India has rich a culture and heritage in every corner, and it reflects gracefully in its works of art.
Remember the greeting card you made for your teacher on Teacher’s Day? It was full of imperfect flowers, and wrong spellings. But do you remember how your teacher smiled at you and accepted your card happily? That’s the beauty and the power of handmade things. Do you remember your first attempt at making a roti? It was half-cooked and slightly burnt. But do you remember your parents enjoying every bite of your imperfect roti? That’s respect for your efforts. When we come together in a team, we all bring to the table the special skills that we’ve imbibed through our culture, and through our encounters in life. And it reflects greatly in our work. It defines us. Likewise, India has rich a culture and heritage in every corner, and it reflects gracefully in its works of art. But what adds beauty to it all, is that it is hand-made, and hand-made things are an outcome of a lot of effort and patience, and immense talent.
