लो वसंत फिर आ गया..!

Vasant Panchmi | UdaipurBlog

दुनिया भर की टेंशन, फेसबुक-ट्विटर पर खुद को खोजते, इतनी सारी व्यस्तताओं और उलझनों के बीच हमारे मन का कोई हिस्सा अपने “होने” के एहसास को बचाने की भरसक कोशिश करता है और हमें बार बार ये एहसास कराता है कि हमारे अन्दर कुछ “अनूठा” अभी भी जिंदा है…मरा नहीं है.. हम अभी भी इतने “मेकेनिकल” नहीं हुए है, जितना हम अपने आप को मान लेते है.. और इन्ही तमाम उलझनों और टेंशनो के बीच हमारे मन ने आज खेतो में उगी पीली फसल
और उदयपुर की सड़कों पर आँखों में घुस रहे छोटे छोटे कीड़े “मोयला” (जिनसे सब डरते है) ने हमें जाता ही दिया है कि लो ऋतुराज बसंत आ ही गया. यूँ भी देखा जाये तो ये ऋतुएं किसी कलेंडर की मोहताज तो होती नहीं… हमारा मन ही इन्हें समझ जाता है… सर्दी किसी बुझती लौ की तरह अपनी तमाम ताकत का एहसास करवा रही है..तो समझ लो वसंत आ रहा है. वैसे एक बात तो है.. सर्दी-गर्मी-वर्षा..ये ऋतुएं हमारा तन समझता है… पर वसंत की अनुभूति हमारे मन तक होती है. आज वसंत पंचमी के दिन हमारे उत्तर भारतीय भाई तो पूरे पीले-केसरिया वस्त्र पहने अलग  ही आभा दे रहे होंगे. वीणा- सितार में राग बसंत गूंज रही होंगी.. सितार की बात आई तो बताते चले..हमारे बंगाली भाई आज माँ सरस्वती की पूजा करते हैं. माँ सरस्वती की कृपा हमें कुछ करने का जज्बा जगाती है. पर आज ज्यादा धार्मिक बातें करने का मन नहीं है सो माँ सरस्वती को यहीं प्रणाम.

Vasant Panchmi | UdaipurBlog

उदयपुर ब्लॉग के कर्ता-धर्ता..सभी परीक्षाओं में व्यस्त है .(माँ सरस्वती की सबसे ज्यादा याद तो इन्हें आ रही होंगी आज.. दो अगरबत्ती ज्यादा जलाने वाले
है..) दिल दिमाग फुर्सत पाना चाहता है. कड़ाके की ठण्ड से थोड़ी निजात मिली है. खिड़की से अन्दर आने वाली धूप अब थोड़ी थोड़ी चुभने लगी है. वसंत, तुम्हारे आते ही मौसम कसमसाने लगा है. सर्दी का मन तो नहीं है जाने का..बार बार लौट लौट कर अपने होने का एहसास करवा रही है.. प्रकृति ने चारो तरफ
पीला-केसरिया रंग उढेल दिया है.. गुनगुनी सर्दी दिल को कुछ ज्यादा ही बैचेन किये दे रही है. मन कह रहा है कि बस कुछ चमत्कार हो जाये और “वो” मेरे पास
हो.. दिल के करीब रहने वाले गीत लबों पर आने को बेताब है. मन अपनी चंचलपना पूरी शिद्दत से दिखा रहा है. मौन हैं..चकित है.. कि इस वसंत का एहसान माने, शुक्रिया अदा करें इसका..कि डांट लगायें.. वसंत का आगमन..बहार को देखकर मन उड़ चला है ..फिर से !

