THE Chronicles OF JOY

ΝΙΚΗΙΤΑΙ GANDHI

SINGER & MUSICIAN

"Making music always brings me joy. When I have a guitar or any instrument with me, I feel like a storyteller; I can create stories and memories. I can make something out of nothing, be it from experiences or thoughts, and it just makes me feel so liberated.

It makes me feel like life is full of possibilities. Every time we come close to the end of a year, our hearts and thoughts are filled with wishes and resolutions. Making music is like that for me.”

NIKHITA’S WISH FOR FEMINA READERS IN 2024:

"Empower yourselves with the opportunity to create – whether you create with your hands, your thoughts, with music, or through craft. I love engaging in hands-on activities, creating things from scratch, whether it’s music or anything else. So, my wish for Femina readers in 2024 is to make your life your canvas and keep creating"

As told to Kayal Arivalan 

PV SINDHU

OLYMPIAN & BADMINTON PLAYER

"Painting always brings me joy. When I paint, I feel relaxed and centred. I hope to continue and grow this hobby in the new year.

PV SINDHU’S WISH FOR FEMINA READERS IN 2024

"I hope that you find an activity that brings you peace and that you enjoy the process"
