Mehrangarh Fort.... The Great Haritage

Mehrangarh Fort....The Great Heritage

Today in the time of leisure, I took out my external hard disk and connected it to my laptop.
What to do now? I was feeling bored, there was dazzling outside. Cool breeze was blowing outside and some times some drops of rains coming in through window. The weather was very pleasant and full of fun

Connecting hard disk to my laptop, I was start surfing to folders in order to find something to work on. Suddenly, i found the pictures of Mehrangan Fort in my Pictures Folder. These click were catch up by me during my visit to this fort. 

WOW!! yes just WOW!!!

Every time i saw this clicks, I just hangs for a while and my mind always said WOW!!! What a clicks, What a Fort. Really if you ever imagine of forts, Do visit to Jodhpur and see this fort you will find what you had imagine was much smaller that this one.

BIG, BEAUTIFUL, GREAT, AWESOME piece of construction and honor in heritage buildings. 

Here is some informational details about Mehrangarh fort

The fort is situated 400 feet (122 m) above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur and Bikaner armies. Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory') gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract much attention even today.
The museum in the Mehrangarh fort is one of the most well-stocked museums in Rajasthan. In one section of the fort museum there is a selection of old royal palanquins, including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period rooms.
Mehrangarh Fort is also a favorite spot for Bollywood and Hollywood movies. Filming of the last installment of the Batman Series, The Dark Knight Rises, began on May 6, 2011, at Mehrangarh Fort.

As soon as you enters the fort you will start imagining the times of kings and the glory of living. Questions start flourishing in your mind that how kings were live, how they manage to stay in such a big fort, how many people were stay together in these fort etc....



 The view of Jodhpur city from the top of the fort is awesome. You will easily find out why jodhpur is called as Blue city due to the Blue painted houses around the Meharangard Fort



Its about 2 hrs passes away watching all my clicks and truly speaking, I am feeling very honored and proud to share some of the special click in my blog. 

Decades gone, Centuries will go but the glory of Mehrangarh will remain the same. 



Salute the legends who were a part in making of this gorgeous man making wonder.

3 Years, 11 Months, & 1Day

तीन साल ग्यारह महीने और एक दिन, समय कैसे निकल गया पता ही नही चला!
कल की बात लगती है जब मैं अपनी पहली कम्पनी SBI Life को छोड कर CLife (नाम परिर्वतन) में आया था। नयी कम्पनी, नये लोग, नया काम। एक छोटा सा अोफिस, गिने चुने लोग। पहले पहले तो लगा कहाँ पर आ गया हूँ पर फिर धीरे धीरे दोस्त बनते चले गये और यादें बनती गई।
बीमा कम्पनी में काम के दबाव के बीच भी हमारी अजमेर टीम हमेशा एकजुट रही। काम के साथ खुब सारी मस्ती मजाक एक अलग ही वातावरण बनाता था। मेरा हमेशा से मानना रहा हैं कि हम अपने दिन के आठ से दस घण्टे आेफिस में बिताते हैं इसलिए काम कें साथ मौज मस्ती का समन्वय  बनाना बेहद जरुरी हैं। चाहें कोई त्योहार हो या जन्मदिन कि पार्टी, हर बार सभी के सहयोग से शानदार जशन!!!
जब काम की बात आए तो हम किसी से कम नही थे। जोश के साथ होश, काम के साथ मोज कुछ एेसा था हम सभी का तरीका। सभ कुछ सही चल रहा था।
फिर ना जाने क्या हुआ, ना जाने किसकी नजर लगी। धीरे धीरे सब बिगडता चला गया। काम करने वालो पर ज्यादा काम करने का दबाव, काम ना करने वालो को अजीब सी रिहायत, आपसी स्पर्धा बढाने के नाम पर एक अजीब सा पर बहूत गंदा, असहनीय वातावरण चारो आेर ऎसा फैला कि एक अच्छी टिम बुरी, नकारा, नाकाबील कही जाने लगी।
अपने समय के दिग्गज, नामी गीरामी कम्पनी से अाएे हूएे काबिल कर्मचारी एकाएक नकाबिल लोगो कि सूची में आ गये। धीरे धीरे कुछ लोग दबाव में तो कुछ अपने आत्मसम्मान में छोड कर चले गये।
सब कुछ मेरी आँखो के सामने हुआ।
फिर भी अ़ग्रेजी में कहते हैं ना 'SHOW MUST GO ON'
सभी पूराने साथियो के जाने एवं सब से पुराना कर्मीक होने के नाते मेने अपनी तरफ से टिम मे वो ही एकजुटता व ब्राचॅ को वापस खडा करने के अपनी तरफ से हर संम्भव प्रयास किये। पर कभी कभार आपके प्रयास सार्थक नही हो पाते।
बिना किसी के लिएे सोचे, अपने ग्रहकों को दरकिनार करते हुऎ, ब्रॅाच को बचाने हेतु बिना कोई प्रभावी प्रयास के, कम्पनी कि गलत नीतियो कि वजह से 23 फरवरी 2012 को अजमेर ब्रॅाच बन्द कर दी गई।
शुरु से अंत तक का सफर अपनी आँखो में लिऎ 01 अगस्त 2012 को CLife को मेरा आखरी सलाम।
धन्यवाद उन सभी दोस्तो को जो इस सफर में मुझसे मिले, उनके सहयोग के लिऎ, और जो सम्मान उन्होने इस सफर में मुझे दिया।
हर सफर में कुछ खट्टे मिठ्ठे, अच्छे बुरे अनुभव होते हैं। पर अच्छा यही हैं की हम अच्छी यादो को संजोएे एवं बुरी यादो को भूल जाएे।
तो सभी सुखद यादों के साथ सभी साथियो को अलविदा और भविष्य के लिऎ शुभकामनाऎ ॥

