September EDITION
What’s Right What’s Wrong?
This editorial is very special because | write this sittinghere in the middle of nowhere – Spiti Valley with fascinating valleys, windswept landscapes, pristine fast-flowing rivers and the never-ending beauty of nature. As | sit here amidst all this bliss away from the everyday madness, | realised how we spend half our life worrying about what is right and what is wrong. Is this the right job? Am | dating the right guy? Biryani or pizza?Choices, choices, choices.
In between all this decision making, we forget to enjoy the smallwonders. Who cares what’s right and wrong? Go ahead and do what makes you happy, because at the end of the day, that is all that matters. Besides, there is no right or wrong — just a bunch of perspectives and points of view. Even if you make some bad choices, it’s alright. When you look back at life, you will have something to laugh at and know you have lived a life without regret!
Having given my little mountain gyan (and more importantly before | lose my signal) let’s move on to this issue. The Hashtag team is happy to feature Kriti Sanon, who encompasses all that | have said. A brave go- getter, she has been making great career choices, churning out one unique film after another. In her exclusive, she reveals her motto, one that rings true with this issue — “Sometimes failure teaches you more than success can ever do.”
In this issue, we have featured a lot of people who have chosen to make a difference.
