Very well setup Sessions.

I liked some of the aspects to the training - calculating depth of the network, ethics and some initial questions about ourselves - were amazing!

Bringing in Mahabharata made me happy because it has every aspect to it but never portrayed via many Indian reputed institutes under apprehensive circumstances and fear of imposing myth in education today.

Please keep up the good work Vishal and team!
