Brij Literature Festival - GLA University Mathura - January 2018

On 27th - 28th January, 2018, Literario, the student literature club of GLA Mathura organized the Brij Literature Festival. Literary festivals are great places to be at and when the students asked me to visit this one, I felt humbled. 

They requested me not only to visit the festival but also deliver workshops, my signature blogging workshop and another one on story telling. The festival itself was very well planned. The students, members of this club I mentioned, had really sweated it out to create a perfect event. I even remarked this to one of their professors, who confirmed that yes, it was the hard work of the students which really reflected on the success of the Fest.

Here are some images shared by the amazing people at GLAU.

What is vastu shastra and how does it relate to karma? Vastu Shastra, often referred to as the "science of architecture," is an ancient Indian system that outlines principles for designing and organizing spaces to promote harmony and prosperity.

It suggests that our actions, intentions, and thoughts have consequences that shape our present and f...
