We all know someone from our school who used to be enthusiastic about books, studies, novels, comics and similar stuff. His ways were far different from everyone and soon, people started doing what they do the best - judging him. The boy was made to realise that he was a nerd - an urban slang for someone who is too engrossed in books and comics and hardly has anything else to discuss ever.

This episode explores this untouched territory of the society where school children learnt to bully people even before they knew what it is, just because it was cool. Nerd shaming is not a new issue but it has far reaching consequences.

Ever since we realised that education must be mandatory for all, it was expected to be something we do for the sake of doing. So when someone started to enjoy diving into the world of knowledge, he became an outcast. However, his sufferings were never his alone and the society pays the price even today.

Listen the stories of six IITians who share their side of the stories, their lived experiences and get a new outlook on how this has shaped us for so many years and how we can reshape the future generation with a small change now. Mind you, they are no experts. They are simply students who love to share their opinions on every issue.

Because, why not?
