00:00:00In this generation, in our generation, we are in politics.
00:00:03We are doing sacrifices.
00:00:05Sometimes, in my case, I didn't want to sacrifice,
00:00:09but I was forced to give up certain things to walk on the path.
00:00:14In case you are not an influencer or content creator,
00:00:17you are doing a type of content creator.
00:00:19In a national perspective, patriotism is to conserve conservation,
00:00:26nature conservation.
00:00:28But somehow, we missed preparing the next generational leadership.
00:00:35I am not just doing it for the benefit of my party.
00:00:37I want the young leadership to grow for the benefit of the nation.
00:00:41That's what I believe in. That's what I am preparing.
00:00:44I am doing my big part for Gen Z.
00:00:46Out of my NSA, I never heard this one, but I am feeling that I am done.
00:00:52I didn't know what I was in 2019, I lost my election.
00:00:55In fact, I was more in my, you know, I don't know what the hell I should do.
00:00:59And he is seeking answers or strength from a guy who has failed in elections.
00:01:05Actor Vijay has entered into politics.
00:01:07So do you have any advice to him?
00:01:08Normally, I don't give advice.
00:01:10I don't give advice to anyone because they are.
00:01:17Don't follow any leader whom you don't believe in. That's all.
00:01:21I don't give advice to anyone.
00:01:22As Gen Z's, we've always been hearing people say, you don't get it.
00:01:27You are privileged.
00:01:28You have all the information in the world.
00:01:30For you to say that, no, you guys are very well connected.
00:01:33I'm sure it must have resonated with all of us.
00:01:35So, since we know that you are connecting so much to Gen Z's,
00:01:39I thought we could ask you some questions.
00:01:41We have our own language.
00:01:42We have our own words.
00:01:44So, I'm not going to quiz you.
00:01:46But I'm going to, I mean, tell Sinh anta,
00:01:48I will, we will teach you some words that we represent.
00:01:51I'll be as honest as possible.
00:01:53If I don't know something, I'll say I don't know.
00:01:54Yeah.
00:01:55Sure.
00:01:56Starting off, what do you think is sus?
00:02:02Sus.
00:02:03I don't know.
00:02:04My daughter keeps using sus means I don't know.
00:02:06Is it suspect something?
00:02:07I don't know.
00:02:07Yes.
00:02:08So, when somebody is behaving suspiciously.
00:02:13So, you don't just look Gen Z, but you also know Gen Z.
00:02:16So, brownie points.
00:02:18I'm forced to know them.
00:02:19Some brownie points for you from us.
00:02:21So, what do you think is cooked?
00:02:22Hmm?
00:02:23Cooked.
00:02:24C-O-O-K-E-D.
00:02:25Cooked means maybe out of my understanding.
00:02:28I've never heard this one, but I'm feeling that I'm done.
00:02:32Yeah, you're right.
00:02:33Yeah.
00:02:37I'm finished.
00:02:38I'm done, man.
00:02:38So, when you try sneaking out and somebody catches you, you're cooked.
00:02:41Cooked, yeah.
00:02:42I'm cooked, yeah.
00:02:43What do you think is Delulu?
00:02:45Hmm?
00:02:45Delulu.
00:02:46D-E-L-U-L-U.
00:02:48Delulu.
00:02:49Delulu.
00:02:50D-E-L-U-L-U.
00:02:51Is it something related to delusionary or something like that?
00:02:54Oh, my God.
00:02:58Wow.
00:02:59All right.
00:02:59I'll just make it a little harder for you, sir.
00:03:01I'm sorry.
00:03:02Very recently, few days back, I think I heard this word.
00:03:05It's not something I'm aware of, I mean, aware of, you know?
00:03:08So, one of my writer was speaking to me.
00:03:10He was saying some… he was conceiving a scene.
00:03:13He was saying Delulu.
00:03:13I said, what is it?
00:03:14This is what my kids told me.
00:03:16Delulu.
00:03:16Something they're saying.
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:17Delulu is not the Solulu.
00:03:19Solulu, yeah.
00:03:20Yeah.
00:03:20Delusion is not the solution.
00:03:21Yeah.
00:03:24Delusion is not the solution.
00:03:32Touchgrass is something we believe a lot of politicians hope to come and do with us.
00:03:37Touchgrass is basically when you go back outside and reconnect.
00:03:42So, let's say if somebody's speaking about a topic and there's no relevance to it.
00:03:47So, we say, you know, you need to go touchgrass.
00:03:49What you're talking doesn't make sense.
00:03:51Oh, that's called touchgrass?
00:03:52Yeah, that's called touchgrass.
00:03:53I hope I don't touchgrass, I think.
00:03:55Yeah.
00:03:56This…
00:03:57The way you're doing a town hall, you are definitely touching grass with us, sir.
00:04:00Okay.
00:04:00W…
00:04:01Last one.
00:04:03Saving it for the best.
00:04:05Main character energy.
00:04:07Main characterology.
00:04:09Main character energy.
00:04:11Main character energy.
00:04:12Main character energy.
00:04:13I know…
00:04:14I have no idea.
00:04:15I mean…
00:04:15It's sad that you don't know because you keep executing…
00:04:18You know, you keep giving out that energy.
00:04:20Main character energy is somebody who…
00:04:21Once they enter the room, that's it.
00:04:24All eyes on them.
00:04:25Oh.
00:04:27So, don't you think he has the aura, the W, the main character energy?
00:04:33All right, sir.
00:04:34Thank you so much.
00:04:35I think you got four out of five.
00:04:37We are very happy…
00:04:38No, three out of five.
00:04:39So, we're very happy that you know how we speak as well.
00:04:42So, I can tell at home that I've been passed.
00:04:45Sir.
00:04:46I've been…
00:04:47I have passed the exam.
00:04:48Gen Z exam.
00:04:48Yes, yes.
00:04:49Gen Z exam.
00:04:51With a seventy percent, I can say.
00:04:55All right.
00:04:55Six, seven…
00:04:56Doesn't apply in this context, but yeah.
00:04:59Thank you, sir.
00:05:00We'll move to the next question.
00:05:00Hi, sir.
00:05:02Who's asking?
00:05:03Yeah.
00:05:04Mr.
00:05:04Hi, sir.
00:05:04My name is Jagadish.
00:05:06I'm from Yjeggen.
00:05:07So, I'm a kid that's not a good friend.
00:05:12I'm not a kid.
00:05:13I'm a kid.
00:05:14I'm a kid.
00:05:18I'm a kid.
00:05:24So thank you so much sir. Sir, my question is that there are many influencers and creators. They are doing
00:05:35great content creators. So in case you are not an influencer or content creator, what type of content creators are
00:05:45you doing?
00:05:48If I become, if I am a content creator, I am a content creator. Yes sir.
00:05:59I feel, maybe two things.
00:06:08Any national perspective, patriotism to conserve conservation, nature conservation.
