The week that was…

Sunday:
In the confines of the small room built outside Swami Narayan Temple in Kalupur, the slide projector and screen seemed as out of place as a Mylapore Maami in a Mcdonalds. That and a few plastic chairs made the setting for the Ahmedabad Heritage Walk. For 365 days a year, come rain or shine, the [...]

Late-a vandaalum latestaa varuven…

Lord of the Rings: The Tales of Retail Management
