Hi Sabari,
Thank you soooo much. . All these are apartment kolams only. Thankfully, in my parent's apartment, whenever I draw rangoli (read Margazhi month until Pongal), our milkmen and paper-men are so gracious as to not disturb my kolams and they very carefully place the milk packets and newspapers on our doormat. In our place, it is not quite so as it is the ground floor. Anyways, I take a pic immediately after drawing so that the kolam is still fresh and undisturbed. In my parent's place, our neighbour, seeing my interest, lets me draw one big kolam during Pongal common to both our apartments. For Pongal, my mom and dad used to help me. My dad is a Rangoli artist and he'll spread colours so finely that we are no match for him. (Of course, he does take a lot of time to finish, he he he...). He was the one who taught me and my sister how to put colours properly and evenly. Needless to say, he is our best critic. This year, he was saying, "Now that you are married off and gone, who is going to put Rangoli in our apartment?". I consoled him by showing the pic of the Pongal panai's that I drew this year.
