Ever wondered who's really in control up there?
A neurosurgeon with years of experience navigating the brain's intricate highways, invites you on a wild ride through the most complex 3-pound universe you'll ever own which is your brain.
Buckle up as he introduces you to the colorful cast of characters living inside your head: the CEO who thinks they're running the show, the Drama Queen who overreacts to everything, and the other personalities competing for control of your decisions, emotions, and daily life.
But this isn't just a tour,it's a survival guide . Through fascinating neuroscience and real stories from the operating room, he reveals why these different parts of your brain clash, hijack your best intentions, and sometimes sabotage your mental wellbeing.
Most importantly, he shares practical strategies to work with each of these neural characters instead of against them. Learn how to calm the Drama Queen, empower the right CEO, and create harmony in the boardroom of your mind.
Because understanding your brain isn't just about knowing where things are, it's about learning how to drive.

Until recently, no one knew.Tarun Sekar, shares how a simple question "Why do we only see Western instruments , where are our own ancient Indian instruments ?"led him on an obsessive journey to resurrect the Yazh, an ancient Tamil harp lost to history for over two millennia. With no working instrument to study, no recordings to guide him, and only fragments of poetry from Sangam literature, Tarun spent a year piecing together clues from ancient texts. His curiosity refused to let him quit & he succeeded in bringing back a sound unlike any Guitar or Veena, a voice from India's forgotten musical past coming alive again. Tarun proves that small curiosities can unbury centuries of silence. His work challenges us to ask: What melodies & wisdom from our own heritage are we ignoring? Can Entrepreneurship be our way to explore our world & build what matters?
