We all carry this burning desire to achieve extraordinary success in life. But the fact remains that there can be no crests of success without troughs of failures. The journey is always from failure to success, struggling from a point where you feel like giving up to developing an attitude where you tell yourself 'I will never give up'. This powerful knowledge is the secret mantra that went behind the success story of ex-IES Officer Akhand Swaroop, who not only cleared the UPSC Indian Engineering Services (IES) exam but cleared 8 government exams successively. For achieving these milestones and starting a business, Akhand struggled a lot, traveling across cities with little money in his pocket. Today, Akhand Swaroop Pandit is the founder of The Catalyst Group, an Education Management company, paving the path for aspirants of  Civil Engineering, IES, SSC JE, GATE, and many more government examinations. Witness the journey of the man who cleared every government exam in this episode of Josh Talks Podcast

A professional male belly dancer is not something we often hear of since belly dancing is wrongly associated with only women, and further associated with seduction. Many don’t understand the art, and even a few are able to comprehend the gender neutrality of it. Coming from a conservative Muslim family, it was difficult for someone like Eshan, who began dancing at a very young age. Criticism, especially from his parents, was all that he heard growing up. When words of disappointment failed, Eshan’s father began to beat his son, calling dance an effeminate art that is considered haram in their culture. But that, in turn, molded a rebel, who now aims to eliminate gender bias through his dance and fashion designing skills. Eshan Hilal is known for his art and the way he has emerged out of all the hardships he faced in life. In this Josh Talk, he reminisces his life journey and explains the importance of accepting yourself and love yourself. Acceptance is the ability to unconditionally value all parts of who you are. That means you acknowledge all of yourself--the good and the things that need improvement. For most of us, self-acceptance can be hard. However, Eshan is an example of accepting oneself. Tune into this episode of Josh Talks Podcast to know the untold story of India's first male belly dancer.
