🎙️ Full Episode Drop: BVS Prathap | MMLP
Mic-drop moment (literally).
I rushed in with the next question, thinking we were done — only to have BVS pause and remind me, “Aren’t we missing something?”
Caught red-handed on air. I laughed, recovered, and said, “Let’s keep it live and raw — this is gold!” 😄
And gold it was.

This conversation with BVS Prathap is a delightful blend of humour, heritage, and hard truths. Here’s a taste:

🍲 Entire Tamil Nadu runs on sambar — and pav bhaji wasn’t even a thing a few decades ago.
🎻 The violin? Not Indian originally.
👗 Salwar kameez? Didn’t exist before the 13th century.
🧍‍♂️Formal wear in India? Western suits. Even on “Diversity Day,” we mimic what we meant to celebrate.

What does this tell us?
Traditions evolve. Cultures blend. But blind mimicry isn’t progress.
We must ask — are we adopting with awareness or imitating without insight?

From Tilak’s Ganesh Chaturthi movement to today’s AI-driven world, BVS reminds us:
🔁 Evolution is constant, but so should be consciousness.
🍟 French fries and Pepsi are great, but is our gut (and soul) aligned with what we consume — literally and culturally?

This is not just a conversation.
It’s a reality check — wrapped in humour, storytelling, and one very honest mic.
