6 Comments on Hey! Happy Friendship Day Guys…

Today morning I woke up from the bed, and found about 20-30 unread messages in my inbox. So what’s so special about the day? I guess nothing much special, as if it would have been any special day, there would be no messages at all due to telecom companies charging more money per message. Still I opened my inbox, checked the messages, and recalled, “Damn! This is the first Sunday of August. How did I forget?”

So what’s there too special about the first Sunday? Yes of course it’s the friendship day. Time to greet friends, plan great stuffs, parties, hangouts, gifting them, friendship bands, movies, and all the celebration. So this is not only a story of mine, but probably all of yours. So what are you doing today? What can be the possible plans?

Okay starting with a day plan with a good movie with friends, a good party can be thrown in the evening at any good location, or even at residence. Or we can also have the option to join few friendship day parties being organized for the public. All you need is to just get the passes and take your masti gang to the venue.

The other plan can be to have a day out plan till late evening to any cool location, badi, nandeshwar ji, thoor ki paal, and many more, and having the spirit of an udaipie, as a regular custom, end the hangout ceremony with a kulfi or bread pakoda at fateh sagar. A coffee at Vinod Ji Fatehsagar can also be a good option indeed. And surprisingly, if you find any rock show being performed at the Fatehsagar paal, don’t be confused, they too are friends amongst us, taking initiative to befriend the nature.

Or the day could also be spent by having a burger at McDonald’s, and window shopping, or some serious shopping for the day.

So I have recited ample of plans for the rocking day. All you can do is pick up a good one which suits you out of these, or create some new idea to celebrate the day. If you have a better one, do share it here. So take your time to plan out, meanwhile I would like to leave, as I have to wish and apologies everyone for forgetting the day, and plan out something cool too.

And yeah ofcourse, I on behalf of UdaipurBlog.com Team would also like to extend my heartiest greetings on this occasion of the wonderful day.

1 Comment on The Sacred month of Ramadan arrives [Download TimeTable]

UdaipurBlog would like to wish everybody a happy Ramadan Mubarak! Ramadan alternatively called as Ramzan is expecting to start from 2^nd Aug 2011. The Coordination Committee of Anjuman Mosques, Udaipur will have announced that Monday 1st August 2011 or Tuesday 2nd Aug 2011 will be the 1st of Ramadan. Dates will be confirmed on the sighting of the new moon. According to the lunar calendar of Islam, Ramadan is the ninth month. Muslims consider this whole month as a blessed and a sacred month. They fast during the days of this month and make special prayers at night.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic year. It is the holy month of fasting. Ramadan is the month the Qur’an was revealed with clear guidance and differentiation (between good and bad.) Whoever of you is a witness of this month, should fast.

During Ramadan, all Muslims will go without all the pleasures of the body throughout the hours of the day. Sawm is the intentional control of the body by an act of will. During that month Muslims renew and re-establish their commitments to Allah. They read the Qur’an, and perform the night prayer. During Ramadan, Muslims avoid many evil deeds that would invalidate their fasts and act of worship.

9 Comments on Hariyali Amavasya: A Photostory of the Tradition and Celebration

Hey friends. First and foremost I would like to extend my warm greetings on the occasion of our tradition and cultural day: Hariyali Amavasya.

As you all might know this year it is being celebrated the 30^th and 31^st of July, where the 31^st will be restricted for the women only. This year saw a great crowd and joy in the fair, as well as the drizzle added to the energy and worked as a stressbuster, and kept the name Hariyali worth its sake. The crowd was huge, the excitement unmatched, all stalls were ready and loaded either with eatables, toys, fancy items, women’s items, etc. People were here with the traditional pupadis or the instrument horning them all the way, and not to forget, the day’s special Malpuas.

For those who were present at the event, and want to feel the same fun again, and also, who unfortunately missed the fair, here I bring you a photostory with some of my best clicks, for the first day at the Hariyali Amavasya fair. Let the pictures speak for themselves.:)

also, do checkout a video of the same

The Royal Prince is now at a distance of a ‘LIKE’

1 Comment on The Royal Prince is now at a distance of a ‘LIKE’

The Mewar Royal Family and The Eternal Mewar dynasty need no introduction, not only to us but to the entire world.

The Royal Family has always been lending a helpful hand to our city whenever needed, via many of its charitable trusts, and social works. The HRH group of hotels also, does not need any introduction; it is famous both among the masses and the classes. In the same chain, to increase the public interaction directly with the royal family, the prince of the Eternal Mewar dynasty, His Highness Mr. Lakshyaraj Singh Ji Mewar has taken another social hi-tech step, and that step is interaction via Facebook.

The most charming and adorable prince is now on Facebook via his official public profile page which already has more than 1900 members. Here he interacts with the public, shares his views about the city, and his thoughts of wisdom with everyone. This is first of its kind phenomenon of social interaction as there has been no such attempt by any royal family in India. He tries his best to respond to each and every comment or post.

On asking his highness The Prince of Mewar about his idea for taking such an innovative step, He says, “It has not been as a very long time since I am back home to my motherland. I have been missing my family, friends, the city and its vibrant colorful life. Coming back home feels like being at ease, and being among my own people. A sense of belonging exists. Being back home and connecting with citizen, I feel great pleasure with the love and friendly response I receive from them.”

He hopes to hear more from people and share more so that together we could create a better tomorrow by creating a better today for our City.
