WHY 'GILLY'S CIRCLE'?
The 'Gilly' Part
This should be obvious! 'Ankush and Elle Gilhotra' is just too many syllables! (You can't expect Shane Smith to remember all of that!) So, their close friends refer to them as 'The Gilly's'!
As for the Circle...
A circle is a powerful symbol in the friendship realm. At its core, it represents connection, unity, and continuity as well as...
​​
​Trust and Protection
A circle is a protective shape. It represents a safe space for emotional security, loyalty, and the feeling of being supported and protected by one another.
​
Unity and Equality
A circle has no beginning or end and no sides above another. This reflects equality, mutual respect, and inclusivity in a friendship and everyone within the circle belongs and is valued the same.
​
Continuity and Longevity
Because a circle is endless, it often symbolizes everlasting bonds.... friendships that continues through time, change, and life’s seasons.
​
Wholeness and Completeness
A circle represents wholeness. Friends often “complete the circle” in each other’s lives, offering companionship, understanding, and balance.
​
Community and Belonging
When it comes to a circle of friends, this symbolism is literal: a shared community built on the above.
