- Who: Janani
- What: “Weddings are about sharing too!”
- Tangy: Weddings in India are a serious business. It is a social event which is not just about two people but also about two families coming together forever.

- Who: Purba Ray
- What: “Learning and Unlearning to be a Mom”

Purba talks about her experiences as a mother to a daughter where she learns and unlearns to balance the heart out.
