PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGED TIME: Given a popular request we are shifting the barefootchat sessions to 630-730 pm on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, starting from March 12th.
In the last session, we reflected on certificates and currency and the authorisation by institutions entrusted by the society and appreciated the fine balance of maintaining this trust. We also landed on gaps in our understanding of inflation, currency value comparisons etc. Please check the recording of the session and the discussion in the thread.
Extending this, we will continue our chat live, this Saturday, 14 May 2022, from 6:30-730 pm at webinar
Please share the post widely among and invite your young friends and colleagues.
