My publications

For me, the yearly cleaning of stored old books conjures up images of my olden time creativity and the hard work I put in learning US and British crocheting and knitting terms, preparing toffies, candies for my kids’ etc etc and got published them in magazines and books to make homemaker’s work easy ……… the pages of them yellowed with age, their musty smell transporting me to a distant land. Memories left behind like the hint of a perfume, between the pages of olden time fashions, and present day trends…. Ok, that's enough procrastinating. Just peek into my olden days publications with kids of my family...they were just the innocent victims of my crafting. Posting my olden days publications…………

May, 1st2002, excerpts of research work:

Research is my passion; it flourished when I came in this field. Since my involvement in this field I roamed in each and every rural areas of the Haryana State of India. Women folk of Haryana State of India work in the fields tend cattle, fire the kitchen hearth. They are called “Bir Baani” (Brave women).They work from dawn to dusk continuously without any formal leisure hours for themselves. They live for their family only never ever care for own physical up keep. They are actual hero in the struggle of life.

Ideas For Empty Tins,Craft Knife

Here is an idea on what you can do to recycle or reuse those metal tins of protein/ milk your recycling man may not take or take as scrap pieces.
After making these two hook nestles it seems to me that I never showed you photos of these up cycled tin hook staking bins after they are photographed.
How I could have forgotten to do this is a mystery, since this is a project of which I am over-proud. If pride were a sin, I am doomed. Ohooo!. In my studio I love to make them into beautiful objects to house my hooks.
These bright tins transformed into beautiful objects and are the perfect place because I can fit many hooks in each, I make one for aluminum crochet hooks and the other for the steel crochet hooks. I bought a craft knife today Here is a link for craft knife inspiration. xoxo

Reblogged from THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2013’s blogpost of my online journal Roznamcha -Karguzari

MY Love for library Since I can remember, I have always had a fondness for the library. The smell of the books, albeit musty at times, the crinkling of papers, the whispered conversations, and the now-obsolete but then very important subtle thwack of the library stamp hitting the ink pad and depositing its return date on your book, all added to the specialness of the place. And if you were so fortunate to have a smile thrown your way from an unusually happy librarian, which was just icing on the cake. Owning a library card was like owning a very unique key. A key that could open up doors to all kinds of places, real & imagined.
During rare occasions and living situations, I could actually walk to the library. It soon became apparent however, that my mountain of books few selections were too much for me to carry in one trip and required the use of a car or some such thing. Before my children were born, I would often use my lunch hour (when I worked 'outside the home' - what's that? - don't recall it now oh!) to wolf down the contents of my brown bag and race over to the library and spend as many minutes remaining perusing the stacks of books. With my arms laden with treasures, I would race back to work in the knick of time and wait until the end of the work day so I could merrily drive home and anticipate the leisurely time with which I could look at, drool over & read (once in awhile) my loot. The habit only continued after having babies. When my children were preschoolers, the library offered a quiet place to study and to breathe. On a weekday evening or part of a Saturday afternoon, I would leave my husband in charge of the children and steal away to the library for some alone time. Of course, I still came home with a truckload of free items that I had borrowed with my library card. The only difference was that my arms became heavy with picture books and reading books and easy readers and books on tape. When my children were old enough to realize that every book on the library shelves did not have to be taken off its shelf to stand on or to throw, and they finally decided that they'd rather actually read a book rather than play with the toys in the kids' area, they accompanied me to my favorite place. Getting their very own library card was a big deal with some minor pomp & circumstance added in accordingly. And practicing our 'library voice' was also a big deal so as to not upset the librarians. On our Library Day visit, we would traipse together into the world of imagination or reality, depending on which genre of book we/they/I chose. My children were happy with their selections; I was happy with a quiet and free outing. That is, until the library fines! But this post is not for mentioning that. This post is about how wonderful and free (minus fines) the library is. It offers lots of things to read watch and do for people of all ages. (I've only scratched the surface as to what our present library offers.)I still have a Library Day once in a week even though the actual day might change from week to week. I still return home with boatloads of books . Really, our Nehru library is a great 'invention'.

