We’ve all grown up on films. Our first love was usually a hero/heroine on the big screen pulling out grand gestures and breaking into a song and dance. How much of an impact have films made on our love life? Actor and writer Yahya Bootwala ponders on this. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun and Yahya dive deep into what it means to be creators in an environment heavily governed by algorithms and numbers. Further, they discuss how important it is to differentiate the art from the artist. Yahya also talks about how films often fail to show the truth after the ‘happily ever after’, and a shared appreciation for Shah Rukh Khan’s filmography. Yahya Bootwala came into the limelight when one of his poetry videos ‘Shayad Wo Pyar Nahi’ went viral on YouTube.

When we say we are passionate about something, it usually stems from a place of knowledge. We are well-informed about the subject at hand and function from a place of knowledge. Curiosity, on the other hand, is the thirst for knowledge. It denotes a need to learn more about a topic of interest. It fuels our learning and pushes us out of our comfort zone to get the questions in our minds answered. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun talks about what happens when we choose to follow our passion. He also shares how some of the most genius minds in history have had diverse streams of interest.

In the pursuit of perceived uniqueness, we often tend to avoid being repetitive. If you think about the most famous, impactful people in the world, you will notice that they don’t have a new and unique perspective every time they speak. The core message will always remain the same, they just have a unique way of putting it across. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun talks about why it is okay to repeat ourselves. As a creator, he does find himself going back to older pieces of content and finding newer ways to share it. He also shares an insightful quote that beautifully summarises this thought.

In our growing-up years, the chance to make our own decisions seems like the ticket to freedom we all crave. However, as we move ahead in life, we realize that every second we’re forced to make choices. It can be extremely overwhelming to face these decisions without knowing the outcome. Or, without knowing which path will lead us to the right destination. Sometimes, not taking a decision seems like a safe bet but in doing so we are making a choice – a choice to choose inaction and stay in the same place. In this episode of Take APause, Varun talks about how indecision may sometimes not have the desired effect we want it to.

Take a Pause with Varun Duggirala

We often find ourselves weighing our options before every decision. Our hands get clammy, we have sleepless nights, we overthink every aspect, and we wonder if each decision is going to be the one that will have a butterfly effect on our lives. We want it, no, we need each decision to be perfect. In this episode of Take APause, Varun talks about this common dilemma everyone has faced at some point in their life. He suggests an approach where we don’t put the idea of perfection above the goal of what we want to accomplish from the decision.

Our body is an intuitive and efficient machine. Along with performing so many functions, it is also deeply attuned to our true emotions. Have you noticed how your body reacts before you’re going to do something exciting, and how different it feels when you’re doing things you don’t enjoy? In this episode, Varun talks about a concept recently discussed by Marie Forleo on gauging our true emotions about the tasks we’re about to do. She shares an interesting insight into the part our ego and our conscience have to play in this.

When doing something we love and enjoy, the passage of time and the volume of effort we put in seem immaterial. We want to continue with the task until we get the desired result, no matter how difficult it may be. Similarly, when tasked with something we find no joy in, time seems to drag on, making the task extremely difficult to complete. So how do we tackle this? In this episode of Take APause, Varun talks about this unique situation and the thin line that determines whether the project at hand is a passion or a pain.

The very act of our inception was a race! Since then, we have just been running through life, chasing our next destination, the next goal, and the next milestone. We believe that society has set markers for our life, where if you’re 25 and not in a dream job, you are a failure. Is there a need to rush through life to meet the so-called standards the faceless people have set for us? Or can we choose to pick our pace and match our standards and expectations to live a fuller life?

How many times have you seen a success story and thought to yourself, why not me? How many times have you compared yourself to someone else and thought about how easy their journey has been? Your journeys cannot be compared because the obstacles they had to overcome are far different than yours. Everyone has their own demons to fight, their own battles to win just like you. So, comparing your first few drafts to someone’s final masterpiece is a fruitless pursuit. In this episode of Take APause, Varun talks about the folly of making comparisons and the struggles we don’t see.

The true essence of a city is not in the famous monuments it houses, or the delicacies available in the crowded bylanes, nor is it its proximity to the sea, mountains, or beaches. The true essence of a city are the people it houses – their spirit, their often-unheard stories, their unrealised/realised aspirations. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun Duggi talks to Karishma Mehta, the founder of Humans of Bombay. She shares her journey from as a post-grad student in the UK to returning to India to follow her passion for writing, and the need to tell heartfelt stories. Karishma recalls a time when reticent actorAamir Khan was brought to tears during an interview and confesses that she was purely driven by the organic flow of conversation and not the need to probe. Karishma has given a voice to the diverse and often unheard perspectives of Mumbai's residents. Each post on Humans of Bombay provides a window into the lives and experiences of individuals, capturing the emotions, struggles, and triumphs that make up the fabric of the city. Despite its success, Karishma remains dedicated to maintaining the authenticity and intimacy of each story, showcasing the power of storytelling to bring people together, and shining a light on the complexities of the human experience.

