Kalamkari tree of life holding the story of Zoya and Shreyas: an Air India plane, a New York taxi, a cricket bat, chessmen, books, birds, and a dog at its roots

Follow the water

Many good things in our story seem to happen near water.

So we picked a spot on a lake, in the corner of Kerala where everything slows down, and for three days it will be full of our favourite people.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Three days on the water
