A Shout Out For Kala Ghoda Arts Festival
Barely into the year and its party time already and that too in a spectacular fashion.
Mumbai city’s most popular cultural festival, The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival is starting this coming weekend i.e. 2nd Feb and will go on till the 10th Feb. To more on the events, competitions and workshops, you can hop over to the festival’s official blog – The Kala Ghoda Gazette.
I plan to attend most of the days, if not all. And have enrolled myself in a Freelance Journalism Workshop, which will be conducted by Kavita Rao. Detailed information on the same can be found here, along with the enrollment procedure. Only 20 seats avaliable, so move your butt fast.
If any of you Mumbai folks will be or are interested in attending the Kala Ghoda festivities this coming weekend i.e. 2nd and 3rd Feb, maybe we could hook-up there. Just leave me a note in the comment section or email me and we can take it up from there.
We all have a right to express our views. In many instances; it will be against ours and in some; with us. To hear them out is 'decency' but to let them get to you is 'weakness'.

@ Praveen
The listings on the Festival site, which is now back online, have details on how to register as well. Not all these were available when I posted the schedule to the Gazette.
The Amphitheatre, well, that refers to the tiers of steps on the roadside toward the Lion Gate end, which use the road as the stage.

Hi doper,
It depends on how you are travelling. If you’re taking a train, get off at Churchgate or C.S.T. (formerly V.T.) depending on which train line you’re on. Each one is the last station at the south end anyway so don’t worry. Come out and hop into a cab and ask for Jehangir Art Gallery. You’ll pass FabIndia on the way and see Westside on the other side. Also Rhythm House is on the facing side of the road to Jehangir Art Gallery. Both of these are at the start of the lane. Keep walking down, you can’t miss the stage and the steps facing it.
Hope this helps!

The Kala Godha festival besides being a great source for the creative lot is also a good place for some nice photo opp. I had my share of experience while there and snapped around a bit. So if you weren’t that lucky enough to experience it - here is what you should not miss out next year.