As you scroll through your explore page, you are bound to come across a horde of talented content creators. The parameters to go viral have finally distilled down to one thing – creating good content. In an age where fame is accessible through just a click on your hand-held device, how does one stand out among the clutter? According to Agasthya Shah, focusing on the quality of your content instead of the metrics will do the trick. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun talks to Agasthya Shah, a Gen-Z creator who began his content creation journey in July 2019 and found quick fame during the pandemic when his videos started going viral. As content creators, Varun and Agasthya share their thoughts on dealing with fame, and what they consider as their duty to support other good creators who don’t have the following they deserve. Agasthya confesses to finding his newfound fame “surreal”, and agrees with Varun on the importance of staying grounded and authentic. He also opens up on what helped him cope when his belief in manifesting destiny did not seem to be bearing fruit during a difficult period in his creator journey.

There’s never been a time in human history when we as a species have been as “connected” as we are now. Social media pervades almost every aspect of our lives. And yet, writer Dhruv Sehgal confesses that the need to actively engage with the world is something that he feels less and less everyday. Because there is an abundance of mostly irrelevant information being thrown our way every minute, that we have very little desire or energy left to build connections that really matter. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun Duggi sits down for a heartfelt chat with actor and writer Dhruv Sehgal on the rigours of the writing process, developing discipline, harnessing “boredom” to find inspiration, and building real connections in a world saturated with content. Writer, actor, and director Dhruv Sehgal is best known for his work on the mini series Little Things – as actor, creator, and head writer. He also won the Golden Gateway Dimensions Mumbai Award at the Mumbai Film Festival for his short film Kunal in 2016. He has written, acted and directed comedy sketches for Filter Copy.

When you’re a creator, confidence is considered a given. As a creator there is a level of vulnerability that comes into play every time you put a piece of content out into the world. While some creators enjoy the external appreciation and validation, others derive their joy from the content-making process itself. As content creation becomes a steady business of its own, the need to build a culture, understand short-term and long-term goals, and avoid the constant urge to compare numbers become necessities. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun talks to Raj Shamani on his journey of discovering his brand, its culture, and developing it into a successful business. He shares his take on building confidence, discovering one’s passion, and decision making. Raj Shamani is a businessman, social media influencer, entrepreneur, and an audience favourite on Instagram. Raj has delivered around 200+ speeches across 26 countries and is one of India’s most influential motivational speakers.

Once you reach a certain point in adulthood, work starts taking up the number one spot in your list of priorities. We believe that to do well in your career, one needs to spend every waking moment working and working hard. While it may be a sure fast way to ensure success, it may not always be the most sustainable. Our mind is like any other machine – it requires downtime. It is constantly working round the clock to ensure our body's smooth functioning, along with carrying out the different tasks we assign it. Add a whole bowl of stress and no rest to the mix and that makes its work even harder. In this episode of Take aPause, Varun discusses the need to strike a balance in your life. Not only do we need to rest to lead a happy personal life, but good rest ensures we are even more productive in our professional life. He also shares a simple method that can help you prioritise the things in your life that are important.

Trigger Warning: The following content may contain sensitive themes that is not suitable for all audiences. Listener Discretion is Advised. Relationships in the digital age are in a league of their own. New terms to describe relationships circulate every few months like the latest fashion trend. Situationship, ghosting, zombie-ing (yes, it’s an actual term), and soft launching are some of the types of relationships the youth find themselves in. Is there a deeper reason for the proliferation of so many non-committal types of relationships, or do they help define the complex tangles of relationships better? In this episode of Take aPause, Varun and Smiti Srivastava discuss the complicated relationships of the digital age. They discuss everything from cheating, abusive relationships, and how past trauma can form patterns for the kind of relationships we seek. Smiti Srivastava (@innerconnectionswithsmriti) is a psychotherapist who focusses on relationships as a core area of focus. She has worked extensively with individuals over the age of 16 on various psychological difficulties affecting them.

If happiness is an emotion, and emotions, by definition, a part of our consciousness, then why do we go out of our way to search for it? Why is most of our life spent looking for happiness externally when it is available on the inside? In this episode of Take APause, Varun talks about happiness and what it means for everyone. The definition of happiness may remain the same but the way it manifests itself in each of our lives is unique to each individual and their journey thus far.

None of us are born fearful. But we all develop different fears over time. Our fears usually stem from one bad experience that we either overlooked or swept under the rug in that moment.
