About Me

Hello friends,
Thanks a lot for visiting our space.Let me introduce ourselves to u all.I am Ramalingam, a retired executive officer from Salem Steel Plant ( SAIL).My wife Thiripura Sundhari is my home maker.I live at Salem(Tamilnadu)with my wife.My son Sendhil is married & settled in Bangalore.My daughter Rajeshwari is married & settled at Chennai.We have a lovely grand daughter of my son & handsome grandson of my daughter.We mostly spend time with them whenever possible.My daughter Rajeshwari & my Daughter-in-law Chitra are running food blogs namely Rak’s Kitchen & Chitra’s Food Book.I am happy they are doing a good job in publishing our family’s traditional recipes in their blogs.My wife is well versed in drawing kolam & it has become her favourite hobby.Actually we got married in 1977.My wife took the responsibility of running the family from my mother.She has taken care of my parents very well till their last breathe.As we were residing near the school we  used to provide our children  good  nutritious fresh lunch during their school days right from LKG TO HIGH SCHOOL.My wife looked after them well so that they attended classes regularly  & studied well.After our son's & daughter's marriage, we help them too in possible ways to run their family & they are looking after us very well.We started this Kolam blog based on my daughter & Dil's Suggestion.In our Hindu culture, there are different Kolams for different festivals.These are traditionally transferred from their mothers to their daughters.In this blog,we 'll provide all types of kolams drawn  by my wife in a detailed manner.I am not well versed in drawing patterns using software.So i will be just capturing my wife's drawings using my digital camera and share the same here.
Hope it will be useful for people who are interested in drawing kolams/Rangoli.Thanks for taking time to read about us.Keep visiting this blog.Have a nice day !

Thanks !
B.Ramalingam

  4. Hello uncle. I frequently visit n try recipes from ur daughter's blog rakskitchen n i follow ur dil's chitra's blog chitrasfoodbook too once in a while. Not only did their recipes n cooking inspire me but also i was inspired by such a close knit family they are. I really like the cute family stories that ur daughter raji shares. And i really admired that fact that all parents n parents in law n sis in law, co sisters, bros in law were forming such a friendship. That quality is really hard to find these days. I had a huge respect for u n aunty n ur family as a whole n now after reading abt aunty's love forbir parents, it brings tears in my eyes n am happy that such families still exist in our society. My mom herself was loved by her mother in law more than a daughter as she took gud care of my paati. When i got married , the lesson she gave me was to treat in laws equal to parents. I felt that hardly any family exists that inculcate such family values to their children esp daughters but after knowing abt ur family am really happy. Sorry for such a long boring comment but i have spoken my heart here

    2. Chivan is fire and parvati is water..sun is smiling now..chivan is protecting aathee sakthi but the inner, silent, intense, static n intact centre female sakthi is the powerful..but they can't work separately for creation..chivachakthee originated from tamizhnadu. Sun is a silent observer.
