Creativity — it’s such a tumultuous concept, right? It morphs into numerous forms and shines through artworks, novels, music, dance, and so much more.

Dreams of a Wandering Balloon
The balloon floated around like the cloud men drifting off,

Today, I was going through an interesting book by Sudha Murthy. The book’s name was ‘The Gopi Diaries’.
