We all love Pixar movies, there is a genuine feeling we all get inside us when we watch them.. i cant describe it but it’s a mixture of so many great emotions rolled up into one and it always makes me happy & warm inside. One of my favourite Pixar movies is “the incredibles”,.. and i recently came across a story that Joy Bhattacharjya tweeted about which spoke of how it came to be made. And this particular story showed me a very deep insight into a principle we must all follow.. no matter what we do and who we are (as companies or as people). It’s also detailed out in a great book on Pixar called “creativity inc” which you should definitely check out. #uselessinformation is available on Spotify, JioSaavn and most podcasting platforms.

A week ago I watched a video of Michael holding the legendary West Indies cricketer speak at length on racism,.. its one of those pieces that makes u really think about so things around us both past and present and important that all of us watch it. There was also the mention of a person called Lewis H Latimer and i had to know more. And when I did look it up it made me realise that so many things we learn in school requires revisiting to understand so many aspects which have been hidden in history., and which truly deserve to be learnt and spoken about. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message

I’ve always found that when we dream we sometimes come up with ideas or solutions that grow to define our lives... and when I was listening to the 2nd episode of the 2nd season of the podcast “Blockbuster” ( it’s a phenomenal show, https://open.spotify.com/show/6nhQUF8rDmBaRjbZp9zgzv?si=kBWwGTRuTpKHaIY3NRLL4w , while this happens in S02E02 , don’t miss a single episode of both seasons) There is a scene in that episode which solidified it in my mind.. so much so that I might just start documenting my dreams going ahead. #uselessinformation is available on Spotify, JioSaavn and most podcasting platforms.
