Every other month I ask myself : what do I really want to tell you? I don’t want to preach or pretend to be someone I’m not. We’re still learning and this is just our second issue. I’m simply a student trying to build something fruitful with my team which is equal parts hard work and luck.This letter came to life during an all nighter I was pulled to get inspired for the next issue. And everything I saw that night simply reminded me of people I was inspired by growing up. The feeling of being inspired by someone transcends borders and languages. It’s a feeling you carry with you, shape and stay imprinted in ways you may not even realize. This issue is built around that very idea . It’s not about people who have inspired us in the most obvious sense, but taking FLUX and the conversation beyond our campus gates and celebrating people and stories that endure. This issue’s Cover star was an unanimous choice. We always had someone we looked up to or someone who has inspired us. Daniel was a breath of fresh air for our student community. Breaking the mould so casually that only in hindsight his students and our community realised the scale of what he was doing.

My team said “ Everybody Loves Danny “. There are people and their inspiration who come to you in unexpected ways . The same night of my “getting inspired” all-nighter I came across Ananya Sing, Erin Kim, Rohan, Suryaveer Singh and many more . I knew it then that there are so many people whose stories needs to be told by them and I immediately texted my team : “We have to get these people in our next issue !” Previous issue was more of a graphic heavy book (something I was aiming for) but now I feel it’s time for my team and I to mature up to industry publishing standards; learn and meet more people. After all Flux is all about the people and youth around us. With the motivation and inspiration of people Digital Office presents the biggest issue we’ve worked on. In the pages ahead you’ll find all these people and thier stories; from Erin’s approach towards Hyderabad’s culture, our strongest style aces and their journey with fashion, Suryaveer’s Hyderabad wine society and how he taught this city to sip, and much more.As I close, I want to leave you with something simple that my team taught me during this issue. Out there the world is broken and discouraging. But it’s also full of those who choose to do good, choose kindness, collaboration, and building something valuable together. And in the end, there are the ones who will go to sleep happy the real win . Because there is very little joy in rising alone .
