Take a pause with Varun Duggirala

Have you ever thought about how we all learnt stuff in school & college and wondered “is this the only way I could have learnt this?” . The answer could lie in VARK, which defines in a very interesting way the ways in which we can all learn depending on what works for us individually. It could totally change your pov on how u can learn!There’s a lot more info on this in a recent podcast episode of @JayShetty podcast.. ( https://open.spotify.com/episode/5x3j2PoHkqbTMT71SnaLP2?si=b_HF8UDJSzSTh5OJWyUxXg) You should check it out if this interests you.. if you want to test yourself check this link out https://vark-learn.com/the-vark-questionnaire/ .. #uselessinformation is available on Spotify, JioSaavn and most podcasting platforms.

Viraj Ghelani is the one person who’s made me want to watch Welcome more times than I actually thought I would and also one of the best examples of a younger breed of creators who are having so much fun being their authentic selves and all the random stuff around it... I’ve had him on my other podcast “advertising is dead” and you should listen to that to get a deeper understanding of how he’s grown as a meme culture creator but this time we decided to keep the chat totally useless and random... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message

Danish Sait is someone who’s humour I’ve loved for ages mainly because it reminded me of my years in Bangalore and so many of his references made me laugh coz I got exactly where those were coming from. And his recent streak of awesomeness made me want to dig into understanding what useless information he feeds on a whole lot more. #Uselessinformation is available on Spotify, Jiosaavn, Apple podcasts, google podcasts and most places u get your podcasts from. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message

Gaurav Kapur is one of those people who I can always count on to make any conversation interesting because he never likes to have the same conversation twice!! Coz there is always something new to talk about and that’s what makes him a great conversationalist..the fact that he knows in his own words “a little about a lot of things” and have fun while talking about anything. So why wouldn’t I invite him to be on an episode of useless information, coz while u might know him for the things he talks about like sport, etc this episode is going to take u in a whole new direction. #Uselessinformation is available on Spotify, Jiosaavn, Apple podcasts, google podcasts and most places u get your podcasts from --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message

José covaco is someone who I have long considered the original grandmaster of creating content from randomness. So I thought it would be a lot of fun to get him and his constant collaborator and master of content around randomness in his own right Cyril D’abreo on an episode of Useless information... and honestly not cut anything out coz why edit true randomness.. that’s what’s on this weeks Useless information.. you can follow Cyril on @cyrildabs , José on @hoezaay & I’m on @varunduggi --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message

Sorabh Pant, the multitalented comedian & author and the person who once had the unique privilege of sharing a desk with me 😜 is one of the most interesting people I’ve met also coz he has such varied interests and some great insights from all of them... his love for cricket and sport in general has a unique spin to it as is his process to write the books he’s written... so he had to be someone to chat with on Useless information... he’s @sorabhpant on Instagram & @hankypanty on twitter and make sure you watch his specials on Amazon prime video and all the stuff he puts out on social. If you wanna find me I’m @varunduggi on Instagram and Twitter--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message

Nikhil Chinapa is someone who doesn’t really need any form of introduction... so I’ll skip the standard stuff like MTV icon, the man who helped make electronic music mainstream in India, etc etc.. but what I’ve always known him as is someone who has a deep sense of curiosity for the little things that add depth to any conversation, the stuff that adds a layer to any music track and someone who’s love for music is only paralleled by his love to dive deep underwater.. so how could i not prod him to be on an episode of useless information.. he kinda defines the whole concept.. #Uselessinformation is available on Spotify, Apple podcasts, google podcasts and most places u get your podcasts from. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message

There are things we always wanna do, try or learn about or just spend time consuming which we always put off saying... I’ll do it soon. But there are some who actually have a method to actually build a structure to actually doing the things they wanna do beyond their work-life and regular life...And maybe that’s something to learn from. One such person is Pooja Dhingra the founder and CEO of Le15 patisserie and the singular reasons why so many of us have a macaroon consumption problem. And this week host Varun duggirala talks to her to ask her about how she does it and maybe unravel the method to drive all of us to do stuff beyond what we normally do. You can follow pooja on Instagram on @poojadhingra & u can touch base with Varun on @varunduggi .. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/take-a-pause-varun-duggi/message
