Shobana Kumar's Kolams-(My sister)

Auguring good luck, a symbol of  happiness, gracious hospitality,  As with the break of morning 
a new day starts,  With paints, powder or petals, that draw figurines, peacocks, flowers or candles, a woman's very own everyday art.....On the threshhold of a house like a bridge that binds,  Connecting what's out with hearts within,  A glimpse into the culture of a home,  And all the love that a hearth brings....Pink ,green, blue red or white..hues wet and dry,  The colors celebrate the shades that life imbibes,  And as the colors wash, blow, wither or disappear,  A subtle reminder of the impermanence of life........Nishu Mathur...
