Hello ladies and gentlemen, I hope this episode is finding you in the best of spirits, best of health and best of moods. It's been a really long time since there was an episode of A Talks and I definitely explain why it took me this long in the episode as well. But today, I talk about a phenomenon that took the world by storm and has grown into a really essential part of our day to day lives, Today we talk about social media. It's interesting how we use something so much in our day to day lives that it almost takes over a major chunk of our lives without even realizing how it has started to impact us in a negative way, how it has started to affect our mental and physical health, today's episode also features one of my dear friends, Mr Xhades Stamps with his views on social media as well, so without any further ado, let's talk about social media and how it has changed us, whether it's any good or if it's just an emerging threat.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen

And welcome to another episode of A Talks where I take you along with me into some scary zone, I know it's the very first episode of the year and yet here I am with something scary and not very pleasant, but hear me out, I recorded this in December last year but just couldn't find the time to edit it and upload it, so now I thought why not start this year with something chilly bcz it also goes very well with the current vibe of chilly winters we are facing currently here in North India.

As some or most of you know Stephen King is one of my most favourite authors (barring some of his current work, which is downright boring & draggy), he always manages to grab my attention to his awesome storytelling prowess and I totally feel a part of that surrounding. Someone close to me suggested me to watch The Boogeyman movies but before that I wanted to read the story, so when I did I thoroughly enjoyed it, at that very moment I thought I should share it with you guys as well because great stories and narratives should be told and popularised so more and more people could enjoy them. In that process I recorded the story and decided to make it a part of A Talks so it remains here forever.

I play all the characters myself and some of you might know that my love for voiceovers and voice acting is profound, however that being said, I am in no way a "Pro" or full time voiceover person, but I can safely say that this hobby has so far kept me sane & alive, except the impact it has made on my bank account by way of making me spend so much on all sorts of gear (lol). But, nonetheless, if some of you or even one of you enjoys what I create and it brings a smile on your faces, I think the grind is worth it. So without wasting much more of your time, let's dive into today's storytelling episode.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen & Welcome to another episode of A Talks.

Beginning today, this podcast is not only gonna have talks from the heart but stories in my voice as well. Stories have a way to themselves, they capture so many feelings, they convey so many emotions, so many facets of life, so many facts, so many details and so much more. When I was deliberating to include stories in A Talks I was faced with the choice of creating a whole new podcast and doing the same therein, but then something told me that A Talks is the place where I could do this. Today I read a story by Molly Quinnell which takes you through life with its ups and downs, its beginnings and endings...its a beautiful story written really beautifully and the best part its not a thousand pages long, its short and yet tells you a story that is very meaningful and touches your heart. I sincerely hope this new addition to A Talks will come across as a pleasant change and not something that you wish was never added to this podcast, our usual talks will continue to flow as they used to and with more innovations, additions, changes, etc. A Talks will continue to bring something to your table. With that here is this new addition dedicated to all of you, my wonderful listeners.

On Today's Episode Of A Talks I Talk About Testing Various Microphones In Different Scenarios And How People Sometimes Compare One Category Of Microphones To Others And Forget That Each Of Them Is Designed To Be Used For Specific Use Cases And Scenarios, Not Denying The Fact That They Could Be Used Interchangeably As Well And If It Works For You, It Works For You. Sometimes We Get So Busy Testing And Comparing Things, We Forget To Enjoy Them, We Are Always Just A Bit Too Skeptical. So Enjoy Your Microphones, Each Day Brings With It A New Learning Experience And We Get Better With Each Passing Day

.

Hope All Of You Are In Good Health & Elevated Spirits.

In today's episode i talk about how the corona virus is spreading at a deadly pace once again, it won't be wrong if we say that its spreading at a faster pace than it was before, but there are somethings that we can do to save ourselves and our loved ones form this deadly virus, its seen everywhere that laxity among people and a casual attitude towards this problem has led to a serious situation, once again, we don't want a lockdown, but are we actually doing to avoid it, we are actually inviting it ourselves. If someone proudly call themselves influencers they must at least check what kind of influence they actually are to the younger generations of this country and their followers or audiences, we as citizens of this country have a collective responsibility towards improving the condition of this country, blaming the governments or a selective section of society to be fully responsible and accountable for the masses welfare is grossly unjust to them and we have been doing just that. Wear masks, follow social distancing and take other countries as an example who have ben successfully able to win over the situation and can now focus on their lives and its quality. Hoping that things will come under control very soon and we will get rid of this constant fear we are forced to live in very soon, i wish you all good health, good life & good fortune.
