...in the beginning

Why kamala? Well, the short version...because edelweiss was taken :)... Just kidding :)
Honestly, kamala is hindi for lotus flower...and right now I want to be just like one.
Why baingani kamala? Since I chose to use a hindi word, I continued in hindi...and yes, you are right, baingani is an adjective...so the complete translation would be : purple lotus.
Why this name?
I like symbols. The world is filled with them and people use them all the time. Symbols can tell a complete story but only if you want to listen. If you are still with me it means that you use them too...so hello my friend.
The purple lotus is a symbol for strength, power, wealth. The lotus it self is a symbol for rebirth, strength and last, but not least...enduring beauty. Did you ever see a lotus flower? Its beauty is hypnotic...most of all because it grows out of mud. During day time its flower glows upon the mud and water and at night sinks back, but only to reappear the next day more beautiful than ever...Isn`t it wonderful?
As you must have guessed by now I need to feel like a lotus. If a lotus flower can reappear stronger and beautiful every day, I can do it too...and the description of this blog would than be: What does not kill you, makes you...beautiful.
Until next time, yours truly,



Kamala... Baingani Kamala :)