घर-घर चर्चा हो रही फूलों में इस बार लेकर वसंत आ रहा खुशियों का त्योहार बहरहाल मन की इन्ही अनसुलझी परतों के बीच ऋतुराज वसंत महाराज तो आ ही गए है. और ये जब जब आते है तो हमें किसी और ही पुरानी दुनिया में ले जाते है. किताबों का बोझ आज भी उतना ही है. बस जब छोटे थे तो “विद्या” पौधे की पत्ती ज़रूर किताबों में छुपा दिया करते थे. पीली सरसों अब उतनी दिखाई नहीं देती. टेरेस पर लगे पौधे पर ज़रूर गुलाब उग आया है. बड़ा सा… पर उसकी पत्तियों को किताब में सहेजना अब उतना अच्छा नहीं लगता. हवा की हलकी खनक आज भी महसूस होती है. शाम को फतहसागर फिर से जवां लगने लगा है. कुल्हड़ की कॉफी रंग जमा रही है. मौसम अलग सा मिज़ाज जता रहा है. मदहोशी फिर से छाने लगी है. वसंत आज हमें फिर से उकसा रहा है, उन पुराने दिनों को फिर से जीने को. आज जब हम अपने आप ही नाराज़ होने लगे है.. उदास ज्यादा और खुश कम होते है..पहले की मदहोशी और आज की मदहोशी के
मिज़ाज, सुर और परिभाषाएं, सब बदल गए है. तो आज के दिन कुछ अलग ढंग से वसंत के साथ कुछ अलग हटकर करते है.. पुराने दिनों को ताज़ा करते हुए  अलग ढंग से जीते है. आज खुद से नाराज़ न हो. सबसे कटे हुए, अलगाए हुए उदासीन न बैठे.. बस कुछ ऐसा करें कि ये दिन गुज़र न पाए…आज के खास दिन “मेकेनिकल लाइफ” को अलविदा कह दे. जिन चीजों को हम कई दिनों से नज़र-अंदाज़ कर रहे थे, उन्हें आज कर ही डालते है. चलिए इसी अंदाज़ में आज ऋतुराज का अभिनन्दन करें… वसंत मनाएं.. दिल को खूब खूब महकने दे..चहकने दे.. आप सभी को इस मनमोहक आनंदित कर देने वाली वसंत ऋतु
की बहुत बहुत बधाई.
आपका जीवन हमेशा वासंती रहे.

लो आ गयी लोहड़ी वे

Happy lohri

Happy lohri

पर्व त्यौहार का सीजन नए साल में फिर शुरू हो गया है. मौसम की नयी बहार के साथ लो जी…लोहड़ी आ ही गयी. पंजाब की शान- लोहड़ी अब सिर्फ पंजाब का त्यौहार नहीं रहा…  मकर सक्रांति से एक दिन पहले जिंदगी के हर लम्हे को जीने की सिख देने वाला ये त्यौहार अब पूरा देश उसी अंदाज़ में मनाता है.
बैसाखी त्यौहार की तरह लोहड़ी का सम्बन्ध यूँ तो पंजाब के गाँव, फसल और मौसम से जुड़ा है. पौष की कड़ाके की सर्दी से बचाव… भाईचारे के शाम… मौज मस्ती… नयी फसल के अच्छे होने की उमंग.. यही है लोहड़ी. पंजाब की सभ्यता का प्रतीक बना ये त्यौहार उदयपुर में भी पंजाबी समुदाय के बीच मुख्यतः मनाया जायेगा आज शाम..
ज़रा याद कीजिये ” वीर-ज़ारा” का वो गाना..जब अमिताभ, हेमा मालिनी के साथ साथ शाहरुख़ और प्रीटी ठुमके लगते हुए कहती है… “लो आ गयी लोहड़ी वे… बना लो जोड़ी वे…” ये कहना अतियोशक्ति नहीं होगी कि फिल्मो ने सारा प्रांतवाद ख़तम करके देश को एक सूत्र में पिरो दिया..जहाँ दक्षिण का मकर-विलक्कू पर्व हो या मध्य भारत की मकर सक्रांति.. या फिर उत्तर की लोहड़ी… सब एक हो गए है…
पंजाब में लोहड़ी की रात गन्ने के रस की खीर बनायीं जाती है जो अगले दिन माघी (मकर सक्रांति) के दिन खायी जाती है. ऐसा करना शुभ माना जाता है. यूँ तो लोहड़ी के साथ कई पुरानी रस्में और रंग जुड़े हैं पर समय के साथ अब इनका भी आधुनिकीकरण हो गया है.. पहले जहाँ गाँव में लोहड़ी के दिन गीत सुने देते थे, उनका स्थान अब “डीजे” ने ले लिया है.
कुछ भी हो, लेकिन आज भी लोहड़ी रिश्तों की मधुरता, आपस के प्रेम और सुकून का प्रतीक बनी हुई है. लोहड़ी की रात सगे-सम्बन्धियों, पड़ोसियों के साथ बैठकर हंसी-मजाक, नाच-गाना रिश्तो में नयी मिठास भर देता है. UdaipurBlog.com टीम ये उम्मीद करती है कि पवित्र अग्नि का यह त्यौहार मानवता को सीधा रास्ता दिखाने और रूठो को मनाने का जरिया बनेगा…
शहर में सिख कालोनी में आज शाम लोहड़ी की पवित्र अग्नि जलेगी… हर मन कह उठेगा…लो आ गयी लोहड़ी वे… तिल- गुड खाने और डीजे पर ठुमके लगाने… आप आ रहे है न… !!!!
आप सभी को लोहड़ी की बहुत बहुत शुभकामनाएं….

