Question 1: Do you think all the Sikhs wearing bangle in whatever form are such people and they don’t get angry?
Anger is a normal human emotion. The Sikhs are human too.If the Sikhs never get angry, then that means they became ‘Godly’. The idea is to control the anger as much as we can using any ‘tools’ that are available. Some people count from 10 to 0, some people use chemicals but there are better ways. The Sikh bangle is a symbol of God having no beginning or end. In our culture ‘Kala Bhairava’ has no beginning or end. Bangle is a circle. The circle has no beginning or end. Thats why our culture invented “Zero”.The rest of the world initially laughed at us when they first encountered Zero. They said zero has no value. Look who is laughing now !!! In many parts of our country, the most respected, honorable people are addressed as “Total Zeroes”.If you want more proof I can gladly provide it.
Question 2: if bangles have such a proven benefits why is that men don’t wear it as a common practice ?
Why don’t you wear it ? Men worked in the farmland. Have you tried working in the field with both hands full of bangles ? Men working in an electronic lab wear a bangle connected to the earth(bhumi devi) so the static energy from their body discharges to the dhathri (earth).This is one of the reason why traditionally married woman wear metal ring on the second toes of both their feet. In the next sentence you said women are different from men.In that sense comparing men and women are as bad as comparing apples and oranges.
Question 3: Moreover, ‘wearing bangles’ is an idiom attributed to ‘womanlyness’. That is why when we want to tease a man as an powerless, impotent, loser etc. we say “go and wear bangles”. How do you explain this?
‘wearing bangles’ is NOT ‘womanlyness’. In fact womanliness has absolutely nothing to do with wearing bangles. If someone want to tease a man as a powerless, impotent, loser etc by calling them a woman, then that man does not have any respect for women. Lets not forget we all came from a woman. This is the reason(one of the reasons) why we call our land as Mother land(Bhaarath Matha). Western cultures like Germany etc call their land as Father land.The father cannot give birth. There is too much western influences in our country these days.
Question 4: Traditions are traditions, they can be understood, if you want to, only in that socio-cultural framework. Physical, physiological and psychological science need not come here :
Are you saying “anything a westerner says is science” and anything we say is superstition, eastern mysticism etc ? Unfortunately I have to disagree. Unlike western traditions, our traditions if they are followed by a major community then it is based on ‘science’, Engineering and beyond ! When I wakeup in the morning, ‘traditionally’ I touch the Mother Earth with my hand to say sorry because I am going to step on her. Why ?.. Because I am a Scientist, Engineer and Inventor who started learning serious psychology at 10 years of age thats why. Now for the science behind it, the human body produces static electric voltage between 10000 volts to 14000 volts. This happens when you are not in contact with the earth(rubber sandals,shoes,bed etc). If you been to colder places like canada, north america,europe etc you learn how painful this is. So by touching the earth you are discharging the static through the upper part of your body. Electric current is the flow of negatively charged electrons. When these negative charges are gone from the upper body whats left is positive charge.This means your upper body have more positive energy for the rest of the day ! Now for the psychological part, the act of saying sorry(to a friend, mother, sister, wife, father etc) makes us humble, free and happy. Try saying to your wife “I am sorry for not recognizing what you are doing for me everyday, but from now on I will value you more than me” and see how her face lights up. You will live like a King, I promise.
End Note: I could give you so many examples and write a 1000 books about our Bhaaratheeya(Hindu) traditions but time, space and money does not allow me. I gotta work to eat ! If I have used sharp words in my explanations, its my way of giving an electric shock so the dark corners of your brain lights up.
Traditional Indian Glass Bangle. Glass is a descendent of ceramic; which was used in the Indus Valley Civilization for making bangles. Archeologists have unearthed bangle fragments of a material they termed "vitreous paste". If this material had been heated to a high enough temperature (above 1260 F, the point at which vitrification occurs), the result would have been a kind of glass. [ Buy Rights ]

The first thing to run through my head with Begins with B was the song "wearing baubles, bangles and bright shiny beads". Well those aren't packed yet, so here they are, lol
We still have no water, it's over 24 hours and things are not too pleasant!! Managed to buy bottled water last night for drinking - but as for the rest - well!! Do hope the powers that be manage to fix it soon, or make some arrangement with a water tanker! Can you believe the pumping equipment was stolen??

This is my fourth attempt to apply the "Rorschach" technique to a bangle. I used a rainbow cane made specifically for the bangle and some leftover scrap canes.
A picture of the clay veneer is here: www.flickr.com/photos/bridget_dercs_photos/6862327234/
I used the same building block from Honeycomb Bangle by Cynthia Rutledge. I made the peyote band and started building up from it.
At last I could find my way to transfer a colored image onto raw clay and make a big hollow bangle bracelet! It took me ages! Imagine how I am happy!

Lac Jewellery, (lacquer jewellery) originated in Jaipur, India. Bangles made of Lac are mostly in bright color and the glass work makes them more attractive.
The bangles of lac consist of an inner-core that has a covering of thin layer of superior quality lac. Core lac, when mixed with a material similar to white clay, strengthens the bangle. The heating, mixing, kneading, and hammer pounding of the parched ingredients takes place repeatedly and dough like mass is formed which is then heated
The shaping is done by suppressing the length of lac into grooves (colored) on every side of the mould. The lac takes the shape of the groove into which it is forced.
To decorate lac bangles in bright and admirable designs, craftsman imparts intricate designs on it. Rhinestone crystal, vibrant colors, semi precious stones, pearls, mirror and glass work are used to embellish these bangles.
