Baithak: Episode One | Online Semester: Tragedy or Comedy? | Apurv Tiwari, IIT Bombay

Namaste!
Inviting you all to sit in the very first episode of Baithak with us! That being "Online Semester: Tragedy or Comedy?"
Our idea was to conduct the first discussion on a topic that almost the whole student community is suffering from i.e the Online Semester.

We had with us Apurv Tiwari, an alum from our own institute as our first guest. He's been in the institute since 2015 and is known for his kind and ever helping nature. We talked about the online semester, mental health, and the institute culture.

shayad lingo leke thoda aur inclusive kar sakte ho. audience base sirf IIT Bombay hai toh lingo unko chamkega. other than that IITB lingo shayad bahar ke log na samajh paye. Great podcast guys :)
