Paramparaa has been the most
awaited event for us and all the other 2nd
year SPIC MACAY executive body
members as it was an introduction to the way SPIC MACAY works. There was impatience, excitement and hard work:
all fruitful.
It began on Oct 4, 2013 and lasted
till Oct 7, 2013 at the National
Farmer’s Fair. A lot of work was done for decorating the stalls. The centre
of attraction was a large painting depicting the ‘unity in diversity’ concept of Indian culture. At wings of the
stall, beautiful and expressive Kathakali masks were used.
At Paramparaa ’13, not only ethnic
wears, but also the handicrafts such as woodwork, brass work, attractive
candles, baskets and other items made up of cane and grass were provided an
effective platform for their promotion. It was added with herbal cosmetics and
medicines and given the spicy flavour of India by paan, sweet corn, lassi, badi
and more; wirework and beads were also an irresistible attraction. The stall
was visited by a lot of dignitaries, outsiders and students.
These four days taught us many
things and strengthened the special bond amongst the SPIC MACAY family and the memories of Paramparaa ’13 will be
cherished for ever…Richa Lohiya, Neelam Karnatak
