I, V, M. That's that's about right. We are all going to get therapy. Yeah, let's just put it out there.

We are ending the first season of Simplified. We had 13, 13, 13 years. Pretty much similar to the bugle. The bugle, I was just thinking, yeah, I was just thinking, we'll start.

Yeah, so that knows jokes about well, all of us have been going through various kinds of things over the last few months. Shifting cities, countries, new additions to family, all kinds of things. So yeah, it's been a bit of a, let's just say, scheduling has been a challenge. Let us just leave it at that.

We just think that now would be a decent time for us to pause, reflect and refresh. Refresh, yeah. Any other these? I'm refliding it.

Re-vigorate, re-animating. Reels, no. Maybe that's what we need to do. So yeah, your favorite podcast is indeed taking a bit of a break while all of us get our shit together.

Together. And announced in definite break. Oh, okay. Yeah, so something will happen.

So you'll just need to stay tuned to either this feed or some social media, again, all the links are over there. And we will figure something out in maybe a couple of weeks, maybe a couple of months, who knows, but we will be back in some shape or form. So no promises of anything as of now. But yeah, that's, I think it's been a good one.

It's been great. It's been great doing this. And it's been. This season started with me coming to your house in a rain.

Yeah. This is. Oh man. Yeah.

Something you have to make. Simplified something. We have to get very bad at this. So yeah, it's been fun.

What is it? What is it? 3-1-3-1-4. Who's highest score is this?

3-1-3-1-4. We're not going to say that. Really? Yeah, I'm sorry.

3-1-3-1-3-1-4. Who's highest score is this? 3-1-3-1-4. We're not going to say that.

Really? Really? Really? This is why we're not being sent pieces now.

Please. No. No. But yeah, no.

It's been a great run. And just to expand on that, like Chuck said, I mean, we're all with all the different things that are going on in our lives. We're not just scheduling but also like different aspects of motivation of coming and producing good stuff for you. And we really felt like if we are not going to put in the minimal effort that we do to produce simplify it, then we have consistently at least put the last 7 years.

I think it's better off that we take a bit of a break and kind of evaluate and see and come back refreshed and give you a better product in some way or the other dedicated listeners. And yeah, I think that's one of the more important things. And I think we have jokes about this before. We know that there are more than two of you out there.

So yeah, again, we say this very often but generally, thank you for spending time. I think one of the things that at least I am personally looking forward to is I'm going to, I mean, there are a few ideas I have kicking around in my head, which I kind of like want to get out the ground. Again, when they do come out, I will be talking about them on social media. So let's see.

And hopefully there are hopefully out of these four people, there will be one book that is coming out again. There are all the things that have been pointed in only one direction. So it's in the works, guys. So yeah, please go out and buy the book when it's launched.

Don't you see it before it's website to try. Dummy Link is making right now. It's like a lot of wisdom texts is to take it. So yeah, so here's one announcement, one sort of information that I have to give you guys.

I'm taking a two week sort of retreat or whatever that is to a place in Kirchath where I'm going to sit my ass down and write this body book. Oh, yeah. And haven't told you about Kathoreh Bhaji. Yes, but this is a good day.

So there is this anecdote about a guy named Abhi Fariyya, a ecclesiastical figure of Goa. And he had to speak in front of the Pope and the king of Portugal and things of that. And he was a very fine orator, which is why he was a good guy. And when he was there to deliver his address, he found his mouth was dry.

He couldn't say anything. And then his father was sitting in the marsh pit down. He sort of loudly whispered to him, Kathoreh Bhaji, Kathoreh Bhaji, cut the vegetables. So he said, all these people are here, he was just cut.

So it's the go on version of just do it, right? Maike is just do it. So why Kathoreh Bhaji is the book? Yeah, that shall be.

May we see Kathoreh Bhaji coming out of everything? Just because it's simplified, everyone saw air and actually thought that the reality, what is behind just do it. Basically what someone on death wrote was asked if you had to do it. Yeah, it was the last word.

It was just do it. There may or may not be an episode of the origin of things on that, but that recently. I was just thinking, you know, all this is quite poignant that we have decided to just hit the pause button a little bit. Just after a 300 episode of air, we professed to Amit and all that, how we like coming together.

