This week, Cyrus is joined by bestselling novelist, filmmaker & comic book writer Samit Basu. Samit just released his latest book titled 'Chosen Spirit' in April 2020. Cyrus and Samit talk about Cyrus' Bengali pronounciations, publishing books in these times, and how the experience of releasing a book during such times was not that different for Samit from a release in regular times. They also get into how Samit became a writer, why Cyrus is to blame for it, Samit attending Presidency College in Calcutta, getting into IIM and what made him leave after a month, how he found confidence as a writer, going on to write and co-direct the movie 'House Arrest', and tons more!
