What is it about Bengalis and mountains?

From Tagore retreating to Shillong to write, to the great tradition of 'bhraman sahitya' — Bengali travel writing — to every Bengali who has stood at Tiger Hill watching the Kanchenjunga at dawn, there is something specific about the Bengali relationship with the high places.

In this episode, Anirban Deb traces that relationship through literary history and personal memory, exploring what cultural identity reveals about our deepest geographies.

India's burnout numbers are not a crisis on the horizon — they are a crisis in progress.

In this episode, Anirban Deb looks at what the research says about workplace wellbeing in Indian organizations, why most corporate wellness programmes don't work, and what a trek through the Himalayas revealed to him about what human beings actually need to sustain high performance. Data driven, honest, and ultimately hopeful.

Why do two people in the same difficult meeting leave with completely different stress responses?

Because stress is not an event — it is a narrative.

In this episode, Anirban Deb unpacks the story-structure of workplace stress, and introduces a framework from the book Himalaya Kheechta Hain for understanding how the narratives we carry about pressure, performance, and worth are both the problem and — with the right altitude — the solution.

Essential listening for HR leaders, managers, and anyone responsible for the wellbeing of a team.

What does altitude sickness have in common with burnout? More than you think.

A practical, surprising episode for anyone who has ever felt breathless at their own desk.
