Ronny var en ambisiøs ung politimann som søkte utenlandstjeneste i Libanon og Kosovo på jakt etter spenning. Karriereveien så lovende ut, men jakten på spenning for å fylle tomrommet etter utenlandsoperasjonene tok snart overhånd. Det som startet som helgefylla, utviklet seg raskt til et dobbeltliv med kriminalitet, fest, damer, kokain og tyngre stoffer. Til slutt mistet han alt – hjem, jobb, og retten til å være politi. I denne episoden av podcasten får vi er en sterk historie om hvordan rus kan ødelegge alt, men også om veien tilbake til livet. Ronny deler sin brutalt ærlige fortelling, i håp om at hans erfaringer kan inspirere andre til å finne veien ut. Helt klart en av våre beste episoder på lenge!

Auckland's water crisis has been in the media over recent weeks, and the 2020 drought reminds us a lot of the water restrictions in 1994. Auckland's population is now 50% larger than 1994, has water infrastructure kept up? Just how vulnerable are we to dry years? Is the Waikato river the solution? Taxpayers' Union Executive Director, and Auckland Ratepayers' Alliance Founder Jordan Williams sits down with the CEO of Water Care Raveen Jaduram for a deep dive into Water Care - its business model, how it's funded, and how it trades the risk of drought with affordability.To subscribe to the New Zealand Taxpayers' Union visit www.taxpayers.org.nz/sign_upTo subscribe to the Auckland Ratepayers' Alliance visit www.ratepayers.nz/join*** If you are struggling to pay your Water Care bill and need some assistance, including details on the Water Utility Consumer Assistance Trust is available at https://www.watercare.co.nz/Help-and-advice/Help-with-your-account/Need-help-paying-a-bill and http://www.waterassistance.org.nz ***Support the show (http://www.taxpayers.org.nz/donate)
After speaking to Raveen in episode 1, I went onto research more South Asian women who have been passionate about starting a conversation on fertility treatment and surrogacy. Kreena has been through breast cancer and heart failure. Despite all of that, she was determined to find solutions to start the family she always dreamed of. As an expecting mother, I had goosebumps listening to Kreena's story and it gave me a whole new perspective on motherhood. Carrying my baby in my womb is a privilege and an honour to be able to bring a new life to this world. Many women cannot live through these nine months where they feel their baby grow and kick - and it's important we acknowledge that and understand that there is a whole different world to motherhood. Part 2 will be with you soon.
Recently Watercare presented a four stage plan to Auckland councillors on further water restrictions, if dam levels continue to drop. We’re joined by CEO for Watercare Raveen Jaduram for more.

