February was a lively month for our locality, filled with creativity and cultural celebrations. Two major events brought residents together, making it a time to remember.

The excitement began on February 8th with Global Art’s Hi Buddy Exhibition at their Neeladri Road campus. The exhibition featured over 50 artworks from children aged 5 to 15, displayed under different study levels. Visitors and parents could vote for their favorites while enjoying interactive games like a unique drawing challenge using only shapes and orientations as clues. Adding to the creative charm were hand-painted tattoos, handmade bookmarks, jewelry, and intricate mandala art—all crafted by the talented students.

The celebrations continued with Pongal festivities at Concorde Manhattans, spanning from February 14th to 16th. The festival kicked off with a rangoli competition, where participants of all ages decorated the entrance with colorful designs. On the 15th, a cultural fest and DJ night showcased vibrant music and dance performances, culminating in an energetic dance session led by choreographer Mohan Kumar. A highlight of the event was a beautiful recreation of a traditional village scene in the clubhouse, designed by the talented ladies of Concorde. The setup featured a bullock cart, colorful rangoli, and a charming hut, bringing the rustic charm of Pongal to life. The festivities concluded on Sunday with a traditional Pongal puja, the making of chakkara pongal in clay pots, and a delicious South Indian breakfast and thali lunch.

It was truly a month of art, culture, and celebration!
