In this issue

Dear Readers,

I hope the double dose of IPL and festivity is keeping you busy and happy. Keeping the same sentiments in view, our current issue is a perfect blend of both, that I am sure will be loved by you all. On one hand, we have Shubman Gill as our cover boy and on the other hand, we have a plethora of festival delights to make it a colourful, tasteful, and beautiful Diwali. And to make it a cheerful season, we have got a slice of humour by Tahira Kashyap that will give you the much-needed happiness and joy during the trying times. On that note, I wish you all a very happy Diwali, and thanks for all the support and affection for these years. Let’s hope and pray for normal days to be back super soon!
