[hum-budbak-hai]

While scrolling I suddenly saw that someone was actually claiming that "sanjay leela bhansali is not a good director".

Bhai ap ek kaam kijiye, aap mumbai jaiye jake SLB ji se baat kijiye. Aur unse kaam mangiye. Aabh aap puchenge ki kaunsa kaam. Aap unse "personal adviser" ka kaam mangiye. Aapka kaam ek ghanta bhi nahi rahega janab.

That dumbo even said that "people started glorifying jauhar" bhai apka dimag ghutno pe hai kya? Alauddin Khalji Rani Padmavati ko apaharan karne wala tha.. Since he already won the war, Rani Padmavati understood that there is no other way to survive knowing Khalji had a huge lust for girls. She didnot had the urge to get physical abuse and die in the hands of a brutal person. That is the reason why she performed "jauhar". And you are talking about glorification? lemme explain. People glorified jauhar because it was no doubt a challenging work but she was not scared. Her bravery was glorified.

Now Heeramandi, Tawaiffs are like modern day Posh Prostitutes. And Tawaiffs were prostitutes. They used to dance, sing and after that they gave sexual pleasures to those rich men. Bro they are also human being. They need love as well. Again here Tawaiffs were not glorified their emotions were glorified in the series. And the world would die if there is a crisis of Tawaiifs or Prostitutes in the world. And because of these tawaiffs India got to know about kathak and other dance forms. Gajagamini and these types of walks were actually done by Tawaiffs. They were highly cultural. Some people even took there daughters to learn dance from them. They were the most cultural people out there. Kathak and Mujra songs are famous for them.

Bro going around telling that "they have no power" I mean what type of power are you talking about? They had servants because they worked on their own. They didn't had to depend on anyone. And as mallika jaan said that, "chaand kisike banrande mein nahi ata, chaand ko doorse hi dekhna padhta hai". And girls were not wanting their lifes they were wanting this type of posh treatments my dear. Girls want to be treated like queens but they don't want to be tawaiffs. (I have huge respect for tawaiffs) No one wants to be a tawaiff they were forced to do that. And once again GIRLS WANTED THEIR POSH AND RICH LIFESTYLE NOT THEIR LIFESTYLE.

The moral of the story of Heeramandi is, we need to respect everyone in this world even the Tawaiifs and Prostitutes because if they don't exist men will die. And yes I have no shame in telling this that yes men will die.

And one more, They were ROYAL thats why ROYALTY was showcased my dear.

And yes SLB did films which were not royal but they were Royal by heart like "Black" , "Guzarish" and many more. And he has budget my friend. Everytime, he makes a come back after 4 to 5years because he choose projects which will touch the heart of every individual and he showcases Indian Cultural in his creation. That why SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI IS SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI.

"YEE SAKAL BAN, SAKAL BAN," , "GHOOMAR GHOOMAR GHOOMAR GHOOMAR GHOOME RE", "PINGA RA PORI PINGA RA PORI PINGAAA"

[h0bg0blin-meat]

(this is not Vasant related but)

Do you think Shatrughan had an habbit of spinning ghoomar ghoomar since he was a baby because he was afterall the incarnation of Sudarshan Chakra...

Shatrughan:

RIP Shatrughan you would've loved Ghoomar.

Bro sports a ghoomar attire every now and then and starts dancing while Shurtakirti and Pushpak shower flowers on him all the while.

Jaipur more than just a destination

A Journey to the Pink City Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is known as the "Pink City" for its stunning pink-colored buildings. This city is a vibrant blend of tradition, art, and modernity. From its grand palaces to colorful bazaars, Jaipur offers a glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage. Let’s explore what makes Jaipur’s culture so unique.

A City Painted in Pink Jaipur earned its nickname in 1876 when Maharaja Ram Singh painted the entire city pink to welcome the Prince of Wales. Pink symbolizes hospitality, and this tradition continues, as many buildings in the old city remain painted in this hue. Walking through Jaipur's streets feels like stepping into a fairytale.