Resolutions: Welcome 2012

Days passed, months ended and here we are about to bid goodbye to 2011 . Yes! Its high NEW YEAR TIME guys and apart from celebrations, hangouts and shopping, everyone wants to get the best out of them in the upcoming year 😀 The first thing that clicks every individual’s mind is WHAT changes they want in them, WHAT new they intend to bring in their life :O. As we all are aware that human wants and zests are unlimited, so the identification of immediate longing plays an enormous role. This is what defines a resolution.

Whenever I see New Year approaching, the first thought in my mind (of course after deciding the New Year gift) is what to resolve for the next year. One should adjudicate their goals according to their capabilities. To share old memories, in our School times, every girl (GIRLS CONVENT SCHOOL) had to resolve the best thing she aspires. Though we never followed what we resolved, but it was fun knowing what everyone wanted to achieve. Funny upshots came up like “I WOULD DATE THE BEST GUY OF THE CITY”, “I WOULD MAKE MYSELF A PERFECT ZERO FIGURE”  and many more ( trust me, girls don’t miss a single chance to prove themselves SILLY). One of the toppers of the class suggested providing lunch to the poor children (TO MENTION-the children coming to our very own school for free education). That soon became the resolution of our whole class, and believe me, that CHARITY gave the best of the feel deep down the heart.

Coming back to the concerned topic, there are many resolutions one can take to make himself, his family, and even the entire city happier and a joy to live in 2012. To give a start, I can see almost all the youngsters, despite knowing about the disadvantages and the health issues that may arise in the future are addicted to consumption of drugs, liquor, and most of all, Hukkah. A local paper of Udaipur dated 21st December 2011, reads out that Udaipurites have resolved to fight against the consumption of anti-social consumables like Liquor, Cigarettes, Hukkah, etc, which is a statement of pride in itself. Surveys also state and swear that Hukka is being banned in Udaipur from the very first day of 2012 itself. With the rising drug addiction and high stream of money, it’s high time to make everyone aware about the pros and cons of these drugs.

With high number of poverty stuck illiterate people, it’s our responsibility to raise voice against expanding social issues like child marriage, female infanticide/feticide (Both are at its highest peak in Rajasthan). It is the duty of Youth to resolve to scrap out these problems as well as ameliorate them among the ignorant. This can be the next resolution in one’s life if someone really wants to help the society as well.

Huge numbers of accidents are taking place in the city because of rash driving. Recently the cover story in a local daily reported against a boy aged 16 years riding his bike at 120 plus kmph, and hitting a herd (group of cattle) that came on the same way. So everyone should resolve to prove to be good citizen and prove to be a better human. Let no animal be injured, but most important, be responsible while driving on the roads, as you are even responsible for the traffic that move around you.

Bringing the most important topic into concern and admiring my own city-the city of lakes. We all know its beauty has made it the favourite tourism spot in whole of the Rajasthan, and even the world. So, resolving to keep the city clean and being eco friendly will be a great contribution. It is in our hands to take Udaipur to a new height. There are many points one can just start up with. So Udaipurites- think innovative, give a chance to yourself, resolve high and achieve big.

