EP:17 Taxing Transition to College:How does DU change you? (ft. Krati Sahu)

You are, will be or was once anxious about making the transition from school to college at some point in time. There are numerous questions bothering a student who has to embark on his college journey like-What if you do not make it to your dream college? What if you cannot befriend a lot of people? What if you don't fit in and experience a cultural shock? How to deal with peer pressure? How to deal with deteriorating academics? Is college politics worth it? What about the societies that DU is known for? How to find a home away from home? What kind of people should one beware of in college and whom to look out for? AND How does DU change you! To answer all these queries, I have collaborated with Krati Sahu, a DUite who is known for helping thousands of students through her videos and is more than eligible to answer them all...

EP:16 Sex Education-Need of the Hour (ft.Dr. Arvindh Santhosh)

Remember when you were taught the chapter on reproduction in school? Perhaps the question should be- were you even taught the chapter? Why does India lack in imparting sex education? Or why is it such a taboo? Does sexual illiteracy translate into sex crimes? Do you owe your sex education to your home, school or elsewhere? Does banning porn make sense, if no can it be a source of sex education? I am joined by an expert, Dr. Arvindh Santhosh, a gynaecologist and also a podcaster in my hunt for answers to these and other questions, tag along!
