    "Queer"ky Conversations ft. Shreya Dubey Part-2
    Apr 22 2021
    This second part, indulges into some more questions that both Nikhil and I had. These questions ranged from what is Gender Identity Disorder (Previously known as Gender Dysphoria), if religion is something that is accepted by the Pride community because a certain observation from our own Co-host says that the beginning of the Abrahamic religions, and introduction of it through colonialization has resulted in the ostracization of the LGBTQ community. This brought us to the next topic, and that is of opening up about your own Identity. This was a great moment during the conversation, because one can see the importance and effectiveness of peer support, or just any support for that matter. Finally, with a cliffhanger of a certain personal incident, I am sure you'd want to continue listening. I hope you are have a great time, as much as we had in making these episodes.

    As someone who lacks a lot of knowledge about the Pride Movement, I took this as an opportunity to learn about this ostracized community. And to help us out, we have a guest this time with us, who is going to help us out a guide us through this journey of learning about the LGBTQ+ community. We are trying to understand LGBTQ+ through our own experiences and how they have shaped our own personal understanding about them, how the media and other sources have shaped the same, how culture and the society has been shaping this concept of gender and sex, an how they are very much different from each other in reality. So ya, there was a lot to learn.

    We are finally at the end of this episode with this last part and we are continuing the conversation, how spirituality be studied scientifically, and what is the scope, but in a very skeptical yet accepting approach. We backtrack our conversation on how we have reached to this stage. We also discuss about how we can achieve or strike a balance between our modern and spiritual life. We also look into how technology can be changing the education system. What are the things that are being done, and what might work and what might not work. We might be way ahead of our time but looking at games for education is what can also be done. Well, we are still hopeful and optimistic about it.

    We continue into the journey of looking into games and this journey takes us deep into movies, TV Shows, stories, narratives and even discuss dreams and sleepwalking, and psyche. We try and inquire into why we engage in all these activities, is it because of the dopamine and neurotransmitter rush or is there something more unconscious happening within these activities. Lets go then!!

In to days episode we will be talking about the POP Culture of Gaming, why people play games, why people are attracted to certain games, and what kind of games are there in the market that we are aware of and what is the purpose of bringing out so many games, apart from the capitalist goals.
