4. Is the Dichotomy between Fun and Seriousness as Rigid as it seems?
In this episode, we try to understand the nuances of getting serious about something you are passionate about. To help us tackle this and other such serious questions we call upon our friend Akhil, who is invested in all things philosophical. So join us as Rathi takes over Gajapure's position as the guy with the doc (though not as passionately formatted) and we discuss whether dreams and jobs can exist together.
