<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">Mandala is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates to mean
“circle” or “center.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">We often associate the word mandala with the circular designs
that have repeating colors, shapes, and patterns radiating from the center.
Mandalas can be precise, carefully measured, geometric, and perfectly
symmetrical, or in contrast, free flowing, organic, and asymmetrical.
Mandalas are often drawn in circles but they can also be drawn in squares.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #FEFEFE; margin-bottom: 19.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #FEFEFE; margin-bottom: 19.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Intricate geometric compositions created on a base of a circle,
known as mandalas, have a deep spiritual meaning in Hinduism and Buddhism. They
represent the whole of the universe, and they can be used as an exercise or for
meditation.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I read somewhere that drawing Mandalas (basically, geometric
patterned shapes/designs) could be a good way of coping with stress and
anxiety. Having a bit of a creative bent, I thought I’d give it a try. A little
art therapy is good for anybody, right? So I did checked some designs on the
Internet and took to doodling mandalas most often when I was watching T.V or
doing some other mindless task that had me sitting down.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Initially it looked very difficult to create this art, but
once I sat to create it, found it very interesting and intriguing.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I
had mixed results with this activity. On one hand, I think it can be useful to
get your mind off things because you’re focused on creating your pattern. It
gives you something neutral to concentrate on. This is handy if you’re feeling
a bit anxious! Relieves stress, one can go on and on meditatively. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> On the other hand, I’m not sure it’s a
great task as after creating 2-3 Mandalas I realised that I am creating almost
the same types of Mandala over and again with little variation. But realised I
need to try more variations, types, styles colouring etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Colouring is also pretty popular these days
as a way of dealing with stress and anxiety; maybe I should target that for
next time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Most
important thing is not to finish the task but to enjoy while creating it. But
those who enjoy it go into meditative state of mind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 13.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One
can download Mandala Templates and can colour them. Sharing with you some
beautiful sites / blogs from where you can download the templates. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two
years back in 2014 my company had a massive recruitment drive for hiring almost
200 Management Graduates. So in the process have visited quite a few places in
the country for the Campus Recruitment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">One
of the campuses we visited was Pondicherry University. We drove down from
Chennai and reached the campus by 10.00 am. The Students were waiting for us.
Wasting no time we started with the Interviewing process. It took us some time
to interview 35-40 students. Once the process was finished we plan to leave the
campus immediately. The placement co-ordinator insisted a lot to have lunch
with them but we left the Campus as soon as the Interviewing process was completed.
We directly headed towards Auroville. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

make a booking in advance (around 2 days), in order to visit the Matrimandir.
So since we have not made any bookings we thought of having a look from outside.
We had to walk from the Visitor Centre to the Matrimandir. <span style="background: white;">It is a
pleasant 1km walk from the visitor's centre, along wooded paths and past an
astonishing banyan tree.</span> <span style="background: white;"> Once we started walking we found that the
place is full of calmness and serenity.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Posting this post nearly after 2 and half years. Was busy with my little one who have turned 3 years last month. So was almost on a break. Not that I did not do anything. To be honest yes, did not do much on art and craft. Made a painting on canvas, which was spoiled by my little one while I was giving a finishing touch. She wanted to paint on the same canvas while I was away to attend a phone call and when I come back and to my surprise the canvas was filled with all different colors. So BOOOOOOM...... it goes. So decided that will not leave my painting book anywhere here and there.....</span></span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></h4>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Completed this painting some days back. Almost took 2 months to complete. Used to do when the little one is off to sleep which is always after 11.30 PM - 12.00 and then you are so tired to do anything. <b>Better late then never.</b></span></h4>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This painting was inspired by <a href="http://www.trishlajain.com/artwork_gallery.html" target="_blank">Trishla Jain</a>. I have attended her exhibition in Mumbai in February 2012. Her art is very colourful & vibrant. Loved every bit of the exhibition. While I was browsing thru her art work along with my friend we came across many celebrities. Among them were Neeta Ambani, Sunil Shetty, Akshay Kumar.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Abstract art</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> can be a painting or sculpture that does not depict a
person, place or thing in the natural world. The Abstract art is a collection
of meaningless shapes and colors thrown onto a canvas. In such art the viewer
interprets its meaning for him/herself. It can be a test of someone’s
interpretation skills. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Abstract art is non-objective,
non-representational, and nonfigurative. Abstract art is one without a recognizable
subject, one which doesn't relate to anything external or try to "look
like" something. Instead the colour and form is the subject of the
abstract painting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This form of art is Non realistic. Like any
other traditional art where the artist visualizes what he / she wants to
capture, in this art form there is no intentional visualization. The artist may
start creating artwork without realizing the end result. This kind of art can
be perceived in many ways depending on the interpersonal skills / creativity of
the viewer. Many a times the audience is not able to understand what the artist
is trying to convey. It is up to the viewer to perceive in their own way. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to create a Funky Abstract
Style with bold colours, bright shapes and intricate designs! The shape was
created spontaneously. I then painted in various shapes, one color at a time.
For instance, first I painted in all the yellow shapes. Then all the orange
shapes, then dark pink, light pink, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I strive to create a balanced variety of
shapes and colors. The idea is that the different shapes and placement of
colors will cause the viewer's eyes to bounce around the canvas. In this way I
seek to create a sense of movement and energy in this funky artwork. So I
continue painting in these shapes until the white canvas is entirely covered. </span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The repetitive designs start to form funky,
sometimes intricate patterns.
There are many different shapes and colors, but there is an overall feeling of <b>balance
</b>and<b> harmony. </b>I named this
Painting as <b>Teenager</b>. A teenager is a confluence of passion,
emotion, feelings, and distractions. A
teenager keeps questioning and is always mysterious about the future. Aggression in teenager is represented in the
red border. Red is associated with aggression. When I started this painting I
was unaware of the end result.</span><span style="font-family: "century gothic" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Diwali is one of my favorite festival with lights and sparkle in every nook and corner. There is so much to do in so little time, at least for the working ladies, cleaning, shopping, decorating, making dishes etc. I always feel Diwali without preparing sweets and snack is incomplete. Of course now a days one gets everything from market but making at home for Diwali is something different. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hope you all had a great time with your family and friends during this festive season. I had a great time. Sharing with you the lovely moments I had during Diwali.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;">After thinking a lot I decided to do Warli Painting. I started with the rough draft of the painting and thought I can complete it in a day or two. But I took almost 5 days to complete this painting. Of course during my spare time. Medium used is canvas, spray paint & Acrylic paint.</span></span></div><br />

