Here are the Glimpse…….

WM Logistics Indore

I-Aquarius Team Theme- “Nirbhaya”

Women in India-the better half of Indian society, today, are becoming the most vulnerable as far as their safety and security is concerned. We attempted to depict the same issue especially after the recent NIRBHAYA case and the burning issues in Uttar Pradesh.

Colors used were water based nontoxic, skin safe.

Black on the forehead represents the evil thoughts in society's mind, which needs to be eradicated.

White wide eyes depict the broad vision.

Spark in eyes in the shade of sun depicts the ray of hope and desire to bring the change.

Red tongue stimulates the blood thirst of goddess for devils.

Shades of blue on face with some black scars gives a mix image of human, having some humanity.

In addition, A small story which the participants narrated while, describing their piece of art.

A pregnant woman once asked her daughter, “What do you wish for - a brother or sister?” “A brother,” she replied. “Whom do you want him to resemble like?” inquired her mother. “Like Raavan,” she quipped. “You mustn't speak like that,” she chided her daughter gently. Her daughter innocently, though firmly, asked, “Why not maa? He sacrificed everything- his state, his lineage, his kingdom, his life- just to avenge his sister’s indignity. Even after picking up his enemy’s wife, he did not ever touch her. Every sister today needs a brother like him maa. 

II- Pisces Team Theme:  “Two Face”

The theme indicates two different faces of Human Being.

One is the Good face – the bright one –, which everyone wears in front of society – displaying charm, love, enthusiasm, pride and honor.

While at the same time, there is a hidden face – the dark one –, which they don’t display to everyone but have the grudge from inside – like hatred, anger, jealousy.

Golden is used to display the bright side because everyone tends to display themselves as perfect and pure as of gold.

While, the Blue is used for dark side, instead of black – because black represents complete darkness, but blue indicates the dark side with a ray of hope,

that even if there is darkness from inside, but it’s not complete dark, and everyone has some goodness from inside and everyone has the capability to vanish their

inner darkness with their will power. 

III-Capricorn Team Theme- “Why So Serious?”

They used this face painting competition to give Tribute to the late Heath Ledger Known as The Joker in the movie Dark knight.

Being The Villain in the movie he gave a very strong message to the community that life is meant to be lived happily and he always used a phrase “Why So Serious?”

There is an inspiration to it, because he acquired the scars, which involve child abuse and self-mutilation. Then in addition, he lived his life mocking his pain and agony, and chooses to smile sarcastically.

Message: Try to smile under any circumstances. “Smile is the curve which makes everything straight

IV- Aries Team Theme - “Save Water”

As water covers 70 percent of the Earth, but only 1% of it is clean and suitable for human consumption.

The rest is salt water (the kind you find in the ocean) or is permanently frozen and we can't drink it, wash with it, or use it to water plants.

As our population grows, more and more people are using up this limited resource.

Therefore, it is important that we use our water wisely and not waste it.

On the larger scale, saving water is important from the environmental standpoint because it increases the amount of useable water that is available overall.

Polluted water and saltwater are not only bad for humans to drink, but can damage crops and will even cause problems or grazing fields and trees as well.
