Photos Of The February Edition: Rangolis

This time, we present to you the traditional South Indian Rangolis. Rangolis are the ancient art of colouring floors. The patterns are symmetric and signify the talent of Indian women.


Usually the colouring mixture is fine sand or Rice flour. They are created at the entrance of house or near gods room to divert the evil eyes or envy of those who enter the house. Rangoli is still believed to work like the Chinese Bagua Mirror.


Another story of creating such Rice flour patterns was to provide food to ants and other insects. The aim was to live and also let every living organism live.

Today, small or big, the arrangement is still seen in almost all the South Indian households and one will also be surprised that despite the fast lifestyle, the members of house take time to create and retain the centuries old tradition.


All in all, I felt that these beautiful designs required a special status in our February travel E-edition.

Beaches Of Barcelona, Spain

No beaches in the world can match with these blue Mediterranean seas. The water is cold, clear and blissful.
Beaches like Marbella, Vila Olympica, Nova Icaria and Bogatell are the most happening shores of the European nation. The weather is also beach friendly and you find people aged from 6 to 60 sunbathing on the shore, playing games and much more.
What amazes me is the look of the beaches, the 4km running sand, the view of luxury hotels and resorts, the yachts and ferries, all add to the picture perfect locale.

Barcelona also provides good beach facilities for travellers. Drink and Dine restaurants are more in number, WCs are hygienic, water showers are provided at every shore, bus and metro facilities are also good, travellers can cycle, hire rickshaw or even walk to enjoy the Mediterranean magic.

Best Image Of The Day!

This was one of the well clicked pictures in Barcelona's La Rambla. The flower vendor, there, had made these simple 2-3 euro worth flower bouquets. The special thing about these bouquets were that the flowers you see in the picture are too small and have been artificially coloured to look so Rainbow like. Beauty at best.
