Devdutt Pattanaik probably has one of the most unique designations that one might come across. He is the Chief Belief Officer at Future Group of Big Bazaar and Pantaloon fame. Devdutt, a student of mythology, has several books to his name and writes several mythology related columns in newspapers. In this point blank, we talk about mythology, its relevance and what one can learn from it. Devdutt presents some very interesting thoughts about mythology that I grew up believing to be true, about preserving heritage structures and how to interpret mythology.

The female voice in the podcast is that of my friend, Niranjana, who has a keen interest in mythology and has joined Point Blank Show as a host. If you listen to the podcast, you would realize that she asked the most interesting questions which proves that passion drives good questions and leads to a good Point Blank. You should be hearing a lot more from here soon.
