TAX FREE-: Blindness suddenly entered their lives and they walked into a club. And the fun began.
People who become blind in the middle of their life are worse off than those who are blind by birth. Everything they have been seeing so far turns black for them. This sudden sense of loss of vision is far more difficult to deal with than absence of vision from birth. This Hindi black comedy is an adaptation of a very popular Marathi one act play. It is about how four blind men deal with a very different kind of mid-life crisis. It takes the audience through a lively, funny yet emotionally charged interaction among these four blind men at a 'blind men's club.'

BHARATNATYAM WORKSHOP-: This workshop combines the intricacy of Bharatnatyam with the most popular Bollywood numbers!
''Indian classical dance is not just for entertainment, it is designed to elevate your consciousness''- Sadhguru.

Bharatnatyam to weave it into some popular Bollywood music, without deviating from the
classical style. It is a step for all the amateurs who wish to transform themselves by
breaking all age, gender and body barriers. The workshop shall ensure that you take back home some beautiful movements which otherwise on electronic media seem like a dream away.
