Happy Uttarayan

14th Jan marks the entry of the sun from one zodiac to another and daylight hours increases from this day. As the wind changes direction, its festival time here in India. 

Different cultures celebrates this festival in different way and various cultures it is called  "Makar Shankranti , Lahori, Pongal, Bhogi or Uttarayan"

It marks the end of harvest for pulses, sugarcane, paddy and other cereals. Newly harvested grains are cooked for the first time. Its celebration time for the farmers.

At home we make "chikki" with  sesame seeds, jaggery and peanuts and in the evening fly kite. 

This weeks challenge @ yours truly is to use DuoTangle Auraknot and Bunzo. Love both the tangle but when I put just them together they flamed......

I went through couple of tiles till they soared together but shading them ...a big challenge!!

Any tips on how I could have improved the shading will be welcome..."Thanks" in advance.  Hope you guys have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

R.I.P

A lost Friend,
childhood chuckles,
intense reading,
and music madness.

A Sister gained
after marriage,
with picture passion
and soulful chatter.

Rest now.
I know you are tired,
Fighting illness
which isn't in your power

You both will be missed
forever.
