Discover the New Assortment of Zenfone Gadgets...
Zenfestival | 06 Aug 2015 | 13:00 | Jawahar Lal Nehru
Stadium, New Delhi
 |
| Zenfestival @Delhi 2015 |
Asus, the symbol of persistence and
perfection launched 3 new variants of the performance master Zenfone in the
Indian market:
- Zenfone 2 Deluxe
- Zenfone 2 Laser
- Zenfone Selfie
 |
| It's Me - Jyotika :) |
Unlike the Asus Zenfone 2 launch earlier
this year in April, ZenFestival saw a massive gathering of people from various
fraternities – students, bloggers, professionals, geeks. A bit disappointed
with the management thing, I believe that restricted and exclusive audience
entry could have saved the entire episode from going off-track and chaotic.
A little late of time though, the event saw
mark of the start with Cyrus Sahukar (popular host and MTV India VJ).

Sahukar’s
ever witty style and the exuberantly splendid performance by Natya Nectar (an
international performing arts company) revived up our frazzled minds.

The
glowing aerial drummers and the graceful acrobat artists mesmerized the
environs with their unforgettable acts!
