Culture is the common language of the world we live in. The language of music, dance, art knows no boundaries and binds all people in oneness that transcends hatred, strife and divisions. The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival is an expression of the inclusiveness of art where all gather in a joyous spirit of celebration of the finest talents producing momentous and uplifting work. Truly embodying the concept of One World.
From Feb 5th to Feb 13th, Mumbai sparkled, shimmered and shone with a parade of Colors, Art, Music, Plays, Dance, Movies, Children Activities, Book Readings and Walks that revive the heritage of the City.
Visiting and shopping at the various street stalls run by Artists across the country and taking in the visual treat of installations, paintings and photography at the Rampart Row Street Fest was a real treat.
Watching dreams come alive and reviving our senses every evening at Rampart Row Street in a myriad of colors and a host of other events.Perfect weather for 9 Family Day Outs to visit, de-stress, enjoy, meet interesting people and take in the color that is India – ONE WORLD.
It was definitely ‘One soul, one sound, one taste, one color, one step, one beat and ONE WORLD’ and Awesome fun to be a part of the history of the Kala Ghoda Festival.

Never mind that Oktoberfest in Germany ends next week. To celebrate the popular Bavarian food and drinking festival, the Indo German Chamber of Commerce is organising a real live Oktoberfest at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse during the weekend of October 16-17. An air-conditioned marquee, erected on the Members Enclosure, will accomodate approximately 80 tables with an unlimited flow of beer and food. While the organisers tell us the 80 tables have already been sold out, there are about a dozen or more left in the garden area. A round table, for five people, will cost Rs4,000 plus tax, and comes with beer vouchers worth Rs2,000. A bench table, for eight people, will cost Rs6,000 plus tax, and comes with beer vouchers worth Rs3,200. The food, which will include several varieties of German sausages like Currywurst, will cost extra. Among the ales on offer will be Erdinger Weissbrau, billed as the “world’s most popular wheat beer.”

Doors open at 5pm on Saturday, October 16, with German band Die Oberbayern (they play at Oktoberfest in Munich every year)  set to play by 6pm. On Sunday, October 17, festivities begin at 1pm and last until midnight. Walk-ins are also welcome, except you have to buy beer vouchers worth Rs1,200 per person per day, and seating is free but limited. Call 6665 2121 to make your booking.
