The Host
I am a woman of South-Asian descent living in Germany with my husband. I have a university background in life sciences and horticulture.
I enjoy reading fiction books and watching TV shows and movies, particularly thrillers, suspense, mysteries, horrors, period dramas, and fantasy genres. like watching anime. Some of my all-time favourite anime series include Dragon Ball Z, One Punch Man, Mashle: Muscles and Magic, Violet Evergarden, Kakuriyo: Bread and Breakfast for Spirits, and Fruits Basket.
I also indulge in occasional painting and word games. While I love spicy food, I can get frustrated when cooking despite being a good cook myself. In my free time, I usually like to watch TV shows or movies or go sightseeing.
Since I have been living in Europe for some time now, I find myself fascinated by the charms of medieval history. I particularly enjoyed visiting Prague, Budapest, Vienna, and Istanbul. I really hope I get to visit cool historical places all over the world.
Roots Revealed Podcast
Roots Revealed podcast tries to uncover the ways plants have influenced human behaviour, emotions, and societies through time, sprinkled with some scientific perspectives.
In each episode, I will delve deeply into a specific plant, exploring its origins, folklore, significance in arts and history, and wrapping up with a little bit of medicinal and science-based facts.
The idea behind creating this podcast was two mix two aspects of life. My academic subject horticulture and my interest for history and folklore. I believe that knowing about the past can reveal the intricacies between plants and humans, and provide valuable insights into the present and future. With my endeavour, I want you to have a deeper appreciation for diversity and beauty of the flora around us.
My aim is to create well-researched content, drawing references from reliable sources such as scientific papers, academic journals, books, botanical and historical encyclopaedias, and relevant websites.
