India News Bulletin believes this kind of summer day is a great opportunity to bond with fellow Indians and satisfy cravings for Indian food items and talk in native languages to nourish the home culture away from home.
To top it all, as the funds collected from MMR’s cricket and Anand Mela day will be donated to Nepal Earthquake Relief, India News Bulletin urges as many UK Indians to participate and support the good cause while also enjoying a slice of Indian culture in Reading.
