My work for Little ARYA..

ARYA...your birth was definitely  a joyous moment not only for your mom, but also for your family and friends.

 The naming ceremony is traditionally organized So your baby to get introduced to the extended family and circle of friends.

There are some considerations that should be taken into mind when choosing the child's name.It should sound pleasant ,be easy to pronounce .there are also generally specific numbers of the vowels and consonants that should be in the name, and it should symbolize fame,wealth  and power.       

 I will always remember the image of  Arya's new  grand mom and other women holding the ceremonial plate and singing to her softly the traditional chants and blessings that she was to receive.

 Guests would dip their fingers in one of the bowls and touch the top of little angel’es head. It was beautiful to watch. Each person at the celebration wanted to hold her, and take a picture with her.


 After the time, they offered me some of their typical Coorgi elaborate Indian buffet. I accepted quickly. As I sat at my table while eating, I stopped for a moment and surveyed the room. It was filled with stunning colors from the women's dress. It was filled with laughter and love. What a beautiful custom, and beautiful culture.



 Yes... slowly my eyes filled with tears of joy  thinking of my Little grand son Dron the most beautiful gift I had already got!

MAMA


      Pray that your children and grandchildren will rise up and call you most blessed.

Snapshot of your personality!

Signature is like a snapshot of your personality. Do you know when you sign your name in a personal or professional communication; unknowingly you disclose much more about yourself.

 The way you write your letters small or large, dark or light, curved or angled, it gives a great insight into your character and your innermost thoughts. Writing reveals a lot about your temperament and nature. The way you sign your name represents about your personality traits enormously.
Signature is considered as an image, the writer wants to show to the outer world. and is a means by which the writer wants the world to see him/her.

Personality traits like honesty, communication abilities, creativity, emotional stability and self image can easily be determined just by analyzing a signature. Social skills, shyness, outgoing nature, confidence level and goal setting abilities can be identified by the way you write the letters when you sign.

Signature Analysis is based on seven components which are

1 Size of the Signature
2 Slant of the Signature
3 Use and Size of the first name and the last name
4 Underlining in the signature
5 Size of the first letter of the signature
6 Loops or backward strokes in the signature
7 Use of Dots in the signature 


A signature is illegible when the people have a great difficulty in reading the name. An illegible signature tells that the writer has a desire to be seen but he/she does not prefer to be noticed 
The writer loves to keep things in private and desires to keep his/her true identity unknown. An illegible signature also means that the writer seems to be in hurry. A person who has to sign plenty of time in a day often signs in a rush, and does not care about the signature legibility. Therefore it is important to combine other traits of the handwriting to do the right analysis.

What is the significance of your Signature Underline?
A simple straight line under the signature reveals that the writer is self reliant and believes in following rules and traditions blindly. When the underline is showy and a bit curly, it shows that the writer loves to seek attention and generally has an attention grabbing behavior. A zig zag line under the signature reveals the trait of uncertainty in the writer’s behavior. The longer the zig zag line, the unsure the writer is about his/her ability. Going back and forth by using a zig zag line under the signature brings out the confused attitude of the writer in terms of "yes I can " and "perhaps I can’t". A wavy or smile shaped underline is a strong indication about writers humorous behavior.


A signature which is completely different from the usual writing of the writer shows that the writer does not desire to disclose everything about him/her. When the signature is unlike the rest of the writers writing it shows that the writer wants to hide some aspects of his personality, and therefore he/she creates a new “identity” by creating the signature with a totally different look.

What does the Size of the Signature indicate?

The size of the signature mainly points out the writer’s wish to be noticed. If a signature is extremely large as compared to the handwriting it shows that the writer craves to be noticed, and is very bold and confident.
 Large bold signature typically indicates "notice me"!
 Medium sized signature shows the desire of the writer to just fit in.
Smaller size signature indicates less of a desire, or extremely no desire to be noticed.ants to be perceived by others and how he thinks others think of him.

 Therefore, oftentimes you’ll notice that the body of writing differs greatly from the signature; it is like an ordinary day’s clothing (body of writing) compared with your Sunday’s best (signature) where you only want to show off your best for people to see.

Your self-image can be determined by analyzing your signature. It will reveal your social skills, how you relate to your parents (especially your father), how honest you are, your stability, confidence level, and how you compare yourself to others. Those traits will be shown in the size of your signature, if it is slanting to the left or right, size of first name versus last name, how large or small the initial letters are, if there are any additional strokes above, under, or directly on the signature, pressure, length and width of individual strokes, where it is placed in relation to the rest of the writing, as well as many other details.

Here are some examples of what different signatures mean:
If the signature is about the same as the rest of the writing in its size, slant, pressure, and style the person will behave the same in public as in private. They don’t need to put up a mask to show something they are not when around others and with them what you see is what you get.
Sometimes you’ll see a signature that is slightly larger than the body of the writing which signifies that the writer has a healthy self esteem and confidence when around others.

When the signature is much larger than the writing, the author wants to be seen and heard wherever he goes. In actuality he feels a little small inside and therefore he tries to appear extra big to compensate for his insecurities. It is the same principle as in life: if someone constantly brags about his conquests in public, you can be sure that it is for the sole purpose of overcompensating for his doubts about himself in those very areas.
A signature that is smaller than the body of writing indicates insecurity. This person tends to be shy and would rather be in the shadows in a social situation. Getting attention is not on his list. 

How about two different styles in writing: the body is right slanted, while the signature is vertical?
 Right slanted writing signifies someone who freely expresses emotional feelings, is affectionate and passionate.
 A vertical slant is used by people who are always in control, level headed, and sho
A signature that is smaller than the body of writing indicates insecurity.
How about two different styles in writing: the body is right slanted, while the signature is vertical? 
Right slanted writing signifies someone who freely expresses emotional feelings, is affectionate and passionate.
A vertical slant is used by people who are always in control, level headed, and show no emotion. Well, his signature is his public persona, so he will appear cool at home (body of writing) he’ll be warm and tender with his family.



I’m sure that you have encountered the following quite often: legible writing with a scribbled signature; this person wants to make sure that you will be clear about what is written, but would rather not communicate anything about himself. This will be seen in people who are not in a direct relationship with you and always in a hurry, i.e. doctors.
