A general Rant and lot of following up.

Its been a long time escape from my blog. MIA mainly because of the technical glitches. Okay now to get to the fact lets see whats happening on my side of the world that I have to share. I've been busy with home, work and other miscellaneous activities.

A lot of shopping, a lot of cooking, and some time spent on painting - Time is just wading away. With Nagpanchami marking the start on the festivals in India have been busy with a lot of fun filled activities.

Some highlights to mention from the missing period:

1. Participation in Painting competition in Office and winning of course. Here is a glimpse of what I painted.

2. Participating in pookalam(Rangoli with Flowers) for the Onam celebrations - A team effort shown below.
Bad luck as this did not win the prize though got a special mention by a lot of co-workers.:(


At home have been cooking and baking a lot of things. You can visit my food blog for some updates.

I have not forgotten my other hobbies - photography, painting and nail art. Have been able to spend some time here and there doing the best I can. Here are stuff to prove that am still on my toes doing things that interests me. I am making all the effort to revive the same enthusiasm and energy into my blogging activity. Wish me luck on this innings too.









Meanwhile I thank all those readers who have been sending in emails to check on me. Everything is fine on my side. Just that had been lazy to turn attention here and also a part of blame goes to all the technical glitch preventing me to get into my blog.

Please excuse me if I haven't visited your blog in a long time. I have too much to catch up on and will definitely do so here on.

ರಂಗೋಲಿ!


ತಂಪಾದ ಮುಂಜಾನೆ
ಮಂಜು ಬೀಳೋ ಸದ್ದಿನಲಿ
ಕೇಳಿಸಿದೆ ನನ್ನಯ ಹೆಸರು
ನಿನ್ನದೇ ದನಿಯಲಿ

ಪಿಸುಗುಡುತ ಮಾತೊಂದ
ಕಿವಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಇಟ್ಟ ಹಾಗೆ
ಇಬ್ಬನಿಯ ಒಂದು ಹನಿ
ಎಲೆಯ ಮಡಿಲ ಸೇರಿದೆ

ಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆಯ ಗಿಡದಲ್ಲಿ
ಬಿಳಿ ಹಾಸಿಗೆ ಚೆಲ್ಲಿದ ಹಾಗೆ
ಮನವು ಶುಬ್ರ
ಬಿಳಿಯ ಹಾಳೆಯಾಗಿದೆ

ರಂಗು ರಂಗಿನ ರಂಗೋಲಿ
ದಿನಕರನಿಗೆ ಉದಯ ಹಾಡಿರಲು
ಹಕ್ಕಿಯ ಗುನುಗಿನ ಚಿಲಿಪಿಲಿಯಲಿ
ಹೊಸ ರಾಗ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದೆ

ಭತ್ತದ ತೆನೆ ಮೇಲೆ
ಚಿನ್ನದ ಕಿರಣ ನಲಿಯುತಿರಲು
ನನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣು ತೆರೆದಾಗ
ಸಂತೋಷದ ಸಾಗರ ಹರಿದಿದೆ
