I started as a fan of this channel, then everybody on this channel was kind enough to accept me as a streamer in this channel. Today this episode has reaffirmed, rather cemented my position as a fan of this channel forever. As an appreciator of biology/popular science books, Anand Gandhi (both as a person and a creator), Vaani's charm and overall books, I have been immensely moved by this episode. All I can say is that this was a tremendous episode, a stepping stone in my opinion, congratulations for this collaboration and best wishes for future endeavors.

Anand Gandhi has always been a personal hero and benchmark for me, but seeing him not restraint by genre and medium perhaps explains why he is such a genius. Academia, social media and the industry itself has made it so hard for people to explore mediums, often limiting people in a vicious echo chamber when it comes to content. Glad to see him not be affected by that.

THE PRESTIGE! He mentioned The Prestige! I would have loved to hear much more about that. That is an example of taking a brilliant book and turning it into an even more brilliant screenplay and film. Both Christophers but Nolan>Priest!
1. Waking Up, 2. End of Faith by Sam Harris, 3. Annihilation of caste by B.R. Ambedkar, 4.The Untouchables: Who Were They? and why They Became Untouchables, 5.Riddles in Hinduism,
Arrival soundtrack is my favourite also, it was like a meditative music when I first heard that but now it makes me upset because Jóhann Jóhansson is no more with us to make such incredible music
We the audience wasted an opportunity to ask a sensible question from Mr. Gandhi. It was such a cringe moment to witness that! But Kudos to Chalchitra Talks for constantly raising the quality of content on UA-cam. Thanks to the team🤗
I am short of words .This was exactly I was searching for a long long time.Thank you so much Ma'am for having him on your show for his recommendation on books and movies.
I found both Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged equally legendary in the proportions of their themes. But I'd place Atlas Shrugged just a bit above Fountainhead for how it uses the literary devices and techniques to make itself look more elegant and eloquent.
Wasn't expecting Anand Gandhi to be Ayn Rand fan, I now see where his centrist-liberal political thoughts come from. still an admirer of his cinematic skills and intellectual prowess.
Big fan of the channel. But I have question. Why do you have to stick to a particular amount of time a video should be, when Anand was clearly ready to explain and indulge more?
I'm sorry but the host has no idea how to interview Gandhi, who is obviously too intellectual for her. She would rather interview film stars and shoot some light-hearted questions to them.
John Oliver did a 'How is this still a thing' episode on Ayn Rand. After watching it, I feel better about myself for not having finished Fountainhead. So artsy fartsy. And this guy has more than 1 Rand books in his list. Pretentious.
Anand Gandhi is a moviemaker who changes you within You are not the same person that you are when start watching the film of Anand Gandhi, by the time the movie is over you are a slightly different person a better person. It touches - transforms - changes something deep withinn you.
I am huge Robert Sapolsky fan, and watched his lecture series on Human behaviour biology in my college, really enjoyed it. Recommend Robert sapolsky's book Behave.
I'm very late here I know. Just wanted to say that Ship of Theseus is different. Definitely the best Indian movie of the last decade. Anand Gandhi has this camerawork of Bergman and Tarkovsky movies and has a structure of Kieslowski.
I can't thank you enough for this interview... This is exactly what i was looking for me... Thank you so much... Anand Gandhi is such a role model for me :)
Gosh! What an amazing person Anand is. I stumbled across this site by chance and, boy, am I glad! Got some new recommendations, while some matched. And Vaani, you are so charming, you made me hide my screen from my partner.
Philosophically u still the same brilliant,That seagulls story I still didn’t understand ,but Biologically u have started looking like Amol Palekar , “The Anand Gandhi” -The Insignificant Man.
Hey guy, really appreciate your channel. You're doing great work. I just wanted to let you know that you've got David Mitchell's picture wrong. The guy in the video is the comedian and author but not the one who wrote the book Anand's talking about. Reference: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mitchell_(author) Thank you!
Vaani you should have written or fomed your questions before this interview because after the first three reccos everything was going without any direction
After watching these highly educated people. I feel like I'm the dumbest person in the world..😭 now to refresh my mind going to watch some CarryMinati videos..
somehow we should promote his films. many prople says his movies are not for indian audience but there are enough english movie fans and Korean movie fans but the dont support their own independent art movies.i discovered about him in this lockdown and his knowledge blew me away they are not getting right promotions other Bollywood directors are not great directors but great marketing people.
There are plenty intellectuals who criticize Ayn Rand too. Personally (and paradoxically) I find Ayn Rand's theory of objectivism very much like communism. Attractive when you're young, not so much as you grow up. Five point someone is a decent enough book that upon the time it was released opened the dialogue on India's education system. An insider's account of the rot and rote prevalent inside our so called premier institutions (I'm a doctor myself, an MD from of the best cancer institutes in the country and I concur). Would I rate Five point someone as a great work of literature? No. Would I look down upon anyone who's read and liked it? Emphatically no. We sometimes suffer from a sort of intellectual snobbery and are wont to literally judge a book by its cover. Please don't do that.
😍🌋😍 (Love) at first sight. 💑❓😓 It will never be the same again. So, let's not messed up! 🙏🆘🤦 What is the toughest question, 'origin of life' or 'what is love' ? 🐒It seems later one.

