Onset of autumn…and festivities…September

Autumn…a season of changes…of azure blue skies and cotton clouds lazily skidding by. A time to gear up to the festivities around… to soak up the resonance of  dhaak-beats’…and feel the white softness of swaying ‘kaashphool’. Let us usher in the season of gaiety.

  • When stressed out take several deep breaths in and out.
