Episode 4.13: This Power Trip is All Upside Brown, with Yash Hatkar and Rahul Dhiman
“A lot of this ‘dad do you love me’, ‘dad do you see me’, ‘dad are you proud of me?’ is so subconsciously embedded. We can either take it out healthily... or very unhealthily.”
“Planning things out logically, having the self-awareness to understand what you don’t like, and the courage and open-mindedness to try new things will make you a happier person.”
Chicago natives and creators of the new Upside Brown television series Yash Hatkar and Rahul Dhiman sit down with the The Desi Condition's Tanushree and Anu to talk all things men's vulnerability. Men may respond to societal pressures in a number of ways; we explore the many stimuli that shape how men choose to present themselves including friends, family, romance, and careers. We discuss how insecure attachments, lack of communication and unprocessed pain can lead to overcompensation in the form of power trips, and ask the question, "how can men calibrate the need for power?"
