Colors of Deepavali @ VBPO Kuching!

Beautiful kolam by FMCC floor members

KOLAM is as much a part of the Deepavali celebrations as muruku and delicious curry. For those who don’t know, kolams are motifs drawn on a flat surface using chalk, rice powder or rice grains, with touches of colours and other enhancements onto it.

Many Hindu families paint kolam in their homes during auspicious occassions such as festivals, weddings and birthdays. Kolam is believed to bring blessings to the homes.

As part of their Deepavali celebrations this year, FMCC Kuching, recently made few KOLAMs. Made from colored rice grains, tt was all the more challenging as their were given only limited time to conceptualise and create the kolam.


Colorful kan? :)

Keeping up with the Joneses

"Keeping up with the Joneses" is a catchphrase in many parts of the English-speaking world referring to the comparison to one's neighbour as a benchmark for social caste or the accumulation of material goods. To fail to "keep up with the Joneses" is perceived as demonstrating socio-economic or cultural inferiority.
