So it's been 9 weeks already I started playing and this morning, while cleaning the bathroom, I was juggling with the comments from last week video. You guys were asking where were my slurs lol. In my methods I'm not there yet but what the heck! I started humming a little air and soon I had to drop my rubber gloves and rush to the violin to try it!
I practice barely 2 hours including trying to put it on notepad finale (a big fail, but I will try again next week). Even though it's not played as well as it will be in a week I wanted to share it with you guys right away instead of waiting. I add a little slideshow for the fun of it.
So here is OH MY SLURS! I'll try to come up with the sheet music soon.

NV, you never cease to amaze us! That was excellent!
Your creative powers are wasted, have you ever thought if doing more?
Salut!
I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....

Excellent bit of composition, NV. And we can definitely hear the slurs. Very good. Congrats.

@NoirVelours You never stop amazing us. I can't wait to see it written out.
@suresh I was watching the video you put up, I was intrigued at how the violin is turned instead of moving the bow to change strings.

Thanks all! Slurs are new from this morning for me so I need more practice to make them
sound smooth. They are a lot less hard to play when I was expecting. I guess I was anticipating them in a negative way :p
@gkeese, a slur is 2 or more notes played in a single bowing instead of changing direction each notes.

As a listener I do not particularly hear slurs or other "ornaments", but rather try to sync with the spirit of the music. Your piece struck me as a possible dance and very European but appealing.
@suresh
I found your RARA VENU to be mesmerizing. Maybe you can cast spells with your music 
I really am fascinated with the musical scales and general sound of the music. How different the violin becomes !
EEEeheee! Nice! Love the music.... and your cats ...and ferret! ^-.-^ 
You are doing great with the slurs, don't understand why You don't like them.!.
<- Can i call him Patrik? 
he does look just like Patrick. Now we need a Spongebob and a Squidward and of course Gary.

Wow, not only is this a nice piece, but you sound really good. It really is amazing that you've only been playing 9 weeks and yet you sound like this!

I never said I was not liking them, just was sure they were super hard to do but I was mistaken!

cpiasminc is a better person to explain as he plays carnatic music. To some extent the attached video answers you...
