Chokhi Dhani @ Mumbai

Definitely a great place to spend an evening with fly & friends. Its part of the Jaipur Chokhi Dhani and a great place. Food /service & entertainment was great. Ticket (Rs.500 @ Summer 2012) include the Snacks and Dinner. There is Traditional welcome with Tikka and Drum & Welcome Drink (Jal Jira). Snacks include kachori & kadi, sprouts, tea, gul & Bajri ki bhakhri. Food includes dal bati, khichda, kadhi, chaas, malpua etc in traditional style.
I tried my hands on gong and pottery making. Watched Folk dance, Puppet Show, Magic Show etc.(free) Played Nishane Bazi, took camel, horse bullock cart rides (extra charges) and got a head massage, and consulted with an astrologer (free included with tickets). There are Fortune Tellers, Tattoo Painting & Mehandi(Henna) designers, Haat Bazaar(Small Local Market) , Rajasthani Bangle and Kadas Shop ,Toys Shop, Jhulas. Overall a sort and sweet evening outing little away from the busy city.

When you have taken in the sights and the sounds, it's time to settle down and indulge your taste buds. Step in to the dining hall... which is renowned for the mouthwatering and typical Rajasthani food served to you on a leaf platter in the tradition of Manuhaar. From Dal Bhatti Choorma to Gatte Ki Sabji, you will find a wide, wide variety of dishes that'll leave your taste buds tingling for a long time, while the warmth of our service will stay in your heart forever.

Enough is Enough!

Senseless acts of Terror : hurt but not destroyed

A string of eight powerful explosions tore through first class compartments of down suburban trains at seven places within 11 minutes, between 6:24 pm and 6:35 pm, clogging the City’s lifeline with blood and gore. At least 150 people were killed and about 439 injured as terror stalked Mumbai’s crowded suburban trains on the Western line in the peak evening hours of Tuesday.

Packed to the brim and ferrying lakhs of commuters from the business district of South Mumbai to the suburbs in the northerly direction, the compartments were ripped apart, mangled bodies of passengers hurled out and bleeding survivors jumped off speeding trains for survival amidst cries for help and chaos.


 


Update :: Wednesday: Mumbai is back to wheels!!!

Life went back to normal elsewhere in Mumbai. Western Railway resumed its suburban services at night although trains were not running to capacity.







These children are on their way to school and happy about it. Says the little fellow, second from left, "Uncle, aap atankwadi ka photo nikalo. Hum sab maarenge usse (Uncle, take a picture of the terrorist and we all will kill him)."


Kudos to the spirit of Mumbai - the Never say Die attitude...
Dear Terrorist,

Even if you are not reading this we don't care. Time and again you tried to disturb us and disrupt our life -- killing innocent civilians by planting bombs in trains, buses and cars. You have tried hard to bring death and destruction, cause panic and fear and create communal disharmony but every time you were disgustingly unsuccessful. Do you know how we pass our life in Mumbai? How much it takes for us to earn that single rupee? If you wanted to give us a shock then we are sorry to say that you failed miserably in your ulterior motives. Better look elsewhere, not here.

We are not Hindus and Muslims or Gujaratis and Marathis or Punjabis and Bengalis. Nor do we distinguish ourselves as owners or workers, government employees or private employees. WE ARE MUMBAIKERS (Bombay-ites, if you like). We will not allow you to disrupt our life like this. On the last few occasions when you struck (including the 11 deadly blasts in a single day killing over 250 people and injuring 500 plus in 1993), we went to work the next day in full strength. This time too we cleared everything within a few hours and were back to normal - the vendors serving their next order, businessmen finalizing the next deals and the office workers rushing to catch the next train. Yes, the same train you targeted.

Fathom this: Within three hours of the blasts, long queues of blood-donating volunteers were seen outside various hospitals, where most of the injured were admitted. By midnight, the hospital had to issue a notification that blood banks were full and they didn't require any more blood. The next day, attendance at schools and offices is close to 100%, trains & buses are packed to the brim, the crowds are back. The city has simply dusted itself off and moved on - perhaps with greater vigor.

We are Mumbaikars and we live like brothers in times like this. So, do not dare to threaten us with your crackers. The spirit of Mumbai is very strong and can not be harmed. (Please forward this to others. U never know, by chance it may come to hands of a terrorist in Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq and he can then read this message which is especially meant for him!!!)


With Love,
From the people of Mumbai
