"Chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai, phool khila hai"  

"Jiya jale, jaan jale, naino-tale dhuaan chale"

Here are two men discussing in this conversation the casual sexism that lingers around, and what women must be experiencing. At one level, this discussion is important and on another level can we as men, even experience a fraction of what the women are experiencing? We're not sure how sensitive we're to the subject or if we doing justice to the topic. But it is high time that we have an internal conversation about our own actions and assumptions. This conversation is perhaps to instigate that.

Now that we're in June, most 18-year-olds are being told what next they should be choosing. And, in those, most will be given only two choices engineering or medicine! This was a pattern in the 90's, and even in 2022 it seems to be so. Does that even seem logical? This conversation is about looking at this template of education.

Schooling, as a conventional form of education, is templated. But, is it also losing its relevance? What does it mean to be educated and what are the shortfalls is something that we attempt to discuss in this conversation.

If one is not self-sufficient with love, emotion, generosity, or kindness then it becomes very difficult for one to even empathize with their own self. And, in this competitive world, we're experts in creating unwanted, unwarranted pressures on ourselves. It is, therefore, necessary (and vital) to realise that it is okay to slow down a bit and to allow ourselves to be in the situation that we are in. Today's conversation on self-compassion is about finding for ourselves what it means and its relevance in the present context.

What is it with ruthless compassion? We see it and celebrate it when we hear instances of such examples... then be it stories of Steve Jobs, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, Le Corbusier or Mahatma Gandhi...we have seen them being ruthless (and at times almost heartless) with their pupils. Is the seemingly paradoxical phrase the basis for something genius? Or is it downright cruel? Let's look at that in this week's conversation.

I realise that I cannot but sit idle,

I always am in need of action,

It is my naivety and ignorance though until now

That I didn't realise

Even in my inaction, there is action

In this conversation, the intention is not about creating a distinction between art & craft, but rather focusing on how the two play a vital role in shaping us as individuals.