00:06:18Thank you sir.
00:06:20So, thank you so much.
00:06:23I think sir, you would be vlogging. You would be going around trying to save a species and vlogging with
00:06:29it.
00:06:30Vlogging.
00:06:32Good morning sir.
00:06:33Morning.
00:06:34Sir, I am deeply shaken to about my inner thoughts to speak from you sir.
00:06:42Sir, I am voice of more than 10,000 AP students sir.
00:06:45Mira?
00:06:46Yes sir.
00:06:48Sir, from 2023 we are not getting scholarships sir.
00:06:52I am BTEC second year student sir.
00:06:53I am studying in here Telangana MSET student.
00:06:58Till 2023 AP and Telangana has been, agreement has been there sir.
00:07:03After 23, the agreement has been collapsed.
00:07:06Sir, I want to ask you sir, we want scholarships sir.
00:07:11Can you make it very specific?
00:07:13Sir, I am BTEC second year student.
00:07:15You are receiving scholarship from the government, right?
00:07:17MSET, MSET scholarship we get sir.
00:07:19Okay.
00:07:20The people who are studying, I am AP sir.
00:07:24The people in AP, who are studying in AP, they get the scholarship.
00:07:28Who went out of state, they don't get this.
00:07:29Okay, people from Andhra Pradesh, if they come and study in Telangana, they are not getting the scholarship.
00:07:34Yes sir.
00:07:352023 work kunde sir, mana government henshna pundun chilei sir.
00:07:39To my knowledge, I think that pact is for only ten years, I think.
00:07:44Yes sir.
00:07:462023, 24 lani?
00:07:4814 to 24 lani?
00:07:49Yes sir.
00:07:5024 lani?
00:07:51A state, individual states, I don't have great knowledge about it, but hopefully I think this could be the reason,
00:07:59but I will find out.
00:08:00I will take it.
00:08:01I will take it.
00:08:02Thank you sir.
00:08:03Thank you so much.
00:08:04I will find out the reasons why it is not being done.
00:08:07I will check into it.
00:08:08Next question.
00:08:10Hi sir.
00:08:12Here.
00:08:13This is Bashit.
00:08:14I am an aspiring film director.
00:08:15Before asking your question, I just want to share you one thing.
00:08:18So, being a leader is a very respectful thing sir.
00:08:21So, he will get the respect from the people.
00:08:25So, in democracy, what do you think it is most important?
00:08:30I think leader is not necessarily to be with the position.
00:08:33I think it should be only because of his actions, I think.
00:08:36So, the position comes later.
00:08:40A man of decisiveness and defining mindset only, I think can ascend to that position.
00:08:51So, I think we decide them, we define them or by their actions first.
00:08:57If I am in your position, I look at their actions, not their position.
00:09:03Being in a mere position, maybe it is a constitutional, it is administrative, but I look at them,
00:09:09how much they could influence, how much they could…
00:09:13I think it is demonstrative.
00:09:16Sometimes demonstrative action is not necessarily to be in power.
00:09:19So, that is why position for me takes a second place.
00:09:23So, what do you think, like when I mentioned actions, what do you think that a political leader should have
00:09:30and what do you think that a political leader should not have?
00:09:34Like, so, there is a great saying that Chaguvira said that, sir.
00:09:37So, one political leader can change a generation.
00:09:44So, what do you think that leader should have and should not have?
00:09:48Don't follow any leader whom you don't believe in, that's all.
00:09:52For me…
00:09:55To what kind of person we would like, it depends purely on us.
00:09:59There are multiple choices.
00:10:02There are multiple mindsets, even in leaders.
00:10:07I think a leader is a product of the times, of that particular era.
00:10:14What kind of leaders we have emerged in 1940s and 1970s were different from the leaders who are emerging right
00:10:21now.
00:10:21Of course, always there are exceptions, both good and bad, apart from that.
00:10:26Like…
00:10:26I think it all depends on the collective will of that particular time in the society around that particular time
00:10:36zone, what happens.
00:10:38For me, when I was growing up, I never had great leaders to follow.
00:10:42So, always my mentors and my leaders were in 60s or 50s and 40s.
00:10:50So, that's why I think when you embrace a leader, you make sure, does he have the right values which
00:10:57I wanted to see?
00:10:58If you don't have it, don't be obliged to follow them.
00:11:02You can unfollow them.
00:11:05So, that's what I think I would do or I think that's the decision which I can give you.
00:11:11Sir, thank you.
00:11:13Sir.
00:11:13So, Meeru, Rajdeep sir, this interview on Kuntan, sir.
00:11:16Dantla kut chaptar.
00:11:18Who is your favorite leader and you said Jay Prakash Narayan.
00:11:21Yes.
00:11:21And Jay Prakash Narayan never held any position.
00:11:23So, Elanti position lo leeru.
00:11:25So, for his actions.
00:11:26Yeah, for both the questions, I think, I can say, look like Jay Prakash Narayan.
00:11:31Even while getting dialysis done, he was struggling, he was carrying the message forward.
00:11:37He was instrumental in Janata Parties bringing back into government, coming back, bringing them into government.
00:11:47Yeah.
00:11:47Good afternoon, sir.
00:11:48I am Dheeraj.
00:11:49And, you know, Kinesis coordinator.
00:11:51So, Meeru, successful film career ni odile si politics lo gotcha ar gada, 2018 lo.
00:11:57I mean, 2018 lo.
00:12:00I mean, 2018 lo.
00:12:01So, Ipppudunna generation, ma generation meem politics lo.
00:12:04Grawalante, meem elan sacrifices chayal sasadhi.
00:12:08And the sacrifices chayi goadadhan, I feel like.
00:12:12That is, and times are different gada.
00:12:16And I feel humans are excellent people.
00:12:19I mean, we don't know the true potentiality of any individual.
00:12:25I don't know.
00:12:25I was reading a book.
00:12:28I mentioned to see,
00:12:30I mean, someone, an average human being whom we think we don't even care, he doesn't have,
00:12:39whether he has a certain potential.
00:12:43The greatest quality comes from the extreme adverse situation when that person is put into.
00:12:51I think some, I don't know, in some other country, I think probably, I don't know from,
00:12:55I'm not able to recall which book it is, but I read this incident.
00:12:58A policeman, I think in Hawaii, it happened in Hawaii.
00:13:05Suddenly they had seen a man who is about to jump from the cliff.
00:13:14He never used to care for people, though he was a policeman.
00:13:17But on that particular day, when that guy was about to leap from the cliff,
00:13:26he held him and he made him, he saved him.
00:13:32And in the process, he was even, he was about to fall into the cliff and his partner came and
00:13:37saved them both.
00:13:38So he asked him,
00:13:42And I said, suddenly that humanity in me has awakened.
00:13:45And suddenly I felt I don't want him to die.
00:13:48And the selfish person, I don't know what happened to me.
