Laali In the suburbs of Udaipur, at the foot of Aravali mountain range, on banks of river Gomati, there was small well-planned mines colony – Zawar . In the center of the town, there is a long-cemented bridge connecting the New Market to Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) hospital. The largest one in the vicinity of Zawar to Udaipur. The straight road had the company guest house in the middle which ended at Naka Bazaar – the end of the town. Up straight on the road from the guest house lead to the officer’s colony on the top of a small hill which was almost cut off from rest of the town with few officer’s families residing in an array. Here everyone knew everyone from end to end. All the kids went to school together and played cricket or 7 stones in the evening. Mummies made papad (dried crisps), achar (pickle), sweaters, quilts together depending on the season in continuum. Dads worked in same places and played badminton together in the guest house on most of the evenings. There w...
# Pencil sketch by Maa : Dad and Me She wrote to Dad : My Dearest, Good Morning! Today 20.5.21, Saranya's Birthday. Recall the days when we used to celebrate our children's birthdays. Those were the golden days, never going to revert. Only thing we could do is wish and give some gifts. Always a father's girl sticking to you till your last breathe. As in the image, I still remember, I bought you a 'T' shirt which suited you very much. Even the colour was the same for sure. Saranya had a very long hair when she was a little girl. I always plaited them and never did cut. Now couldn't bear to see her thin hair. For me, this particular sketch reminds me of Zawar quarters on the uphill roads. All has disappeared today as you. Undoubtedly, you are always with us. Some day she will live a life that we both dreamt dear. Yours, Durgakulo.
Sohana, Gurgaon, Haryana, India Sohna - Wikipedia It hardly takes 2 hours to reach Sohna from New Delhi on car. # Google map from New Delhi to Sohna In the month of December, from Gurgaon to Sohna, there are umpteen mustard fields on the way. For someone who hasn’t seen the mustard fields before, it reminds the scene from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Perfect for snaps. The yellow is awesome. # Mustard Fields on the way to Sohna No doubt why in winters people often have Sarson da Saag and Makki di roti. It really blends so well to satisfy your taste buds. # Sarson da Saag (Mustard leaf curry) & Makki di roti ( Corn Bread) There are many resorts on the way. One can look for a variety of fun activities. We chose paragliding. What we did miss was to check the wind. If its way too breezy, the glider can neither stay for long in the air nor does it fly at a higher altitude. I was enthralled to see the small box...