For the cessation, I would just end up saying that do something which brings a positive alteration because WE, THE YOUTH CAN CREATE A DIFFERENCE 😀

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone in advance. 🙂

देशी सैलानियों में इस वक़्त गुजरात, दिल्ली और बंगाल के सर्वाधिक पर्यटक आ रहे हैं. अंदरूनी शहर में लगभग जाम की स्थिति बनी हुई है. ट्राफिक पुलिस ने सिटी पेलेस मार्ग को चौपहिया वाहनों के लिए एक तरफ़ा कर दिया है. पेलेस मुजियम को देखने आने वालो को भी लाइन में इंतज़ार करना पड़ रहा है. दूध तलाई, रोप वे, जगदीश मंदिर, मोती मगरी, लोक कला मंडल, बाघोर की हवेली  इस वक़्त मेहमानों से रोशन है. गुलाबी सर्दी में पिछोला के पानी को निहारते सैकड़ों विदेशी और देशी सैलानी इन दिनों नज़र आ जायेंगे. पर्यटक यहाँ शिल्पग्राम में चल रहे मेले का भी भरपूर आनंद ले रहे हैं. वहां मेवाड़ के देसी व्यंजन उन्हें खूब भा रहे हैं. देश के हर कोने कोने से आये हस्त-शिल्प उन्हें यहाँ शिल्पग्राम में लघु-भारत का आभास दे रहे हैं. शाम को होने वाले सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम भी खूब मन मोह रहे हैं.

मेट्रो शहरों की उबाऊ पार्टियों से दूर अब सैलानी प्रकृति से भरपूर और शांत शहरों की ओर रुख करने लगे हैं. udaipurblog.com टीम ने जब शहर में भ्रमण कर रहे सैलानियों से उनके अनुभव जानने चाहे तो एक ही बात सामने आई कि उन्हें उदयपुर की झीलें और यहाँ के शांत लोग सबसे ज्यादा आकर्षित करते हैं. वे यहाँ यहाँ बार बार आने से खुद को रोक नहीं प़ा रहे. फरीदाबाद से अपने पूरे परिवार के साथ शहर घूमने आये श्री विनोद जैन को शहर का रेलवे स्टेशन भी अलग लगा. वे प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य से बहुत प्रभावित नज़र आये. मुंबई से आये एक युवा समूह ने झील के किनारे एक होटल में पार्टी की लिए पूरी तैयारी कर ली हैं. वे शहर भ्रमण के साथ साथ आस-पास के पर्यटन स्थलों की तरफ भी रुख कर रहे हैं. सूरत से आये एक गुजरती परिवार की डेल्ही गेट से कर को ट्राफिक पुलिस उठा कर ले गयी, क्योकि शौपिंग करते हुए वे अपनी कर को गलत जगह पार्क कर गए थे. 24 परगना (पश्चिम बंग)जिले से आये चक्रवर्ती परिवार लगातार तीसरी बार उदयपुर आया है.. परिवार की एक बुज़ुर्ग सदस्य हँसते हँसते कहती है… पधारो म्हारे देस की धुन उन्हें बार बार यहाँ आने का न्योता दे रही है. कोई “नटराज” के खाने से मोहित नज़र आया तो किसी को लोक कला मंडल की कठपुतली शो ने चमकृत कर दिया. पिछोला में पड़ रही लेक पेलेस और जग मंदिर कि रौशनी से कोई अपनी नज़र नहीं हटा प़ा रहा तो करणी माता, माछला मगर  से शहर को निहारने की भी ललक किन्ही आँखों में दिखाई दे रही है…. बहरहाल आगामी पांच-सात दिनों तक शहर पर्यटकों से यू ही आबाद रहने वाला हैं.

चलते चलते– udaipurblog.com द्वारा शहर में पधारे पर्यटकों को सलाह दी जाती है कि वे अनधिकृत गाइडों और लपकों के बहकावे में न आयें. अपने वाहन निर्धारित स्थानों पर ही पार्क करें. किसी भी प्रकार की असुविधा होने पर वहां उपस्थित पुलिस अथवा आमजन की मदद ली जा सकती है. उदयपुर आने की प्लानिंग करने वाले दोस्तों से निवेदन है कि कृपया पहले एडवांस बुकिंग करवा कर ही शहर में पधारे, ताकि अनावश्यक असुविधा से बचा जा सके.

Welcoming The Season Of Hibernation – The Season Of Silent Love.

winters

Hands in hands, a long walk along the pal of fatehsagar, shivering by the frosty breeze, holding a kulhad of hot sipping coffee and relishing soft romantic music in my ears.

It is a way to rejoice yourself in this chilling season.

For now, it was a day dream, I am sitting in the balcony of my room, fully loaded with sweater, scarf and socks, holding a large mug of coffee in my hands and earpieces plugged in my ears, eyes closed and dreaming of that fatehsagar scene.

