अमेरिकन भाऊ ची सुरुवात ? American BhauI quit my well-paying tech job at Atlassian and drove alone down the Pacific Coast Highway. That trip changed my life. 🚗In this episode, the tables turn. I am usually the one asking questions on the American Bhau Podcast. This time, I am the guest. Alpana Deo, host of the Marathi podcast "मनातलं आणि मनासारखं," sits down with me to hear my full story — how American Bhau started, why I left my tech career, and what I learned along the way.We talk about the risky choice that changed everything. In March 2023, I asked my manager for a 6-month break from my job. My wife Pallavi and our kids went to India that year. I stayed back and drove alone across America, all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway. That solo trip is where I finally decided I did not want to go back to tech.I also share the real story behind the name "American Bhau." At first, we were not even sure it was a good name. Now, it is the heart of our whole brand.

“Manatla Ani Manasarkha” is not a podcast that teaches you rules, nor is it one that delivers motivational speeches.
It is a podcast about talking to your own mind—sometimes giving space to the thoughts within, and sometimes taking that small step toward creating something that feels right to you. Our mind speaks to us every single day… but do we listen?
Sometimes, we don’t have the time. Sometimes, we don’t have the courage. And sometimes, other people’s expectations become louder than our own thoughts. Isn’t that true?
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I the only one who feels this way? Come, take a look around… In “Manatla Ani Manasarkha,” you may just find a reflection of your own self.
