- It's not everyday you have Mumbai high court lawyers on your show. Aneesa & Ranjeev also happen to be my closest friends. Adding to the mix is a producer from Vice India, my good friend Aniket Dasgupta.
This episode talks about how overwhelming understanding the law is, how ignorance of it isn't tolerated and what we can do to change our attitude towards it (or maybe we just pretend to). All of the guests (including me ) moved to Mumbai for our careers so there is a lot of millennial frustration of figuring out our lives while also getting used to the mega city that is Mumbai.

#simpleken Being a lawyer myself, I could relate to Aneesa and Ranjeev's outlook and experiences. Also I think most lawyers suck at math (Most lawyers I know start their story of how they chose law make this statement, guilty myself) I quit working at a renowned senior advocate's office at the Supreme Court. I used to work for 14 hrs a day for almost 2 years and spent whatever I was paid towards rent and Ola/Uber. Now I am at Boston University doing Masters in a subject I really am interested. I attend three days of classes and rest of the days I swim, paint, learning ballet and French. Just yesterday I went to dance tour of Florence and Machine. Never thought I would be doing this. Took a huge education loan but love every minute I am here. Also more love to you Kenny. I already heard the podcast but here to share my love for this Podcast. This feels like a journal entry we have at the University. We write back to the professor telling him what we feel about the class. I know you read our comments and you have acknowledged and replied to my comments earlier. If I haven't explicitly said it earlier, Kenny, you are an amazing person, just awesome. The amount of effort you put into each piece of content be it, reels, shorts, podcasts and your shows is insane! And others reading this please chose WORK TO LIVE be it whatever field you chose or want to be in. Love the Simple Ken family. Sometimes I come here after listening to the podcast to read some comments. It makes me feel like we are in a AA group but we are dealing with so many things. Can't wait for the next episode ❤
It's amazing of you drop this comment. Loved the podcast and I am on my second career path change rn! Lot of things in the podcast made sense, gonna text my lawyer friend now.
What field are you doing your masters in?
I like how you guys killed Ayush's optimism about being a lawyer ❤️🤣
This is awesome. You won’t believe, I was just looking for a lawyer advice. I was scared to research. I will read the constitution today.
This is so relevant and needed. Thanks a lot kenny for this long recording. Some major life lessons being talked here and people who have been through it will relate and understand. May god bless all.
As a law graduate who consciously chose not to pursue private legal practice, but instead chose a slower role in the Australian Government as a Policy Officer, I could really relate to Aneesa and Ani's outlook. Often living in competitive and career-oriented cities like Mumbai and Bangalore makes you fantasize hustle culture. If your situation allows so, it is completely okay to choose a happy and slow lifestyle. I now work part-time and I'm okay knowing I earn way less than if I pursued a career as a solicitor. Instead, I have time for all my creative endeavours like modelling, pottery, aerial acrobatics. Work to live!! 🤍

I am a law graduate and I am not interested in litigation can you tell me how got the job you doing. Thanks.
@@marcusaurelius8689 +1. It feels like there are no options apart from litigation. Can't spend 3-4 years working for a senior with zero money.
Does corporate offer good career growth for law graduates...?
You can go for judicial services or be a prosecution officer, but neither of them are lucrative choices (not even black money)
I am a lawyer and had great fun listening this. Right amount of nuance and layman’s view. Call this cool duo again sometime :)
Passion has always been over rated. Thank You for drawing a fine line between passion and earning a living for yourself. Lot's of Love Kenny ❤️
Hey kenneth,
I usually dont comment on your videos but adore them with all my heart. Your podcasts have been a bonding spot for my bestfriend and i for the past 2 years, we now are growing up...have different streams...going to different junior colleges and your podcasts have been the only thing keeping us sane and reminding us to text one another.
A while back, he (anuj) commented on one of your video (even though we are audios gang) and you liked it, and he has never shut up about it ever since. I imagine him smiling ear to ear when he texts me about how he thinks you know he exists (silly ik) and i just wanna thank you for well, everything. The podcast, the much needed advices, and for bringing me closer to my bestfriend, and also for liking his comment XD
You're a really sweet guy kenny and we hope you get whatever you wish for.
I was liking this series but loved this one. It's great to see two perspectives counter to each other, justify their sides and we as audience try to fit in one/both of them as we find ourselves. Loved all the three panelists. Have a great one.
