Intesaab presents a Mehfil with Abid Surti where he asks a pertinent question, 'Can Water Speak?'

Aabid Surti believes that  thoughts are like seeds. Fortunately his drop of a thought turned into a vast ocean just like a small seed that turns into a massive banyan tree. HAving saved 20 million litres of water single handedly, from going down the drain.a very  renowned artist and water conservationist will delve into a very pressing issue. He asks a very rudimentary question and tries to answer it in a manner which is bound to leave you thinking. He believes that water has hidden messages exactly like humans do, and it also shares feelings . He compares water to God, and discusses that if an atheist dives into the mysteries of water, he is sure to become a believer. He talks about the discoveries of scientists in relation to water with several facts and the journey of his esteemed foundation. 

In order to solve this social issue, Intesaab believes dialogue to be the best method as it promotes awareness for such issues, something which is crucial to modern India and the World in general. We would be eternally grateful for you to come and talk about the basic necessity of humanity and battle them  with opinions and insights, helping us make the difference today’s world needs.
