THE times they are a-changin’... the iconic title track of Bob Dylan’s 1964 album might have been written in a different context and time but seems to hold true for the present one too. As winter gives way to a warmer season, hope floats in the air. The articles, this time around, showcase the same. Manoj Bajpayee, our celebrity interview, represents the triumph of the aspirations of small-town India. Venturing into the heart of the country, a travelogue on the Mandu festival sets the tone for the way we will be travelling in the future. There are also suggestions galore for those looking for short breaks. The adrenaline junkie can look forward to taking off on an adventure of a lifetime while riding a Land Rover from Manebhanjyang to Sandakphu in West Bengal. You can also feast your eyes on the bounties that Nature has on offer during spring as our photographers capture the spread at the famed Mughal Garden which is thrown open to visitors during this season. All this and more in the March issue!
