Dear Reader, Contributor,

Welcome to 2019, we’d like to extend our greetings, good wishes and gratitude to you. Let this occasion mark the beginning of another chapter of this wonderful journey, five years ago what started as a small effort to connect with people of diverse ideas has grown into a forum where different forms of expressions from people of different backgrounds, cultures and countries come together to form a tapestry of thoughts.

It is so incredible when we look back at our starting steps, we faltered, stumbled but with your shoulders to lean on, we made this far. The articles, poems, stories, cartoons and photography that you have contributed are treasures of this journal. Without these artistic works, people would not have taken note of us. It’s only because of you; new voices are joining this caravan. The torch that you lit is lighting path for others and we intend to carry this flame ahead with renewed vigor.  We are committed to giving platform to constructive thoughts and voices, we desire to not only be a part of your artistic expression but we want to enrich it with stories of other kindred spirits. We particularly want to focus on bringing out stories of change, stories of people who are making this world a better place through their work without expecting a word of thanks. We’d aim to bring forth such inspiring stories and share it with you.

We consider Indian Periodical a family connected by thoughts. And just as there are discussions, agreements and disagreements in any family we want to listen to your ideas, criticism and compliments. Tell us where you want to see changes, improvements. Correct us where we are wrongs. If not for you, we wouldn’t be here. We have come this far but there is a long road ahead of us.

Thank you once again for being part of Indian Periodical. Thank you once again for honoring us with your art. I wish you a very happy and successful new year.

Siddharth Sehgal

Editor, Indian Periodical
