In the last episode of season 4 of the True Fiction Project, I am honored to welcome the amazing Anand Thakore. I've known Anand since we were in school together, and it has been incredible to see his journey and learn of his success as an Anglophone Poet and Hindustani Classical Musician. During this episode we reminisce on some of our school experiences and share stories. Then we dive in to learn what Anand is up to now, while he shares his latest projects. We hear an excerpt of music and a poem from Deepankar Khiwani, titled Cathedral. Anand shares his experience working with Deepankar and how their work together inspired him to start writing poetry again. The episode goes on to include three original pieces by Anand Thakore titled Sea Link, My Place and Mughal Sequence. Tune in for this entertaining episode! IN THIS EPISODE: [2:28] Anand shares about his journey with Sanskrit. [4:03] What was Anand's journey with music and poetry? [9:49] What is the style of contemporary Indian writing? [10:50] Anand shares his story about the creation of the Mughal Sequence. [13:50] What is the backstory behind some of his latest pieces? [16:30] How do poets utilize characters in their poetry? [18:42] Anand talks about the work he's done with Deepankar Khivani. [21:23] Anand shares the song and poem Cathedral by Deepankar Khivani. [22:51] We hear the poem Sea Link, by Anand Thakore. [25:09] We hear the poem My Place, by Anand Thakore [26:24] Why was Anand feeling like a sock puppet? [29:01] Anand shares more about the poem Mughal Sequence and then we hear an excerpt from it. KEY TAKEAWAYS: [12:51] Anand wants the American audience to understand that they are a trans culture, multicultural, multilingual people. Their themes are Indian, their language is English, their music can be Indian, they can also experience Western music in great depth. [14:49] Anand feels that poetry really has to embrace the moment and be very short and brief and make its statement in a short space. [16:32] Sometimes poets reveal themselves when they are pretending to be someone else.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ushered in a profound transformation across industries, fundamentally altering competition dynamics. However, alongside its immense potential, AI presents intricate regulatory challenges, particularly in the realm of competition. As AI systems advance, concerns about market dominance, consumer welfare, and fair competition have sparked global regulatory scrutiny. A primary issue is the consolidation of power among tech giants leveraging AI. These companies enjoy substantial advantages in data access, processing capabilities, and algorithmic insights, enabling them to dominate markets and potentially stifle competition through tactics like predatory pricing and exclusionary practices. Various jurisdictions have taken divergent approaches to tackle these challenges. In the EU, regulators have been proactive in overseeing AI-driven markets, with initiatives like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) aimed at fostering competition, preventing market abuse, and safeguarding consumer rights. Similarly, US authorities have intensified scrutiny on tech giants wielding AI, launching investigations into potential anti-competitive behavior and pursuing antitrust enforcement actions. Conversely, some Asian jurisdictions, notably China, have embraced a more lenient regulatory stance, prioritizing innovation and economic growth over competition concerns. While this approach has facilitated AI development, it has also raised apprehensions about transparency, accountability, and fair competition, prompting calls for heightened regulatory oversight. The regulatory landscape surrounding AI and competition is complex and evolving, shaped by diverse legal frameworks, market dynamics, and geopolitical factors. While some jurisdictions prioritize stringent antitrust enforcement and consumer protection, others emphasize innovation and market liberalization. In the context of India, the approach to AI regulation within the competition framework warrants examination. Has there been a concerted effort to align with regulatory practices observed in developed nations? Should India focus on curbing anti-competitive behavior in the AI sector or adopt a more permissive approach, prioritizing innovation and economic growth? Does the recent draft digital Competition Bill proposed by the Committee on Digital Competition Law (CDCL) cover regulation of AI? These questions underscore the paramount challenge for policymakers worldwide: striking a delicate balance between fostering innovation and preserving competition as AI continues to permeate various sectors of the economy.

