Step into the vibrant narrative of my graduation journey with “Ladoo and Latte Chronicles: A Graduation Saga.” This personal project reflects my creative vision, blending my Indian heritage with the celebration of academic achievement.

Through curated visuals—featuring flowers, ladoos, pots, mirrors, books, and coffee—I’ve captured the essence of my cultural identity at the intersection of tradition and modernity.

Join me in this visual odyssey, where every frame tells the story of a marketer inspired by the beauty of diversity.
