212_Almond



Today's word is Almond. 


Our "Top Nut" award goes to the almond. Here are the main nutrients in one ounce of almonds (a medium-size handful):


166 calories
5 grams of protein
14 grams of fat (90 percent unsaturated)
4 grams of fiber (the highest fiber content of any nut or seed), unblanched
80 milligrams of calcium
1.4 milligrams of zinc
1 milligram of iron
6.7 milligrams of vitamin E
some B-vitamins, minerals, and selenium


Almonds have the most vitamin E (6.7 milligrams per ounce) - nearly 25 percent of the adult recommended dietary allowance. Almonds, because they are high in the amino acid tryptophan, are a good nut for sleep.

periya pista??

Periya Pista

This is an abstract art to show that the consumption of  Pista chiyo ??? in the world is increasing  and India is still lagging behind.I  appeal to all Chumma drawers to consume at least 100 gms of Pista each day. Olden days in Tamilnadu, lot of Street Porukkis (thugs/goons/taporis) used to die/long  for it..any fella who s new to town and show off..they ask ..
""" ENnnada..periya Pista vaaaaaaaaa"" ..
Hence I dedicate this old acrylic work on canvas  of mine  for this humble case of Pista..
Hope you all like it..:))))..Rajani..enna aachu??

Pista!

Veena


Ma Sarasvati v Veena

We used to recite this shloka in our school every morning
Ya Kundendu Tushaara Haara Dhavalaa
Ya Shubhra Vastraavrita
Ya Veena Vara Danda Manditakara
Ya Shveta Padmaasana

Ya Brahma Achyutaha Shankara Prabrithibhih
Devai Sadaa Poojitha
Saa Maam Paatu Saraswathi Bhagavati
Nishyesha Jyaadyaapaha

Saraswati Vandana Meaning

Oh Goddess Sarasvathi,
who is fair as a jasmine flower,
the moon or a snow flake,
who is dressed in white
and whose hands are adorned by veena,
who is seated in a white lotus,
to whom Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara pray,
please protect us.

Veene

Flute Guru!

Kanha.......


The famous Carnatic Flutist Dr Ramani


Flute

Flute by pRiyA
 I did this in 1998. This picture was one of my first assignments ever as an illustrator.
I was looking through these old pictures yesterday and when I came across this one I remember thinking, " If Chumma Draw had the word 'Flute' I could use this". And then this morning in my inbox there was 'Flute' at Chumma Draw!

203_Flute


Today's word is Flute. 


"Of all the wind instruments, the flute can do the most things the most easily. A fine performer on a flute can dash up a scale and down again so quickly that our ears cannot separate the notes. A flutist can skip and jump from note to note so lightly that the music reminds us of the quickness of a rabbit or of a gazelle. He can swoop and turn and trill the notes until we think that we are hearing a bird. Musicians say that a flute can do anything!"

~ Jean Craig, in The Woodwinds (Lerner Publications, 1963)
