When I was your age, we didn't have anything called social media." Former MP Milind Deora is seated in an art gallery in South Mumbai with three people much younger than himself — not quite the setting commonly seen on the Internet, let alone their agenda for the day that involves talking about the relationship between social media and politics.

The idea of a web show, Learning with Millennials, was conceived by the interns at Deora's office around a month ago, who began sourcing young voices they could feature in the series. That, for the first session bottled down to three names — Gurmehar Kaur, 20, of Lady Shri Ram College in Delhi, Mohini Jha, 21, a recent graduate of St Xavier's College in Mumbai, and Rohit Agarwal, 22, a student at Rizvi Law College. "The basic concept was to connect with millennials and understand what their aspirations are, in a very apolitical way. The other was to allow them to make use of my experience of governance and government to debunk some of the myths and misconceptions they have about politicians," 41-year-old Deora explains.
