Pulse, in collaboration with Aura India have organised a forum in the hopes breaking taboo in the present day. They hope to spark conversation and change perceptions of certain ‘forbidden’ conversation topics amongst the majority of the Sri Lankan population. 'In a country that thrives on diversity and differences, many topics of conversation are whispered in hushed tones, swept under the carpet, and never see the light of day, we hope we can bring about an active, and a productive conversation through this forum.'
