Time again for some hand embroidery

Image
Hi Friends, Its time again for me to show you one of the embroidery that I finished today. I love spending time on this and feel relaxed. But, yes doing lot of embroidery at one go is not very easy task. Moreover, for me I do not find adequate time to pursue this hobby regularly. But, still my love for this makes me come back and complete the work that I start once. This one took me more than a month and half may be. But, the end result is something that I like the most. I have used, sprial trellis sticth, stem stitch, Kamal Kadhai, lazy daizy, bullion knots and twisted running stitch for this. Have a look and let me know if you have any suggestions.

Too many Gods and Goddess

Image
Hi Readers, I am writing this article for those, who get easily confused as to which God or Goddesses to follow. It happens in Hinduism, where we have 33 crore God and Goddesses. I remember as I child, I saw my parents worship, Jagannath and Sarala(one form of Mother goddess Durga). They believed in these two and prayed to them. I followed the same and latter developed faith towards Hanuman the immortal God. By the time I was in college, I had developed faith in Ganesha. When I started working, I started believing in Lakshmi. Slowly and gradually the list kept on increasing. Now, I have reached a point, where I do not get enough time to recite all the Sloka's of all deity. I have divided the sloka's as per different days. Many a times, few question erupted in my mind. God is one as per Gita. Be it Shiva, Vishnu or Mata, finally they commence into one. He is Nirakar or does not have any form. That is the reason why in my school Dayananda Anglo Vedic Public School, we used t...

Indian Culture

Hi Readers, Today, I am going to put my views on our tradition and culture. I do not mean to explain our tradition but yes, somehow I really feel good when I here some compliments about it from people of other country. Working in MNC's we get to know people from other parts of our planet EARTH. When I joined my present organization, I got to directly work with people from US. I met some of them and talk to them quiet often. So, in these couple of years, I have known about their tradition and culture and have shared our culture and tradition with them. It makes me feel good, when my colleague inquires for some good Indian movie with subtitles that she can watch. I like to describe and share photos that would help them understand Indian culture. But, its not at all easy task. We have so many different and distinct tradition in India, that makes us so very colorful. My colleague likes Ganesha and she managed to get a statue of Ganesha from India. Is not it lovely. ...
