In this inaugural YouTube Live episode, host Jagadeesh P. launches a recurring Friday evening community design series. He outlines the threefold purpose of the call: celebrate the community, share trending design topics, and run a competition. The format is dynamic, rotating between podcasts, open sketching contests, and hot‑seat interviews. For this episode, Jagadeesh runs a "shapes" activity: participants scan their surroundings, photograph objects that clearly exhibit basic geometric shapes (circle, square, triangle, etc.), and submit them via chat. He provides examples, clarifies what counts as a proper shape, and emphasizes careful observation over rapid portfolio‑building. Community members actively share images, receiving real‑time praise. Jagadeesh then announces point tallies, declares Ravikiran the fastest contributor, and discusses the close competition between Dasari and Remo, ultimately naming Dasari the weekly winner with a large point total and outlining the rewards (credits, LinkedIn Premium, etc.). The episode concludes with a preview of next week’s varied formats—feedback session, hot seat, and other surprises—encouraging continued participation.

Welcome, guys. Welcome, welcome. Can you hear me? Can you see me? All of you, welcome to the YouTube Live. Thank you, guys. Thank you. So I'm super happy that I'm going live after a very long time in the YouTube because we used to do this for a while, like in a sense, couple of months before. I just wanted to invite all the people from the community, from the public to participate in this session. Thank you so much, guys. Okay, so this is a call which we are going to have every Friday, 8:00pm, guys. Okay? So there is no. I just wanted to tell you that this call is for the quick celebration of our community. Second is to give you an update about a topic like, let's say, whatever is trending in the design. And the third is mainly to give you a competition. How many of you are ready? How many of you are ready to participate? In fact, it's open for all the people. Okay, so all of you, can you just take your notepad pens and get ready for the session? Because I want to give you a quick activity visit. Activity will be going inside. Okay, Format. Guys, every Friday we are going to come up with something new. Okay? I also wanted to call this as an innovative space. Why? Because some of the weeks I may do a podcast. Some of the weeks I may do an open sketching competition. Some of the days I may even pick up a random person and do a hot seat. Today I'm going to do that. Okay. There is a. There is an activity also for that, which I'll do it particularly in this first episode. Okay. It will be a very mix of things. Okay. Hot seat. But apart from the hot seat, I just wanted to tell you, in today's session, we are going to do something called shapes. How many of you know what is mean by shapes? All of you type shapes in the chat box. What are the shapes? Jagdish. Okay, I'll tell you what are the shapes. So as of now, let's keep this. What do you call the celebration winner and the things. Third. Okay, first, let us have only shapes. Okay? So listen and observe carefully. I wanted you guys to look around your entire space, what you're having in your home or office or whatever, wherever you are really staying or maybe you would be even traveling. No problem. It doesn't matter. Okay? Look around the things and try to take the shapes out of it. Can I give you an example? Can I give you an example? This is a shape of circle. This is a shape. But this is not a shape. This is not a shape. This is organic shape, right? You cannot call this as a proper shape. And you cannot call this also as a shape. Okay. You cannot call this as a shape. It is like a Volkswagen vehicle. That's it. There is no shape here. Maybe if you look at it very in a micro level. Yes. The wheels are in a perfect circle. Shape. Shape means shape. Very simple. Okay. Don't. Don't reinvent something and then come back. So what I wanted you guys to do is just. Just observe the things which is around you. And take your smartphones and go ahead and take pictures of each and everything which is having a square, circle, triangle. It should not be like a half triangle and all. Then you never. You have a name like let's say rhombus, trapezoid, parallelogram, whatever that you call. But I want shapes to be like a shapes. A lot of you. Clear.