2:45 Yes indeed, Ranjeev has perfect podcast voice.
I know right!!!
Kenny you have this very soothing experience with your podcast, you could talk about any random shit .. I'll still be listening to it.
All of them are insightful and honest about what they do and what legal profession is..!! Thanks Kenneth for bringing them on your show..!
This episode is so informative! The discussion on career wala question is amazing. Thank you, Kenny!
This one of the best episodes I’ve heard and one of the few that I watched fully.
This is soo good throughout. All the povs were great to hear out on the respective topics. Loved it! 🤍
This podcast was gold standard. All the guests woooh! How's this stuff for free?!
Expecting a podcast with Tracy
The best thing I have seen on CZcams in the past one month💯
My nanu expired like 10 days ago and i was having a really tough time dealing with that but soon after that my life took the most perfect turn that was discovering "kenneth sebastian" and his content ! Thank you so so much for helping me out of this ! the way you instantly put up a smile on people's face (particularly my face for sure) i swear no one else does ! So grateful to god to be finding your standups , podcasts and vlogs which i am genuinely so much emotionally invested in ! You have a really long way to go :)
AND , as long as best memory is concerned it's definitely about having a good time while watching you and your videos
LOVE,
ADITI
Absolutely Loved this format!!
All the three guests were amazing!!
Looking forward for more of such videos! Lots of love! ✨❤
Totally agree with what Aneesa said about people in Mumbai (politically and legally correct :p) not taking anything for granted. In the lockdown I had a 6 month stay in Kerala and it annoyed me so much that people would take my time, space etc. for granted! I wasn't able to put this aspect of Mumbai into words yet, now I know! Great episode, enjoyed it and related to it on so many layers, since I am also a lawyer.
for me this long recording of you talking is best one yet in the series
I could not have ended today on a better note! Such a treat ❤️
Okay, I stand corrected. You liking my comment topped that🌝
The best episode so far ❤️
As someone who had at one point moved to Bombay with a group of other guys that were also from other places, I loved how this discussion presented both spectrums of people that fall in love or regret moving there.
Just loved this podcast..being a lawyer myself I could just relate to it so so much…
Absolute delight ❤️❤️
By far, my fav episode and I expect more podcasts like these. Kudos #simpleken ❤️
Such an insightful episode! ❤️
Just awesome!!! So true. Nobody tells u the negatives of hustle culture.
Please talk about therapy Kenny
What made you start therapy, how to know if the therapist is good or not, and what was your experience with it? Talk about the changes you saw in your life before and after therapy.
Love this channel & the authenticity you bring.
Make sure the therapist is not physcopath 😊
I haven't watched something so real and so good in a whileeeeeee
12:34, never thought of it that way, pretty much practical thoughts especially Aneesa's.
Hey Kenny!!! I am not from law background but this was still so interesting to watch. I like to understand perspectives of people coming from different mental, emotional and professional places. What a fun panel. I can watch "the long recording of you talking" non stop. I have been watching Simpleken since lockdown. That's the year I graduated and started working. So i feel i have started adulting around the time Simpleken started. Your thoughts and insights have made a really good impact on me. Please come up with next episode soon. 💛✨
The career discussion is what I needed right now. Thanks #simpleken
This was so refreshing!
I delayed watching this but DAMN THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ONE YET!
Thank YOU very much Kenny words from Aneesa are so wise. I don't have enough words to Thank YOU and Aneesa for all the wisdom.
Loved the way Aneesa talks
Yeeh audio gang here completed this post cast yesterday on Spotify just here see Kenny's friends
Absolutely Loved it ❤️
Around 72 hours ago , i hadn't watched even a single video starring kenny , but now at this very moment i don't have a SINGLE video left ! you are definitely the best stand up comedian i have seen so far kenny ! the way you connect to the audience just blows my mind ! I am seriously so much personally and emotionally invested in your content be it Standup , podcast , vlogs or whateverrrrrr !
YOU ARE THE BEST
LOVE ,
ADITI
I would love to listen more to Ranjeev. Seems like a very thoughtful, wise and geniune human being.
Loveeeee this episode
Hello Kenny,
Such a nice podcast…it feels like u shld go on and on…one literally picking up from another ..truly enjoyable…made my day 👍🏻! What was said about passion in jobs is so so relatable…Special mention to Ranjeev who has a great voice and gave concise insights on all points raised.
