What’s the Point? Varun Grover on Finding Meaning in a Messy World

mujhe lgta tha ki kuch writers ki craft chori hoti h, lekin dekh ke lgta h sbki chori
hoti h

I wonder how much the fear of the unknown prevents us from taking action. You WILL get molded by your experiences anyway—if not by a mentor, then perhaps by a writer, a poet, a stranger, or even a circumstance.

bandra k baare main Varun baat kr rhe hain, aur abhi Saif Ali Khan pr bhi hamla ho gya. observation correct hain

Varun Grover ke lagbhag sabhi interviews se kuchh naya janane-pehachanane ko milta hai, isliey yeh baat-cheet dhoondhi. And I must say, it is one of the best I have ever come across--Varun to lajawaab hain hi, AMV ke sawaal aur unse jhalakta unka apana perspective bhi bahut achha laga. Dhanyavaad. Shesh doosre podcasts naye saal mein dekhne ke baad. Saal mubarak. 👍🙏

Mast podcast

I am a songwriter myself and I could not relate more with what Varun said about mentors. At times, you feel like thats the very nature of people or the industry, people sometimes autonomously become your mentor and start teaching you things. And rarely, you come across somebody who has somewhat risen above the human tendencies of ego and is genuinely passionate about people growing in that very craft. Also, kudos to you Anurag, for bringing out such insightful videos that feels so light and breezy to watch!

Such a lovely conversation, the discussion about the necessity of detachment from one's work completely changed the perspective for my own creative aspirations, so was Varun's perspective on nostalgia in the context of time as whole is something I never heard before.

Regarding the absurdity of internet humour at the end of podcast, I think this absurd humour is a sign of times to come. We are currently living in post modern times where there is an self - awareness of the nature of reality and medium in which the art is made.
The next stage I guess will be the complete deconstruction and breakdown of reality leading to chaos which the brainrot absurd internet humor iss signalling us.

मुझे वरुण जैसा एक दोस्त चाहिए जीवन में जिसके साथ बैठ कर घंटों बकैती की जा सके - पॉलिटिक्स / satire/ गाने / सिनेमा the one who does राजनैतिक कटाक्ष / o womania then suddenly मोह मोह के धागे !!

Very plain and simple interview.

What an ecofriendly way of saying F**k off!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️👍👍😤🙏🙏

Apne ko guest se jyada dikhao

Podcast is one of the best, both are spontaneous and real not scripted I guess
🎉🎉❤❤👏👏

I stayed in bandra, andheri and versova for over a decade, he is 💯%✅😅😂😂😅

Very few people around with this design of mind.
"लिखना और उसको तोड़ना मरोड़ना,
गज़ब है किसी लेखक का शब्दो को सिकोड़ना।"

Varun, money comes from this city but larger Voting Power comes from rest of Maharashtra so the city is just looted by Maharashtra Politicians w/o caring for this city and its people. Only solution is that Mumbai becomes City State cut out from the rest of the state. It should have its own and separate political voice. Bangalore is going in the same direction.

That ghostwriting business reminds me if a time when I ghostwrote a children's book, 30,000 words for 3000 rupees ... That was back in 2019... It was my first big income. Because freelance content writing industry is shit

Loved the conversation. Thank you Anurag

Appreciation for the one who decored the set...loved the bond of intelligence & aesthetic 😊

Kuch bhi bolta hai ye bhai, IT sector ka knowledge hai nai, fir bhi bolna hai, kuch bhi. Aaj pta chala ye chutia hai, abb bol dega seriously mat lo comedian ko. To serious bate kyu karte ho comedy show me, waise bhi ye comedy to hai nai.

Amazing interview and discussion!

दुनिया एक बहुत बड़ा रंगीन चुतीयापा है।

What a line !!

Every time I find the meaning of life, they change it

Love the book collection at the backdrop LEE CHILD( jack reacher), Dan Brown(Robert Langdon) and many more😍

The best Candid Podcast.

Thanks for wonderful podcast.

What a fantastic interview Anuraag!! Very satisfying. What an interviewer can get from Varun in 50 interviews, you managed to get from one. More accurately, just the things I wanted to hear about. Varun was also at his best. You should try doing an interview with Imtiaz Ali.

🔥

🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

Valuable conversation sir . I have learnt a lot of things.

Interviewer hasn’t seen the world beyond Lutyens Delhi, a city built with drains by the British.

Come over to Gurgaon where there is nothing called civic administration - piles of garbage , broken roads, no drains and drains that are blocked with malba, mismanaged traffic… chaos
And I am talking of new Gurgaon where is DLF colonies are built

What a conversation.

Resonate so much with his thoughts, life and views on writing.

Hum tumhare senior hain Lucknow se...but why do you sound so mature....anyways always good to listen to you!!

On a serious note..did you write for MD Entertainment?

Hahaha fun republic wali gali so true patheti road.

procrastinating on my writing by watching this amazing podcast hides

Moh moh ke dhaghe rahu me tere aage😂

👍❤️👍

Everyone will have something to relate to :)

Very well done podcast

Anurag you're my favourite male artist and creator. Such a genius and so grounded. I loved what you said about nostalgia. It's something that makes me uncomfortable and your short analysis spoke to that discomfort. Getting Varun Grover on was superb. Sounded like those old DD or BBC interviews with artists which we see in clips sometimes. More power to you! Please invite Paromita Vohra sometime. You both will demolish the pretentious cultural scene with humour ❤
