Independence Day- the day when British left the golden bird free from their rule. But the bird was left looted, harassed, with the slightest of hope to survive. Then followed a long fight for the survival of golden bird. 64 years have passed and the country is still ‘developing’. The whole world says and even we believe that we are the citizens of an independent country. But a question always keep on hovering in my mind, the answer to which I never found out. You also give it a try. Is India really free? Are we not bound by so many handcuffs of ever growing poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, crimes, men-women inequality, limited technology and the worst of all which potentiate other bounding forces too- Corruption?
Team UdaipurBlog gathered some statistics. Have a look and you all will support me.

Shocked seeing the figure?? Don’t be because there is still a large figure behind the scene which the CBI has failed to suspect.
“Angrez chale gaye par inhe chod gye”- the best phrase that can describe our corrupt politicians and high commanding officers. And why only blame these famous names. Even an ordinary man is giving them a tough competition- Wrong ways to save income tax, Under table income, and what not. Fighting with any outsider is easy but how to fight with someone amongst ourselves. How to punish a crow from within a group of parrots? And what adds to the tragedy is that everyone is inside this dirty cave of corruption. Those who are in the light of honesty and truthfulness don’t want to make an initiative to clean this dirt.
A grand salute to those great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Swami Vivekanand, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Bhagat Singh who broke a revolt against British and drove them back to their home. Today again we need such leaders to drive corruption out of this beautiful country. Then we all will proudly say that “Yes!! We are the citizens of an independent country which flies unbound in the sky of glory and success”.
Happy Independence Day to all from Udaipur Blog!! Let us vow to make our country a free bird again.
Finally, the festive season has begun and after the monsoon greenery, its time to see the festive colors all around. The market is lad in colors and is ready to welcome you with every possible thing which makes your festival a complete one.
India is considered rich in culture not only because we have so many festivals marked in our calendar, but because here every relation is a festival in itself. It s not about celebrating these festivals but it is about thanking God for each and every relationship He’s bestowed us with.
The forthcoming and the most awaited festival RAKHI is on its way to start with the spat of Indian festivals. It is considered as one of the most beautiful relationship in this world- a relationship of a brother and a sister. The endless small fights and the never ending love between a brother and a sister makes it pure as an elixir. You find a care of a father, a scolding of a mother and an advice of a friend in this relationship.
Thanks to UB that I got a chance to write something on this heavenly festival which means more then a world to me.
This RAKHI is very special to me as after this my bro will not be with me for the next four years. Bro no matter how much the distance between us, but I know you’ll be there with me as always whenever I’ll need you. I’ll miss you a lot and this was the best possible way I could express my love for you. It is an unconditional bond of love. The essence it carries and the aroma it creates is like a meditation to the soul. No matter what happens, no matter how badly you get into trouble, you know that your bro or sis will be always there to stand by you. You can share all your secrets with them , of course, with a little tension that they might come out of their mouth if you happen to fight with them but still with a trust that they won’t let it out.
Cheers to such a crazy, funny and a lovely relationship of a bro and a sis. I feel blessed to be a part of it. Thank you God and thanks mum and dad for this precious and ever-lasting gift. I still remember how badly I used to crave for it above all my dolls n toys.
A very Happy Rakshabandhan to all the Udaipies.
Enjoy and have fun and a special note for every sis- Don’t leave your brother without the gifts. 🙂

