The Kala Ghoda festival is an integral part of Mumbai’s annual cultural festivities calendar and has only grown in stature every month. The Kala Ghoda (which literally means ‘black horse’ in Hindi) festival is held annually between January and February and attracts a very large part of Mumbai’s population along with the many tourist that come by every year.

This year’s festival was a little more special for us as some of the Pinstormers won the events they participated in!

In the Poetry Slam (head here for details), Raamesh Gowri Raghavan, copywriter, participated and came second with a rather interesting poem on a temple as seen from the eyes of the presiding deity.

In the Literary Quiz (details here) spread over two days, Mahesh Murthy, our Founder, and Bala, our Ex-Creative Director, participated and qualified on the first day for the finals. Then on the second day, they topped that and actually won the finals!

As you might imagine, the winners have had to deal with some sore palms today, thanks to all the high-fives happening! We all at Pinstorm are proud of you guys! Ride on!
