Welcome to Season 6 with me Shivraj Parshad. As a Coach, Mentor and Media educator, this becomes a powerful medium for me to speak to you about events, ideas and people who left a profound impact on me and therefore can make a world of difference to you. I was recently asked to re-examine my 50 years of life on earth, as a perfectly written novel. What I discovered was mind blowing. With each passing phase of my life, certain gifts in terms of knowledge and strengths made me learn a lot more about myself, which I feel compelled to pass on. Over the next few episodes, I will be either talking to you about or interviewing folks whose insights and collective wisdom will definitely give you more to learn as you listen along. And if for some reason you need that safe and trusted space to fully explore and unlock your own potential. I’m always here for you. Just write to me on Shivraj@brevis.in or search for me across social media to block my time to just talk. Since learning is also about listening, I would love to hear from you.

Our next guest on the Weekend Playlist, Saurabh Kirpal is a noted senior advocate who has now been recommended for a judgeship. If approved by the government he will be India's first openly Gay judge. Saurabh is one of the lawyers who argued against Section 377 and also the editor of an anthology of essays, Sex and The Supreme Court.In this conversation, Saurabh tells us why he felt this book is so critical for our understanding of issues of gender identity, sexual choice and the dignity of every Indian.It is written in the backdrop of recent critical judgments like the reading down of 377, decriminalizing adultery, lifting the bar on entry of women of menstruating age to the the Sabarimala temple in Kerala, the verdict confirmed transgender rights, the triple talaq decision and the MeToo movement that put the spotlight on the 1997 Vishakha judgment, protecting women against workplace harassment.But what stands out is Saurabh's choice of essays by legal luminaries, lawyers and everyday people, with their own personal narratives. This is because, he tells us, his purpose is to drive home the impact of these judgments for everyone, devoid of the noise and debate of the media and political interests. This is a no holes barred conversation, where Saurabh does not shy away from saying, he is disappointed for still not being confirmed as a High Court judge, the need to push for same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws.The one message he has for us: We must learn to stand up and fight, put ourselves in the other person's shoes and work towards an India that is just, equal and leaves no one behind.Listen to the Weekend Playlist in your time and at your pace and do let us know what you think of the conversation.

Hear this trailer of our conversation with Saurabh Kirpal on his anthology of essays; Sex and The Supreme Court. Saurabh tells us how the book closely examines issues of gender and personal agency. In one essay, what is shocking, is the insight that 160 year old Victorian laws which viewed women as chattel or property still govern the Indian Penal Code today. So while a judgment overturned criminalisation of adultery, criminalising marital rape remains out of reach.You can hear the full episode this Sunday, October 25 .
