Hello all,

Everybody encounters some inexpressible moments. Offering you the Anniversary Issue of Envision is one of those moments for me.

When everybody around us was busy preparing for Ganapati Festival celebrations, the Envision team was filled with one thought: presenting you with a very dear gift in the form of this Anniversary Issue.

One has to struggle and work against obstacles to reach the desired height. But once you are at that height, the obstacles start working for you — the height itself begins to solve the problems. Envision was a journey filled with many ups and downs over the last year.

Throughout this year, we were experimenting. We published our first issue as a PDF, then moved to an online version, and later to a full-fledged blogging system. And today you are reading the first print copy. The journey from a 10-page pre-release PDF to a full-volume 60-page print issue has been a learning, improving, and celebratory experience.

I promise you on behalf of the Envision team: with every upcoming issue, we will keep improving to build a great reading experience for you.

If you missed Envision over the last year, we have a Best of Envision compilation from all past issues.

I will not write much in this editorial — you have many wonderful things to relish in this issue.

But before I sign off, I want to sincerely thank the management of Decos for giving us the opportunity to publish this first print edition of the Anniversary Issue. And a big thanks to all Decosians who read every single article and provided us valuable feedback over the year — your input helped us improve with every issue.

I look forward to your continued support.

Regards,

Subodh Patil
