A puzzle to solve - Tick Tock Tick Tock goes the .......

This was the greatest puzzle I ever solved. Can you try and put the pieces together 

1)      if the uncle said you were 1 year old when jallianwala bagh massacare occured

2)     If the mom said you were born 8 to 10 days before Pongal/Sankranti festival

3)     If the grandfather said  you were born on a Sunday. 

Solve the date of  birth. We will discuss this in my tomorrow’s post :-).

In today’s world where accurate time is so readily available and even every modern appliance seems to have its own built in clock, imagine to be in times where there was no standard time being announced every hour. Sun and shadow was their only time sense.  lucky were those who might not have understood the words "rush", "stress" and “lack of time”.  

This marvel at the Jantar Mantar in India gives time to the precision of milli seconds based on the sun’s shadow.

Coming to the times of  the historical and grand church clocks, they were not just simply over sized house clocks adding grace to the building but also served as a link to the community’s past and were the time keepers where the  watches and house clocks could be set and appointments met.

It had taken the artists and brilliant minds behind these clocks several years or even decades to create these timeless wonders. These clocks work through the complex mechanisms that move the hands exposed to wind, rain and snow and the wires that pull heavy hammers to strike and chime bells.

This one made by Kamini from recycled materials like tawa, spoons, Gramphone record plates and so on..... Kamini go ahead and elaborate.

Yes you guessed it right – Clocks have made a big comeback and that too big big clocks. 

I have a large empty wall in my home and I decided to hang a large decorative wall clock in that space. As a first trial I tried to get one for myself by entering this giveaway from Anu at my dream canvas but no I was not lucky :-(.   I am still looking for clocks :-) 
  

and may be one of these I saw in the Crafts Mela will land on my wall. 

Tick Tock Tick Tock goes the clock and I have to now run for something equally exciting – water aerobics :-).  Stay tuned and we will talk about the date of the birth tomorrow.
