About Mute ! Block ! Delete !

It’s said, life is a journey – enjoy the ride. But the ride is not smooth for nearly all of us – our perception of life have gets framed as per the lessons we learn.

I am Balvinder Kaur – on a journey of understanding life and exploring myself, otherwise I am a social entrepreneur passionate about working on social issues…and create impactful solutions.

Well, why this podcast?

We very recently have an unwanted neighbor entering our lives in the form of COVID adding to the chaos of our already existed lives – the stress levels has been increasing for all and my interactions made me realize that most of the unwanted stress is coming from the circle of free advice. The reason we had started blogging about the same was to familiarize all about the Ulajhan’s of our lives created by the naysayers.

An evening meetup with my friends who are experts in their respective fields (one a healer and another a dermatologist) brought the idea of the podcast in addition to the blog  and here I am with Love Joshi (L J akka Gujju Chokro) and Ms. Priyadarshani (our wisdom queen) with an intention to  spread more awareness about

Mute, Block, Delete! for a peaceful life.

I am Love Joshi – I have had an exceptional career as an Investment Banker (well, we two connect as ex-colleagues also) and now am a certified therapist and Healer – it has been quite a transformational journey for me. I have made my share of mistakes while climbing the career ladder – handling more responsibilities and ignoring the stress accompanied by the lifestyle with more outings – increased smoking and alcohol intake.

Well, the silent adverse effect on my health started creeping in and I started popping medicines in my system- making me lethargic, forgetful and easily fatigued. It was in 2014 that I started running constant fever and nosebleeds…with no improvement and was diagnosed with Lupus having 5 months only of my life left.

I with family support embarked on my journey as a biker to ride across India on my motorcycle – first on my bucket list. I spent quite a lot of time living in different monasteries in Ladakh during that journey and had moved to complementary therapies and healing methodologies. To my surprise – my body had decided to heal with no traces of illness when I returned home.

I realized that my second life , my purpose would be work in the field of Therapy and Healing and help as many people as I can who are living with lot of stress and sitting on ticking time bombs. So, here I am for Mute! Block! Delete!

I am Dr. Priyadarshini Gaddagimath (Priya) – practicing dermatologist for over a decade now with sub-specialization as a pediatric dermatologist

I chose fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology as during my initial college days – I realised that my interest was in dealing with children issues. Well, that also results in bringing awareness at parent’s level to a great extent that is still a major gap. Apart from my work, I also spend time with creating awareness to assist children who end up with skin disabilities with the community dermatology society that I joined in 2016 and have been actively conducting camps to assist children and parents through check-ups, awareness talks etc. since 2018 – as a Joint Secretary.

I have understood that as a part of community awareness, the more we are able to share real life medical examples – better understanding will prevail with the parents and children leading to timely diagnosis and treatment. So, will be sharing the relevant medical implication in our conversations that lead next in the podcast Mute! Block! Delete!
