“To Lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balanced life.”
[Recently, Homegrown found synergy with TIGI’s ‘This Is Me’ campaign; conceptualized to shine the spotlight on young Indians’ growing dedication to individuality. Self-expression fuels our fire and this article was inspired by the same. Having already featured interesting young individuals who were finding self-expression in hair experimentation, we decided to further narrow down the search to feature those who thrive in dual existences. Read on to see what we mean.]