Majestic Palaces and Forts The architecture of Jaipur is a significant part of its culture.

Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds): This iconic structure has 953 small windows, allowing royal ladies to watch street festivities without being seen. Amber Fort: Known for its intricate designs and elephant rides, this fort is a marvel of Rajasthani architecture. City Palace: A blend of Mughal and Rajput styles, this palace showcases Jaipur’s royal heritage. These palaces tell stories of kings, queens, and battles, offering a peek into the city’s glorious past.

3.Traditional Rajasthani Cuisine Food is an essential part of Jaipur’s culture. The city offers a variety of mouthwatering dishes:

Dal Baati Churma: A traditional Rajasthani meal consisting of lentils, baked wheat balls, and sweet crushed wheat. Ghevar: A sweet dish popular during festivals like Teej. Pyaaz Kachori: A spicy onion-filled snack best enjoyed with tamarind chutney. Don’t forget to visit local eateries to enjoy authentic flavors served with love.

Festivals: A Riot of Colors Jaipur celebrates festivals with great enthusiasm.

Teej Festival: Women dress in green sarees and sing traditional songs to celebrate the monsoon. Jaipur Literature Festival: Known as the "greatest literary show on Earth," it attracts writers and thinkers from around the world. Elephant Festival: Held during Holi, this unique festival showcases beautifully decorated elephants, traditional dances, and games. Each festival highlights Jaipur's joyous and inclusive spirit.

Vibrant Handicrafts and Shopping Jaipur is a shopper’s paradise, offering beautiful handicrafts and textiles.

Jewelry: Jaipur is famous for its Kundan and Meenakari jewelry. Block-Printed Fabrics: You can find colorful saris and bedsheets made using traditional techniques. Blue Pottery: This unique craft is a Jaipur specialty, featuring beautiful designs on ceramics. Bazaars to Visit: Johari Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar, and Tripolia Bazaar are must-visits for a truly local shopping experience.

Dance, Music, and Folklore Rajasthani folk music and dance are integral to Jaipur's culture.

Ghoomar Dance: Performed by women in swirling skirts, this dance is a celebration of grace. Kalbeliya Dance: Known as the "snake charmer dance," it reflects the lifestyle of the Kalbeliya community. Folk Music: Instruments like the dholak, sarangi, and ektara create melodies that tell tales of love, war, and devotion. These performances are often seen during festivals and cultural evenings in Jaipur.

Warm Hospitality and Traditions The people of Jaipur are known for their warm and welcoming nature. Hospitality is deeply rooted in their culture, and visitors often feel like part of a big family. Respect for elders, vibrant attire, and traditional customs make Jaipur’s culture even more endearing.

8.Preservation of Heritage in Modern Times While Jaipur embraces modernity with luxury hotels and malls, it remains deeply connected to its roots. The city has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlighting its efforts to preserve its historical and cultural legacy.

9.Plan Your Visit If you’re planning a trip to Jaipur, take time to explore its palaces, taste its food, shop in its markets, and join in its festivals. Every corner of the city tells a story, waiting to be discovered.

Jaipur’s culture is a beautiful tapestry of history, art, and tradition. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or an art lover, the Pink City promises to leave you enchanted.

Are you ready to experience the magic of Jaipur?

[pjo-tvs-version]

this is a question i like to ask to many people:

if a foreigner who has no relation to India at all came to you and asked for a song that was basically an introduction to Indian music, and you wanted to impress them into listening to more Indian music, what is the first song you would recommend to them, not based on what you like but what they would probably like as someone with no knowledge of Indian culture?

Oh this is such a good question! This is soo very difficult to decide because Indian music is soo very diverse and it has its set of eras. This was hard very hard but I narrowed it down to 'Ghoomar' from the movie 'Padmavat' sung by the magical Shreya Ghoshaln. You should see the music video too and the it is very very melodious. It's a classic which I feel almost everyone enjoys. I know you said only 1 song anon but I can't stop myself without mentioning a few others (forgive me)

Pappu can't dance(Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na)

Gallan Godiyan (Dil Dhadkne Do)

Tum hi Ho (Aashiqui 2)

Kun Faya Kun (Rockstar)

Lat Gayi (Race 2)

Iktara (Wake Up Sid)

I can go on but I have to stop myself here. You have no idea how much I loved answering this ask! Thank you so much for it and I hope that you enjoy these songs.

