The year 2021 has been a year full of ups & downs. Well, for Udaipur we can say mostly up! Because with all the recognition & awards coming, we’ve bagged a bunch of new titles and are going to end this year on a happy note.

Condé Nast Reader Travel Awards 2021 list is out & Udaipur has made it to the significant top, worldwide. In the list, the awards were issued in 24 different categories including states, cities, palaces, hotels, airports, airlines and more. And apparently, the cities of Rajasthan made it to the winner or runner up in 8 different categories in which Udaipur, Jaipur & Jodhpur made their places in the top.

Some good news for Rajasthan!

According to Condé Nast Traveler Magazine India, Rajasthan is considered to be the most favorite state in the country for road trips and that is even more than Himachal Pradesh. Now wait, there’s more for our state. Again, according to the magazine, Rajasthan has been considered as the second most favorite state of the country for holiday destinations. Bombs of merriment, all over the place!

Categories where Udaipur, Jaipur & Jodhpur did wonders

Favorite Hotel for Weddings in India: Hotel Leela Palace, Udaipur bagged the place of number one in this category. On the other hand, Rambagh Palace, Jaipur was placed second in line. In this category, both the hotels in the top-2 are from Rajasthan and Rajasthan is already people’s favorite place for Royal and Destination Wedding. Literally, who missed the wedding of the year, #vikat wedding.

Favorite Indian Leisure Hotel: Being on the bank of lakes of Udaipur, the Leela Palace is on the second rank in this category. Tourists from all over the country have considered the Leela Palace as the favorite hotel for a leisure holiday.

Favorite Spa in Indian Hotel: The Leela Palace in Udaipur has been considered as the best spa hotel in the country. And now you know your new spa destination.

Favorite Home Stay in India: Premkunj of Udaipur has been voted as the second-best homestay in the country. Situated amidst the striking and calm Aravalis, the place offers a majestic view and long-lost solace with perks like bird watching.

Favorite Indian Heritage Hotel: Umaid Bhawan Palace Hotel in Jodhpur has been voted as the most preferred heritage hotel in the country. Who would not vote for this; remember the famous & extravagant Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas’s grand wedding?

What better way to end the year than on such good notes, right? We’re not greedy but where’s the harm to letting more awards come our way!

कटाक्ष : #missingschooldays जैसे हैशटैग डालने वालो को अब स्कूल की याद नहीं सताएगी।

dress code for college in rajasthan

बारहवी की परीक्षा चल रही है। परीक्षा ख़त्म होते ही कॉलेज की दौड़-भाग शुरू हो जाएगी। कुछ लड़के-लड़कियां अभी से ही स्कूल को मिस करने लग गए है, लेकिन कुछ ऐसे भी है जो परीक्षा समाप्ति पर मिस करना शुरू करेंगे, उन्हें जैसे ही ये कॉन्फिडेंस आ जायेगा कि ‘हाँ… बेड़ा पार हो जायेगा’ और मिस करना शुरू कर देंगे।

लेकिन अब स्कूल की याद नहीं सताएगी। अगर याद नहीं सताएगी तो बहुत मुमकिन है कि सोशल मीडिया पर #missingschooldays, #alreadymissingschooldays जैसी आपदाएं भी नहीं नज़र आएगी। हमारी सरकार ने हमेशा हमारे दुःख-दर्द को सुना है और उसे कम करने की कोशिश की है। इस बार भी हमारी यह हैशटैग वाली पुकार सुन ली गयी है और ऐसा तोहफ़ा दिया है कि सुन लोगे तो खुशी से नाच उठोगे।

अब कॉलेज में भी स्कूलों की तरह ड्रेसकोड रहेगा। लड़कियां सलवार-कमीज़-दुप्पटा पहनी नज़र आएँगी तो लड़के पैंट-शर्ट-बेल्ट-टाई पहने नज़र आएँगे। राजस्थान के सभी गवर्मेंट कॉलेज के लिए यह आदेश लागू हो सकता है। अब तक तो शायद आपने नाचना भी शुरू कर दिया होगा।

आइये हम साथ में मिलकर इसके फायदे-नुकसान की बात करते है :

