As we warm up for our #IndependenceDay, it’s nice to look around, dig a little deeper and remember why it’s awesome to be an Indian, or just in India.

Here are 4 events that caught our attention, being so uniquely desi! A melting pot of culture, comedy, and concept events, these are a great way to kick off your August in Delhi.
