Confessions of a Child Who Believed TV Was Real Life

from Floating in the Forties - Reflections on life and beyond · host Suruchi

As a child, I had one serious concern — how was Amitabhji surviving inside my TV, especially during power cuts?Years later, I’m in my forties, casually talking to AI like it’s the most normal thing in the world.This episode is a humorous, slightly embarrassing, and deeply relatable reflection on how our understanding of “reality” evolves… but our sense of wonder doesn’t.From TV screens to AI conversations — maybe we didn’t become more logical… just more used to magic.And somewhere in between, I’m still that curious child… just floating in the forties.
