Theme: IT'S OKAY TO ......

Diversity is what makes the world interesting and beautiful. Every single thing that exists in this world has its own path and destiny to attain. As no two things made by nature can be similar its not fair to fit the whole world in a box with no room for change ,acceptance and tolerance. In today’s world which is striving for excellence and innovations its okay to experiment, take risks, fall, get hurt and then take more risks. People often tend to judge others by a model of their own limitations, and their opinions are often full of prejudice and fear. We intend this event to be a space to reaffirm people that we all have our own trajectory in reaching our destinations and IT'S OKAY.....