00:13:52The writer says, in any human being, sacrifice should not be, it comes naturally when it is needed.
00:14:02So you don't have to sacrifice something for the sake of it.
00:14:05In the journey, if it becomes a part of it, you do it.
00:14:09Sometimes, in my case, I didn't want to sacrifice, but I was forced to give up certain things to walk
00:14:16on the path.
00:14:17And again, I personally feel, if the suggestion that if I have to advise somebody to come into politics is,
00:14:25first thing is, don't sacrifice.
00:14:28Be consistent.
00:14:34Without sacrificing your routine in your bread and butter.
00:14:39And the politics should not become a money making business.
00:14:43Anyone who would want to come into politics.
00:14:45For that reason, for that reason, don't sacrifice.
00:14:50You have to have an occasion.
00:14:52You have to have a profession.
00:14:53You have to have something to hold on to, to make money.
00:14:57And if you look at all the freedom fighters, they were all great liars.
00:15:00They were making money.
00:15:02They had their own businesses.
00:15:05Including who, including Dadabai and Oraji.
00:15:08They were big businessmen.
00:15:09They were doing something.
00:15:10They were able to contribute back.
00:15:12People who had done some teachers, basic small job holders, they participated in the freedom struggle.
00:15:19I think to be in part, I think your profession, your passion should be two different things.
00:15:24I think if politics is my way of serving a nation, I think that should not become your means of
00:15:31business.
00:15:31I think in that way, that's the reason why you should not sacrifice.
00:15:35You have to have an occasion.
00:15:36You have to have some kind of system where you can sustain your family, though being in politics.
00:15:41I think that's how I can suggest or advice.
00:15:44Thank you, sir.
00:15:46And I think that's a great way, sir, for us to also maybe reduce corruption.
00:15:51Because there's no greed, because there's self-sufficiency.
00:15:54But that's a whole different discussion.
00:15:56Yeah, I think I have a point to add, sir.
00:15:59Even late Arunjaitliji used to say the same thing.
00:16:01So, encourage successful professionals to join politics because they can sustain themselves.
00:16:07So, they don't seek any money from the system as such.
00:16:10So, don't discourage people, successful professionals from joining into politics.
00:16:14True, true. I agree with that.
00:16:15A very good afternoon, sir.
00:16:17A very good afternoon.
00:16:18So, I'm Preeti. I'm basically from Uttarakhand, Dehradun.
00:16:21And I'm a student here.
00:16:23So, my question…
00:16:24Uttarakhand is known as God zone.
00:16:26Yeah, land of God.
00:16:27Dev Bhoomiya.
00:16:28Yeah, Dev Bhoomiya Uttarakhand.
00:16:29So, my question is…
00:16:31This question is from since childhood.
00:16:34I used to think of it.
00:16:35So, whenever my parents or my teachers or anyone asked me question, what do you want to become?
00:16:40So, it was never politician or…
00:16:43In my entire life, I've never seen anyone to say I wanted to be a politician.
00:16:49It…
00:16:50The reason could be anything.
00:16:52The reason I came up with…
00:16:53Maybe the experience…
00:16:54I've heard somewhere that they…
00:16:56The Gen Z or young leaders…
00:16:58They don't have much experience to come into this field.
00:17:01My question is…
00:17:02What reason you think…
00:17:04And another question adding on to that is…
00:17:06You have your own party.
00:17:08Would you…
00:17:09Want a Gen Z or a young leader in your party?
00:17:12If yes, what could be the qualities you want?
00:17:16How do you gain experience?
00:17:18By just getting into it.
00:17:19Yeah.
00:17:20So, imagine the same…
00:17:21If you ask me in 2014…
00:17:24I was more or less…
00:17:26I think…
00:17:26I don't know which hall…
00:17:27But in the same premises.
00:17:30When I came…
00:17:32When I started the party…
00:17:33Though I had a little experience before…
00:17:35I dabbled…
00:17:38But for me…
00:17:39How do I gain…
00:17:40I had the same question…
00:17:40How do I gain experience?
00:17:42I said…
00:17:42You don't have experience…
00:17:43That's what people told me…
00:17:44I said…
00:17:44How do I gain experience…
00:17:45Unless you get into it?
00:17:46You have to give yourself sufficient amount of time…
00:17:49To get into it.
00:17:51I think…
00:17:52You have to give enough time…
00:17:55I think…
00:17:57I feel great potentiality in Gen Z…
00:18:01And they are well-knowledged…
00:18:03Well-informed…
00:18:04The only thing…
00:18:04What they lack is…
00:18:08Make…
00:18:10Taking concrete steps…
00:18:11In what they believe in…
00:18:13Instead of…
00:18:14Doing that from…
00:18:14They have to…
00:18:15Sometimes…
00:18:15You have to come out of your comfort zone…
00:18:17To take it forward…
00:18:18The second question you raise is…
00:18:20Would I encourage that kind of…
00:18:22Gen Z group?
