Winner

My grandmother teaching her first grandchild (me) harmonium
Winners can never become losers. Nobody deserves to be called as a "loser". Everybody is a "winner" in their lives, in one way or the other.

The people who call others as "losers" say that with only one intention and that is to bring down others confidence. So, it is very important for everybody not to pay attention to such absurd sayings. These people who call others as "losers" can only be termed as cowards.

Winners are the people who do their duty assigned to them as human beings (Karma). A winner is an achiever of goals set ahead of him/her without harming or hurting anybody else. I have become a winner even though some people called me a loser (Mainly because I'm not stinking rich!)

I felt like a winner when my paintings were appreciated by a celebrity, when I completed my graduation and post graduation, when I took care of my grandmother in her last stages ( I was 10 yrs old), when I showed atleast one trophy to my grandfather every year till his death in 2004, when my mom bought me a walkman with her first salary and so many more....I've been a winner throughout!!

    You are so right Jahnavi, everybody is a winner if you think about it your way. In 77 years I have had many such moments but one that stands out, for some reason, is the day I passed my driving test.

    We do follow the zodiac, sort of, in this part of the world. An Australian friend drew up a chart for me a couple of years ago.

Zodiac signs

Zodiac signs' dictionary meaning is: "an imaginary area of the sky containing the positions of the sun, the moon and the main planets, divided into 12 equal parts, named after 12 groups of stars. It is interesting to see how these stars effect the life of each individual living on Earth. This study of stars is an ancient science which rises curiosity in everyone. The study depends on the date of birth of the individual in the western countries and on the birth star in the Hindu astrology. The zodiac signs plays a vital role in match making and other aspects in Indian arranged marriage. Some people have strong beliefs in the forecast of these zodiac signs. However I do not believe in the predictions of the zodiac signs :) Jahnavi Participating in A to Z challenge

Bangles and Bracelets

Bangles are one of the most attractive and beautiful jewellery that I have seen. Having born and brought up in South India, I have seen almost all women wearing bangles. Bangles and Bracelets are auspicious and also very trending in the fashion industry now. Bangles are enchanting and are worn with style by women for special ocassions these days. There are several types of bangles in India but the ones that I have come across in Mysore and Bangalore are the single cylindrical shaped bracelet called kadaga which is usually made of silver, Glass bangles usually in the colors red and green , Gold bangles with various designs ( my favorite is the pepper corn design) , Gold bangles studded with diamonds and wooden bangles which are painted with designs. The kadagas are now mostly worn in the village areas compared to the cities like Mysore and Bangalore. The wooden bangles made in channapatna is popular amongst young girls. All these bangles are round in shape whereas the modern ba...

Vintage letters

Vintage letters are treasures for me. The art of writing letters was in practise since 300 A.D. After 16th century writing letters became an art. Letters were not just used for communication but it became an art also. The design of the letter took a uniform design when the British came to India and started ruling over. Even to this day in some villages of India, the post man or the teachers of the school should open the letter and read it. Today,some vintage letters are preserved in the families, in the Government offices, Parliaments and the collectors who fancy collecting vintage letters. I have preserved letters from Great grandfather and my GrandFather.  I feel that these vintage letters are some sort of treasure that I have. Funniest part is, it takes a long time to come to the matter itself because the starting two- three sentences is to be polite enquiries and whereabouts of each other and ending the letter used to be with elegant words. I will post some pictures of the ...
