    I went through freebirds via Google and get to know about the workshop. I was searching and I got exactly what I want. It was a nice session with ANANNYA MAHANTA. We discussed about the topic so clearly even she has guided me. I am so glad to be a part of freebirds. Thanks you so much respected ANANNYA MAHANTA and team FREEBIRDS.
