16th Dec 2011 | Flashmob cochin @ Oberon mall | Not Keralites, Not Tamilians, But Indians – NO HATE MATE

A flash mob in cochin …No way !! This was the reaction Mathew John and Sharath George Benny received when they first came up with the idea .

“Sharath and I wanted to do something on the mullaperiyar issue ” says Mathew , 23 Business Development manager at Equity Intelligence but the duo plowed on , and the result : ‘ A DHAMAKA’ of a flashmob performance at Oberon mall on December 16th Eve . Sharath , 23  followed his passion for photography and videography and started Innowaves Media  with Mathew and Ajay Nambiar .He also designed the tag line for the event , which read ” NO HATE MATE’  the flash mob was used as a platform to spread the message of staying united as Indians, even in times of crisis . We wanted to give the people perceptive of the issue , says Mathew and when the Flashmob in Mumbai happened  we felt that it would be the best medium to showcase our mesaage to our brothers in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and the rest of India.
Cicily Santhosh , 19 who took part in a flashmob cannot get over her excitement at becoming part of an event that will be a landmark of Cochin,” I was bad at dancing but the choreographer Abin made it really simple for all of us, making it an awesome experience > A total of 150+ people participated in the flashmob that showcased the message :
NOT KERALITES ; NOT TAMILIANS ;BUT INDIANS .The mesage and logo were displayed on handmade banners after the event .,even as the National Anthem played to emphasize the theme.

All in all , it was an evening that rocked Kochi , and an event that will serve as an inpiration to many!
