Mannequin Challenge! Suhani + Gyanesh

Especially with children and oldies also wanting to be in the frame (they tend to move during the challenge, wrecking the video in the process), a limited space with too many people and a very tight schedule. But what we need most to pull off a mannequin challenge, a willing bride & groom, is something we had in the case of Suhani & Gyanesh, read more…

Being avid readers, we always have wanted to be a part of this fest, but it has been something that has evaded us because of its proximity with the wedding season & a heap load of work that besots us during those dates. Over time, we stopped following the dates of the event, since we were sure we would not be able to attend.
