In this episode of Campus Conversations, hosts Phani Poojitha and Asma dive into a struggle many students feel but rarely acknowledge—social anxiety. From shaky hands during presentations to that sudden mind-blank when you try to speak, they open up about what it's really like when your voice feels locked inside—and how to gently unlock it again.

Through honest stories and relatable college moments, they show that confidence isn't about being fearless; it's about showing up even when you're scared. You'll learn how to start small, prepare with intention, breathe through the panic, rely on your circle, and slowly grow into your voice—one brave moment at a time.

If you've ever held back in class, avoided discussions, or wished you'd spoken up, this conversation is for you.

• Social anxiety is real—but not permanent
• Your voice is powerful even when it shakes
• Confidence grows with practice and community

Tune in, breathe, and step into your voice.

In this lively episode of Campus Conversations, host Laya Prada teams up with Lavanya and Sujith to explore the rebellious, creative, slightly chaotic world of the early hacker culture — inspired by Steven Levy's iconic book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

From Wozniak's playful tech experiments to Stallman's loud open-source ideals, this episode explores how curiosity and a little chaos shaped modern computing — and how the same spirit lives in every B.Tech. student juggling crash loops, hackathons, and AI models that only work at 2 AM.

This episode is a reminder that innovation isn't born in perfect labs — it grows in hostel rooms, hackathons, lab benches, and canteens with terrible Wi-Fi. It's messy. It's tiring. It's exciting. And sometimes… it's hilarious.

Hack, fail, laugh, learn, create — and maybe get some sleep afterward.
Tune in and embrace the hacker spirit that's still alive in all of us.