00:18:23Yes, I do…
00:18:24But that's why…
00:18:26Actually…
00:18:27One…
00:18:28One…
00:18:28Experience I would like to…
00:18:29I mean…
00:18:30What I have studied…
00:18:31I would like to…
00:18:31Share it with you on this…
00:18:33You are talking about…
00:18:34I understand your question as the…
00:18:36Would you like to support the…
00:18:38Emerging Gen Z…
00:18:39Young leadership…
00:18:41That…
00:18:41Shall I…
00:18:42Shall I…
00:18:43Take it like that…
00:18:48Okay…
00:18:48My entire…
00:18:50Focus is…
00:18:51As of now…
00:18:52Or even before…
00:18:55It triggered…
00:18:57One…
00:18:57Thought from…
00:18:59Bengal Division…
00:19:00You know…
00:19:00In 1905…
00:19:01When Lord Curzon…
00:19:03Was the…
00:19:03I mean…
00:19:04Viceroy…
00:19:05They divided…
00:19:06United…
00:19:07Bengal into…
00:19:08East Bengal and West Bengal…
00:19:09Even then…
00:19:10After 10…
00:19:10I think…
00:19:11After a few years…
00:19:11I think…
00:19:12They…
00:19:13Took it back…
00:19:14Later…
00:19:15For a…
00:19:16Partition…
00:19:17So…
00:19:18When…
00:19:19Sardar Walevai Patelji…
00:19:21Was…
00:19:22I mean…
00:19:23Heading…
00:19:23I mean…
00:19:23Unification of India…
00:19:24Process was happening…
00:19:25So…
00:19:25Question was put to him…
00:19:27Asking…
00:19:28How come…
00:19:29When Bengal Division was happening…
00:19:31Right from…
00:19:32Rabindranath Tagurji…
00:19:33To…
00:19:33Netaj…
00:19:34All of them…
00:19:35Came…
00:19:36Stood for the entire…
00:19:38I mean…
00:19:38For a state…
00:19:39Is being divided into two parts…
00:19:40How come…
00:19:41Entire countries…
00:19:42Stood up together…
00:19:42Including…
00:19:43Lala Lajpatrai…
00:19:45How come…
00:19:45When India is…
00:19:46Being divided into…
00:19:47Two nations…
00:19:48How come…
00:19:50None of you…
00:19:51How come…
00:19:52You had…
00:19:52Let it go like that…
00:19:54Easily…
00:19:54If a state is being divided…
00:19:55You…
00:19:55All of you…
00:19:56Stood together…
00:19:57And fought…
00:19:57How come…
00:19:58It never happened…
00:20:00When it…
00:20:00When the country is splitting into two…
00:20:03Patel Ji says…
00:20:07One is…
00:20:08We tried…
00:20:08We tried…
00:20:09We tried our level…
00:20:09But…
00:20:09The…
00:20:10Two…
00:20:10Main points…
00:20:11Which…
00:20:11Stuck in my mind…
00:20:14Is…
00:20:15He says…
00:20:16We have become old…
00:20:18We are beaten…
00:20:19With all our experiences…
00:20:20And everything…
00:20:21We had…
00:20:21We've been in political landscape…
00:20:23For more than…
00:20:24Few decades…
00:20:25We were put in jails…
00:20:27We were beaten…
00:20:28I mean…
00:20:29We are…
00:20:29Politically…
00:20:30We went through all kinds of struggles…
00:20:32But somehow…
00:20:34We missed…
00:20:37Preparing the next generational leadership…
00:20:39I think…
00:20:40That's…
00:20:40That's one thing I observe…
00:20:41And second thing is…
00:20:43It is better to cut…
00:20:45That's a different answer…
00:20:46But I prefer to…
00:20:47Confine my answer for this…
00:20:48I think…
00:20:49That one particular…
00:20:50Answer…
00:20:51Observation…
00:20:52From…
00:20:52Sardar…
00:20:53Really makes me to…
00:20:55Think…
00:20:55Makes me to follow…
00:20:57The…
00:20:57For example…
00:20:57Why I am doing this way…
00:20:59The Gen Z…
00:20:59What I am trying to do is…
00:21:00I want to identify…
00:21:02Younger leaders…
00:21:03I am not preparing for next election…
00:21:06I am…
00:21:07Maybe this particular meeting…
00:21:08I don't know…
00:21:08How many of you…
00:21:09Would emerge out as leaders…
00:21:11Another 10-15 years…
00:21:12Coming from now…
00:21:13I don't know…
00:21:13But my intention is…
00:21:16I want to reach out to…
00:21:17As many youngsters as possible…
00:21:20To make sure that…
00:21:22From…
00:21:22My party…
00:21:23From my party…
00:21:24Perspective…
00:21:25I want to prepare leaders…
00:21:26For the…
00:21:28Entire…
00:21:29Country…
00:21:29Because…
00:21:30That's what I want you to do…
00:21:31Maybe…
00:21:31I want to give them…
00:21:33Expose them to a lot of experiences…
00:21:35Different experiences…
00:21:36I want to…
00:21:36I want to give them…
00:21:38The right exposure…
00:21:38They need…
00:21:39I want to…
00:21:40Certainly…
00:21:41She's talking about basketball…
00:21:43I think…
00:21:43I think…
00:21:43I feel…
00:21:43That is…
00:21:44A question…
00:21:45Maybe after…
00:21:46Some time…
00:21:46After a few years from now…
00:21:47Maybe…
00:21:47She'll muster enough courage…
00:21:49To fight back…
00:21:50That might…
00:21:51Make her as a leader…
00:21:51We don't know…
00:21:52It only depends…
00:21:53In the same way…
00:21:54The question…
00:21:55What you're saying…
00:21:55What I would do…
00:21:57I'm not just doing it for the benefit of my party…
00:22:00I want the young leadership to grow…
00:22:02For the benefit of the nation…
00:22:03That's what I believe in…
00:22:04That's what I'm preparing…
00:22:06From…
00:22:06I'm doing my bit part…
00:22:08For Gen Z…
00:22:09That's what I…
00:22:09I look at it…
00:22:10Thank you…
00:22:10Thank you so much…
00:22:12Thank you sir…
00:22:13For the answer…
00:22:14Detailed answer…

00:22:18I want to share my own personal experience…

00:22:22In Telugu…
00:22:24Encourage us…
00:22:25So…
00:22:26I can say…
00:22:27Myself…
00:22:28As a live example…
00:22:29August 29…
00:22:3030…
00:22:30I attended…
00:22:31The VSAC meeting…
00:22:31Sir…
00:22:32I participated in Senato Senani…
00:22:35Now…
00:22:35I am the moderator here…
00:22:37So…
00:22:37You can see this…
00:22:39So…
00:22:39No background…
00:22:40Nothing…
00:22:41No referrals…
00:22:41Nothing…
00:22:42So…
00:22:43From attending a meeting…
00:22:44Participating in Senato Senani…
00:22:46So…
00:22:46There was an exam…
00:22:47There was a…
00:22:48Extempore…
00:22:49Speaking kind of thing…
00:22:49And all that…
00:22:50So…
00:22:50Now…
00:22:51I am given the chance…
00:22:52To moderate this program…
00:22:53So…
00:22:53This is how…
00:22:54The party…
00:22:55The organization…
00:23:01You said…
00:23:01I firmly believe…
00:23:02More well informed…
00:23:05More committed…
00:23:06And who are willing…
00:23:07To take up…
00:23:07Walk up…
00:23:08Walk that extra mile…
00:23:09I think…
00:23:09That kind of…
00:23:10Thought process…
00:23:12Is needed in…
00:23:14Gen Z…
00:23:15To emerge out…
00:23:15As very strong leaders…
00:23:17Thank you…
00:23:18So…
00:23:44OK…
00:24:14Thank you very much.
00:24:15Mr. Penta is here, and the same thing, Mr. Penta said,
00:24:22Mr. Penta was in his description,
00:24:23Mr. Penta was able to write and discuss their words
00:24:27He was able to write down a lot of words
00:24:31Mr. Penta was in the first place,
00:24:34Mr. Penta was able to write down a lot
00:24:37Mr. Penta was able to write down a lot of words
00:24:45after they were done, they would have done automatically.
00:24:49They would do not to come here.
00:24:51They would have done it.
00:24:52They would have done it.
00:24:54They would have said to me,
00:24:55at least they would have said to me.
00:24:56They would have said that.
00:25:00At the back of the day,
00:25:01I was saying,
00:25:03I was just a man who was one of those who were
00:25:05in the criminal election.
00:25:10That is not such encouragement.
