Kolkata Street Art Festival, An Initiative By Berger Paints India Ltd.

August 29, 2017

Kolkata Street Art Festival By Berger Paints India

Kolkata Street Art Festival

The first time I heard of the Kolkata Street Art Festival, an initiative by Berger Paints India, I thought of a friend Soma, who lives in the US. Soma is pretty much a street art/graffiti/mural expert and she keeps posting beautiful pictures on Facebook of her finds in and around the US. I was thinking how happy Soma would be to see that something like this has also started in Kolkata because the lack of street art in the city has been a topic of much discussion. Not just with her but also amongst groups of artists and photographers in the city. Take Delhi for example. Lodhi Colony is the country’s first public art district and there is a growing culture of street art spreading its canvas in Mumbai as well. Kolkata started late but we are getting there too and it is all due to the efforts of Berger Paints India.

The objective of Berger Paints India in organizing the Kolkata Street Art Festival is twofold. First, to clean & beautify the prominent walls of Kolkata with the colors of Berger and secondly, to give an opportunity to the artists of Kolkata to showcase their talent in beautifying their city. Eminent artist and Member of Parliament Prof. Jogen Chowdhury has mentored this program and the team of artists has been led by senior artist Mr Barun Saha along with Mr Rintu Roy. The plan is to paint city walls, metro station walls and trams across the city.

United Spirits Scotch Whiskey Collection Launch in Kolkata

July 3, 2016

It was my dad’s birthday and I was asking him what he would like. Should I get a nice shirt, a pair of cufflinks, a nice tie, a perfume maybe? He replied “Get me a good bottle of Scotch. It will always be the best gift on any occasion for someone who enjoys good alcohol.” For whiskey connoisseurs like my Dad, United Spirits unveiled a special Scotch Whiskey Collection earlier this week at The Oberoi Grand with renowned personalities Chitrangada Singh, Shibani Dandekar and Anuradha Menon.

#LoveScotchAsAGift event

The special Scotch Whiskey Collection entails a premium range of Scotch Whiskies such as Black Dog, Vat 69 and Black & White in specially created collectible gift packs so they will make exceptional gifts for all occasions. Shibani and Chitrangada shared anecdotes of personal gifts they have received and shared. Chitrangada commented “My father is a perfectionist and a man of great character and strength. The perfect gift for him would be a bottle of Vat69.” Shibani mentioned “If I know someone who has won an award or received a promotion, I tend to gift them a bottle of Black Dog to celebrate their achievements.“
