  • A home is like a storehouse of memories. A space where people feel that they truly belong to. A nest weaved with stories and sentiments - a place that they can all their own. But today is the era of huge metropolises and ready to move in flats. The elements that make a house a home have got lost in this transition. But there are those who do not believe in these prefabricated realities, instead strive to create their memories one brick at a time. This is the story of Akhila, a natural farmer and Surendran, a planning manager from Tamil Nadu who embarked on an adventure together to create 1600 sq feet mud house filled with memories.

    Proud Punjabi here. Im always impressed by fellow Tamils that how modest they r. This gentleman ia working for Levis and wearing his traditional clothes proudly. Thats amazing. We new age Punjabis r influenced wrongly by now a days Punjabi singers and try to copy them instead of our modest cultural values.
