Heritage Week ‘21 with India Lost & Found

You know, I don’t really do much looking inside me when I’m working on a project. Whatever I am becomes what the film is. But I change; you change. – Steven Spielberg

To me, Heritage Week was more than just an event. It was a journey. An experience that was insightful and enriching. We celebrated Heritage Week from the 11th to the 18th of April, the latter being World Heritage Day. You may have participated in the event or viewed our stories and if you haven’t yet already, check out our Instagram story highlights to catch up! And while you’re at it, check out Museums with ILF, another event hosted by us shortly after!

World Heritage Day is a day about preserving human heritage, diversity and vulnerability of the world’s built monuments and heritage sites. Also, the efforts required to protect and conserve it and to draw attention towards it. We all know that Ancient buildings and monuments are an asset for us and for the world. Therefore, World Heritage Day is a collective effort of the communities in the world to do the needful. This day maintains the cultural legacy and makes people think about its susceptibility. A day for us to celebrate Heritage.

Now, it’s time for me to take you through what went down behind the scenes! Our first step was planning and execution. All heads brainstormed and decided how we wanted the week to pan out. Each department head decided to pick a particular day to contribute to which would be showcased on our Instagram and Facebook pages. Each day, a department would take over; from fun mini games to interactive sessions, it was incredible.

Our goal was simple- we wanted to create content for our wonderful and supportive audience by celebrating our Heritage. Watching and interacting with our audience and fellow history enthusiasts was exhilarating. For us, it wasn’t just about the numbers but the feeling it evoked within every one of us.

Moreover, I loved working with our core team. It was when we truly bonded and I got to know them better, beyond our workspace. The week wouldn’t have been possible without our talented graphic designers from the Social Media team, Ruju and Hetvi and video editor Vedant. I’ll always appreciate you and the hard work you’ve put into this. Cheers guys!

To my dearest fellow heads, Mimi, Wink, Man, Sukh, Angi, Khus, Amu, Vee and Rad, this one’s for you.

Hi, I’m Aashna Kapoor …

Hi folks! Your fellow Social Media-holic here 😉 or the face behind ILF’s Socials? Your pick! Your regular Second Year student by day, history buff and ILF’s Surfboard Supervisor by night. Spontaneous, outgoing, eccentric are some of the key traits my closest have used to describe me (and I don’t deny it!). Being the Social Media and Graphic Design Manager at ILF was a truly enriching experience and will forever be grateful for the opportunities presented to me.
