Description
Thank you. Let's talk.
In the last week, thousands of you joined India in Pixels because of a few short stories from texts most of us never got to read: the Vedas, the Brahmanas, the Upanishads. Stories written in a language we can't understand any more, told again in ours.
Tonight I just want to talk to you.
What we'll talk about:
• How these shorts get made, from a 3,000-year-old verse to a 2-minute story
• Why Narada, Indra and Virochana hit so hard, and what I personally think of these ideas (not everything you'd expect)
• Your comments: the kind ones, the angry ones, and what I've learned from both
• Which stories you want next
• And something new I've been building for a long time…
Something new: 2.2
Two strangers. One road. No feed.
2.2 is named after the 2.2 km road around IIT Kharagpur, where strangers became friends on long evening walks. It's an audio-only walk with one stranger: no profiles, no photos, no likes, just a conversation.
The first Road is small, about 20 people, and I'm choosing them myself. If you'd like to walk, apply here (18+):

I'll read every answer and write to you personally.
