We can create beautiful rangolis with small dot grids. The step-by-step images show how to do it. We can draw them for our daily rangoli or for festivals like Sankranthi or Ugadi if we are looking for small designs. Rangoli designs are created by me usually in the afternoon, after lunch.
There is invariably a notebook and pen on the centre table.
When it is time for old film songs on the radio. Yes, I still use a radio for listening to songs. With the advancement in technology, we discard so many things. The use of the transistor radio was realised during the 2015 floods in Chennai. There was no electricity for few days and consequently all mobiles had no charge.
We used to get the latest news and updates on the situation in Chennai.

When we were in school it was LKG, UGK to start with. When my children went to school it started from Pre KG. My husband asked the principal "Why Pre KG" She replied that families have become nuclear, so schools now perform the duties of the grandmother who taught children songs, crafts, dance and told stories from our epics.
Similarly, I also think I am like my grandmother who taught us kolam. I share these designs (most of the kolangal are created by me including the one in this post) for the subsequent generations to save, practice and handover to their children. It even a few do it my purpose will be served. So, I request you share my blog within your circles so that those interested may take a look.
So far as I am concerned, apart from my mother, grandmother, I learnt how to draw thin lines, how to place dots and the art of drawing double line rangoli designs from my elder sister, Hema who currently resides in Nagpur. She is nine years elder to me. Creativity is mine. Whenever I remind her of being my guru, she says "Yes I taught you the basics, but you developed a lot on your own right from your teenage".
