The LBBD HQ is working around the clock to curate features and stories from awesome people around town, and to bring to the forefront projects that Delhiwaalas are pioneering - whether it's in art and culture, food, lifestyle, or pretty much anything else! Of all our features through October, there are some that have stood out, and been appreciated by the LBBD crew and our readers at large. Here's what made it to the top of the editorial list this month.
1. Ziro’s Heroes | Two Delhi Boys, One Chronicler, at Ziro Music Festival
Get set to get transported to Ziro; bringing you two of the most vivid accounts of the Ziro Music Festival you'll ever come across – the first will have you in splits and also seriously questioning what these guys were on, and the second one speaks for itself by virtue of the brilliant photography.
