Sudha maam I second all that Anirudh has on his wishlist ... I think it would be better if it catered so that you also are free and the catering fee distributed among all members attending it ... this is just my opinion ... I am eagerly looking forward to being a spectator to the lovely happenings that are going to take place

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

Anirudh and Pushpa maam, thanks for reply and both of your suggestions is really very good. Let us see the other members opinion and come to a decision. If you have any party ideas also you are most welcome to discuss.

Sudha, nice that you are in full enthu in organising everything nowitself.Regarding food, I prefer catering, because all have to undertake travel of minimum 1 hour. Is the meet going to be in Banashankari?
Regarding technics and Trends I think each one will contribute their knowledge. You have omitted Jayanthy... a verygood Art teacher who can demo of her art work. Who is willing to teach Photoshop?
Reg Purni, she confirmrd that she will come if her health is Ok at that time.
I am put up in Kundalahalli, (near Marathahalli) on the way to ITPL, so 10.30 START WILL BE OK FOR ME. ajamma

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

Rajamma maam, The meeting will be held in Banashankari III stage as i have mailed the address to everyone. It is really gifted to have all the legends of kolam in the meet. I will be very happy to learn kolams in photoshop. I have sent all the mails to Jayanthi maam regarding the meet and also i take this opportunity to invite her also to the meet. Regardign the food we shall wait for the others opinion also. is it not ??????????

ikolam's humble requests: It would be nice to have a small demo by Ms.Pushpa, showing how to make kolams using rice paste.

Some examples;
http://www.ikolam.com/node/9457

http://www.ikolam.com/node/10027

http://www.ikolam.com/node/9208

Or any pattern of her choice.

Anybody who is interested in showing how to do double strokes? A small sample of something similar to what we see here:

http://www.ikolam.com/node/10446?p=9421

lakshmiraghu's picture

Hmm..lot of interesting programmes in B'lore meet!!

Padma Prakash's picture

Learning is a continuous process and no age bar for that.

whether we know or not, it is better to have a demonstration of all varieties ( 1 kolam each) like
- with rice flour,
- with double strokes
-filling using filter
- developing a kolam in photoshop
- info about varieties of materials used for kolam either drawing or filling.
- and a what? why? how? session - mutual one-one discussion about kolams
- introduction about statewise/varieties of kolam's in INDIA. Finally concluding that ALL COLOURS LEAD TO WHITE i.e. WE ALL ARE ONE though from different parts .

This is my suggestion for all the MEET's. How do you feel Lata and other's.

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

Padma maam, well said, sure we will do that as per your wish. surely Jayanthi maam will be doing a demo on photoshop and all the others will also exhibit their skills too.

anirudh's picture

thanks lataji.

Yes maa kolam from Pushpaji is definitely needed. I can demo drawing double storkes

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

Lata and Anirudh, Even i can do the double strokes in the rice paste. Myself or anirudh will be doing that.

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

Lata,
I need your suggestion as well. even you can also suggest any topics related to rangoli and any party ideas too.
sorry lata, I had to ask you at first regarding your suggestions. I will be waiting for your suggestions .

I once again thank you for having given this opportunity (even though being a active member for only four months) to conduct the meet.

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

Rajamma maam, what happened ? All of them are quiet ? I think everyoned are very busy. let us wait and watch

sjnt's picture

Yes Sudha,

I am coming for the meet as I confirmed earlier. Leaving the food part to the caterer will be best I feel.{Andha oru naal let us all enjoy w/o thinking about the kitchen, what to do today etc.] We all will share the cost. I will bring my craft journal. I plan to demonstrate basic quilling and how to make a simple card with quilling. Okkkkaaaaayyyyyyyaaaaaa????????

In Bangalore meet, I would like to learn how to join 3 -4 small kolams together in a single upload like how Judy mam does.. Anyone pleeeaase......

sjnt's picture

12.30 PM to 1.30 pm LUNCH 1.30 pm sharing each other skills and 4.00 pm a CHAT on rangolis along with CHAI. Righto?

lakshmiraghu's picture

Jayanthiji,pavan can teach this in photoshop and little more also....

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

Heeeeeyy lakshmi, what do you say about food, till now 3 votes to catering

sudhabalakrishnan's picture

jayanthi maam, good idea of bringing craft journal.

lakshmiraghu's picture

yes my vote also catering..what rajammaji and jayanthiji said is right i think...what do u sy??

anirudh's picture

yes catering is best

Lata's picture

WE ALL ARE ONE though from different parts - says Padma Prakash.

You stole my words Padma. I have something to say about this, and I'll do so after a few days. But, thanks for showing that this is how you see it, even before the meet. You seem to speak from experience. Wink

Padma Prakash's picture

Of course lata, as I have 5-6 years of experience in teaching, that is getting reflected. Thanks sudha for agreeing to photoshop demo. I have installed the software to my PC and started going through the help menu. I am very much eager to learn the usage of Photoshop for Rangoli's.

I also vote for Catering.Lets not worry about kitchen one day. We are meeting because of ikolam and the day should be for "ikolam" only. lets utilize each and every moment and all of us make that day as a MEMORABLE one. Lets C what others opinion is.

Padma Prakash's picture

Any help required from my end. My helping hands are very long. Pls fell free to ask me Sudha. You are carrying the whole load of organising the meet on your shoulders. Lets all share the load. ALL THE BEST. COME OUT WITH SUCCESSFULL COLOURS ).......