For Gandhi ji’s 153rd Birth anniversary! Reblogged from the previous post of 10/30/2011 on roznamcha kargujari…

Crochet three-dimensional ............... harden and fit .... I do so !!!! I'm melted! This year I decided not to make good resolutions on New Year's Eve .. because every year is the same story: I promise to be a better person but then I'm still the same! So I started this new year with an objective analysis of myself .. and I have concluded that this year I will do what I like and like! Just before Diwali I thought about buying some cotton twigs, which at that time are usually ready to pic at agri. farms around our HISAR CITY ... and it occurred to me that I could spin it! I did some research and I knew this plant better, discovering that there are several varieties, including some (not very common) in which the cotton wool grows naturally brown, beige or green. These varieties are very old, but their production at the industrial level has not aroused much interest because the fibers are particularly short and therefore it is extremely difficult to spin them. I then took my cotton twigs and started to open this cotton wool, which contains the seeds of the plant, just like a fruit. In each swab I found about 8 seeds and the feeling I felt every time was indescribable: I fully understood the meaning of the word KAPAAS KE DODE! A myriad of short fibers that are rolled up and twist around a small seed to protect it and allow it to be transported by the wind without danger, to give life to a new plant .. made me understand how wonderful is the nature, which thinks every detail to protect his creatures!]]
I also found that, given the extremely short dimensions of the cotton fibers (on average about 2cm), you need to spin it with a special tool, the TAHKLI, a very small and light metal spindle, which is used by placing it on a surface and turning it swirling, like a top! Much better known than TAHKLI IS THE CHARKHA, A SPINNERUM INVENTED BY MAHATAMA GANDHI TO SPIN COTTON. Gandhi used cotton spinning and Charkha as symbols of the non-violent struggle for Indian independence. With the Charkha he hoped that the Indians could become self-sufficient and free from the English dominion, producing their own clothes and not buying the English fabrics. The things to say are too many .. in a few days I have stored so much information and experiences that to write them all here would be an endless post! The important thing is that I LOVE my CHARKHA, I love it when twirling in my fingers and I love the noise that the thread does while it is forming .. I think soon my CHARKHA will have a name! Preferably Indian .. Raul? Who knows ... we'll see :) I know, I'm crazy, but I always give a name to the objects when I tie myself to them in this way! In addition, during the Diwali holidays at our nanu’s village I talked to my grandmother(maternal) about the production and spinning of cotton, which when she was a child was performed at home, and I found out that my great-grandmother had given her CHARKHA which she got from her mother something that you consider of little value because it is more than 90 years or something!!! Given my enthusiasm to that wonderful charkha could not help but place it on the taand ("I had to preserve it till my death!"). Now I'm thinking of making some kukdis (raw cotton alongated balls)with cotton punnis (cotton swags), but I have to organize myself well and find a frame or use my charpaai .. ok, enough for today! I do not want to go further: this post should have just mentioned the new turn that is taking my life, but as usual I become too verbose when the topic excites me! To reconnect to the incipit, therefore .. for this year I decided to do everything I like and I like ... and I think I started well! Happy Birth Day to Gandhi ji in Heaven!

It's my professional and social life!!!

