I really enjoy making Mehandhi. The entire process
is very satisfying – From designing the designs, trying the best to make it
look as perfect, at least appealing for that matter, as possible and finally
hoping that the color turns out be as dark/red as possible.
Around the age of 13years, I started to put
Mehandhi – on my hands as well as on others’. Since then, I have also wished
that someday someone else would put one in my hand. It had, however, remained a
dream until recently.
My mother and I had gone for shopping and
saw that the store was offering free Mehandhi Service as a part of Banaras Silk
Festival. I was overjoyed and decided to seize the opportunity. It was a very
simple and redundant design. But, I was totally excited!!
Such little joys make life, I guess J
Great and intricate designs. Greetings to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
DeleteNice. But I am not sure how women have the patience to stay with the mehandi for a few hours before washing it off. I mean, wouldn't they want to at least check FB or blog comments during that time? :P

Haha... Mayve we are not so addicted to FB and oter sites yet...
DeleteOr maybe, the joy of seeing the mehandhi at its darkest best is worth sacrificing a few this and that :P
Simply and neat. In childhood i too have got maruthani... just to see how dark we get and its only dots design.

ReplyDeleteI am an odd person, I like mehendi when it is still green and like to see it on others' hands rather than on my own :-) Would love to see your creations...
Then I think you are not odd but lucky!
DeleteAnother pretty piece from you,Satya.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rudra... Though the mehandhi is made by someone else.
