In this episode of Things You Don't Know Your Mind Can Do, we explore one of the most common struggles of the modern mind — overthinking.Why do anxious thoughts feel so real even when nothing dangerous is happening? Why does the body react to imagined scenarios as if they are actually occurring? And how can one simple question help interrupt that cycle in seconds?Through practical insights and relatable examples, this episode explores the powerful grounding question: “Is this happening now, or only in my head?” Listeners will discover how overthinking is often the mind's attempt to protect us, how anxiety influences the body through breath, heartbeat, and muscle tension, and why compassionate redirection works better than suppressing thoughts.This conversation offers a simple but powerful reminder: not every thought deserves belief, and sometimes awareness itself is enough to create calm.Expert: Anu Krishna Host: MadhaviSound: Mahesh R.Producer: Archita Puranik

What does it take to look at a piece of discarded cloth and see a person's dignity?In 1999, Anshu Gupta walked away from a corporate career with 67 clothes, a rented room, and one unsettling question: why is clothing — one of the most basic human needs — invisible on the development agenda? That question became Goonj, now one of India's most consequential grassroots movements, moving over 3,500 tonnes of material every year and touching more than 20 million lives.But Anshu didn't just build an organisation. He rewrote the language of giving — turning charity into exchange, recipients into contributors, and urban surplus into rural dignity.In this conversation, he takes us behind the inspiration to the reality of those early years. He challenges how we give, why good intentions aren't enough, and what the development sector consistently gets wrong. He talks about Not Just a Piece of Cloth — his pioneering work on menstrual dignity — and the Cloth for Work model, where communities build infrastructure in exchange for material support. He reflects on what nearly broke Goonj, what held it together, and why he wants Goonj to grow as an idea, not just an institution.A Ramon Magsaysay Awardee, Ashoka and Schwab Fellow, and now a mentor with TALLeaders, Anshu Gupta is one of the most original thinkers in the social sector today.This episode is for anyone who leads, gives, works in the development space — or simply believes the world could be built more humanely.
