I can go on and on and on
Perhaps reason lies in the fact that exponents of Indian classical music have to follow a regimented kind of disciplined lifestyle.

Compare it to the western one- without being judgemental- note how many western geniuses fell to drugs n committed suicide at very young age!

22 cro views,11 lakh likes,58K comments & no dislike- this was one of her most moving romantic songs- a song that was sung so beautifully that it strikes at soul, every time u hear it…my all time fav and a song that millions like me are eternally grateful for,to Lata Di!
If there is a song that can easily be called as all time greats of Hindi film singing - it is this song….
Recorded in 1979 in BBC studios, this live performance can help u imagine the day when she sang that eternal classic romantic song…. Only once she opened her eyes- some one wud say that she is focusing on lyrical notes but I always felt as if she is meditating while singing this

Inke 80s when we were kids, we were no different either!

Collecting “billas” thrown by the autos, that used to come for campaigning and boasting about the collection. The slogan of 81 election was: बीड़ी पीना छोड़ दो, बीड़ी में तम्बाकू है, इन्दिरा गांधी डाकू है!
My oldest memory of elections is that of 1981 in class 1 after HNB resigned from Garhwal seat & fought against might of Indira Gandhi who threw a challenge to him. My mom was in village, hence I accompanied my father to the final day parade ground rally in his bicycle… thread 👇🏻
The loss in that election right after thumping 80 victory was a watershed moment in the Indian electoral history and contributed a lot to Indira’s transformation- post that loss-into a leader, who began actively disassociating herself from Muslim politics!

ये स्टिंग झूठा, केवल @harishrawatcmuk जी सच्चे
ये 19 April 1994 को त्रिलोचन भट्ट को दिया ये बयान (कि उत्तराखंड की माँग हास्यास्पद है) पर छपी खबर झूठी, केवल @harishrawatcmuk जी सच्चे Image
उत्तराखंड के तत्कालीन मुख्यमंत्री श्री @harishrawatcmuk जी के सचिव रहे शैलेश बगोली का 29 December 2016 की जुम्मे के छुट्टी का ये आदेश भी झूठ मगर @harishrawatcmuk ही केवल सच्चे Image

Thank you गिर दा 🙏🏻🙏🏻
उत्तराखंड मेरी मातृभूमि

मातृभूमि, मेरी पितृभूमि,

ओ भूमि तेरी जै- जै कारा म्यार हिमाला।

ख्वार मुकुट तेरी ह्युं झलको

झलकी गाल गंगे की धारा , म्यार हिमाला।

तली तली तराई कुनी

कुनी मली मली भाभरा , म्यार हिमाला ।
बद्री केदारा का द्वार छना,

छना कनखल हरिद्वारा, म्यार हिमाला।

काली धौली का छाना जानी,

जानी नान ठुला कैलाशा, म्यार हिमाला ।

पार्वती को मैत या छो,

या छो शिवजयू को सौरसा , म्यार हिमाला।

I came across a beautiful concept called “SheHaat”on Nahan-Kumarhatti highway. Brainchild of then Sirmour DC and a localite; this project helped reinforce my belief in the “son of the soil” theory delivering results, when it comes to bureaucracy!
Best part is that the walls of the facility have the pic of the man- whose brainchild it was- displayed prominently. Every women I spoke to, swore by him. His name is Dr Raj Krishna Prithu and he is a Himachal PCS officer promoted to IAS.
The facility came up on a panchayat land and was built by the Govt. It was then given to a group of 25 local women for running. All the women are trained in kitchen work, handicrafts, accounts and running the stores. There is a skill development unit attached to the facility
