20 October 2016 · 1 min read

Recently, Linkedin reminded me that it was the 7th work anniversary of Sankalp. Time definitely flies! 7 years have passed smoothly and today, we are all set to unveil the 12th Edition of Sankalp ‘Crafts’n Weaves’ at Kochi, in December.

The 12th Edition ‘Crafts’n Weaves’ will be showcasing a whole lot of unique products brought in by about 50 talented Women artists and entrepreneurs from various parts of state and beyond. There are products ranging from embroidered and hand worked designer sarees, stylish kurtis’, and other garments to handmade jewellery, home linen, bags, home decor, craft items, crochet work, terrariums, kidswear, and other stuff which may not be available commercially. A major attraction at the event will be yummy home cooked food, which includes cakes, cookies, chocolates, pickles, and a lot many other delicacies.

Kochi is a wonderful place filled with a whole lot of positive energy. I know people complain about the metro work, the noise, the pollution, the crowded roads, the traffic blocks, etc… but every time I drive to Kochi, i am engulfed by a positive energy which inspires and motivates me tremendously. I like Kochi. The people are warm and receptive, and very helpful in nature. As usual, like previous years, the Crafts’n Weaves will be held at the Rotary Balbhavan situated at Panampilly Nagar in Kochi. It certainly is one of the best locations in Kochi, and i must say, has been very lucky for us.

I know for sure that this event is going to be a super duper success and i already can visualize the happy, smiling, and contented faces of all the participants who would be going back with a happy heart and a heavy pocket… and that is one weight no one will complain about 🙂
