They came, they saw, they laughed!

Remember the first post I wrote about us conquering our fears? Yeah well, turns out the fear is still thriving and happily sitting in our hearts and heads!

We set up our first stall EVER at Lady Shri Ram College's NSS Diwali Mela on October 21. What a day! We started out early (by our standards) and by 9 a.m. had the stall set up and running in a beautiful little spot at LSR's back lawns. The entire time, however we were lugging this heavy brick-sized lump of fear in the pits of our stomach! And for the first hour or so, it intensified as soon as we saw somebody walking over to our stall!



But gradually, girls began to stop, read the posters and laugh and I now know there is nothing better than that. Sure, the sales do cheer one up immensely but the best part of the day was those brief moments when somebody would walk past, mind not really focussed on us or our stall, then read one of the posters and walk back a few steps to come over and read the poster properly and start guffawing! The lump of fear disappeared soon after and I was on cloud 9 right from then on. and am still floating somewhere between there and the ground!

We interacted with a lot of people and took valuable feedback and ideas from them. The idea behind this stall was to see how everybody, young and old alike respond to the posters. The stint at LSR has helped us believe that we can make something good from this.

My day was further made when I got a call from the brilliant folks at Street Smart who agreed to take some of the posters at Woodstock School's (in Mussoorie) fair. There too, the posters were reportedly hugely popular and had people laughing their heads off.

So to everybody who attended the Diwali Mela and who shared a laugh with us, a BIG thank you. My mind has been racing with new ideas and designs since that time. We we far, far away from perfect of course and with your suggestions and inputs, we will create better stuff that you will love. Creative frames will always be available now and new designs every few days (Don't count on that thought, I may not be able to stand up to the challenge)!

We are coming out with calendars soon, so please let us know what design and size would you want.