And before that, we had that live session where we encourage people to do all the content creation. I suppose the learning for me is that when you really do feel like it's not going anywhere, or if you like are feeling burnt out or something, it's best to pause it rather than actually continue it. I think you and I have done this multiple times before. So you kind of like veterans are doing this now, you know, content project kind of pausing.

But yeah, I suppose that's the third learning and hopefully we'll have many more in the future. Absolutely. I think we mentioned in the Amitwamma episode also that the whole point of simplified that we had done in the future. Simplified that we had done in the first place was like the four of us getting together and enjoying it and the learning that we had given everyone was figure out what is it that you enjoyed doing and then make that into content and don't go with the objective of creating content.

And in that context, which is also where we are at, I mean, the four of us still will enjoy hanging out and talking to each other and all of that stuff. But in the interest of like not allowing that to become steel or not allowing that to become a chore, we intend to take this break so that we can refresh ourselves and rediscover the joy of doing that once more. Yeah, absolutely. We love to hear from you in the meantime.

I mean, the email ID that we have created, which people have written and so far. Yeah, there's a simplified.part.gmail.com. It will be given in the description of this. Yeah, no, I'm not surprised.

Tony, I had to recover the password myself. No, no, no. It's been an absolute long time. It's been an absolute long time.

It's been a long time. It's been a long time. It's been a long time. It's been a long time.

It's been a long time. It's kind of strange because I think for the first time, so because getting met, I'm not sure if it was season two and two, season three just got over and I'm still thinking about what to do. So it's kind of weird because I think it is Tony who said this for the first time in the end. I won't be having a podcast.

I won't be having a podcast. I'm not going to point to time where that kind of thing was also happening. So I'm going to say it's actually going to be interesting to put this mic away for a bit. I think all of us could use that in a little bit of a break.

So yeah, next week in the Ken is podcasting coming to end. Okay, so we are obviously very bad at doing this. So let's just put out random words which we have often used during Simpli. You already said Ken, I'll go next Scott Galloway.

You would always have a hard idea. What the fuck is the blockchain followed by? Followed by? Followed by?

We didn't know this was the same. Listen, this habit was a joke before. Which is what I think that's a perfect way to end. This has been a great season.

That is the tagline for Simpli. That is the tagline for Simpli. That is the tagline for Simpli. Finally, we took a really great Simpli.

Thank you. Thank you. I see you guys around. We better.

Yeah. So all our listeners are simplified. Stay safe. Stay simplified and stay simplified.

Just stay simplified. Just to be clear, last time we did stay safe, stay safe, stay simplified. This time it was stay safe. Stay safe.

Stay safe. I just wish I had some missed opportunity. I really wish that our penultimate penultimate episode was on housing and construction. So we could say stay safe, stay safe, stay safe, stay simplified.

Anyway, thank you so much. All of the links are in the show notes and we will see you soon in the future. Yes. And you would shout out to our producers.

Thank you. Yeah. I mean, definitely we should just. We do it again.

Yeah. Just the wonderful team at IBM. Yeah. And we went on that.

Yeah. They have put up with all of our nonsense and like showed up regularly and made head off. I have a feeling. Yeah.

I have a feeling like in these few whatever weeks months that we actually take off each of our folks who are associated with Simpli. If I'm from the IBM team, all of them are starting good. We'll start growing like slowly, slowly head south here again. And if you like, when we come back, it will start going on again.

So yeah, again, thanks so much everybody. Not just Anthony, it's an arbogum who are there right now. But I'm not sure if I can go then the entire army. That was a bad thing.

I was a boss, now being me. I'm a Toshi of course. You know, everybody who we might have missed out VNA for a while during the pandemic. So yeah, thanks.

Thanks you guys. And yeah, and thanks to all the listeners. There are some very specific names that each of us can think of. I know.

And we are honestly surprised and very humble with the fact that despite so many great podcast out there, you choose to listen to this. I think there's something special about this. We try to re-discovered at some special spark right after nothing likes his book. So yeah.

Stay safe. Stay safe. Me neither.
