“Communication works for those who work at it.” Our daily routines often consist of segments where we utilize language, expressions and gestures to relay feelings, receive information and inspire action. Sometimes, no matter how articulate the idea we put across is, it doesn’t seem to be interesting or understood by the recipient. Many times our words fall tone deaf and can cause confusions or miscommunicate our intentions. Why do we want some conversations to last forever, while others we desperately try to crawl out of. In light of how important it is to acquire the art of communication, we try to break down our conversations and discover together the ‘What’, ‘How’ and ‘Why’ of productive communication.

The discussion on mental health has always been vital yet under-discussed. As important as physical health is to a functioning body, mental health is a key to a healthy mind. Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. Societal stigmas and general ignorance on the topic has caused major confusions in our understanding and acceptance.

As important as it is to have heavy discussions, it is equally necessary to have lighthearted and fun conversations for team building and stress relief. They say, “we are what we eat”.

Each culture uses a unique selection of ingredients and these combinations and fusions create endless possibilities distinguishing people from one another. This session aims to have people together and highlight the beauty of culture through food.
