Symbolic ritual welcoming Sankranti

Remember the colour and gaiety of Sankaranti living in independent houses, womanfolk used to compete putting colourful rangoli in front of their houses. But the luxury is not available for apartment dwellers, Kalyani barged onto neighbour's doorway to draw a decent rangoli (ముగ్గు).

A very happy new year

A very old adage and wisdom should be my resolution for the new year - “Count to ten before you speak, you can’t take back what’s already been uttered." Pausing before reacting creates space for passions to cool, civility to get its oxygen and wisdom quite possibly to find its wings. 

A Very happy and healthy new year to one and all.

ఓం సహనా వవతు సహనౌ భునక్తు 
సహవీర్యం కరవావహై 
తేజస్వి నా వధీతమస్తు మా విద్విషావహై 

ఓం శాంతి : శాంతి : శాంతి :
