Reading is often looked at as a solitary exercise. How do you let someone in on the fictional world that exists in your head - a place you have made your self home at, at your own accord? But what if there more people that think like you, more worlds that exist and you'd get a chance to see how similar settings chart out anew in different heads? In times where (virtual) book clubs are making a comeback, how do existing literary communities catch up with the ever-evolving world of literature? In this episode of Lit Nama, Laxmi is in conversation with Pravin Subramanian, Founder of SwapBook! tracing how literary communities are formed and sustained over the years in different capacities.

Chapter. 24: Ikigai with Molabocha 53:28

Ikigai roughly translates to a reason for being. It is commonly understood to lie exactly where these four facets intersect: what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, what can you be paid for. When Harshit set out to explore and find his Ikigai, what was his journey like? He took a plunge into his passion at a significant peak of his career but how did he calculate this leap of faith? In this conversation, Laxmi and Harshit look at art and the independent artist's life and what does this independence mean, what comes after the leap of faith and how does an artist sustain their passion in a world that is still grappling to understand their significance. Can you absolutely achieve Ikigai or is Ikigai nothing but an act that makes you work harder to arrive there? Tune in to find out!
