Banaras....One Stop....!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: the below stated views and advices are purely mine. No one is to blamed for it if any disagreement occurs on any issue....hehehehehe.......

to hua yun ki aaj babut dino baaad "golgappe" khaye...sankat-mochan k paas waale...aaahaahaa.....muaaahhha........kya kehna janaaab.......so laga ki kyun na kuchh likha jaye about "One Stops" for various such chatpate and other stuffs (obv related to khaana-peena) in Banaras/Varanasi/Kashi.......last 2 years mein Banaras ko khoob jee bhar k jiya hai aur khoob mauj maare hain isi bahaane........came to know many new+great+amazing things/facts about this wonderful n b'ful place......" Kaashi Nagari"--------it simply rox----------------
to shuruaat karte hain subeh se.........ab subeh-subeh " garmaa-garam Chaay" mil jaye to aay haay kya kehna miya......

Chaay :
**Chowk pe agar chaay nahi pee to kya piya......ahaahaa....purve mein chaay aur saath mein parosi hui shaandaar Toast..makhhan maarke...check it out at 6 a.m. kisi bhidin...u'll luv it.....( Thanx to Arpan for taking me that wonderful place ).....
**Agar L.C ki chaay nahi pee hai to turant jaake pee lo...Special waali....it costs Rs. 3...u'll wish to have 2-3 cups more....do have the kachaudi and samose with it........well as per my view : LC ki especial chaay is "the best".............

Jalebi+Kachaudi :
ohoho....yummmy-yummmy.....bas utho aur lanka tirahe pahunch jaao.....ek chhoti si gumti types dukaan dikhegi jahan ek taraf "jalebiyan" tal rahi hongi..doosri taraf "kachaudiyaan"...aur teesri taraf ek pyaari si "gaali" ki bauchaar chal rahi hogi...maano log jalebi-kachadui se zyada pasand se wo(gaali) kahne aate hain.....aaye-haaye kya kehne banaras ke....and one thing is sure, u will love the jalebi-kachaudi.....do go there and have them if u haven't till now.....

Lassi:
Aaaaaah....garmi ka mausam ko aur agar "thandi-2" "malaai maarke" lassi mil jaaye to kya kehna janaab......muaaaah......walk down from Lanka towards Naria and in the mid-way u will find "Banaras Sweet House"....there comes a shop where u'll see a electromechanical structure (made up of somewhat a D.C. motor and mechanical stuffs) to prepare the Lassi.....hehehe.....do have a taste of it...........aaaaan...one more shop...apna "Pehelwaan Lassi Waala"....name speaks a lot in itself.....hihihih...hai na...!!!!.....well this "Lassi" is also very special kinda as u'll find few additional stuffs in it..." the Malaai and Rabdi"......muaaaah.....so Banaras mein ho aur Lassi nahi pee hai abhi tak to turant jaakar lassi pee lo ( English version : If u are in Varanasi and haven't
till yet tasted Lassi then immediately go and have it...its really tasty...u will love it..)....hehehe.......

Ab bahut meetha-2 ho gaya...kuchh chatpataa bhi ho jaaye.....hehe....will return to "meetha" again......haan....to ab......jab bhi CHATPATE khaan-paan ki baat ho rahi ho aur CHAAT-GOLGAPPE se pehle koi naaam zubaan pe aa jaye....hehehe....sochna bhi mat aisa...."paap chadhegaa"...hihihi.....:P:P.....
well before starting this...one very surprising fact.....many of my college friends(not of Varanasi) didn't hear of "Tamaatar Chaat" before coming to Varanasi....Amazing...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Golgappe aur Chaat:
......aahahaha.....jab sochkar hi itna achha lag raha hai to fir khane mein kitna mast lagta hoga.....hmmmmm.......socho-socho......hehehe....check it out at (1): Sankat-Mochan turn....the crowd over there is sufficient enough to speak of its popularity and the "Quality"........Do taste the "Tamaatar Chaat+ Chatpate Golgappe"....u will luv it.....but haan one thing to be kept in mind...do reach by time ( around 6:30-7:00) else sab "Jai Siyaa-Raam Ji Ki"....hehehe.....(2) Kashi Chaat Ghar at Gowdowlia.....a lot of varieties are over there and the especial one being again "Golgappe"....(Thanx to a small girl for me telling the most especial one of that particular place...:):)...)

left ponits are : ....thandai....mithaai...brownie...chaat(tikki chat,tamatar chat,papadi chat) and golgappe....bhelpoori-sevpoori....pizzaz...momoz...meetha paan....and many more to be explored in the coming years.....hehehehe....

