By Neeta

How are you ? April is started already and how life is going? Steady or with full speed? Mine is going with full speed. Mini vacation are over and school has started. Again we are busy with school, study little bit and toddlers play time. Healthy dinners are the most important part of our Indian houses. We Indian families have everyday dinner together because it is the time where we meet each other and we talk with each other.  This was the scene of our childhood lives. Many of you agreed with it.  But,  In my house dinner time is where we strictly off the screens whether it is big or small screens and talk over the meal.  Dinner is the special time where we all have meals with discussion and laughter so we did it mindfully.  A healthy dinner has always been my goal. Earlier there was a house help when my baby was small but now we don't have any help. So the goal is to cook food at home and have a meal with the family, which is sometimes very difficult. But with meal planning I ma

40 + EASY RANGOLI DESIGN

By Neeta




Diwali is incomplete without Rangoli. As title suggests EASY RANGOLI DESIGN  so you will see the easiest and simple rangoli design in my today's post.


Rangoli is an art which is still practiced today by everyone. Rangoli is the most important part of our culture. Generally rangoli are drawn in front of the entryway of our home. It is believed to be prosperous to draw a rangoli during any celebration like festival, marriage, Pooja etc. It is the significance of clearing negativity at the entrance of your home. Specially in Diwali drawing a rangoli in front of office, shop, and home serve a religious and symbolic purpose - to welcome Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, as well as any visiting guests. Rangoli can have other meanings, too, including bringing good fortune and keeping evil at bay!


How Rangoli is made up of ?

Rangoli is a pattern made on the floor with white colour. Then the design is filled with colours. Most of the rangoli designs are consist of plants, flowers, leaves such as coconut, lotus, mango, and ashwath (peepal), animals such as cows, elephants, peacock, and birds like swans. There are geometrical designs as well. The whole rangoli looks beautiful when it is accompanied by flowers and diya. It is one the most delightful images we saw in front of every house in Diwali.


Now days rangoli can be drawn in many patterns. Geometric, flowers, free hand, mandala form, sanskar bharati, kolam, and many more types. Every state has its own design and rituals. 



I still remember how I learnt to draw a rangoli from my mother. She used to draw simple but mostly free hand rangoli and I always spend the whole day practicing that. When I was in 8th standard I started to draw a big rangoli. I almost spent 2 to 3 hours drawing it. At that time there was no internet and YouTube. But we drew from the book. Still we can find the rangoli books in Diwali. And I took it, saw every rangoli and kept it back in the bookshelf 😁 

Now I really don't get that much time. I  love to draw rangoli but as a toddler mom it is almost not possible for me. However I try to manage to draw a simple entryway rangoli. 

 Any one feeling like this ?

Are you searching for simple easy rangoli design and then getting lost in the world of social media? And then finally you forget to draw or demotivate? 


Then this post is for you. I have a collection of simple yet less time consuming rangoli designs for everyone. Like a beginner, an expert or who is looking for a simple rangoli or a busy working mom who is always in a hurry. Please go through the post and I guarantee you that this Diwali you can draw rangoli instead of bringing stickers of rangoli. 

So let's Start ,

    I have never made rangoli! I find it such a fascinating art and so colourful. I see the colour sellers also giving tracing patterns. I feel we should have rangoli on a regular basis at home, for the pep feel. I would like to try the peacocks, diyas and perhaps begin with some easy designs first.

    Neeta I am very bad in Rangoli but I can do good Alpana which is one type of decoration we do our floors during puja. But the designs you shared in this post is instigating me to give it a try next diwali. Thank you for boosting my confidence in Rangoli making.

    What beautiful rangolis! But not simple for me. I still do the ones with dots because then I'm able to draw the lines well. I'm bad at freehand drawing. The rangolis with dots that you've added look easy, but without video its not easy to replicate.

    Thank you for sharing this. It's great to know more about rangoli and not just see them. For someone doesn't share the same faith, understanding more about the things you do is important and gives more meaning to the respect I already have. - MommyWithAGoal

    Wow, thanks a bunch for these detailed rangoli designs! Honestly, I'm not into art, but my little daughter loves it. She drew a rangoli for Diwali, and everyone loved it. These step-by-step drawings will really help her, so I'm going to show them to her.

    Love your collection Neeta but they are not easy by any means... they look difficult to me as I have no practice. I am sure with toddlers also u take out time to do that as u r a master multitasking and it is like a therapy also and I know the feeling u get when u look at the finished design. I love flowers so I make my rangoli on Laxmi puja with flower petals only.

Hi, there Excited to be a part of #Speakeasy2.1 blog challenge hosted by Dipika and Ruchi. Travelling is one of our (me and Mr. hubby) favorite thing. We do travel a lot and love to collect the memories and hence my blog is “Memory Flies”   As soon as I read the theme “Most memorable travel” my mind starts  hopping and makes me realizes our all memorable travels. It is very difficult for me to pick out the one. My dream destination of India is the South pole " KANYAKUMARI " and the North pole “KASHMIR” . Thanks to Mr. Hubby fulfilled my both dreams.   Today I am sharing my KASHMIR tour which was in 2018 with small kiddos and family. Traveling in hilly areas with small kids is not that much difficult. KASHMIR the word itself gives the feeling of immense beauty and  warmth. Kashmir is the place that you can feel and rejuvenate yourself. The peaceful nature and beauty of Kashmir attract travelers from all over the world every year. Due to its geographical location, it i

Happy Weekend.... Disclaimer: I am not professional; I am inspired by Montessori Method. This is my experience which is worked for us and wants to share with you. Depend on your child’s interest, you can start with the various activities which keep your toddler active and build confidence within them. Saee is 2.5 years now; I think it is the right age to start with her the learning activities. She also loves to play with different kind of activities which mumma sets for her, and asking more and more. Montessori is an education method which is based on self-directed activity, hands on learning and collaborative play. These are the basic activities for the children at different ages and to the individual personalities of each child. The main function is to help and allow the child to develop independence in all areas according to his or her inner psychological directives.

Bhatukali in vacation

Bhatukali -How many of you know this game?  I guess kids in the 90s and before that must know BHATUKALI. Still, if you don't know, not to worry, stick to the whole post. End of an era of online school Gyan we learn from our kids :  Be calm, accept the situation and enjoy it to the fullest. Our kids enjoyed the school in the same way (like offline)Irritating the teacher by asking questions like which subject is today? Can we write? Which lesson mam? Are you sending this in what's app group? Etc.  For kids, it was more fun but the truth is they missed school, friends, and teachers. Due to online schooling, we are able to evaluate our kid's performance as well as " teachers" performance. We get to know the flaws and strengths of our kids. As a parent, we should utilize it. Now it is vacation time and still, we have to schedule our kid's day, is it really necessary? This means, nowadays schools have everything in their syllabus from guitar to painting. But still,

Happiness is selfmade

It was 1 st January 2020 when one of my subscribers asked me to write on “HAPPINESS” and I did not write at that time. Because it was a really challenging one. I did not want to spread any negativity from my post. I tried but it seems to be more negative. Then I looked back to my life and observe, what is really Happiness to me? Thank you, dear subscriber. As it leads to me in deeper thoughts.   Since my childhood happiness is not equal to me. Then I thought, “NO” there are more countable days when I was happy. Like I was happy when I had my degree, my first job, my marriage, my house, my vehicle, my kid, etc. I think these are the milestone in everyone’s life and everybody tends to achieve it. Yep, it is a different thing that we want something else and we get something. 😊 This is called DESTINY. You will get what you DESERVE! But, As human beings we tend to think about such things which we are not able to achieve. Might be for satisfaction or passion. It is perfectly natu
