Editorial
Namaste, “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”
W
e all have traveled together many miles and of course there is so much to look forward to in the future. That we are journeying together is a great truth. Even more satisfying is the knowledge that we are all bound by a common purpose of togetherness. We therefore thought of enriching this whole experience of togetherness by offering this podium wherein we can all keep in touch and share something worthwhile. Of course the journey’s begun but we said right at start, the first step has been taken. This product is for each one of us and we do hope that this shall prove to be our friend, philosopher and guide as we move on. We appeal to you to participate wholeheartedly in this new venture. Let’s make it a success! We begin this issue with a reportage of the recently concluded cultural event in Kothrud. DarodeJog Properties believes in nurturing the cultural spirit of Pune and had hence decided to participate in the Kothrud Sanskrutik Mahotsav first organised by Sanskrutik Pratishthan in 2012. This year, we are back with a grander second season of the cultural festival. Anand Jog is an artist and is greatly inspired by the works of Mario Miranda. In this issue, Anand talks about Miranda passionately. The interview is a must read! Let us set higher goals for ourselves and let us all work harder towards keeping commitments.
Embracing green covers! Darode-Jog Properties recently organised two events to spread environmental awareness. One focused on the degrading rivers while other gave the message of nurturing environment.
