Delhi Heights - Rabbi is back..

Rabbi Shergil - the one with earthy voice, the one who made sufi popular.., Rabbi - the Bulla ki jaana main kaun..? guy , He who sang 'Tere bin, sanu sonya.. koi hor naio labhna' is back. Yes, Rabbi is back with 'Delhi heights' & though I had truly believed that 'Bulla' can't be repeated, he's proved me somewhat wrong with three wonderful songs Dilli, Kitni der tak & kabhi aana na..

Hair-cut @the bonnyz

Hair cuts to my niece.. an extension of my creative instinct.. & 'cus i'm the only person she can stand quitely in front n get her hair cut..

Well.. yeah, i'v given my li'l niece a hair cut for quite many times now & she stands oh so quitely n gets her hair cut so peacefully from myself that my sister waits for a travel back home for her daughter's hair cut! LOL.. I think me being a creative soul helps the cause too.. & my clientele' is growing.. wit my younger sis joining in!! happy me!!

Hmmm coming down to how I cultivated this interest or how I got initiated into it.. I think India's untrained & Untalented manpower in this skill-field has a lot to do about me. Every time I go for a hair-cut.. its a torture, those guys simply don't know how to cut hair.. n they never change. I guess they are not exposed to suave hairstyles & hollywood stuff.. neither they have any sort of inherent art in 'em n thats why they cut hair.. very un-imaginatively n are shocked to see cropped hair & are never sure how to cut a mop! All this has lead me to believe that someone like me, who's eternally been interested in style & is inherently creative.. cutting hair should come easy to me..

& here's proof of da same, some picz of my pricess .. before n after da haircut:

Li'l Introspection.. & trying to make some b'ful memories..

Time for some introspection.. & it always comes after I had have a talk with my best buddy Amit! So after a long talk on saturday.. when we dug into almost everything that's important for two of us.. here I am trying to make a good copy out of that conversation.

This year & the coming year.. lets say next 6 to 24 months are gonna be very important & crucial for our lives (Amit are you reading this?? ehh??). We know we will be taking some big decisions during this period, most probably going our own ways.. & also its pressure time, confusing time.. time of bit of turmoil & since we are both similar kinda people no hesitation in admitting that.. its not gonna be a cake walk. You have to go through it all.. if you wanna live your life your own way.. follow your principles & stick to them even when things go against you.

Whatever.., keeping in mind that we may not get too many chances to meet & make trips that we always wanted to.. We decided that during the next six months or so.. we are gonna make some memorable trips.. & click some memories!!

One of the things we are gonna do is.. go on & see every place worth seeing in delhi & we will most probably hire a delhi tourism bus or something, that wud be kewl.. cus feeling like a tourist is always exciting! The second thing that we gotta do is visit some places never seen before.. those historical things which I love clicking picz of & click some memorable pics...
And finally we will move out for an outstation trip or two maybe... One should be Jaipur - Jaisalmer.. somewhere in that direction, And another one (if possible..) to some hill station.. Shimla or mussouri or maybe dharamshala...

I am looking forward to the coming months for some great memories.. which i'm sure i'll cherish for long!!

Bharatpur (Balaji) Trip..

http://www.rajasthan.gov.in/Bharatpur.SHTM
Last weekend, we happened to visit a religious place 'Balaji' near(??) Bharatpur... infact 'bout 80 kms from there.. The location wus quite a confusion.., it wus supposed to be near Bharatpur but once we reached Bharatpur we had to travel 80 kms back & deep. It seemed like it was right on the back side of Sohna, or at most 50-60 kms from there if there was a straight road from there, but roads are just like life.. they are anything but straight.

From the preface, you can already guess that i'm more interested in the geography of the place than its religious relevance.. Well frankly I'm a believer, but I don't really believe in being part of stampedes & getting crushed to visit holy places. I am in love with God & his creativity.. the things that he has created never stop to amaze me, & above all the human life..

Something about the place 'Balaji'.. 'Balaji' is what people call younger Lord Hanuman, thats what I heard my dad tell me & since as a Kid I was always fascinated with Lord Hanuman I was pretty much interested in the trip.

Coming back to the Balaji, I just discovered via internet search, something very intriguing about balaji:

"One of the most interesting and popular centers of tantrik rites is at Balaji, near Bharatpur off the Jaipur-Agra highway. Exorcism is a way of life at Balaji, and people from far and near, who have been "possessed by spirits" flock to Balaji in large numbers."

Though.. thats not what we went for!!!! it was my dad's love for seeing an ancient lord hanuman temple that took us there.

Though, I wanted to make it more worthwhile & enriching by making a visit to Bharatpur wildlife sanctuary, Mathura, Vrindavan, Govardhan or even Agra... but Alas! my dad hardly likes my tiring ideas. So, we finally had to be content with a visit to the mathura (the disputed janambhoomi/Mosque site) & it was not much enjoyable either. The kind of security they had & the way they were frisking people one hardly felt like it was a visit to a temple or a sacred place.

Well.. infact it was another one of those moments when I felt that this world is truly becoming a mad-place. People do things they don't know why they wanna do? & after being die-hard materialistic souls.. they try to find spirituality by visiting places like these!! hmmmm let me not get into this.. i'll dig into it some other time..
