The Decode Diary

The Decode Diary isn"t just a podcast; it"s your passport to the untold stories of the average-looking but extraordinary Joes who try their best to make it in life. I first stumbled upon the idea of providing insights and perception of the general public when I had so much to talk about but also had so much to learn from those around me. The Decode Diary is a journey and process to decode and decrypt the everyday actions of these people with whom we can relate so much. If you are interested in

In this snippet, Dilip recalls what his parents wanted him to do as a profession. Little did they know Dilip was set to take on a totally different path and he loves what he is doing now. In many parts of Asia, the advice coming from parents has a huge relevance in kids growing up. While some may have changed the course of a kid's life, turning them into multi-billionaires, others may have unpredictable outcomes on their kids, just like Dilip. I can relate so much to his story because my parents

2024/01/23

In this snippet, we talked about the growing/shrinking gap between the rich and the poor. During my high school time, we learnt about life in India and the life of a rickshaw-wallah was what you would imagine if you were at the lowest of the caste system. Dilip who happens to have taken a ride from a rickshaw-wallah when he was younger recounts what it was like seeing the huge gap between the rich and the poor. Maybe this does not intrigue you, but we cannot ignore the gap as it is the same

We’ve all been there. In many parts of Asia, our parents dictate our path in life. When Dilip did not know what he liked, he figured he would do one thing: To find out what he didn’t like. In this episode, I sat down with Dilip, who had previously worked with me on a corporate video shoot, together with many other talented coworkers, and we talked about his journey into journalism. Now, journalism is not a subject or course an Indian kid would typically pick for college, and if you ask me, he is

However, the performance or quality of the graduates are questionable. Here, Dr Sarah shares how the university and private sectors out there should come hand in hand to produce the next generation of workforce who are able to come up with groundbreaking ideas, capable of persisting

In this snippet, Dr Sarah shares with me how young adults these days are less capable of coping with failures. She interacts with enough students to be able to say this, and this is worrying. However, she also willingly shared the ways we can better cope with failures should they come. As a starter, a lower expectation can help a long way. If you have encountered yourself even an occurrence of failure, share with me how you overcame it. Listen to the full episode here:

I’ve always thought being a lecturer is an easy task because all you ever need to do is to prepare the teaching materials and deliver your knowledge with passion and enthusiasm to the students. Little did I know there is so much more to just being a lecturer. In this episode, I sat down with Dr Sarah to talk about the challenges of being a lecturer, including the rise of AI technology like ChatGPT. We also went into discussing the root causes of why the graduates of today are not keeping up with

In this snippet, Faye tells me how some women do not dare to stand up for themselves. They simply adhere to the hidden rules and utilize them for themselves, and sometimes against other women. And when other younger women fall victim to cases of discrimination, they shy away from providing the needful help. Faye doesn't think that way. She wants to live her life as clear, direct and bold as possible. She knows "it doesn't have to be this way”. Listen to the full episode here:

In this snippet, Faye tells me how she got interested in political science ever since she was young. Inquisitive, always trying to understand how things work behind the curtains and generally knowing what she wants ultimately placed her in the most expected course one would know, except in the Asian market. Except she did her course in the U.S.. Political science and government. She talks to us about prison labor from big corporations like Victoria Secret and Microsoft, how the water in your

Have you been in a place where you're not welcome? I think people of any background should be given enough support to allow them to express themselves freely under the notion of not harming anyone. Just picture yourself as a fresh graduate in a big corporate and everyone on your first day is just as busy as they have been, a mentor comes by and starts showing you around. He then lets you ask any questions regarding the company, the project and the culture. You feel welcomed. We should do that more

2024/01/10

When women rise in power and position, they often are faced with oppression and resistance. At least from what I have seen. In this snippet, Faye shares with me how she has never been met with resistance because of the friend circle she is in. Young people in this day and age are probably doing their very best to support women. And I applaud that. We should do more of this. How would you be a part of the supportive group?

This statement is true to a certain extent. In fact, in the Asian culture, many couldn't agree more. But I think this shouldn't be seen like that, maybe something should change. Faye thinks so too. In this snippet, Faye shares with me how there are people who want to come out but are trapped by the bounds of their religion. What's worse is the side-eyes that people give after they do come out. What do you think of this statement? There is a lot to reflect on. Listen to the full episode before

I have never given enough thought about women’s rights and their overall development in the workforce until this episode and of course my personal encounter with discrimination against women at work. Faye has taught me more than I had expected to learn in this conversation. I've always thought it is a survival instinct that women at work do not come together and stand up for themselves, but there is actually more to that. In this episode, I sat down with Faye and talked about women’s rights in the

On most days in a week, Shyam stays back in the office to work overtime. As a fresher, I didn't understand. A friend of mine enlightened me when he said one is inefficient when he needs to work overtime every day. I took it to Shyam to understand his thought process behind this action. The assumptions that we make about people every day may well amount to hundreds, or even thousands of unjustified misunderstandings. But we only get the answer if we seek to understand the reasons behind. In this

Much more was at stake when his girlfriend could not make the same move. It is not everyday we could see ourselves persevering through the hardships life throws at us, but Shyam embodied the values required to be patient with challenges. The dilemmas he had had to deal with show how much he had to put
