My Art

Here is my ART on the white board, which the company has provided us to make some good use of it......
Actually it was lying blank from so many months and I thought of using it to explore my hidden talents (not actually, I use it when I need something to scribble on to, inorder to keep me awake ;) Specially after Lunch......)
So though I am not that good a artist I would like to share my sketching with you....
I saw this cartoon on the internet and just sketched it on my board..... There are no colours on it since the colouring competion is has just been open, there are few team members who wait by my desk and color it when ever they get time....;)

Festival of Sun

Makar Sankranti is one of the most auspicious day for the Hindus. Sankranti means the day the Sun enters a new zodiac sign according to Hindu astrology.
Makar means Capricorn and Sankranti is transition. Transition of the Sun from Sagittarius to Capricorn is known as Makar Sankranti.
On Makar Sankranti day the Sun begins its ascendancy and journey into the Northern Hemisphere, and thus it signifies an event wherein the Gods seem to remind their children that 'Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya'. May you go higher & higher - to more & more Light and never to darkness..
In Maharashtra on the Sankranti day people exchange multi-colored tilguds made from til (sesame seeds) and sugar and til-laddus made from til and jaggery. While exchanging tilguls as tokens of goodwill people greet each other saying – ‘til-gul ghya, god god bola’ meaning ‘accept these tilguls and speak sweet words’. The under-lying thought in the exchange of tilguls is to forget the past ill-feelings and hostilities and resolve to speak sweetly and remain friends.

Since it was te first festival after I got married, I was suppose to wear a black saree with jewellery made of sesame seeds

We also make Rangoli's ( design made by a white powder ) in front of the house. This one was done by me......

We also have Mehendi on our hands ( designs made on hand with Heena).... This one is made by me.. it took me 2 hrs to make it

And check this out.......

Focus on all the wonderful things

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair.
There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose?
Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness,ignorance, smallness or insecurities, remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them.

What Tarot card are you?

Thanks to Marsha for sharing this

You Are Strength

You represent both fiery energy and steadfast will.You are innocent and naive - yet unafraid and undaunted.Perhaps you don't have the most powerful physical strength...But your mental powers make up for any amount of muscle. Your fortune: Lately, you have been a pillar of ethics and moral strength.And while things may be difficult, your faith in yourself will come through.You may need to conquer the animalistic nature of yourself or others, with gentle force.Although this may seem like the darkest hour for you, victory is near.

Know Your Future From Manalal

Last Sunday I happened to go for an exhibiton with my husband...... As we entered the exhibiton we found stalls of clothes, shoes, home artcles etc.. which did not excite us much.
So we moved ahead and enjoyed few rides on Giant Wheel and Columbus.......
Just as we were about to leave, we happened to see a tent.
A man was seated on a high stool and was shouting in the Mike " Come and see Manalal tell your future, Come get to know your future in just Rs 5"
We thought of giving it a try and entered in the tent. There were many people just like us waiting for their future to be revealed by so called Manalal.......
As we waited patiently, Manlal entered the tent. We all were shocked to see the so called Manalal who was going to tell our future was a DONKEY. He was accompanied by his master (Sorry dont know his name) .
So the show began..........
Manalal took 3 -4 rounds in the tent and as per his master he was just getting introduced to each one of us . So we can call this an "Introduction Round" ;)
Then what was followed was a series of question for Manalal, thorugh which he can prove his intellectual capabilities.
his Master said "So lets start Manalal"
Master: Tell me Manalal who is the youngest child in this group
Manalal the Donkey takes few rounds and stops in front of a child, who indeed was the youngest of the crowd
Master: Tell me Manalal which girl will get a good house and good inlaws
Manalal as usual takes few roun ds and stops in front of a girl child. Seeing this the parents of the girl are thrilled and happy, cause their little girls future is secured :)
Master: Tell me Manalal which child will serve his parents after he grows up and bring glory to their family.
Manalal does his rituals and stands in front of a boy........ (Indeed Manalal u made his parents feel proud;) )
Master:Tell me Manalal which person amongst the crowd is very generous
And now Manalal came and stood in front of my husband...;)
Master: tell me Manalal which is the lady who fights on small things
Manalal was smart enough to point to one lady........
Master: Tell me who is the lady who speaks a lot and works little
Atlast Manalal came and stood in front of me (I was cursing him why he didnt come when good questions were asked?? Probably I should have bribed him before the show ;) )
Master: Tell me which is the person who's Mustache attracted you. (all the while I was thinking does Mustache attract donkeys??? )
But I guess it does attract Manalal cause he went and stood in front of the person who's Mustache attracted him............hahahahaha
And this way the show ended.
People came out of the tent feeling happy that Manalal said good about them, some felt Sad that he didnt come to them at all... (Better luck next time)...... but me and Ram could not control our laughter........
If only Donkeys could tell future I guess everyone would be owning one by now........ :)
I wish I could give them an award for their Innovative Business Skills

Spread Love

I believe in it and I try to follow it everyday.........


In this world when everything is so Uncertain, the only thing that we have is this moment.
We often Dream about tomorrow and worry about yesterday,
but what we forget is that the present is passing away.......
If only each one of us could spread happiness around us, this world would be a much better place.
