Episode 07: The Art of Unfinished Things
We all have them — half-written notes, abandoned projects, forgotten diaries, and dreams still buffering in the background. In this episode of Tales, Thoughts & Truths, Abhiram Ravikumar talks about the quiet beauty of unfinished things — and why they aren’t failures at all.
From New Year resolutions that fade too soon, to stories that wait years before finding their ending, this episode explores how timing, growth, and patience shape our creative lives. Sometimes, what feels incomplete is simply waiting for the right version of us.
You’ll also hear a fascinating truth about the Eiffel Tower — a structure that was never meant to last, yet became timeless. A reminder that unfinished or temporary things can still evolve into something meaningful.
✨ If you’ve ever felt guilty about not finishing something, this episode is for you.

This episode has no separate segments of Tales, Thoughts & Truths. It is a heartfelt reflection on the wonderful creative literary genius, Franz Kafka. Dedicated to his life and work, I warmly welcome you all to listen.
This episode is a look back at my 8–10 year writing journey —from getting humiliated for my very first story to slowly finding my voice through imagination, failure, and countless tiny lessons. I share how those early struggles pushed me to observe life differently, why I kept writing even when things didn’t work out, and how all of it eventually led to my first book, A Handful of Beginnings. -https://amzn.to/4oMjasv
I also talk about how this podcast truly began, share today’s Thought and Truth, and give a small teaser of next week’s episode, where we step into the strange, silent world of Franz Kafka.
This episode is special.
I’m taking you back to the night that started my Moon Series — the tiny moment, a random text, and a weird little thought that turned into something meaningful.
From late-night chats to conversations with the Moon, this episode explores why the smallest things in life often spark the biggest ideas.
We talk about creativity, noticing the world again, Walt Disney’s unbelievable origin story, and why your “silly” observations might actually be magic waiting to happen.
If you’ve ever looked at the Moon, laughed at your own thoughts, or wanted to create something but didn’t know where to start — this one’s for you.
DM me on Instagram if you want to share the “tiny thing” you keep noticing. I read everything.
Let’s bring back curiosity..
Tune in, vibe with me, and share it with someone who needs a spark today.
I had everything ready; the mic, the notes, the plan.
But one unexpected call from a student changed the whole episode.
In this week’s story, I talk about my journey as a mentor; how it began, what it taught me, and why “helping others” often helps us grow too.
From my first class at 21 to building Contenders, to the truth session about UNO and finding our passion—this one’s close to my heart.
This episode begins with a familiar haze at the mental cloud we call brain fog, and slowly drifts into a story I’ve never shared before: the day I almost gave up on writing. From a moment of harsh criticism to an unexpected push that brought me back, this one’s about how a few words can shape an entire journey.
We’ll talk about the power of encouragement, the weight of small comments, and why sometimes just saying “keep going” can change someone’s life.
🎙️ A tale, a thought, and a truth — all about how one “yes” can make all the difference.
In this very first episode, I’m introducing you to Tales, Thoughts, and Truths — a space for stories, reflections, and real conversations. I’ll share a bit about who I am, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect from each episode going forward.
We’ll also dive into our first "Thought" — how our attention spans are changing in the age of fast content — and I’ll leave you with a simple but powerful truth about how big journeys often start small.
If you enjoy honest reflections and storytelling, you’re in the right place.
🎙️ Let’s begin.
