I am writing this from my table, with a feeling of great accomplishment over our ever issue of Inspiro India magazine which has been a success and is being viewed all over the nation. With the completion of three beautiful years, the feeling of pride and sense of honor we experience unbeatable. All through our journey, we have tried giving voice to some breathtaking artists. Their work is their voice- we are simply the medium. Rightly said by Emile Zola, “If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.” We simply couldn't agree more. And, here, I would leave you with these beautiful words in another walk through the beautiful world of art..!! Let's keep creating..!! Stay Indian, Stay United..!!
