Ayurfest-2008 in City a success

 

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:

When Ayurfest-2008, the inter-ayurveda college youth festival,

concluded here on Tuesday, the shining stars were Mahesh G.Pillai, the

Kalaprathibha, and Drisyamol.T.P, the Kalathilakom. And the titles are

very special for them because it is the last edition of Ayurfest. Next

time onwards, there will be Medifest, integrating various medical

disciplines. Mahesh, final-year student of Vishnu Ayurveda College,

Shornur, stood first in folk dance, second in monoact and fancy dress.

Drisyamol, third-year student of Santhigiri Ayurveda College, Palakkad,

got first prizes for monoact and fancy dress and second for

mohiniyattom and folk dance. While Mahesh has been the first prize

winner in Kathakali and monoact in State school youth festivals (1998,

2000 and 2002), Drisyamol has been State school youth festival winner

in Ottanthullal from her Class VIII to Class XII. She has been the state-level Kathakali winner for three years and was the Calicut University Kalathilakom this year. ‘’We usually come face to face in most of the youth festivals,’’ they said. Drisyamol

is the younger sister of Vidyamol, who was the Kerala University

Kalathilakom in 2004. Interestingly, Mahesh was the Kalaprathibha in

Alappuzha district school youth festival when Vidya was the

Kalathilakom. Monoact competition was separate for male and female

contestants. Drisyamol presented Abhaya case in her monoact to win the

first prize and Mahesh recalled the real-life incident where a child

and dog were tied together, and grabbed the second prize. In fancy

dress, held together for male and female, Drisyamol presented the

Godhra train tragedy and Mahesh presented a freedom fighter. Government

Ayurveda College, Kannur, won the overall championship at Ayurfest with

104 points. Vaidyaratnam P.S.Varier Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, came

second and Pankajakasthuri Ayurveda College, Thiruvananthapuram, came

third. Mohammad Nisar of Government Ayurveda College,

Tripunithura, was adjudged Chitraprathibha and Divya K of

Pankajakasthuri Ayurveda College, was chosen Sargaprathibha.