ONCE AGAIN...............

aaaaan....Once again...its about our Government all and all...The present situation of FLOODS IN BIHAR ,a very pathetic and a sorrowful one, gives a clear picture what actually is the difference between "saying " and "doing"......Our government claims to be efficient and effective,which clearly doesn't befit the present scenario.
Reports say that " Authorities ,struggling to provide aid after the floods devastated the State, said they needed more boats and rescuers to help hundreds still marooned in remote villages"( Pg-1 "HOLDING ON TO DEAR LIFE" :THE HINDU,SEP-2 2008)....One thing which strikes under such circumstances is the tremendous amount of expenses made by government on various such stuffs which actually doesn't deserve so...be it " Political Advertisement","Defence", "Establishment Of new IITs+IIMs( a very debated topic at present)" etc......
Make reformations in the policies and cut down these expenses and use,rather utilize, them at much " need to be paid attention" issues/incidents/stuffs/happenings/conditions........................................

INIDIA AWAKENING at 62.......IS IT SO???......

15th August,2008........HAPPY INDEPENDENCE TO ALL...well it has been a long journey since 15th august,1947.........An Independent Country.....whether it be social,economic or political issue.....we are an independent country....a Democratic Country.....It seems (or rather is ) very easy for a person like me to sit in my room....confine myself to the world concerning me only..and go on commenting/abusing/making fun on almost all various activities/stuffs going around and keep shouting that "this is wrong and this is right"....
But the present social,economic & political turbulence in the country compels one to do so...after-all we are born in a Democratic Country....For the people..By the people..and Of the people.....rite!!!...The present turbulence depicting an entirely different picture of Independent India.......whether it be Government Formation at the Center....Nuclear Deal....Riots and Violence/Terrorism in different parts of the country.... Present Economic Condition....Inflation-Deflation....Hiked Oil prices...Exponentially Increasing Insecurity in almost all Spheres of life.....The rich getting richer day by day...and The Poor becoming Poorer day by day.....Mostly, the people around us are the ones with "I Me Mine Atti".."Identity Crisis".....whatsoever u call it......The list is an endless one and solutions for them also exist...as far as i being a common man thinks, is that, what the present situation demands is an Awakening Of Our Country as a whole and each and everyone realizing his/her worth and responsibilities....
A statement which very well befits this situation is the view "of becoming Technologically & Economically Strong" by our very beloved and respected Dr. A.P.J . Abdul Kalam. Consequently ,Economic and Technological Supremacy is equated with Political Power and World Control.

एक कारवां...एक सपना...

एक कारवां पुकारता है , एक मंजिल ताकती है...
सूनी राहों पर धुन्धंली सी रोशनी रास्ता दिखाती है...
एक आवाज़ मुझे मुझसे लड़ने की हिम्मत देती है...
एक सोच मुझे मेरे होने का एहसास दिलाती है...
एक हँसी मुझे मेरे होने का, मेरा वजूद, दर्शाती है...
एक कारवां पुकारता है, एक मंजिल ताकती है....



बावरा मनन चला देखने एक सपना...
जो,शायद हो या न हो मेरा अपना...
उस सपने में समाती दुनिया सारी...
किसी की मुस्कराहट,किसी का गम...
किसी की जीत,किसी की हार...
हर एक में छुपे हों जैसे हजारों राज़...
हर एक में समाई हों जैसे हजारों ख्वाहिशें...
बावरा मन चला देखने एक सपना...

मौसम...

एक मौसम था , कुछ बातें थीं...
ओस की बूंदों में भी दुआएं थीं ,
शामों की ढलने की भी अपनी अदाएं थीं ,
चाँदनी रातों में डूब जाने की तमन्नाएँ थीं,
एक मौसम था , कुछ बातें थीं ...

एक मौसम था, कुछ बातें थीं...
मन था निश्छल, थीं हजारों ख्वाहिशें,
मुस्कराहट में अपनी , थी दुनिया समाई,
अदाओं से किसी को रिझाना , थी अपनी पहचान,
एक मौसम था , कुछ हमारी थीं...

एक मौसम था, कुछ बातें थीं...
हवाओं से बातें करना भी ना था इतना मुश्किल,
करवटें लेतीं रातों में ना थीं इतनी चिंताएं,
बारिश की बूँदें आतीं,संग ले जातीं आँसू,
एक मौसम था ,कुछ बातें थीं...


एक मौसम था, कुछ बातें थीं...
उसकी एक झलक, दर्द मिटा जाती,
उसकी एक हँसी , गम लिए जाती,
उसका एहसास , मुझे मुझसे मिला जाती,
एक मौसम था, कुछ बातें थीं..


एक मौसम था, कुछ बातें थीं...
आज जब भी वो मौसम लौटता है,
संग होती है यादों की पुरवाई,
दिल से यही आह सी निकलती है,
क्यों आ गया इतना दूर, कि अब ज़िंदगी लड़ाई सी लगती है,
एक मौसम था, कुछ बातें थीं...

तलाश.....

मन में सवाल हैं बहुत
जवाब कहाँ से पाऊँ??

दिल में लेहरें हैं हज़ार
किनारा कहाँ से पाऊँ??

दूर आगे मंजिल है कहीं
रास्ता कहाँ से पाऊँ??

रास्तों में कांटें हैं तमाम
इतनी हिम्मत कहाँ से पाऊँ??

ज़िंदगी आगे कठिन है बड़ी
किसी परी का सहारा कहाँ से पाऊँ ......???