Auckland has been warned it cannot rely on the Waikato River alone to get it out of a drought-induced water supply crisis.Waikato Regional Council chair Russ Rimmington said while the Waikato could help the country's largest city with its water woes to some extent, it was important for other options - such as harvesting rainwater from roofs and enlarging dams - to be considered."To actually run the water supply today just on the weather gods is probably foolhardy, that's the nicest way to put it," Rimmington said."They've got to look at longer, more sustainable ways of water harvesting and collection and retention in the dams."He said Watercare had "dropped the ball" with its strategic planning."We are water-conservation conscious, the city of Hamilton put on water restrictions as early as October but in Auckland it was more like [May], then it was like 'oh there's no water'."Rimmington was among the regional council leaders who met with the heads of Watercare and Auckland Council on Friday to discuss options.They will next meet with Waikato-Tainui and the Waikato River Authority.Rimmongton and Auckland Mayor Phil Goff both said that if the drought continued into spring, Auckland's water shortage would be a crisis come summer.Goff said the meeting with Waikato Regional Council was a crucial step towards ensuring a more joined-up approach."With Auckland facing its worst drought on record, it's critical that additional supply from the Waikato River is made available in the short to medium term, without sacrificing the health of the awa," he said.Yesterday, the seven-day rolling average of water use in Auckland was 408 million litres per day, below Watercare's 410 million litre target."However, even with the significant efforts Aucklanders are making, the record low rainfall we've seen in recent months continues to be a serious challenge," Goff said."If we do not get enough rain in winter and spring, Auckland will face a crisis in water supply this summer. I have instructed Watercare to seek supply from every available water source to head off a potential emergency.By RNZ
In this episode, Raveen talks about why he is betting big on Edtech, Retail, and Fintech startups and how his stint in building Myntra helps him in making investment decisions.
This episode will open your eyes to the reality of what healthcare workers are facing during this pandemic and what’s to come in the future. For those of you who may remember Raveen from episode one, I had to bring her back in this episode because like her, many patients are anxious and concerned about their future chemotherapy treatment. Psychologists are planning out the next few years on how healthcare workers will be affected by stress, trauma, and anxiety. I also spoke to a radiographer and she is scanning patients at such a high volume that she fears she may have to ration her protective gear between patients. Despite the uncertainty of the future, Dr. Nirja Joshi tells me how she believes this pandemic has removed a lot of red tape for doctors and has given her a new opportunity to work from home and assess her patients much quicker - something that was impossible just two weeks ago. This pandemic has created a radical re-ordering of our society and with this, it’s brought about an opportunity for change. Thank you to everyone around the world who is helping out during this time, we need you now more than ever.
My first guest, Raveen Sethi, is a cancer thriver and in her early twenties, she was posed with a difficult decision of whether she should freeze her eggs as she was receiving heavy treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma - a topic that's rarely discussed in the South Asian community. We discuss how her diagnosis first came about and how she has come to terms with dealing with her fears and how she has learnt to create a space where she can protect her parents from her own grief. This episode will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will give you a whole new perspective on life. Raveen tells us not to see life as a timeline and if the timeline we planned out doesn't work out for whatever reason, it's okay to start again from scratch.

This episode of Pic.Think: TV (w/ Sy, Martin, Gladys & Raveen) explores the themes of social media, moral monsters and the Matrix found within seasons 3 & 4 of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror. The first section (Heaven & Hell) of our discussion centres around Robert Nozick's "Experience Machine" thought experiment and both the "San junipero" & "Playtest" episodes to explore the possibility of heaven and hell on earth. The second section (Moral Monsters) we sift through the episodes of seasons 3 & 4 to explore the dangers of virtual reality and social media in creating moral monsters. The third section (The Matrix) we conclude the review by discussing whether the Americanisation of these seasons of Black Mirror help or hinder the show. Also, the episode "Hang the DJ" inspires a discussion as to whether the Matrix is possible or a figment of our imagination.
This episode of Pic.Think: FILM is a one-to-one discussion on Danny DeVito's rendition of Roald Dahl's Matilda with Sy & Raveen. In the first part (Childhood movies & literature), we start off the conversation taking a stroll down memory lane by first considering which 1990s movies defined our children. We also reminisce on what childhood books we read or wished we had. Throughout both the second and third part (Childhood vs. Adulthood), we review Matilda by comparing how we felt watching as a youth versus how we feel watching as adults. We discuss the memorable scenes, characters, messages taken from the film etc.

