अन्नू भाई चला चकराता …पम्म…पम्म…पम्म (भाग- 3 ) टाइगर फाल (TIGER FALL)

By GHOOMAKKAR PANKAJ

बिलकुल थोडा सा आगे जाते ही मन एक दम खुश हो गया होता भी क्यूँ नहीं …हम एक बेहद ही खुबसूरत सफ़ेद झरने का कुछ हिस्सा जो देख रहे थे। मन एक दम लालयित हो उठा चलो जल्दी …अरे पर जल्दी तो चले लेकिन चले कहाँ से सामने तो दोनों पहांड़ी नदिया मिल रही रास्ता कुछ दिख नहीं रहा था। एक बार लगता के इन्ही नदी में पड़े पत्थरों से होकर जाना होगा। लेकिन २ दिन पहले से बंद हुयी बारिश अब तक हमें इसी और खड़े रहने का इशारा कर रही थी।

Boomro Boomro, Shyam Rang Boomro… (Meri Kashmir Yatra – Part 3)

By Rakesh

The scene was just marvelous and my thought was …. YE KAHAN AA GAYE HUM….. We see pictures of the lake in the news papers or sometimes in television but can not gauge the extent of this lake from those visuals, this is what I think as the mighty DAL which was in front of me had rows and rows of houseboats parked in it . THE HOUSEBOATS WITH EXOTIC NAMES APPEARED TO BE LIFELINE OF THIS LAKE. (Char Chinar, Dreamland, Kashmiri beauty, Gulistan, Gul Gulshan Gulfam and numerous other names ….).

Chennai’s Art,Culture,food and Shopping

By Abhee K

This time on the first day of Remembering Rukmini Devi festival we watched drama based on Devi Meenakshi. The dance drama name was “Meenakshi Vijayam”. I was very well aware that photography was not allowed inside the auditorium, but I couldn’t resist myself and just for sharing picture of such a wonderful place I clicked one picture only for the sake of sharing at Ghumakkar.

COORGI DELIGHTS-GOLDEN TEMPLE AND NISARGADHAMA

By Venkat

The place has a guest house and treetop cottages run by the Forest Dept. I heard from the regular visitors to the place that tourists were allowed to enter into the river at certain safe and shallow points to enjoy themselves under the watch of the guards. But I found all those entry points locked and out-of-bounds for tourists. The guards at the place said that this was a precautionary step to avoid any mishaps because of flash floods which were possible sometimes in January. He also added that in March and April, there was no restrictions for tourists to enter the river. I wondered how much water will be there in the river then !

Ghumakkar Editorial Monthly Digest – March 2013

By Archana Ravichander

At Ghumakkar, what we have always loved is how welcoming our community is when we make changes on technical front or otherwise. Likewise, we are more enthusiastic when it comes to welcoming our new authors! I mean it when I say that this part – the introduction of new authors to our community, is my personal favorite! It gives me joy sufficient enough to keep me happy through out the month! Without much ado, let us get introduced to our newest members of the family.

हरिद्वार – अम्बाला – अमरनाथ यात्रा (भाग 8)

By Naresh Sehgal

इधर पिछ्ले कई सालों से मेरी पत्नी मेरे साथ अमरनाथ यात्रा पर जाने के लिये कह रही थी लेकिन बच्चे छोटे होने के कारण कभी जा नहीं पाई थी। बच्चे तो अभी भी छोटे ही थे और मेरी छोटी बिटिया उस समय सिर्फ़ चार साल की ही थी। मेरी पत्नी मुझे इस वर्ष अकेला जाते देख मेरे साथ चलने की जिद्द करने लगी, लेकिन मेरी पत्नी के मेरे साथ अमरनाथ यात्रा पर जाने में कुछ दिक्कतें थी। पहली, आज तक बच्चे कभी भी,कहीं भी मेरी पत्नी से अलग, अकेले नहीं रुके थे और दुसरी, हमारा उनके स्कूल खुलने से पहले लौटना भी जरुरी था। इसके अलावा एक दिक़्क़त मुझे थी्।

Chennai Temples Part 2

By Abhee K

This temple is a very old temple of 8th century. It is famous for its Pallavan Architecture. According to legend, the temple is located on the spot where Brahma, one of the Hindu trinities, installed a Shiva lingam. It is said that the creator or the Hindu Trinity Brahma , originally had five heads, one of which Lord Shiva cut off to arrest his pride. Following which Lord Brahma installed a Shiva lingam to do penance and that is where the temple stands today. This Shiva lingam is known as Kapaleeshwar and is the main nucleus of the temple.

Aadmi Musafir Hai (part 2)

By Rakesh

Remember the song “AADMI MUSAFIR HAI AATA HAI JAATA HAI” from movie Apnapan picturized on Sudhir Dalvi and that unknown girl in the bus en-route to Srinagar. The verses contain a philosophical message but in the language of common man which was forte of Anand Bakshi Sahib. As our vehicle moved towards Srinagar it seemed to me that a dream shall be chased in a few hours but the destination was quite far away.

गोबिंद घाट – श्रीनगर -ऋषिकेश : (भाग 7)

By Naresh Sehgal

गुरुद्वारा काफ़ी विशाल है और हेमकुन्ड आने-जाने वाले यात्रियों के लिये एक महत्त्वपूर्ण विश्राम स्थल है। गुरुद्वारे में बहुत से हेमकुन्ड यात्री थे, कुछ लोग दर्शन को जा रहे थे और कुछ लोग दर्शन करने के बाद वापिस लौट रहे थे। हमने भी वहाँ लंगर छका (खाया) और फिर चाय पी। लगभग तीन बज चुके थे और हम ऋषिकेश की ओर निकल दिये। रास्ते में एक बार रुद्रप्रयाग में चाय के लिये गाड़ी रुक्वाई और फिर से यात्रा जारी रखी।

घाघंरिया – हेमकुंड साहिब – गोबिंद घाट (भाग 6)

By Naresh Sehgal

हेमकुंड संस्कृत (“बर्फ़”) हेम और कुंड (“कटोरा”) से व्युत्पन्न नाम है । हेमकुंट साहिब गुरुद्वारा एक छोटे से स्टार के आकार का है तथा सिखों के अंतिम गुरू, गुरु गोबिंद सिंह जी, को समर्पित है। श्री हेमकुंट साहिब गुरूद्वारा के पास ही एक सरोवर है। इस पवित्र जगह को अमृतसरोवर (अमृत का तालाब) कहा जाता है। यह सरोवर लगभग 400 गज लंबा और 200 गज चौड़ा है। यह चारों तरफ़ से हिमालय की सात चोटियों से घिरा हुआ है। इन चोटियों का रंग वायुमंडलीय स्थितियों के अनुसार अपने आप बदल जाता है। कुछ समय वे बर्फ़ सी सफेद,कुछ समय सुनहरे रंग की, कभी लाल रंग की और कभी-कभी भूरे नीले रंग की दिखती हैं।