Ayn Rand is trash. She was a hypocrite and the ideas that she espoused in her books through her powerful writing were far removed from reality.
@@AkshatJha Others who have read her beg to differ. You must be a distasteful little kid if you didn't liker her ideas.
@@shrishri5587 Well actually I got an AIR of 23 in SSC.
@@AkshatJha don't s
Throw floaty claims. Tell us which idea you are talking of and explain why, with reference from her books
THE PRESTIGE! He mentioned The Prestige! I would have loved to hear much more about that. That is an example of taking a brilliant book and turning it into an even more brilliant screenplay and film. Both Christophers but Nolan>Priest!
I saw "The Ship Of Thesis"............................................ my life has changed. Anand Gandhi is Great
Anand Gandhi one of the finest directors we have in film industry, love to see him on this channel !!! great work vaibhav and vani
👍👍
1. Waking Up, 2. End of Faith by Sam Harris, 3. Annihilation of caste by B.R. Ambedkar, 4.The Untouchables: Who Were They? and why They Became Untouchables, 5.Riddles in Hinduism,
I had the entire set of children's knowledge Bank gifted to me as a kid ❤️
Arrival soundtrack is my favourite also, it was like a meditative music when I first heard that but now it makes me upset because Jóhann Jóhansson is no more with us to make such incredible music

I am short of words .This was exactly I was searching for a long long time.Thank you so much Ma'am for having him on your show for his recommendation on books and movies.
Every Indian youth should read Fountainhead by ayn rand. It's real inspiring and shows how one should choose his or her work.
I found both Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged equally legendary in the proportions of their themes. But I'd place Atlas Shrugged just a bit above Fountainhead for how it uses the literary devices and techniques to make itself look more elegant and eloquent.
Thank You So Much. You guys are doing wonderful work and trust me "ISSE BAHUT FARQ PADTA HAI"! All The Best
Wasn't expecting Anand Gandhi to be Ayn Rand fan, I now see where his centrist-liberal political thoughts come from. still an admirer of his cinematic skills and intellectual prowess.
Ayn Rand is trash.
I know right! I can't get how anybody over 16 who would be impressed by Ayn Rand...
@@AkshatJha true! TBH her work should be declared crime against humanity
Ayan rand is his guilty pleasure.
Even he criticised ayan rand.
Children knowledge Bank was one of the main books that inspired to study science ❤️❤️
One of my regret is reading Atlas Shrugged and I wish I had instead read War and Peace or some other great classic. Fountainhead was still ok.
Such conversations keep me alive and breathing amidst these tough times ❤️❤️
Thank u
Big fan of the channel. But I have question. Why do you have to stick to a particular amount of time a video should be, when Anand was clearly ready to explain and indulge more?
Did u just read my mind vaani? I wanted book recommendations from Anand gandhi sir after watching ship of theseus. Thanks a lot
I'm sorry but the host has no idea how to interview Gandhi, who is obviously too intellectual for her. She would rather interview film stars and shoot some light-hearted questions to them.
he's hands down one of the best new age parallel cinema directors
That is not the David Mitchell that wrote the book.
The picture belongs to the comedian David Mitchell.
John Oliver did a 'How is this still a thing' episode on Ayn Rand. After watching it, I feel better about myself for not having finished Fountainhead. So artsy fartsy. And this guy has more than 1 Rand books in his list. Pretentious.
Yes pretentious is the word you should use Erudite Sourav!
Anand Gandhi is a moviemaker who changes you within
You are not the same person that you are when start watching the film of Anand Gandhi, by the time the movie is over you are a slightly different person a better person. It touches - transforms - changes something deep withinn you.
Amazing recommendations by Anand Sir .
Ok so this the guy who wrote first 82 episodes of Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi and changed the course of Indian television.
The guy at 16:07 is David Mitchell the comedian not the novelist.
Hope to see more of such episodes from eminent writers,poets and filmmakers around India.
I am huge Robert Sapolsky fan, and watched his lecture series on Human behaviour biology in my college, really enjoyed it.
Recommend Robert sapolsky's book Behave.
I'm very late here I know. Just wanted to say that Ship of Theseus is different. Definitely the best Indian movie of the last decade. Anand Gandhi has this camerawork of Bergman and Tarkovsky movies and has a structure of Kieslowski.
Please do one more show with Anand Gandhi for movie recommendation
This channel is very useful for book lovers. Keep inviting people like Anand Gandhi and Dhruv Sehgal. Great job.
I can't thank you enough for this interview... This is exactly what i was looking for me... Thank you so much... Anand Gandhi is such a role model for me :)
Your work is allowing PPL like me to have a look inside these ppl's brain, what do they consume .
Keep doing that 👍👍
Of course I am an Anand Gandhi fan. Thank you so much for this interview. It’s so useful. It’s a treasure for any one.
Gosh! What an amazing person Anand is. I stumbled across this site by chance and, boy, am I glad! Got some new recommendations, while some matched. And Vaani, you are so charming, you made me hide my screen from my partner.
His last thoughts about the channel were so heartfelt 🧡
Obsessed with this episode. Brilliant mind of India
Amazing interview,loved it and I am watching this channel for very first time.Good job.
One of the best you tube videos.. Vani.. briliant work .. its just brilliant to hear anand gandhi... again thanks vani for doing this.. keep up...
Obsessed with this man and his mind.
all through the talk, i just wondered when he’s going to talk about sapolsky!
Anand Gandhi one in a century
4:12 vaani's face🤣
😂
very intrigued and impressed by the guest..
Philosophically u still the same brilliant,That seagulls story I still didn’t understand ,but Biologically u have started looking like Amol Palekar , “The Anand Gandhi” -The Insignificant Man.
Keep doing great things Vani Mahesh 👍👍
Hey guy, really appreciate your channel. You're doing great work. I just wanted to let you know that you've got David Mitchell's picture wrong.

