‘Jalsa’, the two-day inter-collegiate cultural festival came to a grand end on the 1st of August. What had started as a small initiative to promote folk art forms in Sophia College for Women has now become a huge hit with the staff and students. It is organised annually by the ‘Prism’ team, which is the cultural committee of the College.
The ‘Prism’ members worked relentlessly for weeks trying to get sponsors for the various stalls. They even managed to arrange the right people for excellent workshops through local networks.
In the end, the sleepless nights paid off. The singing workshop by Mr. Ameya of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’ fame was a huge success as seats were filled as soon as the workshop was announced. ‘Fly High Aviation Academy’ had put up an information kiosk offering knowledge about the wide variety of courses offered by them. Though stalls selling colourful dream catchers and trendy jewellery saw an immense crowd of people, the indisputable winner was the stall selling delicious homemade brownies. ‘Dot Merchandise’ and ‘Graphic Design’ had also set up their pop-up displaying an impressive array of fandom badges, journals, posters and bag tags.
‘Jalsa’ which means ‘celebration’ was indeed a fine celebration of the Sophia experience.