Here I am. I am welcoming winters in my balcony, in my own way.

winters

Usually not so wintry Udaipur, this time observing a much drop of temperature, a sudden thrush of cold breeze.

Winters….the cold season of the year, with icy shivering breeze and early morning dews. This is the most beautiful time, from November to February, when one can observe and silently feel the charming beauty which nature has given to us; it’s beautiful from one morning till next morning. For early morning we are provided by fog and mist, then mild warm rising sun which gives golden shade to the fallen drops of dew on the green flora.

It is the mausam to enjoy Gajar ka Halwa, Bajre ki Raab, Garma Garam Pakode, and various types of soups from our mother’s kitchen, the time to wander out on the streets to add the taste of Rewadi n Gud (Jaggery) Mungfali Chakki to our tongue, studying hard for our exams in the blankets, and to rejoice the perfect silent mode of nature. To add up, nature has given us a different swing of taste, grapes and oranges are the winter fruits.

But unfortunately, on the other hand of this seasonal celebration, there are many people for whom this biting cold brings  suffering; they are not the part of our enjoyment, they don’t have proper clothes to wear, no food and no shelter. This is an unfair part of our society that they are suffering and we are celebrating.

So udaipurities, prove your humanity, donate your old wears and some food to the needy people, so as to compensate their suffering to a little extent.

And in this way, with the new resolution in our life, we will be cherishing this cold season in a much better way.

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy winters.

Chilly winters and Samor Bagh

Samor Bagh Udaipur

Tibet Market

An open ground comprised of 56 small stalls contended by refugee Tibetan families, and that’s how Samor Bagh looks now. However, 15 years back it didn’t look like this. No one in Udaipur knew about this place, but now days it is very popular among all Udaipurites. If someone has to buy woolen wears the first name which comes in the mind is Samor Bagh. People at Udaipur have a strong feeling that there they can avail all different varieties of winter apparel and accessories at cheap and best price as compared to other shops and showrooms.

samor bagh udaipur

While talking to Mr. Tee Jampa, (President of Tibetan association, Udaipur) I was able to read the struggles which he and his community have faced.  I was very curious to know the story behind and I’m sure everyone will be interested to know their story. He narrated that in 1959 when china attacked on Tibet, around 80-90 thousands of people along with Dalai Lama fled to India and settled down in five different states. Before 45 years 25-30 refugees (ancestors) came up to the lake city in search of livelihood and started selling hand woven woolen clothes by wandering door to door. Slowly, people started accepting their products which has sober colors and designs. The other reason behind mass acceptance was the rate and quality of products.

After some time they took permission from municipality and started selling their manufactured goods at footpaths of Surajpol near Ashoka Talkies. They also established their market in Chetak and Town hall in 80s. In few years municipality didn’t allow them to carry on further. They were highly disappointed that time. Maharaja Mahendra Singh Pratap of Mewar sent a letter to nomads expressing that he’s really sad that they (followers of Dalai Lama) are facing in his city. He’ll be grateful if they would use his piece of land named Samor Bagh near Gulab Chowk.

Finally they shifted to Samor bagh and now it’s been 17 years they are operating there only. He also told us that the rent which the king charges is very less as compared to other landowners and government bodies. The rent is divided equally among all 56 members. The other problem which they face is MRP of the materials which they sale. To curb this issue in 2006 they have made an alliance called “Tibetan Refugee Trader’s Association” where they discuss about the rate and various other concerns which causes hindrance to them in fostering their business. Besides this, the association also helps Tibetans in binding them socially from all over India.

The stalls consist of both handmade and machine made. Mr. Palden (Gen. Secretry) told us that they started manufacturing the machine made products before 30 years from Ludhiana as the demand of such goods were high. They order the products according to the penchant of the city’s populace.  Every year these Tibetans came from different states mostly from Himanchal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, U.P. and Bihar for 3-4 months and sale the stuffs. While rest of the months these refugees subsist on agriculture and small shops.

Samor Bagh Udaipur

Life is very tough especially for these Tibetans who are refugees and still struggling for their country from more than 50 years. With this winters there are many other things which come in this city and Tibetans are one among them.  They are very gentle people we all should love and respect them and also try to give them a little space in our heart so they can also easily mingle with us.