In the episode “It's Hip to Be a Cube: Maggie Bouillon Unwrapped,” Gravy producers Katie Jane Fernelius and Ishan Thakore take a deeper look at a humble but ubiquitous pantry staple—the bouillon cube. As many home cooks know, these dehydrated cubes of salty, umami flavor dissolve in water to create a makeshift broth. But the result is much more than soup. For immigrants to the American South, for example, bouillon cubes carry powerful sentiments of nostalgia and home. Approximately 120 million Maggi bouillon cubes are sold each day. It's a testament to the reach and ubiquity of the Nestle brand, arguably the most notable brand of bouillon cubes—just as many people call a tissue a Kleenex, so do many people call bouillon cubes Maggi. In fact, if you were to go to an international supermarket, you'd find dozens and dozens of varieties of Maggi. Some would be sold in packages labeled in Arabic, others in French or English… each with its own flavor profile specific to regional cuisines: Djon Djon. Golden Beef. Poulet. Tomato. Ginger and Garlic. Naija Pot. Maggi's diversity of flavor profiles speak to just how readily the little cube has been adopted into so many kitchens around the world. And it's not uncommon for cooks to say it's the secret ingredient to their favorite local dish. So, how did Maggi manage to become both a global juggernaut and hometown hero? In this episode, Fernelius and Thakore trace Maggi's path from Swiss laboratories in the late nineteenth century, to Cubism, to postcolonial countries across the Global South, to a beloved Nigerian restaurant just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. They speak to Toyin Adesayo, chef and owner of Toyin Takeout in Marietta, Georgia; Nadia Berenstein, an award-winning food writer and scholar of flavor; and Nigerian chef, writer, and activist Tunde Wey. Through these conversations, they learn why the little bouillon cube has become so special to so many. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode features an interview with Parag Thakore, Senior Vice President of Borderless WAN at Netskope. Prior to Netskope, Parag was the CEO and co-founder of Infiot, which was acquired by Netskope in May 2022, and served as the Vice President of Products and founding member of Velocloud Networks. In this episode, Mike sits down with Parag to discuss the convergence of networking and security teams, how SD-WAN helps the hybrid workforce, and simplifying the end user journey.-----------------“I would say, encourage security buyers and security people to also start thinking about performance characteristics and optimization, and whether that infrastructure can deliver that for them or not. And they don't need to be experts. It's a very simple question in terms of, ‘Can I get this high performance connectivity from this cloud security that I'm purchasing or that security vendor that I'm looking for?' I think ease of operations and that high performance connectivity is something that security should also look at as a criteria when they look at security platforms.” – Parag Thakore-----------------Episode Timestamps:*(02:12): Parag's background*(07:18): Parag's take on security as a team sport*(12:48): The convergence of networking and security teams*(24:02): How SD-WAN helps the hybrid workforce*(27:01): The consolidation opportunity SD-WAN provides*(29:58): Creating better digital citizens through SD-WAN and converged principles*(31:54): 2030 Goggles*(35:23): Quick Hits*(38:54): Mike's takeaways-----------------Links:Connect with Parag Thakore on LinkedInConnect with Mike Anderson LinkedInwww.netskope.com

In our accidental two-part series, we explore a little discussed topic in verbal behavior. The concept of learning channels and the role of stimulus equivalence training. A learning channel is essentially the classification of a prompt or task based on the types of sensory modalities that it encompasses. For example, holding up a laminated card and saying, “What is this?” would be an example of a HearSeeSay learning channel. However, there may be evidence to support that the addition of different sensory modalities within a learning channel can increase the acquisition speed of an intraverbal target. These authors attempt to demonstrate this by comparing acquisition speeds of traditional learning channels and learning channels with additional sensory modalities. In a slightly complicated article, the authors dovetail the discussion into a very practical takeaway and makes suggestions for the teaching of intraverbals for kids or adults who have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Thakore, A., Stockwell, A., & Eshleman, J. (2021). Learning channels: The role of compound stimuli in the emergence of intraverbal relations in children on the autism spectrum.

She initially trained in Kuchipudi for 14 years under Padmasri Shoba Naidu and Padmabhushan Vempati Chinna Satyam. Her quest to explore deeper potentialities in dance led her to train with Padmabhushan Swapnasundari for some time. Quite recently, she discovered that she is part of the Kalavantulu community of hereditary women dancers who performed in the temples, courts, and salons in and around the Godaveri Delta in Andhra Pradesh. She then began learning directly from the families themselves in this region. Dr. Thakore has successfully bridged her love for dance practice with academic research by first pursuing a Masters in Dance and then a PhD in Yoga and Dance. In 2013, Dr. Thakore, in association with Dr. Pappu Venugopala Rao, published a critically-acclaimed English translation of the 13th-century text, Nritta Ratnavalli. Other publications include Kaivalya - Joy in Yoga & Dance. In 2017, she was conferred the Ugadi Puraskar by the Government of Andhra Pradesh for her incredible devotion and contribution to art.

