On 21st October 2010, Deepavali celebration organized by my division (BASE) at Cisco.On Shyam's suggestion and with his help, we put up the "Living Raaga" stall at Cisco BASE Division.
We spread the Thornas, Rangolis and quilled magnets across two tables, the bright colours and the golden glitters drew the crowd. Since the concept of rangolis, wasn't very evident to the people, I spread out a rangoli and decorated it with flowers. It helped people to visualize its application.
Surprisingly it was the Kalasa Rangoli that got sold off the fastest, followed by the Lamp Rangoli. Unlike Thompson Reuters stall, where Quilled magnets got sold off at the last!!
It was interesting to see, some men getting confused of what each thing was J. And some of them, who intended to help, asked me to just pick something for them :-).
By end of the event, we sold about 2k worth articles and got 1k worth order!!
