BLR gang — we, tech folk (me incl), often complain there's not much to do in this city, but not this weekend. this sunday is WTDA [while(tech)do{art}] (firstly, what a great name) but more importantly, while(tech)do{art} is a FREE tech fair for art, writing, new media and DIY. (contd)

🎉🏆 Ilai has been awarded the Certificate of Excellence by Type Directors Club. Huge thanks to the amazing jury for choosing Ilai, and to the bestest @universalthirst and Anurag Gautam for helping me bring it to life. ❤️
