Wordless Wednesday
By Lakshmi Bhat
I am a person who believes there is not enough darkness in the world to extinguish the light of a small candle. We live in a small place in South India. I love reading, blogging, stitching, traveling, photography, listening to people and many other things which make life so very nice and interesting. Blogging is a fun experience, it has brought me into contact with people in different parts of the world and it is good to read about their everyday life. In spite of the differences there is a sameness which is fascinating. I have learnt and am learning something everyday. I have learnt to write haikus. I enjoy combining the thought and the number of syllables. I have always read books and I was happy to write short fiction. I had thought I would not be able to do so. Stream of Consciousness and photo challenges are fun too. Yes, there is so much in life that is sad and that hurts us. Many a time I wonder why life is so unfair to so many. We all have problems in life but the problems of many seems unbearable. This makes me feel so helpless. It is not possible to help everyone but we can do our bit, we can do something to help some in whatever way we can. Due to the pandemic I could not go to the Home for the mentally challenged for two years. I had been going there since 2011. I have started going again. I was happy that some members remembered me :) All of them are an important part of my life. There have been many challenges in life and we have faced them with a positive approach. Our grandson and granddaughter have made our lives richer.

What beautiful and vibrant colours. Are they all vegetable dyes?

I don’t think they are. We saw dress materials and saris designed with vegetable dyes. They are beautiful, with lighter colours in Shantiniketan. But they are expensive. Aravind bought a sari for his grandmother which cost Rs 3000. This was a shade of brown with black border. But the ones with designs using the colour of leaves and flowers are more than Rs 10000 to 15000. They were beautiful but I have never purchased anything so expensive in my life. 😃

That is very expensive, and I don’t suppose the person who actually makes them receives a fair portion of that amount!

A beautiful set of things for sale at the roadside, especially the bright cheery mats at this end.

Yes Michel, Mukhamani is the name of my site. In our community, other than our last name Bhat, we have family names. My parents’ family name is Munglimane. My husband’s Khandige. We live in Manipal. I combined the three Mu+ Kha+ + Mani to make the name of my page 😊
