Jhansi and Bundelkhandi music

By

Jhansi had glorious heydays in time of Bundelas and Chandelas.
There are folklare about Alah and Udal that we heard during our childhood. Then there is the delicious mouth watering Bundelkhandi dishes especially the pakoda studded kadi , "nonian" and all variations of leafy vegetables sabzies.
The language itself is so beautiful and musical. When you get to hear words spoken or song sung in any context you simply want to hang onto them and hope they last for a while.
Anything budelkhandi brings tears to my eyes. Today I searched for bundelkhandi songs and found very little interesting stuff.
This search in google gave me a nice Durga ji bhajan.


A christian missionaries discourse is also available. If you can ignore the religion part and care only about the beauty of the language then go ahead and listen.


Not much beyond that. Do provide links and direct me to efforts which people are putting to bring Bundelkhand online in the comments section below.

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

तुम दीन नहीं हो - live ashtavakra commentary by Sri Sri Ravishankar ji

By
तुम वही हो. तुम सूर्य कि किरण नहीं, तुम उस किरण का विस्तार हो. तुम सूर्य हो.  जिस प्रकार सूर्ये अपनी किरणों को हर खिड़की के माध्यम से हर घर मैं भेजता है, उसी प्रकार परमात्मा अपनी पूर्णता को छोटी छोटी आत्मायों मैं भेजता है.  यह बात दूसरी है कि जब आत्मा अपने पुर मैं वास करने लगती है, अपने शरीर रुपी घर मैं रहने  लगती है तो भूल जाती है कि वह सिमित नहीं है, उसका विस्तार ही परमात्मा है.  लेकिन घर मैं घुसने के बाद आप कांच के टुकड़े मैं सूर्य का प्रतिबिम्ब देखते हो ओर अपने आप को सिर्फ एक किरण मात्र समझने लगते हो. जरा बाहर झाँक कर भी देखो, सूर्य का अनुभव तो करो. तुम्हारे आस पास भी वही सूर्य का अंश है. तुम्हारे पड़ोस मैं भी वही सूर्य कि किरण है, तुम्हारे गाँव मैं जो रिश्तेदार हैं वहां भी वही सूर्ये है. सूर्य कोई भेद भाव नहीं करता. तुम क्यूं ऊँच- नींच मैं पड़े हो.  तुम्हारे दुःख का कारण  क्या है. तुम गुरु से तो मिले हो. तुमने गुरु को साक्षात् किया है. लेकिन तुम संपूर्णतः यह निश्चय नहीं कर पाए हो कि येही सत्य है. पूरे भरोसे कि कमी होने से ही दुःख होता है....

Pay Online Property Tax Bangalore BBMP

By
Once again the time comes to pay tax to government . I called Mr. Shivappa who offers his services after office hours to residents of Brigade Gardenia. He asked me to come to the newly constructed BBMP help center in RBI layout, behind Capital School on 2nd Main. I could not locate it the first time and the good old postman on the Luna asked me to sit behind him and turned back from his onward journey of dropping letters to show me the place. To our dismay the help center was right in front of us after 2 sec ride. Mr. Shivappa who had explained me the address of the place and also asked me to come there with previous two years receipt, khata and blank cheque . I requested him to disclose the amount so that I can pay it online. He did not. He asked my the flat area and then ignored my bodily existence. When I was in front of him requesting the same information he suddenly stopped understanding my Hindi and English . A good samaritan who was standing nearby explained to him that...
