COWS ARE COOL: LOVE ‘EM!

Cow Fashion Show
In India cows were treated as family members and never as pieces of meat. On festive occasions, cows would be decorated just as other family children. Some places in India, this tradition is still being practiced.
One such festive occasion is Sankranti. This year in Bangalore, Radio Mirchi, a popular Radio channel, presented a cow fashion show at the local ISKCON temple.
Ten teams of three each from colleges of Bangalore strove to dress up cows with themes varying from the basic ‘Gow Mata’ by the Sindhi College to an ‘Astronaut Theme’ from Seshadhripuram College, covering diverse subjects that included Indian bridal dress to global warming and eco-friendliness.
The team from Vogue Fashion Institute (VFI) was awarded the first prize for its “Beauty and the Beast’ theme. The first runner up was also a team from VFI with an ‘anti-plastic’ theme. The second runner-up was the “Astronaut Theme’. Many other colleges participated in the show.
The station had been announcing the contest on air for some time, and, of the twenty five teams that applied, ten were shortlisted based on innovativeness of the theme that they proposed.
