From the Editors | January 2024
COVER ART | JANUARY 2024
Our stunning Cover Art for January 2024 is a photograph clicked by our dear friend Rosie Tlau.
The photo was clicked in early December, 2023 during an evening stroll at Kawlri Tlang near Serchhip town in Mizoram. The photo is completely unstaged, and it is just a happy, whimsical coincidence that the umbrella perfectly matches her outfit! And we love the idea of that – two girls go for an evening walk on the outskirts of town, they wander into someone’s farm when it starts to drizzle, and then this magical photo happens.
