In this episode, Daman Tiwana is in conversation with two community members, Khyati Thakur and Tushar Malik, about how media and movies influence our thinking, normalize certain behaviors, and eventually shape our culture. Influences, both positive and negative, come in all shapes and forms, like the movies that we watch whether Bollywood or Hollywood, music videos, lyrics, ads, tv shows, magazines— the list is long and some of the messages end up being toxic for our minds, our relationships, and even our future generations, and it's imperative to be selective about the content that we allow our minds to consume. Listen to this reflective discussion where our guests share their own stories and biases they noticed in themselves as a result of this conscious and subconscious exposure to media & movies!
