Rangoli outside my house

Thanks for all........Iam going to put that Kolam or Rangoli as they say tomorrow nite for Fridays Function.Lemme me take a picture of the same n post it soon..........Thanks buddies...

I know what rangoli is. So I only advised what not to draw while making rangoli in Doha.

I have been to some fine floral design competitions.

The rangoli should not depict semi clad/nude goddesses and there should be no caricatures of any prophets.

Y r u guys going out of the main topic guys....... pls stick to the question n try to advise

Lol... I got to go ...bye guys .... be good... take good care of the house ;)

NO... next you'll ask me if I wanna have Jack Shrimp ROFL!!!

Nice name for a new Restaurant... "Jack Chicken"...wanna have some?...lol

Be MAN enuf to take rejection :-P

ROFL... Drmana... anyway the answer would be no...so I withdrew it before the answer came...lol

Lol.....the offer expired in 3 minutes, not fair :-D

Too late I withdraw the offer... he he he!!!

Then how about coffee? :)

Lol jack, I am flattered :-)

Brit...every thursday night UK is in Thigh land...

Drmana.... It would be a pleasure... to leave this world from your hands

Isn't Rangoli that rash you picked up in Thailand..

jack, I know better ways to kill someone....phaasi ka phanda around the neck is so old fashioned :-)

Colt ask her that .... she has her roots in tradition not like you...

She cannot even put a noose around a guy's neck!

Jack you should have told your lifestory to Manmohan Desai and he would have made a superhit movie out of it :(

he he he.....all guys so scared of a small thread, lol :-P

Oye what did I do.. Stop dragging me in all this Rakhi :(

You better not kiss WK then :-))

Lol....I am already married and have no intention of leaving my hubby....jack, you are saved again :-P

if she ties a phaasi ka phanda around your neck, does it mean she is marrying you? :-P

Once one girl asked me to tie Rakhi... so I told her I will give her a "brotherly" kiss after tying the rakhi.... ;)

...she fell in love with me... but I didnt know....

...years later when she was about to get married... she came to me and revealed everything.... but then it was too late and there was someone else for me ;)

jack, I have watched Sholay atleast 5 times:-)

"Ye hath mujhe de de thakur" Lol.....

no worries, no rakhi for you too from my side :-P

Colt buddu... if she ties anything around my neck she becomes my wife .... so careful Drmana... with what you wish...lol

WK - tu to phass gaya hero :-P

Drmana I am THE Hata-Kata Thakur... beoble can tie rakhi anywhere else...lol

Drmana ..if you have not seen the Super Duper Hit Sholay movie... there is a Police Character called "Thakur" the villan get Thakur's both hands cut off...

Yeah, colt....don't worry, no Rakhi for you :-)

make one big enuf for his neck :-P

All INDIANS are my brothers and sisters, not NEPALIS ;-P

Now from where did Radha-krishna come into picture?

Jack, you going underground on 24th August? :-)

Make an anklet ;-)

Where to tie rakhi for haat-kata Thakur from Sholay?

Colt any answers?

Yes, where I am from, i.e. Bombay, Hindus, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs celebrate each others festivals.

It's all a part of how we were raised.

Read a small book called Mahabharata to find out.

Radha Krishna you mean... hmmm, good question :-P

who is redhakricna...?

but indian muslims do like to celebrate it, one of my muslim friend told me like that... he says, that we dont feel any different in hindu's and muslims cultures being an Indian...!

There is no festival called Rangoli, it's Diwali or some other festivals wherein the people draw Rangoli. It's pretty much like how Catholics make a star for Xmas.

And NO, not all Indians make Rangoli.

Rangoli is not something that is celebrated..

Can you click on the links provided earlier in the thread...

all indians do celebrate rangoli...?

all of you are hindu's, promoting rangooli in this thread?

Haha no man, I stay away from all festivals :P

kya tere haath kissi ne kaat diye kya? :-P

Eng - WK what time you got?

drmana do you need Colt's address for Rakhi or do you already have it :P

?

English please :-P

oops, sorry....yes Raksha bandhan on 24th August this year :-)

yap.. i dont want to complicate things in this thread.. so i did not discuss in depth (like vedas, subcaste, iyers and iyengars)..

i guess you know this. even Aachari (carpenter)wear crossbelt (the mantram for them is very very limited)

drmana RakshaBandhan is on 24th August, not September.

drmana - u r correct. but in India this is done according to the Tamil stars (Nakshatra)..

Khemcho, you mean day to change the "janeu".....it is done on the "raksha bandhan" day in Nepal which falls on 24th September this year.

tinkerbell - yap we change poonal... and people do say white cross belt. :)

drmana / tinkerbell - on the same day of Onam, there is a festival for South Indian Brahmins called Avani Avittam.. refer the link for more details

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avani_Avittam

wow, that girl in pink has such a long hair....

Tinker...then are you one of them:

Oh ok, thanks tinker...

Rangoli? still time for dewali...what's coming up?

