Durga Puja – The biggest festival in our life – Part – II

By Amitava Chatterjee

Durga Puja is also known as Sarodautsav. It’s also time to buy and read Sarodia Magazines. All the major publication houses in Kolkata publish a special magazine before Durga Puja, which contains novels, stories, fictions, travelogues from all the famous writers. These magazines are also being used as a launchpad for the new writers. Magazines hit the stand before Mahalaya and find a home almost immediately.

Mystical monsoon visit to Nahan, Paonta Sahib and Dakpatthar – Part II

By Bidisha

There was a stretch of over 5 kms with heavy traffic jam for a brief half an hour well into the middle of our journey just before we reached Roorkee. We had no inkling as to what cause the whole furore. But then 1 hour of slow snail-pace driving and we came to the action point. And almost all of a sudden, we realized we were driving into what seemed like a muddy pond. A lot of on-lookers were standing in higher and safer grounds on both sides of the road. And they were hooked on to the passing vehicles enjoying the drivers’ and passengers’ consternation in the hope of experiencing the cruel enjoyment of seeing a water-logged stranded car with helpless passengers inside. At least 50 odd two-wheelers were seen tugging along their vehicles wading through waist-deep mud and slosh with little children in festive clothes sloshing and pushing the two wheelers from the back, yelling and cheering each other.

Ghumakkar Featured Author Interview – Presenting Romantic Ritesh Gupta

By Nandan Jha

घुमक्कड़ – आप घुमक्कड़ी का शौक कब से रखते हैं? यह बचपन से लगी हुई लत है या फिर आपने बड़े होने पर आपने इसे अपनाया है?
रीतेश – वैसे तो बचपन से ही मैं अपने परिजनों के साथ पता नहीं कहाँ-कहाँ गया पर अपने होश में (उस समय भी काफी छोटा था) सर्वप्रथम मैं अपने माता पिताजी और उनके मित्रों के साथ वैष्णो देवी और उसके बाद हरिद्वार गया था । इस यात्रा से मैं बहुत प्रभावित हुआ और घूमने के भूत मेरे सर पर चढ़ गया, पर छोटा होने के कारण माता पिता के बिना नहीं जा सकता था । फिर इस यात्रा काफी साल बाद सन 1995 में अपने आठ मित्रों के साथ स्वछन्द रूप से मैं वैष्णो देवी और पत्नीटॉप अपने परिजनों के बिना गया । उसके बाद मैं अक्सर अपने मित्रों के साथ नई-नई जगह सोचकर जाने लगा । अब तक मैं देश की काफी नामी-गिरामी स्थल घूम चुका हूँ और आशा हैं की आगे भी घूमता रहूगा । आजकल यदि साथ में घूमने वाले मित्र जाए तो बहुत हैं अन्यथा मैं अपने परिवार के साथ ही घूमने जाता हूँ । वैसे नंदन जी ! घूमना यह कोई लत नहीं बल्कि मेरा शौक हैं, मैं अपना समय के अनुसार और पूर्ण सहूलियत से घूमता हूँ ।

घुमक्कड़ – माफ़ कीजियेगा रीतेश जी, पर हर शक्स अपनी हर लत के बारे में ऐसा ही कहता है | हे हे |
रीतेश – हे हे

Teerthraj Pushkar – The Pilgrims Paradise: Pushkar Sarovar

By Mukesh Bhalse

Shivam is very much fond of bathing in River and sea so he started taking off his cloths and I was also excited to take a holy dip as soon as possible, so without wasting time we both put our first step in the pond, since it was hot that time so we felt this bath pleasant.

By Amitava Chatterjee

It was closed to 800 km. I was able to save some money as staying was almost free at all the places and didn’t cost much. I also had to survive the entire month till next month’s salary.

Though the trip started with a negative mindset, at the end of it I carry home many many positives, which will always help me. I will always cherish those sweet memories throughout my life.

गढ़वाल घुमक्कडी: रुद्रप्रयाग – कार्तिक स्वामी – कर्णप्रयाग

By Vipin

उपर के नज़ारों ने शरीर को तरो ताज़ा कर दिया था, इसलिए उतरते वक्त ज़्यादा समय नही लगा और उतरते ही पैदल यात्रा आरंभ. कुछ एक किलोमीटर ही चले थे कि दोस्तों को थकान लगने लगी, सोचा चलो जो साधन मिल जाए आगे तक उसी मे चल पड़ेंगे. अब चलते चलते हर एक आगे जाने वाली गाड़ी को हाथ दिखाकर रोकने की कोशिश करते रहे, पर सब बेकार. किस्मत से थोड़ी देर बाद एक ट्रक आता हुआ दिखाई दिया, आधे मन से इसे हाथ दिखाया और ये क्या! ट्रक तो थोड़ा आगे जाकर रुक ही गया था.

