what is masti?
Masti is the untranslatable Indian word for joyful, carefree, mischievous fun. The kind that doesn't need a victim. Bunking class for a hill station. Hostel chai at 2am. Office Diwali chaos. Your dadi roasting your dad at dinner. Masti is alive, plural, and built differently for everyone.

masti doesn't need a victim.
