Being in 20's is all about the pressures of getting a proper education, getting a proper job and perhaps, maybe even, stumble across love. But is that all there is to life? Doesn't that make life too shallow and maybe even materialistic? What about suffering? What about the perpetual evil hidden amongst us? What is a good life? Perhaps, why is there any life? Such are the questions that philosophers have raised over centuries. And on this episode 'OF QUACKS AND QUIRKS!', we bring you a small piece of philosophy to deal with. Hope you like the taste of it.

When it comes to cricket, we Indians tend to attach a whole range of emotions and opinions to it and thus elevate it to a much higher platform. Our guest for the day is Vikramaditya Gautam, who's not only a cricket fan but also is a great admirer of the game. It has always been exciting to hear him talk about different phases in Indian cricket and the players who made it where it stands today. This conversation would remind you of the times when the air gets filled with the "Oohh" & "Ahhhs" of cricket fans with each stroke of the batsman. If you're a cricket admirer or wish to gain some knowledge about the same, this episode is surely for you!

Are you a cinephile? Do you wish to know about the distinct relation between cinema and society? If yes, take a halt and listen to the very first episode OF QUACKS AND QUIRKS! Our guest for the day is Dhruvaj Suryavanshi, who not only watches a movie but tries to appreciate it critically. In this episode, we explore how the 'reel-life' takes inspiration and at the same time influences the 'real-life'. The conversation goes back and forth from the period of Satyajit Ray and the emergence of parallel cinema in Bollywood to modern-day western movies. So buckle up and dive right into the conversation.