In this episode, Neil Thakore and I discuss what can be done to reduce the political divide and bring people together? Other questions we discussed included: Should we stop placing people in one of two buckets by labelling them as either left-wing and right-wing, liberal or conservative, democrat or republican? Why can’t we remove the party names? Why do you have to run as a democrat or republican? If we have to keep the parties, do you think adding a 3rd party in the U.S. would help reduce polarization? Do you think the divide is growing or shrinking? How can we tell if it’s actually growing or shrinking? What data can we use to determine this? What do you think about countries like Russia purposely trying to create a divide by spreading polarizing news? Do you consider yourself left-wing or right-wing? Is it a cop-out if someone says they don’t identify as either? Should I engage in conversation with people I disagree with or block them out? What do you think about political attack ads? Should they be banned? What does Trump getting elected say about the state of the political divide? What issues do you think are most polarizing? Which are the least polarizing?

Welcome to the Helloo Sunshine! podcast, where I talk to people about their personal stories, of becoming who they are. In this episode, I talk with Abhishek Thakore, co-founder of the Blue Ribbon Movement, and a conscious and inspiring soul. Abhishek has a nuanced understanding of his own story. He is keenly aware of the head start he got as a young kid and the privilege and impact of that. He shares his journey of coming out of darkness after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the patience as well as empathy for others’ struggles that it allowed him to develop. And finally, he talks about what moves him today – his sights on the larger narrative beyond his own, his connection with the universe, and the desire to play his role in it by cultivating thousands of stars rather than being the sole sun. [00:39] Wanting and enjoying attention and achievement as a child [11:47] The privilege of the head-start; the arrogance of ‘I’m special’ [21:32] Achiever identity continues to consolidate despite some taste of failure [29:25] The darkness of a mental health crash; learning patience and getting support [41:58] Expanding to accommodate complexity; from exploring meaning to embracing mystery and connectedness [53:15] The struggle of being yourself: Learning to negotiate with the million mes and showing up in the present moment without judgment [01:03:01] Looking forward: Allowing for a night sky with many stars rather than being the sun; lazy leadership Follow Abhishek at: https://www.facebook.com/abhishekthakore Follow Megha at: www.instagram.com/thesunshinescalling/ Visit Megha's blog at: www.helloosunshine.com The video version of this interview can be found on the Helloo Sunshine!

“Theatre is about energy. It’s about the audience being curious and generous to the actors… that’s how the magical moments happen.” In episode #74 of Storytalking with Lakshya, I sat down with Quasar Thakore Padamsee, aka 'Q' - renowned theatre director and producer, co-founder of QTP (a theatre and arts production company), and curator of TATA Literature Live. I ask Q about how he got into theatre, what led him to co-create QTP and Thespo (a youth theatre collective run by people under 25, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary), how he chooses the stories he wants to tell, what makes theatre the most authentic medium for a storyteller to use to communicate with their audience, and how the art form is being reconceptualized, and recontextualized, by the playwrights of today.
How does the portrayal of a character like Apu matter? What does the representation of South Asian TV characters tell us about society at large? In her new book, South Asians on the U.S. Screen: Just Like Everyone Else? (Lexington Books, 2018), Bhoomi Thakore uses interviews and audience studies to explore these questions and more. By having participants list South Asian characters they’ve seen on TV, she learns a lot about representation in addition to the positive and negative characteristics attributed to these characters. Often times South Asians are relegated to minor characters in shows and Thakore explores how The Mindy Project breaks out of this mold. Exploring ideas and concepts including “forever foreigners,” assimilation, and acculturation, Thakore analyzes this media sociologically. The book also sheds light on the portrayal of South Asian female characters specifically, as well as how some shows emphasize the “every-day”-ness of some South Asian characters versus those portrayed as tokens. Overall, this work highlights important aspects that viewers of these shows may miss in passing. Thakore concludes by giving readers insights from the analysis at hand, but also provides larger insights in terms of racial relations and media portrayals in general. This book is interesting and accessible to a wide audience. Folks interested in general sociology, race/ethnicity, or media studies will find the book enjoyable. This book would be useful for an upper level sociology of race/ethnicity course as well as graduate level courses, especially those that focus on race/ethnicity or media studies. Sarah E.
