Suguna, this member is not going to answer anytime soon since she is not a frequent visitor nowadays. I guess I'll have to do it in the meantime. She is the inspiration behind this site's birth. :)
She is my daughter Aarushi. I knew she wasn't going to "get" easy access to her grandmas and aunts (like the way I did) who might teach/ share ways to make rangolis, since she was being raised in the US. I decided to make my own tool that shows the strokes for kolams, which is how ikolam came into existence (my blog). Initially, I shared with family/friends, and then opened it out to the world, and started sharing others works as well. This is the short story. :)
She is a college student and makes rangolis only for special days.
Wow, with this selected as Rod, she will be thrilled. I've sent her the link and hope to hear from her. In the meantime, just wanted to thank you on her behalf. :)
