The Times of India Kala Ghoda Arts Festival

Kala Ghoda Arts Festival Dates : 6-14 February 2010

The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival is an annual festival, usually around nine days long, held in late January or early February, in the Kala Ghoda area of South Mumbai, India.

From its inception in 1999, the  Kala Ghoda Arts Festival has grown in stature and popularity, attracting visitors and participants from other parts of the country, and the world.

The  Kala Ghoda Arts Festival is organised by the Kala Ghoda Association (a non-profit organisation that states its objectives as “physically upgrading the Kala Ghoda sub-precinct and making it the Art District of Mumbai”) and curated by teams handling each of the sub-festivals.

The sub-festivals feature the visual arts, dance, music, theatre, cinema, literature, lectures, seminars and workshops, heritage walks, special events for children, and a vibrant street festival. Entry to all events is free to all (only restricted by the size of the venues) and costs are met through corporate sponsorship. Venues include The Jehangir Art Gallery, The National Gallery of Modern Art, the David Sassoon Library, Max Mueller Bhavan, Elphinstone College, the K R Cama Institute, the M C Ghia Hall, and the street area of Rampart Row. Rampart Row is closed off to vehicular traffic for the duration of the festival, with the entire area becoming a street mela, with food stalls, artisans selling their creations, artists who sketch instant portraits, street art installations and the like. In recent years, the Festival has expanded beyond the Kala Ghoda crescent, with events being held in Azad Maidan and Horniman Circle as well.

The success of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival has, arguably, encouraged the setting up of several other arts and cultural festivals at that time of the year, when the weather in Mumbai is cool and the sun sets early. These include the Mumbai Festival, the Celebrate Bandra Festival, and in 2007, the Kitab Festival.

All our lives, we fine tune our intellectual and knowledge concepts, but do not work on our emotions. Emotions play an important role in the personality of a man, and we must not just keep neglecting the human, emotional side of out nature. Let’s make some headway on emotions, as we begin the New Year with a positive thought process. It’s been so long since we buried our kindness. Let’s revive some of that. It’s been years since you called up your old friend, or caught up with an old, ailing colleague, compassion needs no special day, and you can start today.

Let’s work to do away with jealousy, greed, pride, resentment and apathy. Let’s pledge to show our concern for our relationships and people who matter to us. From this alone will we be able to extend our kindness and gratitude to the environment and society in general.

Re-learn the virtues of politeness, reverence, benevolence, charity and brotherhood. Help is really the only word that gives some people some solace. Let’s help people, animals in distress and other beings out. Help can be an invigorating experience, as you stretch your hand out in a symbol of friendship and dependability. But do remember that you can help out only if you are in the position to do so, so self help is the best help.

Let’s express our creativity for a higher goal, like patriotism, or even a spiritual pursuit. That will only make you more human. When you have a higher purpose in life, you cease to become the small, individual ego that you currently hold onto so hard. Let’s step aside from arrogance, pride, vengeance and corruption. Resolve not to lie, or hurt others, cheat, steal or manipulate. This new year, instead of working on something outside, work on yourself within. Cultivate the habits of gentleness, honesty, satisfaction and respect. Ultimately, the world is only what you make of it.

Neha Singh
