It's been a peculiar time for India. In the last few years, some of the country's most well-known "gurus" have been charged with corruption and harassment and, in the case of Asaram and Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, convicted of sexual assault. Every other week, a new, yet-unheard-of-guru springs up. It's perhaps in this context that a talk at Khar's The Habitat, gained much curiosity this weekend.

Titled Conversation on Gurudom, the talk held by Nidhi Chaitanya a subjective scientist and idea archaeologist, aimed to breakdown this question: "When we look at Saint Dr Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan, I ask what all can a guru be? Actor, director, rockstar, action director, choreographer, scriptwriter, singer, lyricist, costume designer, director of photography, voice-over artiste, sound designer, publicity designer, creative director, DJ head?"
