Goga Peer ki Chhadi This is a long stick, wrapped around with holy red, white little clothes and threads. At the top of this stick, there are many peacock feather attached to it. This is called a Goga Peer ki Chhadi carrying by few people travelling place to place for asking donation in form of oil, ghee, clothes or may be money. In this group, there is a person who sings devotional bhajans and another person play little musical instruments. They visited our village few days back Independence day. My wife told me that these people come every year and ask for donation in such musical way by visiting home to home in the village. When these people near our house, we were in our bedroom at first floor. We were playing with our daughter that time, and they stopped at main door.

A woman standing near a flag shop You see this stall where a woman and her kids are selling Indian flags and accessories for the kids. These accessories are supposed to wear on Independence day or before the day. I'm posting this after the independence day, but I stopped at this shop on 12th aug 2026. This flag shop carried on a bike attached to a mini lorry with a woman, her kids and her husband. I found it pity that how a little family riding on a mini cart attached to a bike selling these flag accessories. I stopped there and this woman treated me well with a professional tone. Like she was asking "sir aapko chahiye". First I bought a tricolor scarf for my daughter, then few small accessories like hair band, wrist flag, a tricolor tag, tassel hair ties etc. Prerna on Tricolor day 14th Aug 2026 And all these accessories suited well on my daughter. I was happy that I purchased few great things to make my daughter's first tricolor day celebration memorable.  All these...

A white pigeon sits on a curtain in our house These pigeons are basically living in my house. They are sitting on the curtains under the lobby just outside my room. There is a washroom along side these curtains in front of the door of my bedroom. There is only my bedroom and a washroom alongside on the roof at my home. Checkout this white pigeon who regularly visits and sits outside our bedroom. This white pigeon is more quieter and calm then blue ones. I never saw white pigeon before at anyone's house. It makes me wonder what thist means, is it a sign of good luck coming to my life? A Pigeon sits outsides the bathroom on curtain These pigeons go inside the bathroom and make nest by bringing dry grass, twigs and straw daily. My wife just wasting their hard work by withdrawing those. And I told her many time that let them make home and get a shelter provided by us. But she refused to have them a shelter inside our house as she believes pigeons shouldn't come in houses and making...

This is a Dak Kawad vehicle image was taken by me and I'd like to discuss something about these. I noticed the same music they keep playing day and night. And these songs are not devotional, soft and spiritual. Yes, Lord Shiva got mentioned in those songs, but not to spread good things like devotions, spiritual vibes, peace, faith and positivism. But the kanwar season brings its own soundtrack—loud, aggressive, and full of desi chhapri style like, "Bhole the Haryana ke", "System padte chale", "Damru Ala" and many more. Kawad Shivir Playing Noisy Music  Pad Yatra Kawad Playing the same noisy music I noticed almost every Kawd shivir or vehicle was set up with DJ playing the same noisy, chhapri music which can't sound spiritual or spread a peaceful positive vibes. My point is this, should we really appreciate such songs which spreads use of drinking Bhang or alcohal, smoking weeds and many other drugs or addictive substance in the name of Shiv Bhakti ...

You see these guys who are dressed like Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. And it seems like they are entertaining each other by some jokes or any amusement. This picture was taken by me when there was a convoy with DJ and these shiv bhakts came to our street in our village last night. At First, a DJ came and then a tractor loaded with these shiv bhakts with few more persons who were wrapped with ashes and little human skulls. Once the DJ stopped in front of our gate, someone brought a cold-drink dew for these shiv bhakts which were riding in the tractor behind the DJ. You see now Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are enjoying mountain dew. After this refreshment, they cam down and start dancing in front of DJ. Many people cam outside thier houses and enjoying the show like how Bhagwan Shiv were dancing with devi parvati. I was wondering what is wrong with the people now-days. They made bhagwan shiv and parvati an entertainment. Was that necessary to carried out such rally where we need to i...

Dear readers, this is an old post, but I am sharing it now. My brother had a baby boy, and I was right there when the news first came out; everyone had such different expressions at that moment. It seemed like the efforts put into ensuring the birth of a boy had finally paid off.  I remember the time during the birth of my daughter, the people waiting outside were visibly disappointed the moment they heard the news; it was seem like they would need some time to recover from this shock. Neetu was convinced or make sure by the people around her from the beginning to believe she would definitely have a baby boy. But when a girl was born, there was just silence—there was no true excitement for celebration or welcome. I don't understand why there is such excitement over a boy and such disappointment over a girl. My wife Neetu with new born Neetu was sitting there, holding Vayu (the newborn's name) in her lap. The mother and baby had been shifted to a private ward. Meanwhile, our dau...

Finally I attented the first PTM of my daughter's school, Euro Internation School Bhiwadi. My daughter is in M-1 class. They call it montessori 1. First unit test was done before the summer vacation. Now they need to announce the result and discuss overall academic performance of my daughter. First, I was thinking that there will be a regular day like the bus will come in the morning and also at the dispersal time. Parents are needed to visit the school into the given time slot. But nothing was cleared in school's common whatsapp group. So I did message to Prerna's class teacher and she told me that there will be holiday for children. The school must clear all the inctructions for new parents as well. In the morning, we got late due to some personal grooming and all. Then we reached the school at 11am. We entered into the class and exchanged the smiles with the class teacher. For a moment, we didn't speak anything at starting, we just got standup near the table of the c...
