In Episode 06 of Diverse Dialogues with Arjun, I sit down with Darell Reuben Pinto from Pain Protocol for a long, honest conversation about music, influences, and the realities of being in a band.

We talk about how artists like Daft Punk shaped his listening journey, how he eventually joined Pain Protocol, and what it’s actually like to grow as a guitarist in a band. The conversation also explores band dynamics, creative struggles, personal growth through music, and the experiences that happen both on and off stage.

If you’re a musician, a music fan, or someone curious about the real side of band life, this episode offers a grounded look at the journey behind the sound.

Featuring Darell Reuben Pinto from Pain Protocol: @pain_protocol

Hi, so we meet again, in the same month. I mean, that’ssomething new!

This episode is yet another 3-2-1 recommendation special, and this episode covers topics from Carnatic Rock and Grammy Awards, to Cinephiles and The Anurag Kashyap. 🎬

This time, you can see me passionately talk about therecommendations, and maybe because I enjoyed it a lot. Along the way, as the segment goes, I’ve got 3 songs, 2 videos, and 1 mainstream recommendation for you!

This time, the mainstream recommendation is Letterboxd, one of the biggest communities for cinephiles, and if you’re a fellow movie nerd, go check it out (and maybe follow me there too 👀).

Hi, so we meet again! It’s been a bit since the last upload, and I’m switching things up a little with this one. This episode is a 3-2-1 recommendation special where we somehow end up talking about Treeheads, alternative rock, toxic masculinity, and Bill Gates (?)

Along the way, I’ve got 3 songs, 2 videos, and 1 nerd find for you — the nerd find this time is neal.fun - a super fun website full of interactive little games that’ll definitely eat up your time in the best way possible.
