Ideas We Believe

As tough times await us, it's frivolous to talk about theatres. But doesn't it look like theatres would go out of fashion before the pandemic ends( But would it ?? ) With the footfall on OTT platforms rising daily.

Is there a secret recipe? The answer is your belief  (funny is not it ? now do you believe in dragons ). Once you know what you are and you are in peace with yourself, the only step required is the complete believe that you can do it. You see it was never the superhuman abilities, Kung-fu is the art of mastering any skill, it's the  tr
