The weekend comes like manna from heaven to the inhabitants of urban India. Saturday and Sunday are the days when people look towards some change in their mechanical and stressful lives.
Fatigued minds and bodies wait for the weekend to recharge and rejuvenate. Some head out of the city, some chill at home while many make their way to the many shopping malls that dot the city, hoping to relieve their stress by shopping, catching a movie or just hanging around. This is a phenomenon and story of most, if not all of the major cities of India, and Bangalore is no exception.
A favorite haunt of weekend revelers in Bangalore is the Phoenix Market City in Whitefield. The place holds the promise of something fun and happening for the entire family. It has shopping, food, and entertainment for the adults as well as children.
Nilkamal Pillow Fight Championship
This Saturday and Sunday saw a special and unique experience awaiting visitors, young and old alike. This was a Pillow Fight championship that was organized by renowned brand in furniture and mattresses Nilkamal Ltd. Nilkamal is a well known and a trusted name in Home furnishings in India.
A ring, very similar to a boxing ring occupied center stage. The ring was filled with the Nilkamal range of mattresses and pillows.
Excitement rent the air as ‘opponents’ dueled, going after each other, not with hammer and tongs, but soft pillows.
Small kids, barely able to walk without falling tried their hand at pillow fighting and gave an exhibition of aggression that belied their years. Sisters gave vent to their sibling rivalry through the soft touch of the pillows.
Suppressed emotions came to the fore as Mothers-In-Law and Daughters-In-Law wielded the pillows expertly like rolling pins. Husbands and wives took up their pillows to fight it out to the end in full public glare.
A young couple decided to test each other’s fighting and survival capabilities ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Whatever the motivation, whatever the frustration, without hesitation, each and every one of the Pillow Fighters had a whale of a time. They attacked, they dodged, and they feigned, much to the glee and applause of the audience.
It was a fun evening for all and something that made the day a truly exciting one. There were goodies for all the winners and everyone went home with their moods elevated, with a feeling of having had a great time.
The Pillow fight drew people in large numbers who were fascinated by the novel experience. The bold and the adventurous came forward to try their pillow fighting prowess, as multitudes cheered from around the ring as well as from the next level where they had a vantage view.
The mattresses and pillows which were displayed near the Pillow Fight ring looked really inviting and comfortable and we had a ringside view of the pillow fights from here.
Thanks to Nilkamal, a company whose history dates back to the year 1934, people stole moments of fun and made indelible memories to carry home.

Hold up, a pillow fight?! Wow! I’ve always wanted to try this. Call me childish but really, I’ve never had a pajama party before (where most pillowfights occur) and I’ve always fantasied about doing it complete with flying feather stuffing from the pillows haha…
I’ve never heard of Nilkamal before, I wonder if they distribute in the Philippines. I hope there’d be a similar activity in any of the malls here and I’d probably join in the fun.
Haha, how fun! This would be interesting to try out. I don’t think our mall does anything like this.
What an amazing (and hilarious, I’m sure) way to spend an afternoon! My daughters would totally love something like that! I wonder if there’s anywhere local to my family that does that sort of thing …
Oh my that looks like so much fun! I haven’t had a pillow fight since I was a little kid.
It definitely looks like a lot of fun! I think it’s awesome to be part of an event like this! Smart marketing move from Nilkamal, for sure!
Wow, never seen this in the USA before! This looks really fun to let stress out and get some exercise at the same time LOL.
No way is this a thing!?!?!?! This is CRAZY and also so awesome! I feel this would be the perfect way to release some happy endorphins!! who needs jogging? ha! amazing!
Ahah this is so funny!
I must try this kind of travel!
Oh wow, that’s a fun event. I used to love pillow fights as a child and I’d have a blast participating in this one.
Thats a great way to sell some pillows. I gotta give up to the person who came up with the idea.
Oh wow! This looks so much fun!! Reminds me of my childhood but I also remember that they can be so painful!
Haha.. Can’t believe there really is a pillow fight championship. It should be fun.
I thought us Finns and our air guitar competitions were quirky but this is ace! Love it!
