सप्त्श्रींगी देवी, नाशिक-त्रैम्बकेश्वर , की यात्रा

By Uday Baxi

जैसे ही मैं अंतिम सीढ़ी से उतरा, मेरे ध्यान स्थानीय लोगों की एक टोली पर गया, जो निचली सीढ़ी पर अजीबो-गरीब हरकतें कर रहे थे. मेरी पत्नी तो आगे बढ़ गयीं, पर मैं अपनी जिज्ञासा शांत करने हेतु उस टोली की ताराग चला गया. वहां एक स्त्री, जिसके बाल बिखरे हुए थे, बड़े जोरों से चिल्ला रही थी. वह हांफ भी रही थी और बड़ी बेचैन लग रही थी. वहीँ खड़े लोगों ने मुझे बताया कि उस स्त्री पर देवी आ गयीं हैं और वह तब-तक ठीक नहीं होगी, जब तक इस मंदिर के सामने उसकी पूजा न की जाये. उसके घरवाले भी वहीँ मौजूद थे. कोई ओझा उसकी तथाकथित पूजा कर रहा था. इस पूजा की पूजन सामग्री कोई भिन्न नहीं थी. वही अगरबत्ती, नारियल, फूल, मिठाई इत्यादि. पर एक बकरा भी वहीँ खड़ा था,

Himachal – Shimla, Sarahan, Sangla Valley

By Roopesh

Sangla is also famous for Kamru Fort. This fort is like a tower dedicated to Kamakshi Temple. The Goddess idol was brought from Guwahati (Assam). We braced ourselves and took to steep climb of stairs. The climb took us through houses of Kamru village and get a peek into their life. First there is a temple which has couple of shrines in the small courtyard in hill architecture. Their sloping roofs are lined with flat chipped stones tiles and the distinctive cone as the top. The main Kamru fort was still some climb away. Thankfully, it was quite sunny and pleasant for the climb. After some time, the Kamru fort came into view perched right at the top of the village. One has to tie a cloth around waist and wear a cap which is available in the fort to enter the precincts and go around.

हाजी अली दरगाह का बाज़ार , मुम्बई

By Uday Baxi

“बालू-शाही”, “गुड़पारा” तथा “बूंदी के लड्डू” भी दिखे. इनमें गुड़पारा ही विशेष था. बालूशाही और बूंदी के लड्डू तो अब तक जाने कितनी बार और कितने जगहों पर खा चुका था कि अब वहां चखने में तो कोई दिलचस्पी थी नहीं. दिमाग तो तब भी शकरपारा में ही दौड़ रहा था. आखिर इतना शक्कर और गुड़ इस प्रदेश में आता कहाँ से है? याद करने की कोशिश की तो याद आया शिर्डी से शनि सिग्नापुर का वो रास्ता, जिसके दोनों तरफ ईख के बड़े बड़े खेत देखे थे. गाँव वालों ने सडकों के दोनों तरफ ईख-के-रस की दुकानें लगायीं थीं. हर दुकान का नाम चाहे कुछ भी हो, पर टाइटल एक ही था..”रसवंती”.

A beautiful short trip to Andaman…

By Ankit Saxena

Around 07:00 in the evening we reached Port Blair and decided to spend some time on “Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex”. For dinner we found another famous restaurant in Aberdeen Market named “Annapurna”. Annapurna is a pure veg restaurant with wide varieties of North Indian n South Indian dishes. The quality of the food was also very good and the prices were also reasonable. We were so impressed by the food that we decided to make this our permanent stop for Breakfast and Dinner.

Visting Mirik, West Bengal

By Debjit Chakraborty

almost fully broken road with a 20/25 degree continuous elevation, occasionally screeching of clutch and tyre enabled me to stop and offload heads. It succeeded for a while but finally around 6/7 kms before Rishi Road junction the vehicle was impossible to move up. The burning rubber smell and the sound of throwing pebble underneath by wheel”s thrust made me stop completely

Rewalsar Lake – त्रिवेणी of Love, Beauty & Dharma

By SilentSoul

This Gurudwara was built by Raja Joginder Sen of Mandi in respect of Guru GobindSinghji. Guru Gobind Singh came to Himachal to seek support from the hill kings, for his fight against the muslim invaders. He chose Rewalsar as his camp site and had his meeting with hill kings and chalked out plans for a joint strategy against the invading armies of muslims. Guru Gobind Singh ji was so impressed by the holy vibrations of this place that he stayed here for more than a month and later Raja of Mandi built this Gurudwara in his memory.

To Chakrata, with my family and two dogs

We , walked uphill and reached a lonely, newly built cottage which was uninhabited at that moment. We sat on the porch of the cottage and watched the color of the sky slowly changing as the sun started descending. The valley down below looked so beautiful. Smoke was coming out of the chimneys of some mud huts. The villagers have lit up the chulhas

Wanderings in South Goa.

By Vijay Shivdasani

You are really spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants in Goa. Besides the beach shacks, where you can sit on the sands and gaze out at the sea, sipping on a drink, while waiting an hour or two for your meal to arrive, there are many restaurants inland which also serve excellent food at very reasonable rates. There is a fusion of East and West, Portugese and Indian, meat and vegetables, which makes Goan cuisine unique. Coconut is used liberally, along with other Indian spices in the cooking. ‘Fish curry rice’ is the most common food and available virtually in every restaurant. The different types of seafood on offer in Goa includes pomfret, kingfish, ladyfish, mackerel, tuna, shark, crab, prawn, lobster, squid and mussels. Chicken, pork, mutton and beef dishes are also on offer at all the restaurants, cooked in the popular Goan flavours such as vindaloo, balchao, recheado, xhacuti and caldin.
We had already planned that we would include at least one meal out at a shack or restaurant in our daily sight-seeing itinerary. One precaution we always took was to carry our own drinking water if we did not want to order a drink, or pay for a bottle of branded mineral water.
