So the concept is to have a rendezvous with artists (performing, visual, creative, literary, Graphic and more) who have been in the respective fields where their passion and profession have been one and they have made a happy and satisfying life. I commenced this with only one thing in mind and that is to be able to bridge the gap between aspirants or youngsters and the senior most!

Covid 19 and the artists/ creative professionals staying back at home, in the lockdown:
It is very sad that the global pandemic has happened and mankind is facing one of the toughest times, socially, economically, physically, emotionally as well as culturally. In these times, what one can do is, stay home, stay safe and follow the instructions given by the government, medical practitioners and law and security professionals. It is good and important to stay fit, mentally and physically and stay active by being at home, spending quality time with family members and staying in touch with your loved ones, through phones, internet and such. I have resumed online rendezvous series, yet once again, on online format.The series is tele-casted live at www.instagram.com/manasiindia Later, a recording of the same as a data-record for future reference is saved.
