These people help me to keep pushing myself to read more, to understand more, to explore more, so as to be able to really participate in the conversations that goes around and add substance to them. And I was in face of such low confidence that my speaking skills had deteriorated, my English had deteriorated, my Hindi had deteriorated. But after coming to this app, all of these things got polished again. And I grew. I grew as a person on swell
And I'm 100% confident today that I can speak about my travel stories, I can speak about my life journal, I can speak about my travel experiences, my life experiences, and so much of acceptance, so much of warmth, so much of encouragement I get from this platform
Hi Himanshi, great listening to your reply on my swell. Actually, I think many people who have joined on this platform had these very same issues previously, but some way or the other they just got rid of these problems by I actually engaging with a lot of audience and speaking to them
Hi Rajat, how are you? I heard your reply to myself and I really want to thank you for your kind words and your wishes and your reply. Yeah, I mean, there was a time wherein I was facing with this sort of problem and heard your story as to how it was problematic for you when people told that travel, it's more of see good, feel good, like feature and less of the story. But I tell you again, storytelling is an art, right?
I'm thoroughly living every moment of this experience. And yes, you rightly said that it's all about the content, but I think it's more about the context. Content comes. It's not only about putting a piece of word on a platform out there, but genuinely, it's about being authentic and authenticity demands vulnerability. I think the only breaking point between a person who comes up and becomes creative and the person who cannot is this gap of being authentic

Thank you for giving this wonderful insight related to human behavior. And it was nice connecting with you and discussing this with you. So thanks for that. And once again, happy Diwali to you too. I hope you're doing well and sending all love and warmth your way
I can think of making more such content like this in such terms in such things as well. So thank you a lot. Once again and again, warm wishes, happy Diwali. It's the last day of the valley and wish you really a very happy Diwali
So the best thing you can do right now is to focus on going through this marvelous journey. I promise you, it'd be really difficult. But at the same time, it's worth everything. Everything. And I have spoken about this on one of my swell. That is, embrace yourself and flow through the odds. So if it will help you in any way, I'm more than glad
And yes, I have seen that difficulty in the several other ways that I have taken my journey of authenticity through the part of my writing process, through the part of publishing my first book, through the part of conducting my first book publishing course for a batch of 100 students, through doing my first podcast on swell. So every single time it's about crossing one step of vulnerability and moving on to the other. And the only thing that I've understood is that this vulnerability is never going to end
Hello Anisha ma'am, a very happy Diwali to you and thank you for the invite. And the journey is something which all of us can relate to because so many times people say that you are not good enough, you can't do it, you should leave it. It's such a big dream that you are having, but I think your journey is very inspirational and I have always lied your swell and I was missing you
So I think it is a lot of work. But I think when we have supporters like you, we have people like you out there, anything is possible. And it's because of such people, such supportive people, we always feel like creating more content and just giving people a lot of value. So thank you so much for your comment, Kadambari. And I will surely come up with an exciting announcement very soon. Very soon

So thanks to you, thanks to everyone, thanks to the swell team for providing us an opportunity and I sincerely appreciate you once again for inviting and I look forward to your stories and you have a terrific week and let's, let's contribute further. Thanks a lot. You have a terrific week ahead and I'll see you in another swell. Bye
Anisha. Good morning. Hope you're doing well. I just came back to, you know, I just had a thought in mind that let me ask you to tag your post as the hashtag tell your story because the leaps of know because it resembles to one of the tell your story sessions. So maybe that can reach a wider audience because that story resonates with leaps of faith. So probably you can just hashtag it from your end. Have a lovely day and bye
But nevertheless, I'm happy you found a platform where you can express your thoughts, where your content is respected and whatever kind of thoughts, maybe poetry and maybe some sort of short tidbits, kind of things that you're interested in, you're able to showcase on this platform. And initially I was like, you know what? This platform doesn't have that much hype. I don't think people will join this platform and would want to see anything
Hi Rajat. Thank you so much for inviting me to leaps of faith. I will definitely see what kind of hashtag I have to use for it. And thank you for actually considering to tell certain things to me because I'm busy creating a lot of content as I have already mentioned, so I get pretty caught up in the content creation phase itself. But thank you for keeping me updated and thinking about me and getting me exposed to bigger audiences

I would like to say and bless all the people with your voice and with your ideas. You just share them and don't keep them to yourself only and I am eagerly waiting for all the series. You are going to come with that very soon and keep making this kind of podcasting and really amazing
Thank you so much, Rakesh Kumar, for your kind words. And I am really so grateful to people like you who always are there to support me in all my endeavors. And I'm really sorry I replied to your swell later, because, as I've mentioned, I'm creating content and it's taking a lot of time and energy, and I think only recording the content is pretty exhausting
