& Atreyi Roy, Deputy Head of Casual Observer
In this month’s edition, our journalists dig deep into their hearts to express what truly tugs at their heartstrings. From memorable travels and Taylor Swift, to cultural influences on the concept of love, no stone has been left unturned. We sincerely hope that you, our valuable readers, will be inspired by what you read and that our work tugs at your own heartstrings! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Srisamvruta Sridhar, Head of Journalism
As you read each piece, you will find yourself falling in love with each photograph and they way they come together to tug at your heartstrings. Weather it be capturing a natural moment in time, or portraying the gamble of love through staged photography, our photographers have gone above and beyond to capture the multifaceted nature of love. I hope this edition will leave your hearts filled with love and an appreciation for the different ways love can exist in our world!
Laasya Savio, Head of Photojournalism
This month explored more creative designs — from memes on our Instagram page, to bringing together our CO community through pick up lines in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. All the hearts and love that infiltrated our publication and designs sure didn’t fail to remind the design team just how lonely we are (we were making designs on Valentine’s Day), we realise that this feeling is (for the most part) universal!
