"A carnival celebrating the exchange of words and art, adding to the dispersion of culture across a wide demography— this is how I'd describe KLC 2024. It provided the perfect platform for authors and creators to put forth their ideas, share their artistry and meet like-minded people. Here is looking forward to more of such initiatives."
