  • Ep 001 - Disco Dancer in Russia; Quantum Computing & Danish Dramas
    Russia is engaged in a war as we speak. India’s position on the situation has, at best, been equivocal. But no, that’s not what Seetal Iyer and Rakesh Sharma are interested in, not on this podcast at least. On the first episode of Pod Pourri, Seetal and Rakesh discuss the cultural exchanges between the two countries – which have been unequivocally significant. Roerich and Raj Kapoor, Kalidasa and Kalinka, Stalin and Sangam, Awaara and Disco Dancer… all feature in good measure. And true to its name, Pod Pourri also features their thoughts on quantum computing, entanglement, the Nobel Prize, pets on Akasa flights, Meta sacking people, moonlighting and quiet quitting, Borgen and The Good Fight and why you should watch them.

    Well. There’s something for everyone. And that everyone should be you. Stat.