00:25:25thank you thank you sure thank you the question you asked right whatever how do you encourage
00:25:32Gen Z as leaders no and I would like to introduce him he's around the 22 years 24 24 okay
00:25:4124 noon and
00:25:43Kalsina Prenta 17 17 18 he met me when he was 17 and what I believe the capability of Gen
00:25:54Z he is
00:25:55one of the classic example and I could see him as a great example he doesn't come from not in
00:26:04urban backgrounds he he doesn't even come from urban backgrounds he he doesn't he's a he's no
00:26:12car he's stays in a small a small habitat somewhere in deep Nalmala forest phone connections no phone
00:26:25connections nothing it's very interior I'm in a tiger is all over the deep river tiger is there
00:26:32one umbrella tiger is there he stays in his habitat is entire the tiger is a one day to why
00:26:40I believe
00:26:40in Gen Z is looking at him is one of the example he was an intermediate of the intermediate second
00:26:47year and he came all the way he was out of outside out of my office when I was getting
00:26:53into the office
00:26:53he was out someone was with him himself and his friend I looked at them not again what a guy
00:27:00is
00:27:00doing in all I am we can untie their commitment was not even for them not even for the family
00:27:08it is for
00:27:09their religion for their environment around the uranium is being excavated and entire habitats are going to
00:27:20get polluted and I don't know how to speak in English I don't know Hindi but yet I want to
00:27:26do something
00:27:28imagine him I want to give you what's your name the yeah volleyball what what's your name
00:27:38Shruti Shruti he is one of the examples which I want to tell you you you're scared that you know
00:27:43a part of you is scared right like and would I be targeted or would I be highlighted he comes
00:27:51from a very
00:27:51you can sit down he comes from a as I told you an interior wildlife zone a small habitat his
00:28:01entire
00:28:01thought was to safeguard his village from environmental hazards he didn't have money he had hardly had food
00:28:13to eat but he had just around 100 rupees or something 150 just to come to come and go back
00:28:21he didn't have the money to take an auto he didn't have any of anybody to drop him some he
00:28:26came by walk
00:28:26around me from main road he came interior when he walked interior of the roads for five kilometers his
00:28:34thought was to make sure his village will be saved that's the only thought he had so when I met
00:28:41him I didn't know I was in 2019 I lost my election in fact I was more my you know
00:28:48I don't know what the
00:28:48hell I should do and he is seeking answers our strength from a guy who has failed in elections
00:28:58but what moved me was his commitment the moment I met him I said I want to do something for
00:29:04him
00:29:05that one stepping out of his comfort zone he came all the way to Hyderabad somehow he believed that by
00:29:12reaching out to me something will happen I think I don't know what made him to believe quite strange
00:29:18for me until today but he moved the entire Telangana state political landscape that one move
00:29:30because of that one move then the CM then and everything they came together when we had a
00:29:36multiple round table when we had one round table conference with all the parties parallel in assembly
00:29:43they withdrew the exploring the uranium mining there in in his Adilabad forest zone
00:29:53so what I'm point I want to make here is if we are committed he doesn't know how to tweet
00:30:00he doesn't
00:30:01know how to speak in English he doesn't know but he came out of his comfort zone he just 24
00:30:07right now
00:30:08when he met me he was 17 and I believe in Gen Z because of seeing examples like that seeing
00:30:16models
00:30:16like I mean seeing you know who are able to do something and I feel they are able to come
00:30:21in all walks of life I think
00:30:24that's what I would like to introduce him today he's a Shiva and he comes from a tribal background and
00:30:30he is an
00:30:31environmentalist and he really really fights for his environment around and a round of applause to him please thank you
00:30:41and one day I would like to see him send him to Parliament hope one day one day it happens
00:30:47hope one day he gets into assembly one day he goes into some imagine this kind of
00:30:53of individuals should become future leaders in another 20 years from now so no
00:30:59of them pocket go on the months of over to go on a fighting spirit forward to go on
00:31:03no I think it's a minute and it's gone on a good time
00:31:05we don't get out of the panthalok you know about the naro
00:31:08I would think I need to kill children and chepes and and thank you thank you next question next question
00:31:14so in Tamil Nadu it's been a very big political debates so nowadays a youths in
00:31:20youths all across India so they are more interested in civilization roots so at
00:31:28this time how how you plan to carry out the Sanadana Dharma to Gen Z and make
00:31:36them relevant make them to understand the about the Sanadana Dharma today sir
00:31:43for me yeah you finish your question yeah okay so can you consider so what I
00:31:50believe in is when talks talks about religion or culture every country has
00:31:55its own culture which they should respect no matter which whichever country it
00:32:00could be Middle East it could be any country they name it they have their
00:32:05own cultural traditions see in the same way our country has its own cultural
00:32:10traditions when I'm talking about cultural tradition doesn't mean that I
00:32:17disrespect others a lot of respect for the other religion but the problem is we
00:32:23being fed in the last few decades maybe I don't know we can go dig back into 18th
00:32:29century also but let us talk about for the last five decades especially when you
00:32:35talk about your own culture they feel it is uncomfortable for a lot of people which
00:32:42I don't see it if you talk about other than this particular tradition rest are okay but
00:32:52if you talk about the prevailing culture or which is instrumental in this the
00:32:58backbone of this nation and I feel somehow people feel very they put a religious tag to it
00:33:06don't look at us a you cannot take out the culture in you for example one I think I don't
00:33:13know the
00:33:13building it's a representation by Arthur Schopenhauer it was quoted in nothing in volume one he says they put a
00:33:25question I mean he was he states that in the book a lot of European I mean this kind of
00:33:34I mean the belief system there is coming into India and they're trying to change the
00:33:39the core of India and he says you cannot change India the core culture of India it is like changing
00:33:51when hitting the
00:33:52I mean firing a bullet to a cliff instead of you changing India if you want to
00:34:01take your values your cultural values back into India and you trying to transform them
00:34:05it is like firing a bullet to a cliff instead of you changing them they going to have a fundamental
00:34:12changes in the European thinking that's what that's how he designed the traditional
00:34:18dharma of this nation this country never there are many ways it's individuals if you say people find a lot
00:34:26of flaws with the Sanatana dharma and all which I don't say it it is like this in letter and
00:34:31spirit when people talk about Constitution it was done by hundreds of people
00:34:38being a lot of eminent leaders had done with lot of thought process and everything it is the implementation of
00:34:47Constitution with in its true spirit as different and and the written word is different in the same way it's
00:34:55what I mean Sanatana dharma in its core it is great it is very flexible it is very welcoming and
00:35:02everything
