from Around The World · host Veena World

पत्रकारिता, फेक न्यूज, प्रवास, समाज आणि माणसांचं वर्तन 🌍✨, राजीव खांडेकर यांच्यासोबतचा हा भाग फक्त प्रवासापुरता मर्यादित राहत नाही.सोशल मीडियामुळे वाढलेल्या फेक फॉरवर्ड्स आणि चुकीच्या माहितीपासून या गप्पांची सुरुवात होते. कोणतीही माहिती पुढे पाठवण्यापूर्वी तिचा स्रोत तपासणं किती महत्त्वाचं आहे, यावर ते स्पष्टपणे बोलतात.मुंबईने त्यांना कसं घडवलं, दिल्लीमुळे भारताकडे पाहण्याची दृष्टी कशी बदलली, आणि योग्य माणसं निवडून दिल्लीमध्ये स्वतःचं जग कसं उभं केलं, हे ते मनमोकळेपणाने सांगतात.यानंतर चर्चा होते महाराष्ट्र पर्यटनावर, आपल्या राज्यातील सुंदर ठिकाणांच्या अभावित प्रसिद्धीवर, आणि आपल्या समृद्धीबद्दल आपणच अभिमानाने का बोलत नाही यावर.रत्नागिरीच्या बॅकवॉटर्सपासून ते आटपाडीजवळच्या स्वातंत्रपूरपर्यंत, कोविडनंतरच्या हरिद्वार-ऋषिकेश अनुभवांपासून ग्लासगोच्या म्युझियम्सपर्यंत, हा भाग अनुभव, निरीक्षणं आणि विचारांनी भरलेला आहे.स्वच्छता, नियमांचं महत्त्व, म्युझियम्स, ऐतिहासिक स्थळं, जर्मनीतील शिस्त आणि प्रवासातून समाज समजून घेण्याचा प्रयत्न, या सगळ्यांमुळे हा भाग खूप वेगळा ठरतो.जर तुम्हाला वाटत असेल की प्रवास म्हणजे फक्त ठिकाणं पाहणं नाही, तर समाज आणि माणसं समजून घेण्याचा प्रवास आहे, तर हा एपिसोड नक्की पाहा.--------------------------------------------------From journalism and fake news to travel, society, and human behaviour 🌍✨, this episode with Rajiv Khandekar goes far beyond destinations.The conversation begins with the impact of social media, fake forwards, and misinformation in today’s world. He explains why verifying information before reacting has become more important than ever.Rajiv Khandekar shares how Mumbai shaped him, why Delhi changes the way you see India, and how consciously choosing the right people and friendships helped him build a life in the capital.The discussion then shifts to tourism in Maharashtra, the lack of awareness about beautiful local destinations, and why India often fails to present its own richness confidently to the world.From Ratnagiri’s hidden backwaters to Swatantrapur near Atpadi, and from post-Covid experiences in Haridwar and Rishikesh to the museums of Glasgow, this episode is filled with stories, observations, and perspectives that make you think differently about travel and society.He also reflects on cleanliness, civic sense, museums, historical places, Germany’s discipline, and why observing people and cultures is one of the greatest joys of travelling.If you believe travel is not just about seeing places, but understanding people, systems, and society, this episode is for you.