इसके क्या फायदे है –

  1. रोज-रोज के नए कपड़े पहनने की झंझट से निजात मिलेगी।
  2. “उसने तो वैसा पहना है, मैंने तो ऐसा पहना है” जैसा राष्ट्रिय मुद्दा ख़त्म हो जाएगा। 
  3. सप्ताह की दो ड्रेस गन्दी होगी। धोने-धुलवाने की माथापच्ची नहीं रहेगी।
  4. स्कूल की याद नहीं सताएगी।
  5. सरकार ने इतना कर ही दिया है, फिर भी स्कूल की याद आती है तो मेरी एक सलाह मान लीजिए। गले में प्लास्टिक की लटकने वाली बोतल और शर्ट की ऊपर वाली जेब पर पिन से रुमाल बांध देना। मैं गारंटी देता हूँ कॉलेज पूरी तरह से स्कूल लगने लगेगा। 

इसके क्या नुकसान है –

  1. अलमारी में पड़ी नयी ड्रेस वही पड़ी रह जाएगी। ड्रेस बिना पहने छोटी और टाइट हो जाने के आसार बढ़ जाएँगे।
  2. नए फैशन को फॉलो करने और दूसरों को दिखाने के लिए कोई प्लेटफॉर्म नहीं बचेगा।  
  3. शो-ऑफ करने वाले शो-ऑफ नहीं कर पाएँगे। उनकी सेहत पर विपरीत असर पड़ सकता है।
  4. हर क्लास के सलमान, शाहरुख़, कटरीना… भीड़ में खो से जाएँगे।
  5. जिसका बर्थडे होगा वो नयी ड्रेस पहनकर कॉलेज नहीं आ सकेगा। एक्लीयर्स/पारले जी की चॉकलेट बांटकर ही दुसरे छात्र-छात्राओं को दिखाना होगा कि आज उसका बर्थडे है।

 अब थोड़े सीरियस हो जाते है –

  1. हम सभी जानना चाहते है कि ड्रेस कोड कैसे हमारी पढाई में सुधार ला सकता है?
  2. हम सभी जानना चाहते है कि क्या ड्रेस कोड हमारा प्लेसमेंट करवाएगा?
  3. हम सभी जानना चाहते है कि ड्रेस कोड, अनुशासन कैसे ला सकता है?
  4. हम यह भी जानना चाहते है कि क्या ड्रेस कोड की वजह से हमारे कॉलेज के इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर में सुधार आ सकता है?
  5. हमें यह भी जानना है कि क्या ड्रेस कोड कॉलेज में खाली पड़ी लेक्चरार की सीटों को भर पाएगा? उनकी कमी की पूर्ति कर पाएगा?
  6. हम अंत में यह जानना चाहते है कि क्या ड्रेस कोड हमारे भारतीय एजुकेशन सिस्टम की कमियों में सुधार ला पाएगा?

धन्यवाद

Jodhpur’s 24 Gigapixel Image: Zoom into the tiniest detail of the Blue City!

After Udaipur’s Gigapixel image, Pranshu Dubey has come up with an amazing and yet another mesmerizing image of the Blue City Jodhpur. This gigapixel image of Jodhpur is so sharp that you can even see people walking around, windows, panels and every tiny detail. The blue city looks tremendous with Umaid Bhawan standing tall and secluded with its majesty in the background.

It is truly hypnotizing!

All About Jodhpur’s Gigapixel Image

A gigapixel image is a digital image made up of one billion pixels, which is 1000 times the information captured by a 1-megapixel digital camera!!!

Advanced digital photography technique is what you can call this. Jodhpur’s Gigapixel is made from 351 individual 50-megapixel images which sum up to a total resolution of 24,000 megapixels or 24 gigapixels. (Okay! This is huge!!)

Wondering which camera was used to capture these images? These 351 images were shot on Canon 5ds 50-megapixels. This method of making a gigantic picture/image lies in the beauty and finesse of stitching the images (here 351 images).These images are stitched together to form a brilliant image that can be zoomed in and out!

The prime motive of Pranshu behind making these beautifully epic gigapixel images is to promote tourism in the state of Rajasthan. He is photographer specialized in areas of Aerial Photography, Panoramas and interior/exterior photography for hospitality and infrastructure.

How Jodhpur’s gigapixel is different than the Udaipur one?

The brand new thing about this Gigapixel image of Jodhpur is that one can zoom anywhere in the picture to watch extreme details and also take a photo of that particular place and share it with their friends.