What do you say @helpallthenamesaretakenblog?

[ramayantika]

So in my old school in kolkata, there was a girl. Let's call her Indu. So when I joined this school, the class teacher had told the class about me and my brother because we were the first and the only twins to join the class. Naturally, all the girls said hi and talked to me and told me about the class and the students.

Indu was dark skinned, wore specs and sometimes combed her hair in very unique hairstyles that made one question: How on earth do you do that and come to school.

But anyway Indu befriended me, gave my school notes just like the others too and helped me out for the first week of school.

Cut to grade nine and ten. Now we all were fair skinned girls. Half of them were think and had good figures too which made them attractive and boys had no problem talking to us. And colourism is still deeply rooted in us that the guys made fun of Indu and the girls just rolled their eyes or avoided her path. Indu would get annoyed easily and she had her own family problema tok which she had solely shared with me and I understood why sometimes she used to have angry outbursts. Like imagine a 14 year old with whom nobody wants to be friends because they are dark in colour and don't look nice and pretty plus the classmates openly boycott you too. So sometimes she used to answer back in anger, but she never did that with me or my brother.

In the tenth grade, I don't know why the boys started this trend of calling her 'cancer'. Each morning she would enter the class, they announced, "cancer is coming. Bey cancer aarhi hai jaldi chal" And by chance if any boy saw her before coming to class they would groan and say that aaj din kharab jayega. They would also gag and make sounds when she raised her hand to give an answer to a question.

Now the girls wouldn't engage in that openly, but they would sideline her or just smile in front of her for two minutes and walk away. I remember one time she was sitting beside me, and in front of me the girls were signalling me to leave her and sit with them. Each time I talked to her, they would joke, "indu toh is your best friend now, isn't it?"

My close guy friend too called her Cancer and onetime my brother stood up and asked him what has she done too you so bad that you need to call her cancer. He said, she deserves it because she is rude everytime.

I was silent. I couldn't take any stand for her even though she had helped me out because I didn't want to lose my friendship with others. During picnic and children's day parties, we all would est together and joke while she went alone to the food counter and got her food. Some girls out of pity called her just to be 'nice' to her but behind her they made fun of her sparkly stone pink dress.

There was a dance competition I was supposed to take part in, but I couldn't. She was performing on ghoomar and had dressed exactly like rani padmavati. People in class were whispering all sorts of things yet she walked with her head held high. I could never tell her that she really good in that lehenga.

Anyway she was among the best students in our class too. Now that I live in isolation with no friends, though my situation is still far better than what she had to face because I have never been mistreated, I feel bad that I couldn't do a single thing for her. If I were in her place I would dread coming to school knowing that people see you as a curse each morning. For me, all my friends have gone ahead and found their friends and stuff in uni and I feel that I am good for nothing and I am bad at everything. Thinking about her makes me think that what strength she must have had back then to still come to school and perform well in class.

Anyway she got her good friends in 11th and 12th. She had changed her school I think it was Mahadevi Birla girls in kolkata and now she is here in Kiit bhubaneshwar. I am sure that she is really going to be a very strong individual in life and I really hope that she becomes so successfull so all those people in class who made fun of her literally go silent.

The other girls I remember they would sing those songs which mean everyone is beautiful, scars, colour weight doesn't matter, yet they treated her this way, and I am no good too because knowing it to be wrong I could never call them out.

They post stuff like inner beauty and stuff but do we really believe that? Do they really believe that?

Pushkar's Holi Extravaganza: Where Spirituality Meets Vibrancy

Holi, the festival of colors, is celebrated with immense joy and enthusiasm across India.

