I stumbled upon his music a few years ago, but only recently took the time to learn more about him. Turns out, he&#8217;s just a young guy in his 20s\u2014such incredible talent! When it comes to music, it&#8217;s usually the sound that grabs me, and Ritviz&#8217;s sound is something I can enjoy anytime, anywhere. Not just a few singles, but entire albums! What a genius!<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@sajjanrajvaidya\">Sajjan Raj Vaidya<\/a><\/strong>: As a Nepali, it&#8217;s impossible not to listen to Nepali artists. Sajjan Raj Vaidya&#8217;s music had been reverberating through my household long before I started listening to him. I&#8217;ve heard hit songs are often created by repeating the same track over and over again and that&#8217;s exactly what happened in this case. With the same song on repeat around the house, I eventually I started enjoying his songs. Some of my favorites from Vaidya include; Suna Kaanchi, Phutki Jaaney Jovan<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@rajshamani\">Raj Shamani<\/a><\/strong>: I&#8217;m so happy that in the age of short tik tok videos, the long-form content like podcasts is making a strong comeback. Podcasts are, without a doubt, my favorite medium. The depth and intimacy of the conversations reveal so much about the topics and guests\u2014it\u2019s truly impressive. Among the many podcasters from India, Raj Shamani stands out. His authenticity and thoughtful choice of topics resonate with me the most.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@melrobbins\/videos\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@melrobbins\/videos\"><strong>Mel Robbins<\/strong><\/a>: Mel Robbins is another inspiring figure I&#8217;ve been following for a while. As I actively search for quality content online, hers is something I can&#8217;t recommend enough. These days, many podcasts tend to feature the same rotating list of guests, but Mel&#8217;s episodes stand out. Give her podcast a listen\u2014you\u2019re bound to hear something fresh and thought-provoking that you won\u2019t find elsewhere.<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/adamgrant.net\/\">Adam Grant<\/a><\/strong>: <em>Think again: the power of knowing what you don&#8217;t know<\/em><br>Adam Grant is one of my favorite Americans. I admire the way he thinks\u2014it\u2019s evident that his perspective stems from deliberate learning and growth, as he highlights in one of his books I\u2019m currently reading. I\u2019ve been following his work for quite some time, and it\u2019s his deep expertise in leadership and management that keeps me coming back for more. After finishing <em>Think again<\/em>, I plan to share a summary of each chapter here on the blog. Stay tuned!<br><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt5606664\/\">Doctor Sleep<\/a><\/strong>: Every Halloween, I get excited about horror movies\u2014[wow, forget Halloween; we\u2019ve already passed Christmas, and now it\u2019s 2025!] Usually, I stick to PG or PG-13 films [I have young kids], but after a while, I crave something that really gives me a jolt\u2014and horror always does the trick. Hollywood horrors can sometimes fall short on the scare factor, but Stephen King&#8217;s <em>Doctor Sleep<\/em> was an absolute standout \u2014A+. I didn\u2019t realize at the time that it\u2019s actually a sequel to <em>The Shining<\/em>. If you haven\u2019t seen either, here\u2019s my advice: start with <em>The Shining<\/em> and then dive into <em>Doctor Sleep<\/em>. You won\u2019t be disappointed!<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, these individuals are just a handful among the many I\u2019ve been following.
