Happy Diwali to our nerdy fam! ✨

On Saturday, we’re taking a train journey across India and inviting you to join us. We’re getting into the general compartments of Indian Railways.

Train journeys already are their own universe. For some of us growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, especially in smaller towns, it remained the default choice. And each journey unyeilded a romance of its own. Strangers strike up conversations (sometimes to annoying decibles), people argue, exchange food, share stories and even confide in complete strangers. Some of us kept ourselves engaged with crossword puzzles.

But some of us who traveled in general compartments would agree that those coaches would end up having their own worlds. There are journeys undertaken for survival and the hope of finding a better life. Sometimes, there would be encounters that probably wouldn’t happen anywhere else.

For his lecture, India on the Move: Stories from the General Compartments of Indian Railways, filmmaker Samarth Mahajan draws from a 17-day journey across India, documenting the lives unfolding inside these crowded compartments.

📅 Saturday, 14 November, 12 pm
