'Being online' is a very broad term. There's a lot of different spaces on the internet. I would like to keep narrowing down this question and understand people's feelings about growing up online, coming of age during the information era, and how you feel like being on the internet impacted us as you were young and figuring out how to live. I notice GenZ gets stuck on the past a lot, and many of us see our younger selves as a kind of 'purer' embodiment of our identity. I'm trying to understand what ways we connect that to our use of technology. Do you associate the internet as a positive or negative presence during your adolescence, and why?

This movie made me cry when I watched for the first time at 6 years old. Now I am 21 and it still made me cry at this age.

I think one of the things that makes this movie so great is that despite being focused on a child with dyslexia, the story is still relatable to most people. A major idea in this movie is how people thrive when they are raised in an environment that accommodates to their needs- something that isn't common practice among many Indian parents who view success as a product of raw work ethic and disciplined parenting. Even though many of us may not relate to the ridicule Ishaan received as a dyslexic, we can still relate to him by how his underperformance was blamed on laziness rather than a difficulty in how he was learning. Also, watching this movie now as an adult, I felt especially moved by the scenes that confront Ishaan's parents, and how they directly question what 'care' looks like in a family.