I work as a Graphic designer / Illustrator, and I can totally relate to Aniket!
I am working at a corporate company, I would like to experience the Animation and Game industry, before just retiring to a quieter place, and work as a freelancer, or on personal projects. :)
Wow! I missed your episode Kenny love ❤ from Sikkim. Hope you may come here someday.
Awesome show
I've just started my masters in science, and for as long as I remember I have wanted to become a scientist. But now when I see my friends who chose BTech get amazing packages and I see the amount of time I will have to devote for my career (about 10 years for now), I'm very scared. I don't know if this passion thing is worth it, and there's legit no guidance. This podcast reassured me that it's alright. Thank you for reminding me I don't have to do Payless labour for the rest of my life (:
Oh wow, Aneesa was actually a junior for one of my firms cases!
I am a law student and I would love to see more of Adv. Ranjeev's videos on topics of law. Just realised he is also my college alumini!
#SimpleKen
Hey.. Kenny.. I'm 27, I'm in a weird stage of my life right now..
I recently got heart broken with my bi polar GF who I had been in a relationship with for 4 Years.. I had planned everything from career, marriage etc., with this girl .. Our parents were also involved. Now she doesn't want to get married. After putting Emotional investment into her.. I feel pointless in my Life. What's your opinion on taking life in a different direction after a break-up with my situation..
P.S: Love the long recordings of you talking about Life things and Lessons..✌🏻👍🏻
Hi Girish,
Please don't feel pointless. I can totally feel you where you at. I would suggest you to give some time and things will surely come back at place. Wishing you better peace of mind.
Bruh...
@@yogeshrai3039 Thanks.. bro. Appreciate it..
Hi Girish, Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone feeling this way. The whole aspect of losing the purpose of your life when all the grand plans you made around a relationship falls apart is totally relatable. Your feelings are valid. I guess numbing it with distractions does more harm than good in the long run. Hope you find the strength to work on yourself and heal through it. Much power to you!
@@anaghavenugopal7166 Thank you. I really appreciate for all the kind comments I'm getting..
I had the guts to open up in the comment section of #simpleken.. This makes me think I'm on the path of healing.. 🤞🏻✌🏻
Hey Kenny, Aniket, Anissa, and Ranjiv: firstly lots of love to all of you ❤️ for doing this. I really liked this one because I could see your friendships coming through and was overall a good discussion, but most of all this was a very ground level conversation with honest opinions, sometimes opposite opinions as well, but from the heart. Amazing amazing episode. Would love to see the same guests again🙂
Thanks for the love Ajinkya!
Loved it
Hey Kenny, Love all your videos! ❤
Damn the best episode for me so far .😁
Rajeev kind of looks like Rana Daggubati.
#simpleken This episode was great. Would love to see more of your friends from other professions.
#simpleken
Hi Kenny sir! First, I wanna thank you for making those long recordings of you talking. They have helped me a lot during my stressful times. I don't want to make it really long so I will straightly come to the point. I am 19 and have been a very jolly person since I was a kid. I am very social and I like talking to people a lot. And I have always thought people liked me for that as well. I have also been quite popular in my school days for that reason. People and even my teachers have always told me that I have good communication skills. But one of my friends who also happens to be 3 years older than me thinks it in some other way. He calls me an attention seeker instead because as per his definitions, a girl who initiates conversations first with a guy/girl doesn't have a personality and is just merely seeking attention. But for a guy, it's not the same case he thinks. Guys have always been the ones to initiate but for a girl, he thinks she should bring some attitude to herself. I couldn't agree with what he said, it really hurt me and I have been obsessing over it. This was not the first time when somebody had said this, I have also heard a few people talk behind my back regarding the same thing in my past but getting it from him hit me a bit hard cause he was really a good friend to me. Also, he has not even seen me talking with people that much in real life. We were not from the same institution. He just gave his opinion based on what I have shared with him regarding my days or moments of communicating with a new group of people so far. For eg: I would tell him stuff like "I met this person today on my flight. He was seated beside me and we talked about this and that etc." And my friend would be like "Who initiated first? Must be you. Only you can lose your reputation in that way, what was the need?" And he would get started in this way. It really frustrates me cause I think he takes it in some other way. He's not a bad person though but in some cases like this one, he really gets on my nerves. What are your views on this? What does a friendly personality mean to you? Do you think it's wrong for a girl to initiate conversations? Your response would really mean so so much. Will be waiting!
