Thank You: Magnetic Fields 2014

Brain cells are once again uniting, sentences can once again be formed and memories from the second edition of Magnetic Fields Festival are piecing themselves together. A truly spectacular 3 days that saw some of the most beautiful people meet and marry over music, dancing, palaces and deserts. Dolled up camels, strangers uniting, misty horizons, heart warming food and the music...

In our wildest dreams we never thought the magic from year 1 could ever be recreated but we were ecstatic to be proven wrong. This edition of Magnetic Fields again saw plenty of love, sweat and tears and in tradition what follows is a simple thank you, from the bottom of our hearts to all of the people who were part of this and all of those who made the effort to join us in Alsisar Mahal for what can only be described as one of the best weekends of our lives.

First off, a huge thank you to all of our volunteers who worked around the clock to support us: Yash, Kerry, Aditya, Jeffy, Arjun, Ankur, Pranav, Mudit, Gagan, Nikita, Erik, Franny, Kristin, Ayangbe, Kiran, Diya, Siddharth and to Hasheel for coordinating and being an absolute champion. A massive thank you is in order to our collective of VJs who put together such stunning content for the night stage and that fantastic installation; Amandeep, Sourya, Lalindra, Nishant.
