Rangoli

Rangoli Competition on 'Kanada Rajyotsav'at Nov 12 '10 at Tata Consultancy Services. Participate is more important than winning, perfect statement because we came First from Last. But even then m proud , dt ask me y...might be driving force for the next time to do good will be the reason....

It was a time when i was sad that i was not a able to dance for kanada rajyotsav at my office, so thought would buck up for something else, that's when rangoli competition jumped up. Why not try that!
Last time when I was in college , eng, i and my 2 best frnds had done ganapathi which went very well. But ya we did nt win because ganapthi turned up writing urdu...this story i feel will specify later, or els only in person because i was the one to mess. But this time i thought we will give more better oppurtunity to ourself and win

Ofcourse my best frnds where nt around , but caught my frnd/ colleage for it

But the sad part is on thusday we were so busy , we were nt able concentrate much on the rangoli that which we were to imprint in our office premises ,and only on friday morning at 10 30 when the competition started we realised we didnt get papers/ bowls to collect different rangoli powders. Also in this mess we realised the powder which we got is nt the normal ones but the ones which is very slippery. These powders required sand / salt mixing :(

Then came the 2 other girls whom we had called for colouring, to chase them to shop, to get the different type of powder and we 2 adjusting/ we can say literly borrowing from left and right contestent for that white powder.

Also for the first time i used removable marker for putting dots and connecting them


Later when the other girls reached it was only 20 min remaining for the competition time to end, and it was  like Indian cricket team batting at last 2 overs, we girls tried all sort of permutation and combination and landed up with the one which you are seeing in the pic.

I had told the girls , we need to come First , Ya we came from the last of-course

About the Rangoli : Its 27 *27 which has 4 swans with 4 sided designs of which we did only 2 left and right. Top and bottom we removed becuase of scarsity of time. Also as for kanada rajyotsav we planned on 8 kites all around it, of which only one we have done at one extreme side representing karnataka flag colors ( red and yellow )

Just dt see our rangoli ....also read/feel the part in which we went from a period of disappointment on the first 5 min starting and till the end where there was exicitment to end the rangoli even when we know we are the last

We Hope to make you please with better rangoli next time for sure, but right now.....:)

Realised : Even to stand last,  we need to try.
Hence i understand that to fail an exam or to fail in life we need to try as much we need to stand first, even thou both follows different route :P