Much love!
At first i thought rana dagubatti came
Should have included a CA to the panel too. It would have been fun watching lawyers and CAs both sharing the screen.
Not a lawyer but the thing about passion is just what's been on my mind for a few days now. Passion is overrated and you need to accept that working for a living is a thing you have to do. Just try finding a line of work which is tolerable for the next 10-15 years before pivoting to something else.
Was a fun and informative watch. I was wondering Aneesa was looking similar to some other celebrity, then thought she looks like actress nazriya and cricket presenter sanjana ganesan combined. Ranjeev looks like Rana Dagubati and sundar pichai combined ha.
I love Ranjeev's surname
It's a job at the end of the day !!
31:05 i want to meet those colleagues in Bangalore! I am a practicing lawyer in Bangalore and the litigation scene is not even close to this laid back, unless your dad is a big lawyer withal an established firm
Sahi hai ye
In the entire episode I was looking at Aneesa 😅. Am I the only one please tell me, she's damn pretty.
💖💖💖
Ranjeev's voice and looks are like as if Gautam Vasudev Menon had a beard.
#simpleken I wonder how being in a volatile setup like that of today's world (emotional, financial, socio-political) and working towards expanding one's mind and intellect doesn't parallely make one more and more nihilistic with every passing day? What's your touchstone for sanity?
Hey Kenny can you do a video like this with doctors as well?
Still trying to find @Prashasti..
this one's for the algorithm
I'm not from India and I met an Indian where I live, he mentioned he's from Kerala. I said I know a comedian from Kerala, Kenny Sebastian, and he was like "who? I don't know about him, how do you know him?" I said "he's famous on youtube" but was half embarrassed and half disappointed lol.
Please bring some urban planners
It's at 21:30 what you are looking for
True bro how do you know about it
This is what I interpreted from Aneesa's say over passion." Dunia MC hai, sab paise ke piche bhagre, koi kisiki madat nahi karra. Its all about money at the end". I might be wrong, probably i am wrong but this is what I interpreted.
Bang on my dude. This is Kalyug... It isn't surprising to know that most people are selfish and will put their interests over everyone and everything else
Hey there, I think she meant to say that after some time your job just becomes a means for you to generate income. People stop thinking about bringing a change after they enter the career. Because then they think about making money. Now as per my understanding, bringing a change can be different from what your career is. You can make lots of money and also take out time to uplift the society, in your free time. I hope I make sense.
@@akanshagoel709 you are correct
I will happily pay for an app that has only Ranjeev speaking.
LAW ASPIRANTS 🙋🏻
Is honcho camera? Family camera ??
i like the intro song but the name of the podcast can be better like kenny's podcast
Is that a linga Aneesh is wearing ?
Inttrow saung!!!!
Where Kanan
Get a CA on your podcast?
In response to the last 5 minutes (or maybe 3?) - please ponder upon the word 'leverage'. And then ponder about supply and demand in the Indian context. Then realign your focus on the (fabled) viability of negotiating your work contracts in the construction sector. [#nodiss just spitting facts].
This can be extrapolated to any industry which has Supply>>>>>>>>demand
I literally brought up supply and demand buddy. Not a novel addition.
#simpleken hey kenny i am currently in class 11 , i have always been degraded for my looks and the way i do things when i was younger so now its really hard for me to accept a compliment despite the fact whether its true . later one of my friend started to notice it (over the time period of 4 years) that i can't accept something positive about me and she later pointed it out in a rude way saying that ' why can't u accept something , why are u this uptight' and etc , because of that now i always accpet whatever someone says about me (positive or negative) and later on feel sad that i cant reassure myself by asking them again 'oh rlly??' . I dont know what i am doing is actually how i am supposed to be or if i am just adjusting myself into the perfect picture .
12:29
From when Rhea Chakraborty started talking about law 🤔
Dude who is this, lite Rana Dugupati
U can't compare law of Mumbai with Delhi?
Delhi has definitely better litigation scene.
Ria Chakraborty?
🖤🤍Best🤍🖤
What you have to say for pretty?
Ranjeev is so hot
He said 376 instead of 377, facepalm! 376 is punishment for rape.
