Ep6: What Is This Life?

In this episode of Chai & Chat, Sundari and Ranjit begin with W. H. Davies’ poem Leisure, a gentle reminder to pause, look around, and ask whether we are making enough space to simply be.

From there, we move into a conversation about leisure, work, rest and the ever-elusive idea of work-life balance. What does balance actually mean, and is it something we ever truly achieve, or something we keep renegotiating at different stages of life?

Together, we reflect on busy working lives, personal responsibilities, guilt around resting, and the pressure to always be productive. We talk about what leisure looked like when we were younger, what it means now, and how our ideas of success, time and happiness have changed.

And, as always, we ask the bigger questions: are we working to live, living to work, or still trying to work it all out over a cup of chai?
