✹ Team ishi is an ever-growing group of four ✹ Four different lives and experiences connected by our shared interest in creating a space that is not only friendly but informational ✹ Separated by distance and responsibilities of our own, Gmeet, Google Docs and Whatsapp group chat are our usual hangout spots ✹

✹ Of the many challenges as a group of once-strangers connecting online to curate a friendly space and magazine, one that remains the most exciting is the constant push to understand where each of us is coming from in terms of our ideas and expressions ✹ If the curation of this magazine is any success, it is only the result of learning to find a common ground ✹ We rejoice in the fact that we are learning ✹

✹ We have come to know that the team is each other’s place of inquiry and discovery ✹ We look forward to long group hugs and sitting down at a table together over food to pick up the many conversations cut short by unstable internet connectivity ✹

✹ Till then, join us in celebrating the launch of our second issue ✹We present to you, “milk tea or red tea? ”, issue02 of ishi ✹ While you read and send us your feedback, we will help ourselves with a cup of tea and go out for a walk ✹ See you soon! ✹

✹ Before we sign off, we have worked with many people over the last six months to make this issue a possible reality ✹ Exhausting, but worth the experience ✹ We hope to hear/ read more from you in the coming months ✹ You can be a part of ishi in many ways ✹ We accept entrees ✹ Write to us to find out more︎︎︎  ✹
