Ep. 540: feat. Ashwin Sanghi

This week, Cyrus is joined by bestselling author Ashwin Sanghi. They talk about sharing some DNA from their origins, Ashwin's new book 'The Vault of Vishnu', his trips to China, how the themes in his book can be seen as parallel to the current India-China situation, a historical figure named Bodhidharma and his legend, the birth of Buddhism in China, going to an Amitabh Bachchan temple, and tons more fascinating tidbits from history, all of which Ashwin was more than excited to talk about. They also talk about the appearance of a 'Ashwin Sanghee' on a recent episode of 'The Week That Wasn't', Ashwin and Cyrus both attending Cathedral school, and then St. Xavier's college after that, how Ashwin's grandfather and mother helped him develop a love for storytelling, books and writing, and lots more on this episode.
