Popkast with Garima

I want you to act like the house is on fire, ‘cuz it is! As we proudly celebrate the World Environment Day, I’d request you to introspect for a moment and listen to this episode where I’m joined with a 13 Year old climate activist and BBC’s Top 100 influential women, 2020 - Ridhima Pandey. We discuss how she filled a petition at the age of 9, her activism journey, trolls, climate change as a mandatory subject, her open letter to the PM, simple sustainable changes to adopt and how can you contribute in saving this planet! The climate is changing - why aren’t we?Audio Credits:Sindhu and Rishab VasudevanTaba Chake*no copyright infringement intended *

Meet Ridhima Pandey, a 13 YO climate activist who wrote an open letter to the Prime Minister of our country demanding cleaner air and fearing the day when children will carry oxygen cylinders to school rather than school bags. Tune in to know what was exactly written in the open letter, Ridhima’s message to the government officials and how she thinks the greed in name of development will benefit no one. To say the least, happy world environment day! Please adopt even the smallest sustainable change that you can in your lifestyle. Start small.Audio credits:Mentos, November Rose

We are all looking for hope in these bleak times. As we struggle to get up from our bed, keep ourselves motivated, and find positivity - Meet Anju Sen, who lost her legs to Polio and is now restarting her education at the age of 28 through the Second Chance Education Program by UN Women India.Anju’s perseverance and strong willpower to be a financially independent woman precede her physical inabilities. Anju’s brother and father would take her in their arms and walk for 8kms to get her to school! She says and I quote - ‘main nahi samajhti mujhme koi kami hain. Mujhe sarkari naukri karni hain or kabhi bhi exam me fail nahi hona hain’. I vividly remember her beaming face as she spoke to me for half an hour! She rubbed off her energy on me. I hope when you tune in to this episode, you manifest the same hope and positivity. Hope for a better future, hope to dream, hope to believe in yourself, and hope to be an agent of change. Popkast with Garima EmpowHER edition Season 3 is in support of UN Women Second Chance Education Program and Community Partner- SheThePeopleTV

Hello woke people on the internet, let's cancel the cancel culture? Cancel culture is ont only plaguing individuals or celebrities but is crippling our democracy and freedom of speech. From Tandav to Munawar to Instagram influencers, the cancel culture does no good for redemption. Listen to an excerpt of my conversation with Aranya Johar, activist and poet where she beautifully and in the most simple way explains the right approach towards cancel culture, probably, holding accountability culture. Perhaps, it is time for us to realize that the only thing we should cancel is ‘cancel culture’ itself. Please tune in for a better progressive tomorrow? Music Credits:RD Burman, November Rose, Mentos Ad
