They ensure all performances run in sync while keeping your audience entertained throughout the wedding festivities.


    While you can ask your friends or close relatives to take on the task, you could also hire professional emcees to be your wedding’s cheerleaders. If you are looking for a wedding emcee to add a dash of fun to your wedding festivities, here are some you can consider….

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.
