435. To Be a Millennial

from BIC TALKS

The world changes, life is hard. That's not news. But are millennials uniquely misunderstood, or simply the first generation to document their own confusion so thoroughly? Deepika Arwind, author of Good Arguments, and AM Gautam, author of Indian Millennials, write from opposite ends of the same experience. One through fiction, the other through reportage. Both millennial. Both wrestling with power dynamics, divided loyalties, and what courage looks like when you have one foot in the old world and one inching towards the future. This conversation, moderated by Arundhati Sridhar, is not about generational angst. It is about the structures we inherit and the space we carve out anyway. Readings. Insights. The occasional uncomfortable truth. In this episode of BIC Talks, Deepika Arwind and A.M Gautam will be in conversation with Arundhati Sridhar. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in March 2026. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favourite podcast app!

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.

I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
