Let’s spare a thought for Harry’s classmates. Man those kids went through a LOT. All because there was this one lanky specky boy who was always up to something. The more we thought about this, the more we couldn’t help ourselves. ALL of us know that one kid who ruins everything and for the kids in Harry’s batch - it was HIM. Akanksha and Soumya talk about all things cursed and strangely enough, probability makes an appearance.

So how did it lose its charm? Did we grow up or did we get worse? Jump down this rabbit hole with Soumya and Ramanujan to figure it all out.

For eons the only to career option presented to Indian kids was Doctor ya Engineer. No scope to be anything else. As a country we pour resources into Engineering colleges and proudly co-opt all the Indian origin engineers that make it to the top rungs of Microsoft and Google. For a country so Engineering obsessed, do we really put it the effort to teach it well? Do our colleges create an environment of innovation? Do we inspire greatness or are we aiming for mediocrity. Follow Ramanujan as he takes us all into the world he experienced. 

This is subject that a lot of you will care about and resonate with. So let us know what you think in the comments.

Govinda is synonymous with one thing – Good Times! When you watched a Govinda movie it was never about the plot or performance. It was always about Govinda. As we laughed along with his hilarious antics on screen, one thing was certain, he may not be eye candy but he was freaking entertaining. And isn’t that what Bollywood is all about?

But what made him so awesome? Would you watch a Govinda movie today? It’s time to jump into the world of Govinda with Ramanujan and Soumya. Let the bizarro magic of Govinda take control.

We see rich art but not every artist is as rich as Kanye West, right?