00:35:04but that does not mean but that does not mean it is when certain people has done mistakes that does
00:35:09not mean you have to hate the core dharma itself which I find fault with that
00:35:14so when I am trying to say that and lot of people won't like it but Gen Z should understand
00:35:20don't believe my words
00:35:24let us not have partiality giving more scope for other religions not for Sanatana dharma which I feel it is
00:35:31unfair
00:35:31if you will go to Singapore I don't know I'm not a mad fanatic Hindu I'm not I don't want
00:35:39to disrespect any religion for me is I don't do for words
00:35:42I said my concern is why should I speak to say about Sanatana dharma today when it was there was
00:35:47no need I mean because the need came in such a way if people keep on abusing one one Sanatana
00:35:54gods of Hindu dharma
00:35:55I wanted to say don't do it you don't have the guts to talk about other religions don't do about
00:36:01same thing about Hindu dharma that's all my question is don't get into traditions if I come into your house
00:36:09if I come into your house I think you're I'm supposed to take out my chapels and come inside and
00:36:14I said just because I have I said I'm okay I want to come with my I said that is
00:36:18your tradition
00:36:18there's so many things which we have to respect the privacy of others the tradition of others which I'm asking
00:36:25extend the same what you have extended for other religions that's what my question is
00:36:28even in Singapore there are multis multireligious society there there are Taoism is there Buddhism is there there is a
00:36:36Hinduism there is a Gurdwaras are there there is a Islam is there and still they coexist as one society
00:36:44no matter which religion you target you will be the punishment is the same but in India the convenience is
00:36:51if you hit Hindu dharma you can get away with it with other dharmas you'll be punished
00:36:54I don't want that to happen I want you give us equal respect that's whatever the justice you are giving
00:37:00it for other religions do the same thing even for Hindu dharma in that perspective I say beyond that I
00:37:05don't like to I don't want
00:37:07I wanted to make it India as a fanatic Hindu nation I don't believe in that but I believe respect
00:37:14for this and art and dharma the way you respect Islam the way you respect Christianity that's how my parents
00:37:20have taught me that's it beyond that I don't want to take it to a level which is intolerable I
00:37:25don't believe in that
00:37:26I think that solves the debate because we've always seen you growing up as a secular person and once you
00:37:34entered politics and because of whatever reasons you have been pictured like you know you were going more into one
00:37:40religion basis but thank you for sharing your guiding philosophy on how you're able to balance and I think that
00:37:45explains why all the communities have immense respect for you
00:37:49We'll move on to the next question
00:37:50Thank you so much
00:37:55Sir

00:38:10the best
00:38:11the best
00:38:17is it
00:38:19Thank you, sir.
00:38:24So, next question, please.
00:38:25Good afternoon, sir.
00:38:26I am also a Thamelian.
00:38:29So, I am Chandana.
00:38:30I have two questions for you.
00:38:32The first one is, as a father of a Gen Z, how are you?
00:38:38Are you straight or are you relaxed?
00:38:41Father of Gen Z?
00:38:44What if a seven-year-old kid is there, which generation he belongs to?
00:38:47My youngest son is seven-year-old, so how do I?
00:38:50I think, I think Gen Alpha, yeah.
00:38:53Okay.
00:38:54So, I have kids from Gen Z to Gen Alpha, I think.
00:38:57Okay.
00:38:58So, tell me.
00:38:59How do I?
00:39:00How are you?
00:39:01Are you straight or relaxed, chill, parent?
00:39:05I am not strict.
00:39:08At the same time, I am supple.
00:39:11And I said, where I have to be hard, I will be hard.
00:39:14Not in, but sometimes where if they go out of limits, which normally they don't do, but
00:39:24I guide them.
00:39:24Of course.
00:39:25So, in a way you can see I'm a, they see a lot of suppleness in me as a father.
00:39:34I'm not, but without being strict, I will be strict.
00:39:39That's what I know.
00:39:40Okay.
00:39:40So, my second question is, the media is known as the fourth pillar of our democracy.
00:39:46And these days many people are talking about yellow journalism.
00:39:50So, how do you view this trend of yellow journalism?
00:39:53I think any institution, if it is in its true spirit, I don't think a lot of things won't
00:39:58happen.
00:40:00This question would not have arised.
00:40:03It is not the, the fourth pillar spirit is wrong.
00:40:06It is the individuals who have done mistakes or, who are not capable of carrying the spirit.
00:40:11I think it's because of that.
00:40:13I think nowadays it has changed.
00:40:14I think suddenly, so why social media has become so powerful is, every individual has a voice
00:40:20now.
00:40:21Yeah.
00:40:21It depends on how well it is caught up with the rest of the group.
00:40:26I think the relevance of media to what extent of the social media is debatable.
00:40:33So, that's why I think there are always counter arguments.
00:40:37They might be powerful.
00:40:38They might be influential.
00:40:40But nevertheless, the collective social media is also playing a very pivotal role.
00:40:45I think eventually if you have such a good argument to it, not argument to, but I'm seeing a good
00:40:56moral framework in your arguments.
00:40:58I think no matter what happens, whether they're powerful, they're not powerful, they're different
00:41:03media.
00:41:04I think it depends on your strong moral framework, I think which you could take it forward.
00:41:13So, one point to add here, sir.
00:41:15Generally, media tries to create this phenomenon of tyranny of real time.
00:41:20Tyranny of?
00:41:21Real time.
00:41:22So…
00:41:23Real time in sense?
00:41:24Tyranny of real time in the sense.
00:41:26So, these are the worst times you are living in.
00:41:32So, it is a lot of the custom.
00:41:34Always if you go back to take back all the old issues, I think it's a continuum, I think.
00:41:39Exactly, sir.
00:41:40But to sell, to have more views and all that, they create this phenomenon of tyranny of real
00:41:46time.
00:41:47So, people should be here.
00:41:49So, we call it tyranny of real time.
00:41:53Hi, sir.
00:41:54I'm Nandita.
00:41:55Hi.
00:41:55I want to ask that, you know, recently in Tamil Nadu, actor Vijay has entered into politics.
00:42:00So, how do you see his breakthrough from an actor to politician?
00:42:06And do you think if he's entered into politics as an independent or with alliance?
00:42:11Because you both have similar breakthrough into actor to politician.
00:42:16So, do you have any advice to him?
00:42:20Normally, I don't give advices to anybody because they are – because everyone is capable,
00:42:27you know.
00:42:28Once someone is old enough, I think, even to my own kids, I don't give them advice unless
00:42:32I am asked.
00:42:33But when it comes to him, the question you raised to Mr. Vijay, they're capable and he's
00:42:42a very big hero, a very big star.
00:42:45And everyone is – has a right to come into political – to set up a political party, to
00:42:51come into politics.
00:42:53I think it's great if they serve their own – I mean, whatever their role they have
00:42:58into, they've gotten into.
00:43:03But you have to stick around.
00:43:05My question to anybody is, even, for example, right from Mr. Shiva to anyone, no matter who,
00:43:11big, small, it doesn't matter.
00:43:14I think to achieve anything, you have to stick around, you have to jump into – you have to
00:43:20be an exceptional risk-taker.
00:43:23Don't expect any results, which I didn't expect.
00:43:26When I got into politics, I told myself there was no precedent and there was no hope for me.
00:43:33I only came into politics because there's a lot of unanswered questions in me.