But in Trip To Pushkar, the Holi festival takes on a unique and magical twist. Known for its spiritual significance and vibrant celebrations, Pushkar’s Holi Extravaganza is a perfect blend of sacred rituals and colorful revelry. If you’re looking for an unforgettable Holi experience, Pushkar is the place to be.

Why Pushkar is the Ultimate Destination for Holi

A Spiritual Vibe

Pushkar, a small town in Rajasthan, is a place known for its sacred charm. With the Pushkar Lake and the ancient Brahma Temple, the town has long been a pilgrimage site for Hindus. The town is calm and peaceful throughout the year, but during Holi, it transforms into a lively hub of colors, music, and dance. This combination of spirituality and festivity makes the Holi celebrations in Pushkar truly special.

The Fusion of Tradition and Fun

While Holi is celebrated across India, Pushkar adds a traditional touch to the celebrations. The spiritual rituals at the Brahma Temple, along with the cultural dances and songs, create a harmonious atmosphere where both locals and visitors come together to celebrate. The unique blend of devotional songs and the vibrant play of colors sets Pushkar apart from other Holi celebrations.

When is Pushkar’s Holi Celebrated?

Timing of the Festival

Holi in Pushkar is usually celebrated in March or April, depending on the lunar calendar. The main festivities take place on the day after the full moon, which marks the arrival of Phagun Purnima, the day of Holi.

The Build-Up to Holi

The excitement for Pushkar Holi starts days before the actual celebration. The local shops start selling colored powders, and the streets are lined with decorations. The buzz around the town grows as the day of Holi nears, and the festive spirit fills the air.

What Makes Pushkar’s Holi Unique?

The Holy Fire of Holika Dahan

One of the most significant rituals in Pushkar’s Holi celebrations is the Holika Dahan, the burning of the effigy of Holika, which symbolizes the victory of good over evil. This tradition is celebrated the night before Holi. People gather around the bonfire, singing traditional songs and dancing around the flames, as the fire symbolizes the removal of negativity and the welcoming of a new beginning.

The Colorful Celebration

On the day of Holi, the streets of Pushkar come alive with a riot of colors. Locals and tourists gather in the main areas of the town, where they throw vibrant colors on each other, dance to energetic music, and enjoy sweets and treats. The music ranges from folk songs to Bollywood hits, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

The Color Powder

Holi in Pushkar is all about colored powders—the brighter, the better! People throw powder in the air, and the whole town becomes a colorful canvas. As you walk through the streets, you'll see faces painted in every shade of the rainbow, making for a magical atmosphere.

Traditional Rajasthani Dance and Music

Pushkar’s Holi also features traditional Rajasthani dance and music, such as the Ghoomar and Kalbeliya dances, which add a cultural touch to the festivities. The rhythmic beats of the dhol and the lively tunes of folk songs invite everyone to join the dance, creating a sense of unity and joy among the people.

Holi Events and Celebrations in Pushkar

Community Celebrations at Pushkar Lake

The Pushkar Lake is the heart of the town, and it serves as the central spot for many Holi celebrations. Pilgrims and tourists gather around the lake, immersing themselves in the festivities. The atmosphere is filled with laughter, music, and the sounds of the dhol as people gather to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Holi at the Brahma Temple

The Brahma Temple in Pushkar is a key landmark during the Holi celebrations. Locals come to offer prayers, and there are special rituals conducted at the temple on Holi. The combination of spirituality and joy creates a beautiful and peaceful environment for people to come together and celebrate the festival.

Holi Parties for Tourists

For visitors, Pushkar offers numerous Holi parties, which are designed to provide a fun and safe environment to enjoy the festival. These events typically include live music, DJ performances, and unlimited colors. These parties are organized at hotels, resorts, and event spaces, offering both locals and tourists the chance to enjoy the celebrations in a controlled setting.

Tips for Enjoying Holi in Pushkar

Dress Comfortably

Since the streets will be filled with color, it’s best to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting stained. White clothes are often preferred, as the colors appear more vibrant on them. Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes, as you’ll be walking and dancing around a lot.

Protect Your Skin and Eyes

While playing with colors, it’s essential to take care of your skin and eyes.
