As the world has progressed technologically, there have been many noticeable social changes in communities as a result. We have never been as connected as we are now, yet, at the same time, we have never been as isolated as individuals as we are now.
When was the last time you looked into the eyes of someone you don’t know and had a few moments of pure human connection, with no words?
When was the last time three or four generations in your family came out and shared an experience together?
When was the last time you smiled for over an hour?
All of this is experienced by the hundreds of people in Bangalore who are already a part of Bangalore’s very own Community Drumjam.
Come with the Whole Family!!
