An Introduction to Calligraphy
Calligraphy is a kind of music not for the ears but for the eyes.’ It’s a visual art related to writing. It is the design and execution of lettering with a broad tip instrument, brush, or other writing instruments.
Intelligentsia, offers a brief tryst with Calligraphy on Oct 22nd. We strongly believe that any art form, however complicated, can be mastered if practiced under expert guidance along with step-by-step instructions.

She is a Penkraft certified trainer in Calligraphy and Handwriting Improvement, and has been coaching young and adult alike.

Stress management
Stress Management Meetup-
Most of us live alone away from our families and friends in this big city managing everything on our own – Friends, relationships, work pressures and everyday stresses. Sometimes things get a bit too much and it helps to have someone or a group of people to just talk to. Just a support group of people in similar situations all looking to talk about their issues and express themselves freely to take the huge weight off their shoulders.
Stress management has become a challenge for many today. To address this, B&G is hosting a Stress Management Meetup facilitated by counsellor Dr Ishita Dutta. Dr. Dutta has been resolving stress related issues for over 15 years.
Hearing from other people makes our problems sometimes look easier to manage or even lighter in comparison and it helps to have a group of people we can open up to. With this in mind, if you feel you do have a lot on your mind and could benefit from talking to someone or a group of people, come by our support group on 23rd July at 5PM.
Complete confidentiality will be maintained. No pictures will be taken.
Agenda –
1. Meditation
2. Discussion on Stress Management
Date – July 22, 2017
Timings – 5pm – 8pm
Fees – 500/- per participant