<div style="color: purple; text-align: justify;">
Well I am not going to talk about the Raksha Bandhan, we all know its a festival of bond of protection celebrated between brother and sister. The central ceremony involves the tying of a rakhi (sacred
thread) by a sister on her brother's wrist. This symbolizes the sister's
love and prayers for her brother's well-being, and the brother's
lifelong vow to protect her.<br />
<br />
This year I wanted to do something different for my younger brother, who is the crazy, irritating but my sweetest brother. Brother is a friend given by nature which I realized after marriage. I can share all my problems with him. So this year I decided to make Rakhi for my brother. I also purchased rakhi from the market and gave him option to choose, which I normally do every year. I normally give a option of 2-3 rakhis for my brother to choose. Undoubtedly, this year my brother went for the rakhi made by me. He really loved and told everyone in the office that the rakhi he is wearing is made by me. </div>

Dimpy I am really proud of you and you are the best brother on this earth.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Glass paintings are popular artifacts. It
involves the use of vibrant synthetic colors on glass as a base. The overall
appeal of glass and semi-transparent paints together provide an ethereal
look. Glass painting is a drawing
painted on the inside surface of transparent glass, executed with oil and
hard resin or with watercolor and gum on glass sheets. The effect is one of
stunning clarity and rich color ideally serving as a connoisseur's delight. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />I have made these paintings few years back and these are hung in my corridor.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>

Its been ages that I have posted anything. There is lot to talk about. I have attended a Indiblogger meet at Trident. The meet was organized by Stayfree, UNICEF and Indiblogger. The meet was for the women bloggers only. The meet was about Women for change.This was my first blogger meet. The meet was very interesting and insightful. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", "sans-serif";"><span style="color: purple;">Recently I found some twine or known as Sutli in Hindi<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in my house.

Its recommend to start circling from the bottom of the jar / bottle. I used glue about every ½ inch turn around the bottle.

Beautifully done, it is an interactive installation which tries to spread the message of the condition of under nourishment in the country and how we can fight it by just contributing a little.</span><br />

It’s so difficult to think of a day without TV. It has become a part of our life and we think we cannot live without it. For some,it’s an addiction.

</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: purple;">The concept of No TV Day is interesting because thinking about a day without TV and hanging around with friends makes us curious about how we will manage to spend the 24 hours.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />

In fact, in doing so, you might miss an hour of a serial with high melodrama and captivating swirl of images. But, how many of us realize that we just do not stop watching TV once our favorite program is done for the day?</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><br />

But this quirky water body doesn't retain its size throughout the year. In the dry season, the lake drains out back in the river and shrinks. But in the wet season, fed by the river and the rains it swells, nearly five times in size, to a whopping approximate 12,000 square kilometers informed our Khmer Guide. In the swell, the silt gets deposited on the floodlands. During the dry season when the lake is low, the buildings in the villages seem to soar atop their 6-meter stilts exposed by the lack of water. At this time of year many of the villagers move out onto the lake and build temporary houses. The most important profession of the people of Kompong Phluk is fishing based in shrimp harvesting. During the dry season the villagers become farmers and it is mainly rice fields.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

I love the festive mood, X-mas decoration everywhere. Office get together, games and gifts by Santa Claus. It is relaxing and enjoying. The weather is cool and in Mumbai it is not as cold as North. The malls are beautifully decoarated. You will notice the traffic is less compared to normal days. Reason : Most of the people avail their leaves and go out of the city. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">We normally like to go for offbeat place for our vacations. This time we went to Ho Chi Minh City in Veitnam & Siem Reap in Cambodia. </span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 115%;">Siem Reap is a beautiful and charming city. It is land of temples and most people come here to check out the temple of Ankor Wat. Angkor Wat is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on the planet. Made by the Khmer kings in a process that lasts almost 4 centuries, this magnificent area has been abandoned and hidden by the forest. Re-discovered by French about 150 years ago, Angkor Wat is ready to become one of the most visited archaeological and artistic sites on the planet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;">One must possess an admission pass (an 'Angkor Pass') to visit the temples and sites in the Angkor Archaeological Park. Passes may be purchased at the main entrance on the road to Angkor Wat. Passes are sold in one-day ($20), three-day ($40) and seven-day ($60) blocks that must be used on consecutive days. Photo taken on the spot with free of charge is required at time of purchase.</span></span></div>

Ankor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Ankor. Suryavarman II constructed Ankor Wat, Hindu Temple in the form of massive ‘temple mountain’ dedicated to Hindu God “Vishnu”</span></div>
