The first episode of the year 2021! I always wanted to get Aakash on the show and thanks to the show we are working on (Which is also why I have been away for a while), I get to finally have a wonderful conversation with him on screen with all you guys! We covered our inner workings when it comes to navigating through comedy and also had fun answering questions from you guys! Hope you had a wonderful new year so far and enjoy our candid conversation.

Celebrating the one year anniversary of the podcast, I talk about how I randomly chose "Valentine's Day" as the first topic for the show when in reality I had no idea what I was doing. I explain how I edit these episodes, How comics react to each others jokes and in general thankful for the audience of Simple Ken.

We are back with a new episode and a new guest! Getting Rahul Subramanian on the show was always an eventuality. What better way to record it than in my place. We spoke about our insecurities, our paths to comedy and why we never get around to changing our most stubborn habits.

This is what I always wanted to do with Simpleken. Have a lot of comics together discussing purely our writing process. I am very blessed to be in this field while being surround by such talented minds. To be able to share ideas and concepts with each other is probably the highest privilege I enjoy. We discussed our insecurities, our personal crisis and also our guilty pleasures! Hope you guys can take something away from it and it hopefully adds to your creative and problem solving! Also there was a 10 minute segment on toilet humour which I removed to be empathetic towards some listeners who might find that jarring.

It felt great to come back to a solo episode. I was really excited to answer questions ranging from Toxic Positivity, Privacy, Aspirations, Self Awareness and the classic 'Motivation'. Easily the bleakest month India has had in terms of COVID. Hope you and your family is safe and this episode gives you some respite for an hour.

I know I took a 4 month break ( I say 6 months by mistake in the video), I just wanted to say that I did release three crowd work videos in the middle during that period (so likeeee) . It has been quite hectic but I wanted to come back to SimpleKen when I truly missed it and wanted to come back to it! And boy it feels good to be back! I hope you guys have had a good few months in between. Whatever I experienced has come out nicely in this episode. We discuss a wide range of questions in this episode from making really hard career choices at a young age, being frustrated by the relationships (family) in your life and the pursuit of happiness. A lot of covered and a lot is shared.