On Friendship Day evening – the crowd convened on fatehsagar to enjoy the Rocking Performance of the ‘Octive Band’ who represented the theme of Friendship with the Nature in the event ‘Karo Dosti Nature ke Sath’. 🙂
The motive of the event was to make people befriend the Nature and persuade them to grow green and plant trees this Monsoon. 1000 plants were distributed during the event to support this motive. The concept of the Event was by the young Chaps of Udaipur – Sahil Thakur and Piyush. The event commenced at 6p.m. which was hosted by Anchor Piyush and Managed by Frozen Apple Events and Entertainment. The event was presented by Our Real Estate Pvt. Ltd. and ‘The Safal Society of Education & Social Welfare’ and Supported by – 94.3 My Fm, Swastik Digital Studio, Amul Namkeen, Rajkamal Tent House, Ashoka Bakery, JMB and your very own UdaipurBlog.com 🙂
We would love to see more of such events happening to make people aware of social issues and taking to Social Activities
Someone has rightly said “Pictures speak Louder than Words”. So I have no words for these amazing monsoon photography entries. Just check them out and comment about the one you like the most. 🙂
Already a great weather outside, isn’t it? So do you want to have fun, go for a picnic with family or hangout with friends? Are you confused which place to go and what can be the journey distance? Confused about the path? Let us suggest you few good locations for the same, and solve your queries. In the same series, we first bring to you a cool, peaceful location in the nature’s lap, the people who know it guessed right, I am talking about Nandeshwar Ji.
Nandeshwar is about 15kms from Udaipur. It is Lord Shiva’s temple situated in the vicinity, because of which, the place is more commonly known as Nandeshwar ji (most famous name for Udaipies.) The place has a beautiful pond and is full of amazing flora and fauna. You can spend your time there by taking a look of awesome beauty of nature, and also enjoy in flowing water (but with ensured safety measures). In short it’s the best destination for you, if you are searching a perfect place for Picnic in the season of monsoon. The temple can be a nice centre of peace for the religious people, and there’s a wishing well too. It is believed that if the coin you throw in it touches the large stone in it, your wish will be fulfilled.
How to Reach: After Crossing Ambamata circle there is a straight road to Rampura circle (commonly known as the Rampura choraha ), then follow a straight path. After crossing a remote area you will find out your destination. The guidelines on the road will help you more.
The route to Nandeshwar ji from Rampura circle is decked with greenery, single lane road and some lovely farm houses. What a visual treat! That being said, the route was full of overloaded buses and jeeps, which could give you shivers.
A humble request from UdaipurBlog: do ensure your safety, and follow the boards and warnings at the picnic spots.
Mother’s milk is the first gift by a mother to her newborn. It is the healthiest form of milk for the baby which contains the right amount of fats, sugar, water, minerals and proteins that ensures his complete physical and mental growth. Mother confers immunity to her baby through this milk which protects him from respiratory infections and diarrhoeal diseases. Breastfeeding the child reduces the risk of blood loss after delivery, breast and ovarian cancer, gaining excess weight and iron deficiency.

After that solid foods and nutritional supplement can be started but breastfeeding must be continued up to 2 years of age or more.
To commemorate the world breastfeeding week, there were many programmes held throughout the week by many organizations.
The Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital held week long programmes for students, doctors and common masses from 1st to 7th of August. Students actively participated in the various activities and doctors gave their best to promote breastfeeding among general public of Udaipur.
Various activities such as poster making, rangoli, quiz competitions, etc were held for students of Medical, Nursing, Physiotherapy Colleges, Talk shows/camps were held in various institutions like Military School, M.G. College, and Guru Nanak by the doctors of Community Medicine Department to educate young girls about the benefits of breastfeeding the newborn.

This Friendship day, 7th August 2011, Ashoka Cinema and Picture Palace Cinema organised a free special show of the movie Singham (starring Ajay Devgn and Prakash Raj, directed by Rohit Shetty) for the entire Police Force of Udaipur. The show started at about 10:15 a.m. and the management got a whopping response from the entire department, with around 700 officers and other members of the Police coming to see the movie at Picture Palace.
Singham – The film is set in a small village in Maharashta, where corruption is rife and crooked politicians call the shots. Ajay Devgn’s character Bajirao Singham is an honest police officer who has the single minded mission to eradicate all the corruption by any means possible. He is inspiring and defines the role of a Police officer. He exemplifies honesty and the will to drive a positive change. These are the traits we all wish to see in our Police.
It is a belief that today Cinema is the most influential form of entertainment. Films are creating an unprecedented impact on our generation and socially-responsible-movies like Singham are taking lead. On the Friendships Day, and a few days before Independence Day, the initiative to bring the entire Police force together under one roof, reminding them that they are the friends of the society and it is their utmost responsibility to maintain our freedom, is absolutely a great thinking and implementation by the management.
“Ashoka Cinema & Picture Palace Cinema have been providing quality entertainment to the City of Udaipur since 1945 and shall continue to do so for times to come. We always hope that inspiring movies, motivational movies, and movies with a message continue to release at our cinemas and entertain the people. We express are happiness and pride that Udaipur’s Police have been always around in times of trouble and have kept this city safe and peaceful. We express our gratitude towards them on this Friendship Day for being with us always. We also thank the department for allowing us to have this screening as our humble contribution towards betterment of our society.” said Mr. Mukund Sanghi, on behalf of Ashoka Cinema & Picture Palace Cinema.
