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

From Kurukshetra to Groom's Songs: Understanding Haryana's Culture and 'Banne ke Geet'

Intro & Cultural Context of Haryana

Haryana is a vibrant state located in the northwestern part of India, with Chandigarh as its capital (shared with neighboring Punjab). Known as the land of "milk and curd" and driven by the pride of 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' (Hail the Soldier, Hail the Farmer), Haryana brilliantly blends ancient heritage with modern progress.

From the historic grounds of Kurukshetra—where the timeless message of the Bhagavad Gita was delivered—to the ancient Indus Valley site of Rakhigarhi, Haryana boasts a deep-rooted history. Today, while cities like Gurugram and Faridabad lead in global industry and technology, the heart of Haryana remains deeply connected to its agricultural roots and rich folk traditions.

The true essence of Haryanvi culture comes alive in its traditional art forms like Saang (folk theater) and Ragni (folk music), where songs celebrate everyday life, hard work in the fields, traditional attire like the iconic Daman (flared traditional skirt), and the warmth of the local dialect.

🌻बना आया अंधेरी रात रोशनी बिजली की (बन्दडा़)🌻

What are 'Banna' (Banne ke Geet) Songs in Indian Weddings?

In the rich cultural tapestry of Haryana and North India, wedding celebrations are incomplete without folk music. 'Banne ke Geet' (or Banna-Banni songs) are traditional wedding songs specifically dedicated to the groom (affectionately called 'Banna').

When and Why are They Sung?

• Celebratory Gathering: As wedding rituals commence, women from the family and neighborhood come together in joyful gatherings to sing these energetic traditional tracks.
• Key Rituals: These songs accompany specific pre-wedding and wedding-day ceremonies, including Haldi/Ubtan (applying sacred turmeric paste to the groom), Ghori Charhi (the grand ritual where the groom mounts a decorated mare), and the formal departure of the Baraat (wedding procession).
• Themes & Spirit: The lyrics lovingly praise the groom’s charm, his wedding attire (Sehra—the ceremonial veil, and Sherwani—the traditional coat), his character, and offer warm blessings for his new journey ahead, filling the atmosphere with lighthearted humor, warmth, and celebration.

Lyrics of the Traditional 'Banna' Song

बन्ना आया अंधेरी रात रोशनी बिजली की गीत के बोल इस प्रकार हैं:

Refrain

बन्ना आया अंधेरी रात, रोशनी बिजली की ओ -3 

"The groom arrived in the dark night, lit up by electricity (electric lights)."

बन्ना आया अंधेरी रात, रोशनी बिजली की ओ 

Stanza 1

उसके दादा ने बिजली लगवाई दई 

His grandfather got the electricity installed.

बन्ना आया अंधेरी रात, रोशनी बिजली की ओ 

Summary Note: This traditional Haryanvi wedding song celebrates the arrival of the groom (Banna) during the night. It joyfully highlights all the family members (grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, siblings) who contributed by decorating and lighting up the venue for his arrival.

Re-blogging a Favorite Memory!

For as long as I can remember, the library has been my sanctuary. From the nostalgic smell of old pages and the familiar thwack of the date stamp to stolen lunch-break visits and bringing my children along with their very first library cards—Nehru Library at CCS HAU has held a lifetime of precious moments.

Nehru Library, CCS HAU, Hisar: A peaceful haven of books and precious memories over the years.

A library card really is a key that opens doors to endless worlds!

To My Readers: Libraries have a quiet way of anchoring our lives across different stages, don't they? Whether it's the thrill of getting a new library card or finding a peaceful corner to read, those memories stay with us.

Do you have a favorite library memory or a library day ritual of your own? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

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!!!