00:43:38There's a lot of, you know, a lot of anger on injustice.
00:43:42I want to say something.
00:43:43I want to stand for something.
00:43:45In this process, I never had a thought for – to become something.
00:43:49I want to do something.
00:43:51So that should be what I think anyone should look at it, no matter who they are and what
00:43:57they are.
00:43:57Yes, sir.
00:43:58Add on to that, you are serving the nation by being a politician.
00:44:02So if you are not – if you are not a politician, how would you have served the nation?
00:44:08I would not have served the nation, but I would have served the earth, Madhra.
00:44:13The only thing is I would have been something into – I would have been a big conservationist.
00:44:21So regarding the advices part, sir, not giving and not taking advice is the most Zenzi thing.
00:44:34No, they give a lot of advices, but they also take advices.
00:44:37But it won't be like that, no, just stand – because at home I feel that.
00:44:42They don't like advice, but they seek advice.
00:44:44Okay.
00:44:46Next one, please.
00:44:47Hello, sir.
00:44:48My name is Tiparaju Tilak.
00:44:50So I am an aspiring filmmaker and an actor.
00:44:53I am also a content creator from Hyderabad.
00:44:55Same – I want to ask, but in a different way.
00:45:00You are content creator, what initiative would you take, like, to develop, not just the content?
00:45:10The content creation, what I believe is – any content creation should make you – I think
00:45:20any content, if you read a book or if you look at something, if you share some ideas, I think
00:45:28it should make you a better person, it should uplift your – it should make you better than
00:45:31what you are as I know.
00:45:33So content creation has many – it depends on how many elements, I mean, how many aspects
00:45:41of human nature is there.
00:45:43And if you go into a library, what kind of books you choose depends on your approach.
00:45:52So in the same way, when I do content – if I want to do content creation, for example,
00:45:57when I said about – for me, I do about patriotism and conservation of nature.
00:46:01If I am a content creator, I look at about Shruti's basketball thing, whatever she is going
00:46:06through, the volleyball thing, I will try to hold it, this is the issue which is happening.
00:46:10So I try to raise that kind of issues.
00:46:14Or else some kind of – some kind of uranium is happening, maybe I would raise that issue.
00:46:19So for me, maybe I might not get as many likes as possible, I might not be, you know –
00:46:24I
00:46:24would not have done with – for likes.
00:46:26That's all I can say.
00:46:27But I would do something constructive, which would benefit the people or society around.
00:46:32Thank you, sir.
00:46:33Hi, sir.
00:46:34My name is Abhishek.
00:46:35I am a content creator.
00:46:36So my question is, I am not confused.
00:46:47So at the end of the day, I am confused to me.
00:46:51So I would like to ask you, I am confused because I have given advice and I would have done
00:46:55it.
00:46:55I just want to understand you. You are from? No, what are you doing? Interfasteer. You're
00:47:02interfasteer, okay. So what kind of, okay, till, do you agree? Till certain basic education,
00:47:09I think we had to go through it. We don't have a choice. We don't have gurukulas, we
00:47:14don't have, you know, patashalas. I think whatever the standard format is. So when I
00:47:20was in, you know that I finished my, I discontinued my intermediate, plus two.
00:47:27The reason is, I was looking at Rabindranath Tiger's life. They said looking, Rabindranath
00:47:37Tiger was a nature lover. He never went to standard school. So I thought, you see, if I
00:47:45take a model, Rabindranath Tiger, Rabindranath Tiger as a model, I think even I don't have
00:47:49to, something I thought very widely and I started, I didn't like the way what they
00:47:54taught me in school, the way they taught me in school. So for me, I want to know more,
00:48:00know more about nature and other things, but something, I didn't like it, but I could drag
00:48:05myself till intermediate. After that, I felt I was not happy about it. I want to learn
00:48:13on my own, right from languages or whatever. Then I went to different aspects. I was, even
00:48:19now I read around three to four hours, I read. I never stopped learning. Though I had stopped
00:48:26education, regular conventional education, but I had never stopped learning. So when it
00:48:30comes to career, I was thinking, what kind of job I should get into? Something which makes
00:48:37me feel that I am not, I want to be happy in what I am doing. I can suggest this,
00:48:44I can
00:48:45say this, don't do something which you don't like. If your heart, if your heart is somewhere,
00:48:53wherever your heart is, try to do that. Maybe even if that gives you money, that will give
00:48:57you money. I think always I was searching for what is there in my heart, what kind of passion
00:49:03I am with. Maybe I found that passion little in cinema. More than acting, I found it in
00:49:08creative aspects. I think that is what made me, additional acting has become a part of my
00:49:14initiative. I feel my advice would be, follow your heart, where your heart is, where you are
00:49:23spending your time. If you are reading books, what kind of books you are reading, what kind
00:49:28of films you are watching, what kind of people you are interacting with. I think based on that,
00:49:32what, I think there is something is happening, there is some destiny is shaping up. I think
00:49:36you should stick to it, but don't do something which someone has said it to you. That's why
00:49:41I don't push my kids to do something which I like. I said, do something which you like.
00:49:47I don't push them. But at the same time I guide them, if they are confused. The same I can
00:49:52tell you, follow your passion, follow whatever your heart says. But don't do something which
00:49:58you are pushed or you like, you are into it. Unless there is, sometimes you do something
00:50:05which you don't like, but that could be for survival. But after some time, you follow your
00:50:11heart and follow your passion. And eventually your job should make you feel elated and happy.
00:50:15And eventually that will give you the required growth. Let it be financial, let it be in any
00:50:21other aspects. That I could say. Thank you.
00:50:26Thank you. Wish you very best for your future.
00:50:31Sir, Abhishek here, he is actually a practicer of what you are saying right now. He is in his
00:50:37intermediate first year, sir. He has had things in past where they wouldn't join him in school
00:50:43for whatever that he has. Now he is a full-fledged content creator who has 50,000 followers online.
00:50:52He is a full-fledged content creator. Content creation. So he is influencing people online.
00:50:58He has his own clothing brand. Wow. So he is proving to everybody that has rejected him.
00:51:04So you follow. So you should be the leading example. Instead of asking, you should tell, do this.
00:51:10Congrats. Congrats, Abhishek. Wonderful.
00:51:13Thanks, thanks. You have 50,000 people. Excellent. You must be 16, 17?
00:51:19Eighteen, sir. Eighteen. Wonderful.
00:51:22Thanks, thanks.
00:51:26So now these days, this content creation and all that has become very much fashionable and all that.
00:51:31But we remember, sir, in 2018, you have gone to that Vantada illegal mining area and you yourself have shot
00:51:39that entire thing and you have posted it.
00:51:42I used to do that. But then I never knew it was content creation, but I was just doing my
00:51:49job.
00:51:50You were always like that. As you have mentioned reading, sir, I would like to ask you to suggest three
00:51:56books,
00:51:56three movies that you want Zenzi to read, to have that strong mind and all.
