This week's chronicle is Dia Rekhi. The episode opens with a poem by Dia on the tropes and culture of Bollywood. We chat about our favourite films and how we miss movies from the 90's even if they didn't age very well. We also chat about the ongoing craze for Hindi serials and where television could really improve. Dia and I also chat about how OTT platforms and shows have really changed the landscape for viewers and chat about maybe writing our own shows some day. Dia plans to write a crime thriller book and a web show! Dia also talks about what she's looking forward to and shares a lesson she's learned, which changed her view on life and opportunities. P.S. - We have some great recommendations for movies and web shows on this episode! Tune into Part 1 of this conversation to listen to Dia's journey on being a journalist.
