Easy rangoli designs - beginners

Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate . Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star with two inverted triangles.   ...

YouTube Silver button price less

What is the YouTube silver button price - it is price less for me !

Two years back I shared my experience in posting rangoli on YouTube.   As a recap ,  I am a traditional home maker from India .  

After two decades as a home maker I wanted to do some thing, achieve something. 

My husband gave me the idea of having a blog for rangoli and my son suggested that I upload rangoli videos on YouTube.

I had my first email ( you read  it right , my first account in 2012 )  .  Using the account I started a blog and started posting rangoli.

 Then I started posting some amateurish videos on YouTube with rangoli  or kolam as the theme.  

In 2015 I received an email from YouTube asking me to share my mobile number because they wanted to discuss with me.  

After checking that the email was actually from YouTube I mailed my number.   They were surprised that my Channel was becoming popular though only my hand was visible in my videos. 

They were kind enough to invite me to the inauguration of YouTube Space in Mumbai in December 2015,  the first of its kind in Asia. 

I understand that I am one of the selected few invited for the inauguration.  

Recently I had a video call with my manager at YouTube.  During our discussion , she told me that my Channel is a respected channel.

This is the greatest honour I have received so far.  The first , an invitation to Mumbai and the second of course the Silver play button.

After starting with rangoli based on viewers requests,  I occasionally upload videos on home  made recipes,  Puja related videos also.  There are lots of requests for Pooja procedures also.

In this letter she says that "you do it because you have a drive to create and share " and also because the creator found an audience who likes his/her content.  So the honour "respected channel" is because of my viewers . I am very thankful and indebted to them