00:52:03I'm a bit scared to suggest books.
00:52:08One is a Telugu book called Bibhuti Bhushan Bandopat Jaya. It is a Bengali translation.
00:52:15It's called Vanavasi. That will teach you a lot about conservation of nature.
00:52:24In the name of civilization, how much, how do we destroy the culture?
00:52:31That's one book I would like to suggest you, Vanavasi.
00:52:35The other two books, I mean, you confine me for, because I read a lot, so.
00:52:39In terms, just you want to talk about economics.
00:52:44And I can suggest you read Thomas Sowell books.
00:52:50Thomas Sowell is an American economist.
00:52:55Somehow his thoughts resonate with us.
00:52:58I think one is any books of Thomas Sowell, right from basic economics to any social theories.
00:53:03I think that one writer quite interesting for me, Thomas Sowell.
00:53:10And any books of Swami Vekananda, which makes you a very strong individual, very strong individual.
00:53:15You don't, I think just half the hand if to say that I am able to recall these three.
00:53:23Three films you're talking about.
00:53:25I think I like any films which have, doesn't depress us.
00:53:32One is, one film is all about the Italian film which won an Oscar award is Life is Beautiful.
00:53:39For me, when I see that film, it reminds me of Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist who was caught up in
00:53:48concentration camps,
00:53:50in Jewish concentration camps.
00:53:53He was a very prominent psychologist in Vienna.
00:53:56And what made him, he went into concentration camps, very prominent guy.
00:54:03And to the extent he was pushed into a situation.
00:54:06He lost his wife.
00:54:08And he was forced to eat fingers of dead bodies.
00:54:16And he came out with, in that entire process, he didn't come out bitter and battered.
00:54:22He came out in a more constructive way.
00:54:24And he came out with a concept called logotherapy.
00:54:27Logotherapy.
00:54:29No matter what happens in your life, the way you interpret makes all the difference.
00:54:33I think that's the crux of what he says.
00:54:35I think that one book, for multiple reasons, I like that book, Viktor Frankl's In Search of Meaning,
00:54:45I think, Life's Search for Meaning, something like that.
00:54:47But that theme has reflected in the film called Life is Beautiful.
00:54:52The father really goes through a lot of more, like in any concentration camp,
00:54:58what a Jewish personality must have gone through those times.
00:55:01And how it does not make, he doesn't, he makes sure it does not impact his son.
00:55:05And how, in the most toughest circumstances, and dire consequences, he gives,
00:55:13he raises the hope of a future to his son.
00:55:16And I think that's, that really moved me, that film. Life is Beautiful.
00:55:22And I like films of Akira Kurosawa.
00:55:26It's all about strength and courage.
00:55:31It's all about the standing film, especially Yojombo.
00:55:34And these are the films which, I like that one particular film.
00:55:40And, of course, I like Shole, Amitavashan and Dharmendra.
00:55:45That's one of my favorite films.
00:55:48In Telugu, I like a lot of films, but if you name, if you ask me to confine only for
00:55:53three,
00:55:53I can, I'm able to say these three films.
00:55:57So, okay, we share a little bookfest.
00:56:01Like it happens in Hyderabad and all.
00:56:03So, Vijayavadala bookfest have a volunteer.
00:56:05They were given place outside the city.
00:56:08But they approached, sir.
00:56:10So, sir, Matladi, Vijayavada, within the city, bookfest, IALA, Chasey.
00:56:14And then, they will be Victor Frankl book, sir.
00:56:18Man's Survival.
00:56:19Man's Search for Meaning.
00:56:20So, Aabook Meer Patkunar, sir, Aadarwada, Jamishan, lo, out of stock.
00:56:26One more book I would like to, which more than yours.
00:56:28Herman Hesse's Siddhartha.
00:56:32That's one great book we had to read.
00:56:36Hi.
00:56:36Good afternoon, sir.
00:56:38My question for you is, nowadays Gen Z has a lot of options in terms of education,
00:56:45food, clothes, anything really.
00:56:47So, what is your advice in helping Gen Z decide how to choose from this variety of options?
00:56:54And how was your decision making when you were the Gen Z age around that?
00:56:59I'm not the right person to answer that.
00:57:01Because I'm quite greedy when it comes to, you know.
00:57:04If you put me in a bookshop, I'm so greedy which one to select.
00:57:08In the same way, life has, for you, a lot of options are there.
00:57:12A lot of, it's very difficult to choose.
00:57:16But now the issue is, before the choices were very slim.
00:57:23Now the choices are more for anything.
00:57:27The simplest thing what I would like to do is, don't get influenced by others.
00:57:36Sometimes what we like might not give us money.
00:57:39Sometimes it might not give us recognition.
00:57:41But it makes us complete and fulfillment inside.
00:57:46So in the choices given, if you take up one task, if you make one choice, you have to do
00:57:55a lot of thought experiments.
00:57:57In the array of choices you have.
00:58:03Normally what I would do is, if I have an abandoned choice, I would do a thought experiment.
00:58:07If I go this path, what will happen to me?
00:58:10I go till the end of it.
00:58:12If I go this path, if I make this choice.
00:58:15Sometimes, somewhere mind gets, brain gets tired.
00:58:19Somewhere you feel scared.
00:58:21If I make this choice, I'll be scared.
00:58:23That is going to give me this result.
00:58:25So that's what I used to do.
00:58:27I used to slim my choices.
00:58:30In a given, around 10, 15, or an array of choices are there.
00:58:34I would like to first slim where my heart is not there.
00:58:38I'll remove it.
00:58:38I like to pick up last first, prioritize five.
00:58:42In that I do my thought experiment.
00:58:44If I walk through this, if I hold on to this, if I make this decision, if I do get
00:58:49into this, what would happen?
00:58:51So somewhere you feel it, in your mind you cannot travel.
00:58:54You cannot see.
00:58:56Normally I would go back and I try the other one.
00:58:59So in the process, I think you'll stick to one or two.
00:59:02I think that's what, for me, that's what I did for cinema.
00:59:06That's what I did for politics.
00:59:08For politics, I did this thought experiment for 10 years.
00:59:11I was doing cinema, but I was thinking about politics.
00:59:13If I make this decision, what would happen?
00:59:16Suddenly I get, my heart used to raise up, you know, they would bump me off.
00:59:20If I may say this, they would do this to me.
00:59:22If I do this, okay, I'll be a failure.
00:59:25So all these, you know, thought experiments will make you, when you have unlimited choices,
00:59:31cut down the size of it, select few, travel with that, you know, once you travel,
00:59:38do some thought experiments, and then eventually I think it will settle in your body,
00:59:45it will settle in your mind.
00:59:46I think you'll stick to one or two.
00:59:47I think that will give you the required thrust in your life, what you want,
00:59:51where do you want to go.
00:59:54Thank you, sir.
