Ugadi Origin & Significance:

Ancient way of celebrating is still in practice these days. People wake up in the morning, clean the house and decorate with mango leaves and spring flowers. After bath they wear new cloths. Then pray to God and Diseased. Ugadi Pachadi will be distributed by the head of the family. Its believed that, if any body eats Ugadi pachadi on the Ugadi day, which is the combination of 6 tastes represent different emotions of life, like happy, sad, up and downs.

Ugadi is the first day of lunisolar based Hindu calendar. Most Hindu calendars are based on an ancient treatise popularly known as Surya Siddhanta. As per Hindu beliefs, the treatise of Surya Siddhanta was revealed to mankind by the Lord Surya himself. Hence the origin of Ugadi might be impossible to date.
As per Vedic astrology the day of Ugadi is very significant. The day of Ugadi falls under Sadhe Teen Muhurat. In Vedic Astrology, Ugadi, Akshaya Tritiya, Vijayadashami and half of Bali Pratipada create Sadhe Teen Muhurta and these days need no Muhurta. It is believed that all work conducted on these days give positive results.

Ugadi Pachadi Making Procedure:

Morning before the breakfast people eat Ugadi pachadi( Ugadi chutney), it’s the combination of 6 different tastes. They are specifically( sweet, salty, spicy, tangy, sour and bitter).

Neem flowers for bitterness
Tender mango for sourness
Tamarind water for tanginess
Green chilies for spiciness
Table salt for saltiness
Sugarcane for sweetness

Clean the neem flowers and separate petals. Make tamarind paste by soaking in water for 30 min and squeeze the water by pressing the pulp. Cut the green chilies to finely chopped pieces. Mango to small pieces. And finally sugarcane into bite sizes. You can buy all in Indian grocery stores near you. Mix all ingredients into the bowl and serve.

Some of the important Ugadi rituals:

Taking oil bath i.e. Abhyang Snan
Hosting flag in home
Eating tender leaves of Neem
Panchanga Sravanam
Beginning of Chaitra Navratri

How to convert WMF files to PNG files

wmf to png

If you want to convert wmf (windows metafile) files to png(Portable Network Graphics) files for whatever the reason, please follow the steps below.
Yes, I tried few free conversion tools and some other methods, but they don’t give you the quality you would normally expect from a png file. The major issue is, when you stretch the image it gets pixelate. So, after searching online for some time with some trial and error, I found below method that suits my requirement. Please follow the steps below.

Drag and drop or insert wmf files in to MS Word document (I’m using MS office pro 2016). No need to arrange the files in any specific order or no need to do anything, except drag & drop.
Then, press Alt + F11 keys to open MS Visual Basic for applications.
Click on Run button as shown below, then Macro dialog box appears. Enter a name to the macro “ImageResize”, then click on “Create” button.

Enter the code shown below in method “ImageResize”.

Dim i As Long
 With ActiveDocument
 For i = 1 To .InlineShapes.Count
 On Error GoTo ProcError
 With .InlineShapes(i)
 .ScaleHeight = 500
 .ScaleWidth = 500
 End With
ProcError:
 Resume Next
 Next i
 End With

Now press F5, to run the Macro to resize all the images in the document.
Then, save the file as (Save as) “Web page (*.htm;*.html)”.

Go to the location where the file is saved, you can find a folder with the same name as the file, open it, you can see all .png files, good quality png files.
