27 Simple mehndi designs for hands for Karwa Chauth

The most simple mehndi designs for hands for Karwa Chauth 2014

Karwa Chauth is around the corner and I am so excited about getting mehndi done! This time I plan to go with a simple yet quirky design. Don’t want my hands full, however it needs to be a style statement for this year’s most awaited festival for us ladies! There are some basic categories of mehndi designs, such asGujrati, Rajasthani, Marwari, Arabic and African patterns to choose from. They have certain prominent motifs or symbols that distinguishes one from the other. I just can’t seem to stop experimenting with these styles. From circles to squares,peacocks and paisleys, checks and dots and what not. But my all-time favorite is a simple, curling vine, of course finger tips covered with thick coating of aromatic mehndi (which is so traditional).Simple mehndi design for hands 75
Quirky patterns include traditional as well as non-traditional patterns tweaked to one’s own liking. This includes animals, unusual floral design, hearts, stars, moon and sun. But then, these unusual designs can be really simple and eye-catching! For some extra embellishment, mehndi artists also apply colors, gems, crystals and glitter paint.

Some Do’s and Don’ts to remember when applying mehndi to your hands –

Do’s:
  1. Mehndi takes around 3 hours to dry once applied. Besides, keep another hour as buffer. Stay comfortable. No tasks to be undertaken and also make sure to stay away from texting/making calls etc. at that time.
  2. Apply a mixture of lemon and sugar after 30 minutes to 1 hour of mehndi application on your hands. It enhances the color.
  3. If you want mehndi to dry quickly, expose it to heat. Hair dryer can come handy! Alternatively, you can steam the design, seal it, and wrap it up with polythene bag.Simple mehndi design for hands 95
Don’ts:
  1. Apply mehndi atleast 2 days before Karwa Chauth. The colour usually gets richer over the first couple of days. So, don’t keep it for the last day!
  2. Don’t go for a complicated/highly detailed/intricate design (Marwari or Rajasthani design) if you are a super busy lady. It will obviously take more time for the paste to dry. If you really want to go for one, then Zuri recommends using a hair dryer as it helps mehndi dry faster and stain quicker.
Mehndi is such a pretty ornament to wear on special occasions, wedding andKarwa Chauth being the most important of all. Such an art and so much fun. Aromatic and beautiful when being applied, crisp when drying-up and so much happiness it gives when stays for long. Oh! I am so excited and hope you are too!

Death of a Star! in Bollywood

When I was flipping through my Diary 2002 the other day, my jottings about Monal’s tragic end beckoned me and brought to my mind a host of awesome nostalgic thoughts. I had a feeling of déjà vu as the dead artist again touched a chord in my heart. How would emotionally deplete artists behave when driven to wall? [Read on…] Monal, a starlet from Bollywood, hung herself to death on the Tamil New Year’s Day. A strange quirk of fate played havoc with her life, putting off her promising career of becoming an icon in the Kollywood. TV visuals showed her sleeping eternally on a bier; she was a feast to flies that were swarming her lissome body … a body that set fire to the hearts of thousands of her fans. Monal’s premature death moved me to a great extent not because she was one of the upcoming actors of the Kollywood and a diva for whom the tinsel world plumped rather madly, but because it set me thinking as to what led the young actor to kill herself savagely in the middle of her
