Rangoli Competition
Rangoli Competition
it's Diwali time murmured syamali . I should participate or not in Rangoon competition held in our colony.
One day before Diwali colony people celebrate photo Diwali where many families participate in many competitions like rangoli for ladies and girls, Diwali that for boys and girls, pot painting, decoration of corner wall, neat garden. Evey year people get charged and get motivated to participate in the competition.
Syamali takes part in Rangoli competition for years. Every year the theme of Rangoli is different and there the creativity of the master lies. Once the theme was on Diwali god and goddesses, she made big rangoli of Ganesha and Laxmi. That year it was superb and big. She won special prize for it from the judges. From that year onwards people expect her to make something big and good rangoli. One year she decided not to do rangoli people literally came and requested her to do. She then made up her mind and made Ayodhoa Harsh Lord Ram.
Though it's very tiring work but with perfect colours the rangoli looks nice. The completion theme this time was related to girl child. She Google searched and got a pic of mother and a girl. Then she made up in her Ind how to draw got few pieces of chalk. Then drew four times to make it perfect. Got all the rangoli colours and started colouring it. It took whole night and half a day to finish. Wrote in colours "Daughters are blessings for parents".
The judges came around 6 pm in the evening they were stunned to see such a marvellous piece of rangoli looked like painting.. One of judge mom of my friend touched it and appreciated my work. She said cannot believe this looks so natural like painting. There were three judges they gave mark and left. Syamali with her son and husband went to the ground where there was the Diwali party and deceleration of the winners for each event. Everybody said there the judges were so impressed by your work we want to come and see it. Syamali said after dinner we can go to our house and see it. The program started and all waiting eagerly for the announcement. All event names were called out for first second and third position. Syamali's son group got third prize for Diwali group. But no name was called for Syamali. She was surprised I am not the winner but how come I did the best. She was broken with anger, and insult then her name was announced as special prize for her Rangoli. Tears came out rolling from her eyes she jumped with joy and then told everyone. After dinner cone to my house to see my rangoli.
