Sankranti Rangoli

Sankranti, the so called harvesting festival isn’t that colorful without Rangoli’s. The same festival is celebrated with more joy in the villages, especially if you hail from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh or Tamilnadu you would know it better! I had posted some of the pics clicked during my previous visits to country side during festive season. Feel free to go through them. You may want to head over to another previous post of mine where I had shared couple more rangoli’s.

This was done by my mom during one of the festivals. Sorry for not posting the colorful image since that will not help you get to the details for trying it on your own. I will try to capture and share more such rangolis along with the dots information, variety of design and more patterns upon my next visit to villages where it will be more colorful. Whatever the festival is called by you, may it be Makara Sankranti, Pongal, Maghi, Uttarayan and more… my best wishes to you and your family on the festive occasion.

Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu


The trend of multi-starrer films seems to have begun again After about three decades or so. This trend began with Kamal Hassan-Venkatesh’s ‘Eenadu’ and now with ‘Vedam’.

The latest buzz in the tollywood industry is that ‘Victory’ Venkatesh and ‘Power Star’ Mahesh Babu to act together in a film which is produced by Dil Raju and the director is none other than Srikanth Addala of ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokam’ fame. The film is going to take off in this september. The makers are considering “Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu” as the title. So, after this film, we can expect more multi-starrer films in our telugu film industry.
