Today, The Gyaan Project turns 9.

And honestly, it feels surreal.

Since 27th December 2016, I have been documenting Indian creative wisdom across disciplines and ways of thinking. After 318 episodes, I found myself wondering how to mark this moment and the answer came naturally.

So here it is.

A small celebration.

A warm offering.

9th Anniversary Soup

9 bites from 9 conversations.

This is primarily an audio episode. You can also watch it on YouTube if you like.

The episode opens with Dr. Uttara Chousalkar from Episode 66, singing a short phrase of Baul music. The episode then closes with a few lines by Mohammad Muneem Nazir (Alif), from Episode 265.

The soup brings together these nine questions and voices:

What is Design? by B.V. Doshi

What is a frame? by Prashant Godbole

Should art depict society or should society learn from art? by Varun Grover

Is it wise to change your career path in Design? by Ruchita Madhok

How was design seen in the 1970s? by Sujata Keshavan

What is the measure of a good designer? by Ayaz Basrai

Why do we need art? by Rajat Kapoor

I hope you enjoy this soup as much as I enjoyed making it.

If you would like to give me an anniversary gift - Please share this episode with as many people as you can. And if you have not already, do subscribe to the YouTube channel and The Gyaan Project website. It truly means a lot.

Thank you for listening.

See you next year.

Take care.

And stay curious.
