An interactive video-based presentation on the story of life: from the Big Bang to the modern times, demystifying dozens of profound life puzzles.
This workshop will provide answers to questions that always intrigued you but you were embarrassed to ask. More, it will weave in a beautiful and convincing totality the myriad pieces of information you had but did not connect. It will also lead you to make informed judgments about birth, death, religions, isms…politics and economics – and their interplay.
Both parts are based on internationally acclaimed films. The languages for interaction will be English and Hindi.
You are welcome if life intrigues you, if nature deeply inspires you – and you are passionately keen to learn the scientific perspective about life – in a highly entertaining way.
