Episode description

How do communities form? What keeps them together? And why do they split? 

Referencing  events discussed in the first episode of the season, Susheel recollects  his behind-the-scenes experiences of Parkour's birth and growth in  Chennai. And over the course of the conversation, he captures a basic  truth about many young communities: They form without structure and  purpose. A bunch of people just get together to do something they love.
