Have you been told to move on, look at the positives, be happy when you’re at a low phase in your life? What if experiencing that particular emotion is what will help you evolve as an individual? In part two of Varun’s conversation with Prakhar, they delve a little deeper into a topic they both enjoy – psychology. They tackle topics like their learnings from literature, their experiences with new cultures, and the follies of self-diagnosing their emotional state on Google. Prakhar also talks about the power of music to invoke emotional memories. Prakhar is a social commentator and a cultural critic. He’s been a popular public figure in the public speaking and personal development domain for over 5 years. He hosts the PG Radio podcast and Prakhar ke Pravachan YouTube Channel – both have seen tremendous success. He co-founded Colloquia, a prominent Debate and Discourse club at Columbia University. In less than a year, Prakhar rose to become one of India's most popular public speakers. He has given 8+ keynotes at some of India's top institutions, including IITs and a TEDx talk.
