Ratham Rangoli

Rangoli-413

We have reached the end of our month long Rangoli festival season. 

Today Sun has  entered Makara or Capricorn- known as Makara Sankranti. So it is auspicious time for next six months.

Tomorrow and day after tomorrow we will be drawing only Ratham or Chariot rangolis. 

Hope you all are celebrating this festival with joy and happiness. These are tough times. What is ahead we don not know. We can only pray for better times.

Hope you like this rangoli.

Rangoli-400

Swans in Lotus Pond

This is my 400th Rangoli. Thank you all for motivating me to achieve this mile stone. Without your suggestions, comments and encouragement, I couldn't have achieved this. Hope you continue to encourage me in future as well.

Rangoli-400

21 dots 7 rows to 7 dots.

Swans are one of the beautiful creatures. They have a special place in Hinduism. Swan is known as Hamsa in Sanskrit and many Indian Languages. It is symbol of purity and Satvaguna. They are supposed to reside in Manasa Sarovar Lake which is sacred to Hindus. 

It is known as the Vahana of Goddess Saraswati- Goddess of wisdom, knowledge, music, art, speech, learning.

Swans are very beautiful and graceful. As an artist I am always fascinated by them. Whether it is sketching, or creating designs for rangolis or embroidery, Swans are always on my mind.

Hope you like this Rangoli.

Hello New Year

Hello Friends

Welcome to my blog.

Wish you all A Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Hope this year is much much better. I am sure we are all happy to say good bye to 2020 and welcome 2021. 

I think we can never forget the year 2020. What an year it was! Locked down for so many months now. It is kind of depressing and stifling.  Couldn't go out freely. couldn't  visit friends relatives or neighbors. No schools. No festivals. No celebrations. We did not step out of our home for the past many months. We are also not allowing any one into our home. 

I lost some of my friends, some of my relatives and mentors due to covid. It was really a very depressing year.

Then there were heavy rains for days together. It was really difficult.

This year despite being home bound, I couldn't concentrate on my blog. Not many posts. First because of Corona and then my and my moms health also had to be taken care of.  

I thought at least from December 15th I could start again with my Rangoli Posts. But  then a part of my computer crashed and all my data was in it. At first we thought we couldn't retrieve it. But slowly we are retrieving  the data as much as we can. But it is a very slow process and takes ages to retrieve even a small folder.

I don't know how much of my data I can retrieve. 

Apart from this, I had to conduct online classes for my students. This is not so easy as compared to regular classes. It took me some time to get adjusted to this. Apart from that one cannot gauge the reactions of the students as we do them face to face. Time is a limiting factor. Sudden power cuts or internet problems add to the woes. So this year I could not keep up with my schedule as there were delays.

Every year I make some New Year resolutions like all of you. Last year every thing went haywire. Nothing could be planned or done according to the schedule despite best efforts. 

I hope I can do something this year. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Have so much to do this year. But our movements are restricted because of Corona. 

Many people lost their jobs, and for those who are lucky even payments are not in full. So we have to spend very carefully. 

Hope the New Year brings us happiness.  Hope I can achieve what I want to do this year.

We can only Pray  and Hope for the best, that's all.