Great interview and glad to see you ma'am and Anand Sir ✨✨😊
You may have no idea who did you meet there. He is modern upcoming Vivekananda in my opinion.
Such a beautiful content you guys make.....cheers
Children's Knowledge Bank brings back a lot of childhood memories
I loved these recommendations and his first name.
Anand Gandhi floats way above in intellect than an average person out there.
Thanks for this one, you've earned a new follower.
At last you made me watch book recommendations series too.
Vaani you should have written or fomed your questions before this interview because after the first three reccos everything was going without any direction
After watching these highly educated people. I feel like I'm the dumbest person in the world..😭 now to refresh my mind going to watch some CarryMinati videos..
Loved this thoroughly
I am binge walking every video because they are so cool.😍
Okay, but how to juggle between films and books #LeisureMartini
Fantastic channel Love It
OH MY GOD GIRL YOUR VOICE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm grt fan of anand Gandhi
somehow we should promote his films.
many prople says his movies are not for indian audience but there are enough english movie fans and Korean movie fans but the dont support their own independent art movies.i discovered about him in this lockdown and his knowledge blew me away they are not getting right promotions other Bollywood directors are not great directors but great marketing people.
Hitting like before even seeing the video! Go @Vaani!!
DAMN you got Anand! Lovely
This man’s guilty pleasure is Ayn Rand. Then there’s me who secretly enjoyed 5 point someone and 3 mistakes of my life
There are plenty intellectuals who criticize Ayn Rand too. Personally (and paradoxically) I find Ayn Rand's theory of objectivism very much like communism. Attractive when you're young, not so much as you grow up.
Five point someone is a decent enough book that upon the time it was released opened the dialogue on India's education system. An insider's account of the rot and rote prevalent inside our so called premier institutions (I'm a doctor myself, an MD from of the best cancer institutes in the country and I concur).
Would I rate Five point someone as a great work of literature? No.
Would I look down upon anyone who's read and liked it? Emphatically no.
We sometimes suffer from a sort of intellectual snobbery and are wont to literally judge a book by its cover.
Please don't do that.
No match of paperback
This is what i believe
Great , please bring Varun Grover
Can somebody tell me the title of the gujrati poem or full poem which he has recited in the video?
Robert Sapolsky - Human behavior biology
Please invite Swara Bhaskar, Varun Grover, Sanjay Rajoura
He should've explained on what's so factually wrong about Ayn Rand other than just saying that 🙄
One of the most sought after fav personality of mine interest
Anand Gandhi 💚🙏 fav mind
Thanks Anand Gandhi
Anand ❤️
You should take some movies and tv series reccomedation too😔😔
Most of the questions are unnecessary
1)the life of a cell
2)the selfish gene
3)what is life?
Guilty pleasure : ayn rand books.
Love Anand!!
The lives of cells. Marguilis,what is life,
this is just amazing.
I'm excited
I'd love to interview this guy 😋
May be you can do with not sounding so sleepy and boring
8:38: damn..that'd be me right there
Yaar itna kucch tha poochne ka tha and what is she asking kiddish questions
Like fifty shades of grey n all 😏you wasted a chance
😍🌋😍
(Love) at first sight.
💑❓😓
It will never be the same again. So, let's not messed up!
🙏🆘🤦
What is the toughest question, 'origin of life' or 'what is love' ?
🐒It seems later one.
kendrick lamar lookalike found
I don't know but i just feel that what if anand gandhi understand works of jiddu krishnamurti.....
This is Zen.
❤️❤️❤️
You full feel my wish💙jai bhim
Tum kitni cute ho 😍😍😍
