TV or not TV
Never let the television and the entertainment center become the social heart of a room. The television is not conducive to socializing and it is not the heart or soul of anything. Television can be educating, but it is normally a passive way to spend time. There are two important places in any room: that special area where people can focus on one another, and the zone of tranquility that turns the focus inward and onto the soul.

Indian Toran
The Indian toran is a lovely overhead decoration that Sanctifies the home and reinforces the nature of the godliness within us and within our personal domain. The toran, which is often seen in the home, is frequently created out of embroidered and mirror-work fabric and hung over the interior of the entrance door. The toran brings good luck and blessings to the occupants and anyone who enters the home. It is a gesture full of kindness and reverence.
