Hi everybody,

Wish you all a very happy Pongal! Have fun checking out the Pongal special Rangolis and Kolams!

Loved ones. They help us with the ins and outs of life, sometimes almost on a daily basis. Yet there are times when we don't thank them enough and tend to take them for granted! I have realized this from time to time and have changed the way I deal with certain aspects of my life. But only yesterday did I come to know that I've not paid much attention to the kind of help that some of our iKolam members have been receiving from their sons and daughters.

Happy New Year!

Wish you all a happy, healthy and a prosperous new year!

Hi everyone, we're back from our little trip. I hope you all had a good time celebrating Christmas holidays with your friends and family. I'm done uploading everyone's rangolis. It was a long queue, but a very colorful and a fruitful one! Enjoy!

Have a joyful christmas everyone!!

We're off for a small break...and will be back in three days.

Wish you all a happy Karthigai! Please take a look at the bottom of the page for an animated version of a Karthigai kolam (you may have to click twice on the left most square button to get it going). I've included a Puffed-balls recipe at the request of a newly married friend/ikolam member.

Generally Thankgiving is not associated with any gods or godesses. Although the "Thanksgiving festival" is American by tradition, it is celebrated by Americans and the immigrants. It is a day to be thankful for all the blessings that had been bestowed upon us, both as individuals as well as a family.

Hi everybody, I'm back from my so called "break". Thank you for your kind comments.

When I posted that I'm out in a break...what I meant was that I was switching hats, it was time for me to stop procrastinating on finishing up one of my other projects. I put the kitty picture in there, just because it was cute, and also because that's what I would've liked to do instead of spending time on the other project

It is nice to be back at ikolam, and I've enjoyed uploading all of the new rangolis that were sent in. Thank you all.
