Kolam

My long time passion is to create a web site for Kolam, especially for the tough 'sikkal' kolams. Surprisingly, when I browsed in the net there are n number of websites, displays lots of kolams. In my younger age, we used to put different kolam in our door step and enjoy by seeing them, once it is done. We used to have healthy competition among the neighbours and try to put a new unique kolam per day in the auspicious month of 'Margazhi'. I had a bunch of kolam collection book. I do remember taking it to my in-laws' house also, after getting married also. In the course of time, I guess I missed/lost it. Still I remember how nicely I used to maintain it. Still I have a longing to create a similar kind of book with lot of toughest kolam collection.

I got amused to see the following links, and hope, if I find time, will definitely make a collection again.

I still beleive, who ever is able to put the sikkal kolam, they are intelligent, patient enough in life. I used to admire the home servants, in and around our chennai, my walking spots - who put nice tough kolams and beleive, if they would have got right chance in studies, they might have flourished rather than to be house servants, who does 'murai vasal' and puts intelligent and calculation oriented tough kolams.