5 Motivational Stories


God Help Those Who Help Themselves

Once there was a flood in a village.  People were to their roofs for safety. One of the men was constantly praying to God. He was deeply religious and a god- fearing man. Water level was rising steadily. Along came one boat, others asked him to climb onto it to save himself. He refused. He said, “ No, I will be saved by my God.” The boat left. After a while came another boat and again people insisted. He replied in the same vein.

The water level went up to the roofs finally. Then came a helicopter, and a rope was thrown to him asking to get in the helicopter. Again, the same answer. In a short while the man was upto his neck in water, and eventually died.
He reached heaven and bursting with anger, asked God why He didn’t come to his rescue, when he was an ardent devotee. God replied, “Foolish fellow, the rescue teams in the boat and the helicopter were sent by me. But it was you who did not want to save yourself. How can I do anything about it? I gave you three options, but you declined them yourself.”

MESSAGE

In this world we will, of course, have to face difficulties and problems, we do pray to God during those times, but we have to continue working hard. People who blame their luck for their misfortune or spill it on God will forever remain where they are, since God too loves those who work unceasingly and do not sit idle



Different People, Different Opinion

Four blind men once visited the king. The king gifted them an elephant and asked them to describe what they sensed. The blind man standing near the tail thought the elephant to resemble a rope. The one near the leg felt the animal to be a tree trunk. The person standing near the trunk thought it to be a snake, and for the one facing his stomach, the mammal was like a thick wall. This being said, a heated argument broke out amongst the four of them.

MESSAGE

The moral is that everybody ultimately experiences the world the way he/she thinks of it. What may be wrong for one person could be just the ultimate for another. The depth of our understanding totally depends on our way of thinking and experiences. We tend to press forward an argument, however hollow it may be. There can be drastically different    opinions of people on the same topic, and everyone goes around ranting one’s own philosophy. 


Never Give Up

Melanie wanted to be a dancer from the very beginning. She was a gifted artist. She could dance for hours on music. Seeing this, her parents decided to make her a ballet dancer. Those days there was a big dance troupe in town. Her parents took her to the chief of the ballet group and requested him to train her. He asked her to perform. She did that. Instead of paying any attention, he didn’t even bother to look at her. He was busy with his own work. After her performance, he admonished her, saying that she neither had the talent nor the inclination. It would be better if she gave up the idea of pursuing a career in that field and should opt for another career.
Melanie was heart- broken. She felt her world coming to an end. She followed the dance master’s advice and gave up dancing—her only passion. She joined as a teacher in a school. She had been working there for five years now. Once it so happened that the dance master was away for a while. Melanie was asked to supervise the children. She was teaching them dancing when suddenly the dance teacher reached there. She was stunned to see her talent. She encouraged her and praised her immensely. She told her that she danced superbly. Melanie was stunned to hear that. She couldn’t believe her ears. She was taken to the dance teacher and the world then witnessed one of its most exotic dancers in her.

So, we see how one pessimistic, negative minded teacher could curb Melanie’s talent for 15 years, whereas the other one shaped her into a true artist.

MESSAGE

Do you want some such person to demolish your aspirations and hopes and dreams? Do not surrender yourself to any such person who can turn you into a frustrated creature and pull you down.



Remain Silence Avoid Many Problems

Three engineers worked in a foreign land. For some reason the king of that place was displeased with them and punished them a death sentence. They pleaded and begged before the king. He wouldn’t retrace the decision, rather told them that God willing, they could be saved. In his kingdom, they could chop off the neck of the prisoner by some machine. On the day of execution, an old man who pitied them, advised them saying not to utter a single word there. Remain mum. Those engineers agreed to that.  The first one was taken to the guillotine. Somehow the gadget failed to work properly and the engineer was saved. It was the turn of the second engineer—same thing happened and he too, escaped the death-knell.
Now, the third one was intently watching all this. He forgot what he had promised to that old man, about keeping quiet. The moment he was put there, he jumped saying that what you are voicing as God’s sweet will, is nothing but a technical defect in the apparatus. He pointed out the flaw and the executioner easily did the job--- he was killed. 


                                                     
 MESSAGE

This principle advocates that whenever a situation is heated up, there is a controversy, any argument getting out of hand, your boss/husband/wife—anybody in a fuming rage, a single word from you would add fuel to the fire. So best would be—TO REMAIN QUIET.
After an argument, if the other person finds out that you were correct, even then you never retaliated, listened patiently—he would be thoroughly ashamed and embarrassed. He would certainly repent while your prestige would increase manifolds.
