In this episode, we’re joined by Karan Gulati, who offers an honest and grounded take on life in a small town like Dehradun. With sincerity and reflection, he explores what it means to grow up as a man in a place where ambition often feels out of place, and emotional needs quietly go unnoticed. He speaks to the deeply human desire men have to feel validated—not just for what they achieve, but for who they are at their core. Karan opens up about love, vulnerability, and why real attraction isn’t about chasing an “ideal woman,” because beauty, as he puts it, eventually fades. What truly lasts is ambition, presence, and the feeling of being seen. From learning how to articulate his emotions to redefining masculinity on his own terms, Karan’s story goes beyond small-town struggles—it’s about growth, connection, and the courage to be understood in a world that rarely pauses to listen.