Musical trip to Mahakal Nagri via Mecca Madina – 1

By Abhee K

So we entered in General coach. The train was full at 0715 hrs. First section was full of daily goers, some were reading news paper, few were sleeping and few were talking. There were few students also who were studying. The second section was full of ladies. I requested one of the ladies if she can shift and adjust us in one seat. They have shifted. So we got approximately 1.25 seat to accommodate 2.5 of us (me , my husband and my kid). Then I just turn around and was taking a glimpse of a train. It looked like as If I have rewinded my life and I had reached 10 years back when you are actually comfortable travelling in General coach. All beautiful ladies with beautiful bangles , nicely cladded saree or salwar suits , beautiful payal , toe rings etc etc. All were looking so beautiful and I was feeling jealous as my two gold bangles was nothing in front of colorful bangles. Being at Chennai Gold always means a lot here. But at Indore I was attracted towards those beautiful colorful glass bangles. Suddenly, I heard a song.

गढ़वाल घुमक्कडी: दिल्ली – रुद्रप्रयाग – कोटेश्वर महादेव

By Vipin

खैर यहाँ लगभग 2 घंटे मस्ती करने के बाद, 5 बज चुके थे इसलिए अन्य मंदिरों के जल्दी से दर्शन करके चढाई शुरू कर दी वापसी के लिए. यहाँ से हमारा अगला पड़ाव होना था, उमरा नारायण मंदिर जो की यहाँ से लगभग 4 किमी आगे था. मंदिर तक पहुँचते पहुँचते अंधेरा सा होने लगा था, इसलिए सोचा की रात यहीं बिताई जाए. यह मंदिर यहाँ से कुछ दूर बसे सन्न नामक गाँव के ईष्ट देवता उमरा नारायण को समर्पित है.

Durga Puja – The biggest festival in our life – Part – I

By Amitava Chatterjee

I think it expressed everything about how we feel about Durga Puja, the biggest festival in our life. There is a saying in Bengali that “Bangalir baro mashe (in 12 months) tero (thirteen) parbon (festival)”, which literally means that there are thirteen festivals in 12 months in a Bengali calendar.

Romancing the Train – Pune to Nasik

By Nirdesh Singh

My favourite travel author Paul Theroux says in the opening paragraph of ‘The Great Railway Bazaar’ – the best travel book ever written – “I have seldom heard a train go by and not wished I was on it”. One simple sentence summarizes the entire romance and mysticism around the trains. It conjures up the sights and sounds of unknown exotic destinations. It is as if you don’t care where the train goes; you only want to be someplace that is far and not seen before. Someplace where people look different, language you can’t understand but sounds musical; and food is an adventure everytime.

Meanwhile, the train chugs along several stations. It is the perfect weather to buy chikki in Lonavala and feast on hot vada paos. The taste brings back memories from the past. It seems as if the chikki and vada tastes have been standardized like McDonalds. You remember the taste from times long gone when you took the Madgaon Express from CST to Goa every month on the Konkan Railway Line.

यात्रा सालासर हनुमान जी

By Kamlansh Rastogi

बीदासर से लौटते समय हम छापर गाँव उतर गये . मैने पूछा कितना चलना पड़ेगा, बोले करीब 2-3 किलोमीटर सड़क से अंदर की तरफ है. मै मन ही मन सोंच रहा था कि खेतो के बीच से , मिट्टी की पगडंडी से होते इनके यहाँ पहुचना होगा. पर करीब एक- दो किलोमीटर चलने के बाद भी खेत नजर नही आये. काफी बड़ी पक्की सड़क थी और सड़क के दोनो तरफ पक्के सीमेंट के अच्छे – अच्छे मकान बने हुए थे. मैने फिर पूछा अभी कितनी दूर तुम्हारा गॉँव है , वह बोले यह गाँव ही तो चल रहा है. मैने आश्चर्यचकित होकर कहा अगर यह गाँव है तो शहर कैसा होता है,
