does work that is remarkable in every way possible. Episode 9 is about More Than Us. It&#39;s a reminder for you all, that life, the universe, the world is more than you. Quit thinking that you&#39;re the center of it all. Of course, put yourself first but consider the circumstances, the depth and the needs of others around you. Sagun is a kind man, who works for these mute lives everyday, follow me this week on a journey to see and experience Sagun&#39;s life.  I don&#39;t know what to feel at the end of this, except a huge gulp of sorrow. This is the last Episode of Alive &amp; Kicking, an independent podcast I started with three amazing human beings.  My Strategist, Rohan Karnik, my Editor, Mayank Ferreira, and my graphic designer, Vivian Castelino. I wouldn&#39;t be where I am if it wasn&#39;t for them.

As we move on to Episode 05, I cannot wait to dig deep into issues that have always dwelled in my mind, over the years, and who better than Nikitha to discuss all of this with. Nikitha has seen me grow over the last five years, she was an integral part of the formative years of my life in college, constant support, a lifeline of sorts, and always up for a good laugh. She got a major in psychology and taught me how to become better as a human over the last 4 years. Self-correction only sounds good and helpful because of Nikitha. I am so glad she gets to be on this panel and makes us all youthful in every sense possible. She really is, the Youth among the Young. Presenting to you all, EP 05: Youth among the Young Ft. Nikitha Nair  A &amp; K Team

I was looking forward to this one so much. Probably the first ever proper conversation I had with Sufiyan and the insights are mind-boggling. I follow his work and the banter he has with the screen, it&#39;s highly engaging and most of times has a satirical message. Sufiyan&#39;s an aspiring actor who you must have seen in ads like Cadbury Silk, MI and Mochi. He is currently working at Fever 104 and Hashtag Connect.  We share few similarities and one of them happens to be our love for theatre, irrespective of the linguistic difference. We are lost, restless, always amidst planning something and extremely living in the dilemma of putting something out there for this country. I could go on and on, but I think I should let the podcast do its job.