October was a MEGA, Rehana October was a MEGA MONTH and needs two mosaics to do it justice. In the first part of the month, I took my family on a mystery tour around Tosham the place where my ancestors used to live they were descendants of Prithviraj_Chauhan. When I was a kid, I accompanied my grandmother Sama Kaur on Tosham Kund to bathe in gyaarasiyaa kund on Somavati Amavasya._ I never forget that day as my grandmother shared with me the stories of her past that how their neighbors and relatives stepped in to take care of her when she was left without a mother at a young age. So along with a pious bath I came to know about my grandmaa's past story that made me very close to her. I loved her tooo much. Lets past to be paaasssssssssssss........ On Somavati Amavasya_this year, I returned to Tosham with my son and my D-in_law, my grand daughter and my niece and I got the same feeling that I did when I visited there with my grandmother forty years ago - the feeling that I was standing on sacred Hill, where My ancestors used to live many…many years ago. In the Haryanvi_ tradition, these sacred spots are known as "local deity", where God's presence can be felt despite the passage of time: "There is a geography of holy places, the places where the saints have dwelt.... Places whose beauty has been revealed by lives which have been open to God in such a way as to show that this world is not a system closed upon itself. These are places whose power persists through centuries of indifference and neglect to be revealed again when men are ready for it. Places which display the potential holiness of all this earth which man has loved so much yet so much ravaged." To cut the story short…………………. We started from Hisar, where we pass through cowherds of Rajasthan, I like Tosham. Then we proceeded further north towards another Hill where Barah Dari (prithvi raj ki kachari) is situated. Prithviraj_Chauhan who is fondly rememberd for his valour among old and for his love affair with princess Sanyogita among the teens. My forefathers belong to this clan. According to the folklore, it is where Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan use to preside over the court proceedings to pass judgement. Baradary is a mountain of Satvata religion. It has 12 doors of a tomb. It is an approximately 80-meter-high mountain. Tosham wala Pahad - 200-meter-high mountain of Aravali range. You can see full view of near by villages and greenery all around. It has many temples in this some of them are Baba mungipa, Hanuman temple, water fall etc. History of Tosham dates back to at least 4th century, as evident by the Sanskrit language Tosham rock inscription at Tosham hill. Tosham was under Gupta rule in 4th Century as per the inscription, later it came under Tomars and Chauhan (Prithviraj Chauhan who built the Baradari) Rajput rulers. It was simply the most superb day and I enjoyed every single flipping minute of it. Just amazing!!!. I’ll never forget a single thing about it. In the second part we visited Nainital for the kumaonliteraryfestival.My daughter Vipin Chaudhary was speaker for Hindi Poetry, Udaypant moderated the interesting session of Hindi Poetry on Sun, 25 Oct at Aabbotsford ( Abbotsford is located one of the highest points in Nainital and is one of the most distinguished and enchanting stately homes and heritage estates in Kumaon area.)with big name like Geet_Chaturvedi was in the panel. We met few Of our fav Filmi Duniyaa persons like Rajat_Kapoor . Had variety of Kumaauain food & other gourmet food. Thank you, ‪#‎KumaonLitFest‬ for creating a truly experiential literature festival of its kind and treating the writers with so much respect. Specially loved the way the volunteers worked with smile on their faces. Sharing a few pictures here.

Ode to Naturally Cracked

So I have been trying to schedule posts ahead so I can keep up on everything and take on more reviews, and work for my NGO/ MSS,HISAR,HARYANA,INDIA MORE. But I sometimes run out of things to write about. So I recently posted asking for writing prompts. My friend responded with that I should write how great she is….so I thought sure why not! My friend LITICIYA was like many other people I have come across since I started working my blog. Most ask me how they can get free stuff. Well, I don’t get free stuff, I get sent GIFTS and am expected to do some work for it. LITICIYA asked me how she would get started AN NGO I have many who ask me that and I have helped as best I can. A lot of these people realize how much work is involved and realize they might not have that much time to put in. LITICIYA was different. LITICIYA did what she always does. She put her heart and soul into making HER work, learning the ropes and improving her writing ability. She started A BLOG. She has helped me out a ton here, and also been thankful for any help I have given her. When she found out I was AWAY FROM MY NGO she wanted to help me the best she could. So she joined my team, she has been working her business, and I am very proud of her. LITICIYA and I parent very differently, and we have very different view on things, but I never feel disrespected when we disagree. Sometimes I know how strongly she feels in the opposite direction, but she always asks me why I do things a different way and is willing to listen. I know I am not going to convince her on some things that what I am doing is what she should be doing, but neither of us is interested in trying to sway the other. It is all about sharing our passions and celebrating our differences. When I need a shoulder to vent on, she is there. If I want to celebrate, she is there. I am off on a crazy adventure she is there. The only downside of her rocking her blog is she can’t take on my extra projects now OK Have you read her blog? What do you think?
MOM In Haryana traditionally men were never tattooed, but women were freely tattooed on the face, legs, arms  and body. One dot is made in the centre of the forehead and three on the left nostril and at the corners of each eye brows in the form of a triangle. All the limbs and the fingers and toes may also be tattooed, the most common patterns being a peacock with spread wings, a fish, cuckoo, scorpion, a child’s doll, a sieve, a pattern of Sīta’s cookroom and representations of all female ornaments. When I was a kid the girls of my age use to make small tattoo dots on their forehead in the middle of the chin and on the corners of eyebrows. I also tried to make some tattoos we(me and my friend sunheri) sewing needle  put some black charcoal powder from griddle on the spot then repeatedly prick the space with hand using needle  to mark the tattoo, the process of pricking and putting the charcoal powder repeated several times. Next day we washed the tatood space ..Yes they were there .but they fade away after 2-3 years.so that was the practice used by girls to make tattoo dots on their faces. My mom used to say that when we accompany my grandma to the annual fare we enjoy a lot and girls used to get tattoos on their body parts. My mom got her done when she was only 10 years of age. Another tattoo of ..ok XOXO
