Happy Birthday rEkhA ! - part 2 :-)
Mrs rEkhA, I am fond of playing with alphabetic letters in English as well as in Indian languages. This pattern wishing you a happy birthday is one such. It contains four letters of r (lower case) in the four directions, at 90 degrees. I made first the r as a chikku kOlam (Fig. 1), then joined them together to form the svAstikA (Fig. 2). I rotated this by 45 deg as in Fig. 3. This step is done purely to introduce the white straight line in horizontal and vertical directions. The woven pattern is shown Fig. 4. A bit of noise was introduced into this pattern to give the effect of rangOli powder as shown in Fig. 5. A negative of this was made and this is the one that was finally uploaded. I am explaining the various steps so that others could benefit. Once again happy birthday and may this remove your headaches 
Regards! - mOhana

And he did it later in the form of another picture with a description!

umaji thank you ,I thoroughly enjoyed every bit along with ammuji, lakshmiji,judy ,vinci...and latha i missed u a lot .So many writers for this comedy drama though started with Rao sir the dialogues are went on added by all actresses very naturally . This is one of the best drama where i acted along with the great actresses like ammuji, lataji, lakshmiji,pushpaji,,judyji,vince .........I am really planning to write a short comedy drama in Kannada based on this concept under the guidance of u, Mr Rao ,Ammuji,lata,lakshimi maam,jayaji ….. infact all the ikolam members(don’t worry royally will be given to all equally).Sorry if i havemissed any names