This episode of Pic.Think: TV centres around Netflix's Narcos: Mexico, the companion series to the original Narcos, with Sy, Raveen & Gus Jonesy. The first segment (One Good, One Evil)starts off the conversation considering which one evil we would choose to rid the world of and which one good we would choose to bless the world with, if we had the power. In the process, d'evils we consider include pedophilia, domestic abuse, poverty, selfishness, greed & racism; on the other hand the goods we consider include non-discrimination, shared wealth and education. In the second segment (Love & War ... on Drugs) we delve into the review by examining how accurate, educational and entertaining Narcos: Mexico is in the dramatisation of the US government's campaign against the illegal drug trade. The third segment (The Legalisation of Drugs) concludes the conversation by questioning whether it would be a blessing or a curse for government legalisation and regulation of illegal drugs - classes A, B & C.
This episode of Pic.Think: TV focuses on the third season of Issa Rae's HBO comedy series "Insecure" with Sy, Raveen & Gladys. The first part of this episode (Friend or Foe?)warms up the discussion with a behind the scenes chit-chat between Raveen & Gladys with accompanying snippets from the third season's soundtrack. The discussion officially begins attempting to define what a "friend" means to us and whether or not we could be genuine friends with an ex-partner. With this, we then contemplate the concept of Platonic love, its roots in Greek philosophy and whether it's feasible or even possible. The second part (Preference or Prejudice?)progresses onto review the third season by questioning whether or not it successfully follows season 1 & 2. After this, we focus on Molly's initial reluctance towards interracial dating in this season, from which we ask whether it's an example of preference or prejudice. From this, we then question the moral difference between interracial and interfaith dating/marriage. The third part (Women-led TV) attempts to confirm whether Insecure is unique in comparison with other women-led TV series. We attempt to confirm this with the help of Robyn Bahr from The Hollywood Reporter's "Theory of the Four". According to Robyn Bahr, this theory is centred around "four female archetypes that serve to elucidate modern sexual politics" and, as such, we use this to confirm whether or not the four main female characters of the show - Issa, Molly, Tiffany & Kelli - are stereotypical examples found in women-led TV or if they stand multi-faceted and set-apart from the archetypes of this theory.

This episode of Pic.Think: FILM focuses on Disney Pixar's critically acclaimed family film "Inside Out" with Sy, Raveen & Gladys. In part 1 (Adult Emotions), we begin by considering the accuracy of Google's synopsis of the film. We follow this up by considering the film's personified emotions - Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger & Disgust - and deliberate which emotions would take centre stage in our minds if we were the protagonist of this story. From the list of emotions personified, both old and new, we then decide which emotion would be de facto leader of our own minds as the emotion of Joy is in Riley's mind. In part 2(Plutchick's Wheel of Emotions), we continue the discussion in a similar vein by considering Riley's personality islands - Hockey, Goofball, Friendship, Honesty & Family - and we decide what islands would constitute our own personalities. After this, we look at one of the psychological conceptions that inspired this film: Robert Plutchick's "wheel of emotions". Following this, we examine one of the central themes behind the narrative of this film: the transition from childhood to adulthood (i.e. growing up). In part 3 (Emotional Acceptance), the discussion concludes by considering the filmmakers' implicit value, appreciation and acceptance of various emotions, despite the history of social stigma towards emotions.
This episode of Pic.Think:TV features Sy, Sammie, Gladys & Raveen and focuses on season 1 & 2 of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror. The discussion begins by hypothetically considering whether or not the right price offered could permanently dissuade us from our personal use of black mirror technology. Through this idea we explore the pros and cons of modern day technology. The discussion progresses to our review of the introductory seasons of Black Mirror. From these two seasons we consider three things: which examples of black mirror technology are most likely due to come into existence; which examples we're most apprehensive about coming into existence; and, conversely, which ones we're anticipating the most. After this, we unpack the philosophical problem concerning personal identity by applying thought experiments, such as Jullian Baggini's "Beam Me Up" (The Pig that Wants to be Eaten, 2005) and Ancient Greek Historian Plutarch's "Ship of Theseus" (Theseus Paradox), to Black Mirror episodes such as Be Right Back (S2, Ep.1). The discussion concludes by using the episodes Be Right Back (S2, Ep.1) and White Christmas (S2, Ep.4) to ask whether it is possible to clone human consciousness. We question whether this copied consciousness can be considered identical to the original human consciousness, or at the very least whether this copy can legitimately be considered a person.
In this episode of Pic.Think: FILM, Sy, Raveen & Gladys review Richard Linklater's (Writer-Director of Boyhood) overlooked philosophical docu-fiction Waking Life. The discussion begins by using an opening line in the film, "dream is destiny", to answer whether we consider ourselves as either realists (pragmatists) or idealists (dreamers). Within this section we progress to share our thoughts and impressions of Eamonn Healy's monologue concerning "the new evolution" of the human individual. The discussion then progresses to review the execution of the film as a whole: whether we consider the film as successfully and simultaneously educational, enjoyable and accessible. In this second section we philosophise on the enigmatic nature of language and the dynamic nature of the human spirit.
