*Fighting Stigma around Mental Health*

Seher Hashmi is a courageous public speaker, fashion stylist, and social campaigner who uses her platform to spark vital conversations around mental health and emotional well-being. In her upcoming talk at La Makaan, Seher candidly shares her personal journey navigating the complex realities of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and clinical depression—demystifying conditions that are often misunderstood or wrapped in silence. By opening up about her daily struggles, therapeutic journey, and the path toward resilience, her session aims to dismantle the deep-seated stigma surrounding mental health in society. Set within an inclusive, reflective space, this talk offers an empathetic and empowering environment for attendees to gain deeper understanding, break the silence, and foster collective support.

This session is a featured stop on *Beyond the Horizon: A Ride for Resilience*, a national motorcycle expedition spanning 50 cities, 100 interactive sessions, and over 7,000 kilometers on her Royal Enfield to foster dialogue around courage, mental well-being, and community strength. By integrating personal stories Seher aims to build open, compassionate spaces in every city it touches—reminding us that resilience is not built in isolation, but through shared understanding, breaking silences, and supporting one another along the way.

Ek Aur Dronacharya, penned by Shankar Shesh, is a thought-provoking and hard-hitting play that remains profoundly relevant even today. It portrays the moral conflict of a teacher who becomes the modern inheritor of Dronacharya's legacy, caught between personal integrity and societal pressures. The play functions both as a reinterpretation of a historical myth and as a powerful critique of contemporary society, illustrating how power, corruption, and institutional compromise can erode even the noblest ideals. By drawing parallels between the ancient epic and the present, Shankar Shesh transcends mere retelling, using mythology to expose enduring human dilemmas and to question the ethical foundations of modern education, justice, and social systems.
