Irrelevant from where I come from, an opportunity was provided by fate. More like, it was the result of the skills and hard work of my past. Destiny provided me a light in those dark, hard times. The light which is helping us bushes to grow. The light which makes the pieces of crumbled glasses to shine like a Diamond, A Light in the form of a vast Family named VAHANI.
Let's get to the Chapter Meets, where the Family members present close to the designated location associate. It is a memorable and special event with its own specialties’ like.

Travelling to these cities is a thrilling experience; the excitement to explore the new cities is incomparable.
