    Say whatever about him,he’s in his 40’s looking like late 20’s. Just amazing!
  • @athena7071
    This man is always dropping such eloquent truth-bombs... Surprised that quote-memes attributed to him have not been floating around on the internet yet. What a guy!😇
  • @allaboutmeher
    Getting an insight of Vir's mind is great! He just changes the entire perspective of someone's bent of mind. So much to learn from him!
  • @renuchhawal9875
    Blessings to your team and the amazing guest for sharing this oft unaddressed issues prevalent in this existence in contemporary times. Also the intense sense of loneliness that Vir had shared has layers to it . I believe boarding school deeply fills a child’s tender heart with sense of being all alone and that further intensify when one is a prominent active trophy winner for the institute. Such children are separated and focused on more as Vir puts it .. they ‘ juice you ‘ more . Also the sense of belonging to nowhere and everywhere, the desperation to blend in further gives way to lot of other unhealthy coping mechanisms. All coming from personal experience , so relatable. ThankYou for this beautiful conversation. ✨

    Had been dealing with this feeling for quite some time and struggling to put it into words. When you said it, it just clicked and immediately made sense... intellectual loneliness. Thank you for such a beautiful, soul enriching conversation Ira. ❤ Sidenote, love Vir's jacket! ❤

  • @jmalvika
    recommendation to ira - when vir das or any guest gives a long answer, acknowledge it or play off it instead of diving straight into you next question. Respect and empathy for the guest!