This is Tinkerbell lighting the diyas at her Rangoli

Rang = Colour

you want a veggie? :-P

what is rangoli by the way... :s

If I am given a choice between...

Delicious Vegetarian Meal & Delicious Non-Veg Meal....

I will prefer the Veg one ....no 2 questions about it.

There is nothing I have tasted which is as delicious as a good Indian Veg Meal...especially the onam one :)

We will arrange rangoli competition with our next event of cookery competition open to all Indians through ICC.

Onam Kabi?... Kabi Onam?

So Tinker are you going to organize the Onam Sadya?

I, WK, Colt and the gang will come ready to eat.... nothing is as delicious as pure veg :)

As you would have noticed already except for one or two none has ever put any rangoli here... also who has put it and had no issues doesnt mean you may not get into one...all depends on your neighbourhood...better would be run a trial by making one any of these days, a small one and see the reaction...if nothing goes wrong well you are then OK with it on your festival day.

sorry repeat post

When is Onam??

It is the Mallu National festival..

Tinkerbell , you've got guts.

Tinkerbell , you've got guts.

i would love to come see you actually do it... i was always fascinated by it :-)

Not I said Ping ;-))

How many of you have ever put Rangoli in front of your house in Doha?

i have never seen rangoli after i came to Doha Nithyarn if you put Rangoli invite me to your house..........

AGAIN Ima tell you, I LOVE my MEAT, so quit with the veg thingie ;-P

when i said kind, i meant that i would cook you some delicious Ravioli for the Rangoli ;-))

Iam really happy that there r lots of people to encourage me.There absolutely no religious symbols that iam planning...just lines with colors..some simple patterns and we stay in a compound where we have seperate yard infront of our house where iam planning to put but my hubby is just worried that i may invite unwanted problems.

jackmohan: I am a tamil girl n we don't celebrate onam as a major function.but still likes to celebrate.........

ansu: there shud be few gud hearts like u to encourage our tradition in other countries too.Keep it up...

yallah tinker I said not cash but will pay by cheque :(

Damnit!!! :-(

Ok tinker, send me the proforma invoice to arrange the payment :P

Colt who said I will be paying in cash :))

jack, don't worry..i know it better...:)

I pay in kind, not cash... acceptable??? ;-)

Soniya knows who is the bald witch of QL...

...statement ko gumana mat varna... mera dhai kilo ka hath..

I is the very well, thank you!!! :-D

shayan how long did it take you to come up with that ;)

Don't worry, you will be appropriately remunerated ;o)

that Italian dish is Ravioli and not Rangoli

Wut up beebee??? ;-)

tinker can I hire you for painting a Rangoli :(

use in front of your house like some design with stars,dots,lines with out making any kind of sanskrit word Om,symbol of Swastik etc where you will invite trouble.

Be carefull with Baladiya should not say you have making area dirty,now a days they take photographs to prove it

Soniya tere ko witch bola ye pagal munda...:(

O no painting of floors in public..its haram..:|)

Yeah Rizks...those who win it will get to ... dance with the witch...

Soniya ;)

jacknjill how about floor painting competition ? :)

lol jack...FLOOR MEHENDI?? ROFL

If somebody asks about it ...tell them its Floor Mehndi... or Floor Heena

There is no problem is that....go ahead let the world know about our tradition and culture...its good..just make sure that it does not cover your neighbours entrance.

rangoli is it girl? or a boy?

I am talking about religious symbols like swastika. If your neighbour is from your neighbouring country back home then he will get opportunity to make big scene.

LOL Colt this keeps getting funnier.

alfa Q what's religious about a flower I paint on the ground??

you could end up in trouble if you put religious symbols outside your house.

I was about to ask him how does making a rangoli design disrupt the peace???

Is Rangoli a potential weapon of mass destruction that it can disrupt peace in the region?

To avoid issues indoor would be better. Live peacefully and live others also live peacefully...Hope you got it...else your choice..

OK nithyarn...Onam is fast approaching...how about a Onam Sadya for all QLers?

Hell NO... I LOVE my MEAT!!! :-P

No problem as long as it does not hinder the others.

Thanks for ur responses....

Rangoli, also known as Alpana, Kolam and by other names is a traditional art of decorating courtyards and walls of Indian houses, places of worship and sometimes eating places as well. The powder of white stone, lime, rice flour and other paste is used to draw intricate and ritual designs.

There will not be any problem..But just make sure that it shouldn't cover the entrance of your neighbour or should not create any hindrance for others while passing that area...

I have seen those out of flowers... very beautiful i have to say

thos who r not aware of rangoli..refer this...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangoli

what is exotic about it?

its nice in Tomato sauce and cheese on top, little spicy and flavorful. Best with glass of Chateau south hill

so why put on onto the front yard?

and who is Mr Kolams?

Hi,

Rangoli is an exotic Italian dish made up of small pieces of Pasta filled with mince...

Again why will there be a problem?
