Dear Esteemed Readers,
As the echoes of devotion and grandeur fade from the Mahakumbh, we step into March with a renewed spirit, carrying forward the cultural and spiritual essence that binds India together. This month’s edition celebrates visionaries across various domains: cinema, literature, law enforcement, fashion, and entertainment, who continue to inspire and redefine excellence in their respective fields.
We are honoured to feature on our cover the remarkable Lakshmi Manchu, a powerhouse of talent, creativity, and social commitment. As an actress, film producer, and television presenter, she has carved a unique niche in the entertainment industry, both in India and internationally. Her journey exemplifies the perfect balance of artistic brilliance and social consciousness, making her an icon for aspiring artists and changemakers alike.
In our Calling India segment, we introduce Sudha Om Dhingra, a literary luminary dedicated to the promotion of Hindi in the United States. A writer, artist, journalist, and editor, her life’s work has strengthened the cultural bridge between India and its diaspora, ensuring that the richness of Hindi literature flourishes beyond geographical boundaries.
Our Khaki ki Shaan section brings you the inspiring journey of Alok Kumar, a seasoned officer of the Delhi Police Special Cell, known for his sharp investigative mind and commitment to justice. Currently serving as Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) in Rohini, Delhi, Kumar has been instrumental in solving high-profile cases, exemplifying the relentless pursuit of truth and security.
The world of fashion and glamour is constantly evolving, and this edition shines a spotlight on two individuals redefining the industry. Shaik Fazil, the dynamic entrepreneur behind Bally’s Entertainment, has reimagined the landscape of entertainment with innovative concepts and unparalleled business acumen. Meanwhile, Arjumman Mughal, the stunning diva from Jammu and Kashmir, has made her mark in the world of fashion and cinema. In the Legal Corner, we delve into a highly relevant topic, “Unpacking The Ranveer Allahabadia Controversy”, understanding legal boundaries becomes more crucial than ever.
We’ve poured our hearts and minds into curating this issue, and we eagerly await your feedback. We hope these accounts inspire you to march forward with renewed enthusiasm and purpose. Happy Reading!
