Hello!

There were experiences of exoticism for us in India and abroad in February, and they have fuelled our journey to pursue more exquisite dreams of travel and photography. In this month’s Trumpet, we bring you both – experiences we lived in February and those what we will live in the coming months, hopefully with you walking beside us on our journeys.
