Loved this episode!

As a Data Visualization faculty, practitioner, and enthusiast, I have an inherent love for maps. I thoroughly loved the episode. Thanks to Amit Varma and Ajay Shah for the insightful discussions. I suggest my students to watch this and other episodes.

For over two decades, I've referred to Alice Munro as my favorite living writer. Heartbroken that she's gone.

Here's my favourite short story of hers: newyorker.com/magazine/2013/…

It was the most unusual 5 hours I have spent.

Amit knows how to make people talk! And so I did, taking me to memories and places I had long forgotten.

Great listen. Especially the detailed insights from talking to people.

Was pleasantly surprised to hear that Sowmya Dhanaraj is a fellow inmate from BITS Goa. Didn't figure till she mentioned Suresh Ramaswamy.

That library was a gem!

Fingers furiously crossed. This is a big, big deal!

Beautiful, illuminating episode. Gives so much to unpack and think about.

Brilliant episode!!

And now a fourth. The state is still absent.
