Making rangoli is one of my favorite Diwali rituals. This art that I picked up not long back is one that has not only turned out to be one of the most engaging and peaceful activities that I have ever pursued but has become a curious case for eye specialists. When making rangolis, I face a strange physical problem in my eyes. They start watering and turn red when concentrating on colors for long. An hour into coloring, and boundaries start getting blurred. I start to see things in multiples! The weird part is, I have no problems reading, writing text(no matter how small the font) for hours non stop. It's only with the colors! Regardless to say, I face the same problem when painting, making mehendis and of late cooking colorful dishes!What next? Problems in laptopping too? Nooooooo!!
No, I haven't been negligent about it. I went to couple of eye specialists and tried to explain my problem but they got me tested for color blindness. I have perfect eye sight and I am NOT color blind is what has been diagnosed. Wow, what a discovery! And now being clueless on what to do about it, my hobbies have taken a back seat. If someone understands my problem or has experienced it and has some useful advice, please call/mail/talk to me, you ;will be a God-send! Or if by chance some crazy medical practitioner comes across this blog post, please consider this as a topic of research. I'll pray you achieve some break through and come up with flying colors :D
Coming back to the Rangolis. No I am not an expert to give tips on how to make Rangolis. I have heard use of sieves to make neat rangolis, but haven't tried out myself yet. But guess will have to try it out soon, as they say it's quicker. By the way, this post is entirely for record purpose. My page of rangolis. My drop in this vast ocean of digital space :)
