Ep 10: Nirmal Bhansali on hosting podcasts, being curious & learning

In this episode of Jack of all knowledge, I'm joined by my dear friend and senior Nirmal Bhansali. Nirmal is a 5th year law student at NLUJ, and will be graduating from college this summer. I talk to him about a range of issues, from his experience of hosting two different podcasts, to curiosity and how learning happens inside and outside college. We go off on a bunch of different interesting tangents which makes the conversation richer. Nirmal is on twitter as @NirmalSBhansali. 1.
