Jhumka milaa re......

These traditional handcrafted ethnic ear rings from Rajasthan in India are made in time honoured fashion by ancient methods passed down by generations of jewelry makers.

Lovely 'lakh bangles' and jhumkhas are brought to me from Rajasthan exclusively for me.

Thank you ,Hema ! Loved every single piece .

Ohhhh! when did krishna reach here? Doesn't He seem to enjoy this new location ?

Krishna ,model for my photography !

Anywhere and everywhere

Deeply fallen in love with my krishna ,whynot -he agrees to all my ideas ,adjusts so beautifully that it is just impossible to ignore him.

 He  reminds of my friends affection (He came to my small home as a gift) and the set up gives me the satisfaction of being  Eco.friendly (read it as economical as well as ecological ).

Congratulations to me for not using any plastics but only natural elements ..... Metal, Sand ,Water , Water and natural plants.

Graceful Gajju Bhayya

Precious Simplicity

As the new year decision I have decided to simplify things and to cherish  the things I own .

We women are given a chance to display our talent on daily basis ,through rangoli. Yes, on daily basis,because in South India  'Muggu / Kolam is adaily activity. Men wont step out of the house until rangoli is drawn near the main entrance of the house.

Granny never allowed us to sit and draw rangoli.Acc. to her if u bend frontwards from your waist for sometime,it adds strength to yr waist and back. Perhaps that could be the reason our moms& grannies didnt get back pain like us.!!!

I tried to make a simple rangoli pattern in an aarthi thali and my Krishna added beauty to it. So turns my silly rangoli priceless.

Any idea,how much of thermocol is used to promote ECO-FRIENDLY  ideas???

Thanks to our ancestors for showing us the ecofriendly creativity .
