we can plan our 'open air' functions based on this site
जब हमारे घर का कोई कार्यक्रम होता है...तो एक tension ये भी होती है की डेरे या गुरुमहाराज या जहा भी अपना function होता है वहा कितने tent लगाने पड़ेगे ....specially दिन के funcitons या वशेक में तो मैन टेंशन होती है की टेंट कितला जुवेगा .....
I have found this site...that gives your 5 days forecast of Banswara weather....I hope this site gives some level of solution to plan such functions...
At least it will give you idea if the weather on the function day would be sunny or rainy or normal...& based on that one can plan what arrangements he/she will need....
One can follow simple steps like :-
-------------------------------------
1. Open www.wunderground.com
2. Type 'Banswara' under Search option & click 'Go'
- It will open a page displaying current weather conditions of our Banswara
- It will also display 5-Day Forecast for Banswara
- It will inform you max / min temperatures for next 5 days
- It will also display extended forecast where you can find more details about day time & night time weather details.
-------------------------------------
I hope that website like this will help us to plan events at Banswara....at least we can plan open air functions based on seeing weather conditions...
हाँ अगर तडके की जगह अगर बारिश हो जाए तो मुझे गालिया मत देना :)

sad demise of Vinod Mama
Just came to know from Shirish about the sad demise of Vinod Mama.....
...loosing someone is always sad & at such young age...its quite shocking...
During my last visit to Banswara.....due to Atul's wedding....I interacted him multiple time in terms of wedding preparation...& it is so sad that I will never see the same person again...
...during same period when I went to Padoli (it was my 1st time)...& I remember he said to me that '...तू आवी गयो तो हमारे भाविक नी कमी पुरी थाई गई.....'
since my school days...I have spent lot of time with Bhavik...so it was natural to spent quite a few time at his Mama's home...& like Bhavik.....even I used to address him as Vinod Mama only.....
So this news came as a shocker to me... I
I pray to God to give strength to his family(specially wife/kid) to bear the greatest loss...And I also condole all his near & dear ones, & pray to God that may his sould rest in peace....

नवरात्री ना गरबा at अम्बामाता मन्दिर ....Then & Now....
कुछ 10-12 साल पहले......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
school time per i remember the excitement we bhaibhands used to have for Navratri.
of course....new clothes ...aur wooing girls was one craze....but biggest excitement was for dancing during every night....& as late as we can....
i remember that हमारे भाई-भंड्स गोर्ध्नाथ मन्दिर के अंदर मैंन गरबे शुरू होने से पहले practice करते थे ...की सबकी steps synchronized होनी चाहिए....
डेरे पर गरबे कुछ २-३ hours तक चलते थे ..... Though we used to enjoy a lot at डेरे but main wait ye hota thaa अम्बामाता मन्दिर ke garbo kaa..... क्युकी डेरे सिर्फ़ नागरवारा वाले लोग होते थे और अम्बामाता मन्दिर में पुरे बांसवाडा के लोग आते थे...
क्युकी डेरे और अम्बामाता मन्दिर ...दोनों जगह हम नागर समाज वाले ही गरबे गाते है इसलिए डेरे गरबे ख़त्म होने पैर ही...अम्बामाता मन्दिर मई चालू होते थे .......
.....और डेरे गरबे ख़त्म होने पैर....we all used to march towards अम्बामाता मन्दिर ....
और वहा का माहोल डेरे से एकदम अलग होता था....
-काफ़ी भीड़ होती थी...... full 2 crowd....full 2 rush.....from all over Banswara...
-बहु लड़के लड़कियों को परेशांन करते थे .......इसलिए लड़के / लड़कियों के हमेशा गरबे अलग-अलग साइड गरबे किए जाते थे ....
-काफ़ी बार एसा हुआ है की...इतनी भीड़ होती थी...की रस्सियों से गरबे करने वालो की multiple lines होती थी...
- बहुत लोगो के जुटे-चप्पल चोरी होते थे.....मेरे भी २ बार हुए है॥
- daily garbe 2-3am tak chalte thee....aur last night तो सुबह 5-6am तक चलते थे॥
- उस टाइम के टॉप Dons like 'Inka da', 'Vimal da', 'Raja-Jani'....aur unke gangs की fights होती थी...और हम नागर सब उनकी fights के किस्से enjoy करते थे......
I am sure की अब तक मेने जो लिखा वो पढ़ कर आप भी खो गए होंगे वो पुराने दिनों में जब अम्बामाता मन्दिर के गरबे पुरे बांसवाडा में famous हुआ करते थे...
।---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
कुछ 4-5 साल पहले...
I was working in Noida & i managed vacations during navratri from my job....I was super excited because I was going to Navratri in Banswara after 7 years......
I buy some new clothes...in order to make sure that daily I wear new dress......& arrived in Banswara...
But what I saw on 1st night was really shocking.......the garba at nagarwara lasted only around 1hr...& scene at अम्बामाता मन्दिर even worst...I didn't find even 10% of crowd that used to be there during school days......& there was only nagar public there......& hardly anyone outside nagarwara....
And same continued for rest of the nights....
Because of the constructions at Dhere....there is not enough space....so only kids & women do the garba.....& no space for guys to do the dandiya
I asked few of my bhaibhands...about sad state of Garba at अम्बामाता मन्दिर....& they told me that there are some ego clashes between मंडल ..... between people who sing/organize at Dere अम्बामाता मन्दिर....
None of them are willing to compromise....और इसलिए अम्बामाता मन्दिर में गरबे अब पुराने दिनों की तरह famous नही रहे...
I also observed that pehle sirf Nagarwara, Kalika Mata aur Ambamata ke garbe hi Banswara mai famous होते थे पर अब I see that in every colony they organize garbas at big scale.....Infact they even hire 'Nagarwara singers' to sing for them....
So at one side....the legacy of 'Great Garbas' that we started in Banswara is being followed by rest of Banswara.....but unfortunately same legacy is not being followed or maintained by us.....

singing based TV shows & singing talent of nagarwara
since my school days...I always wonder why people from nagarwara who are so talented in music, specially singing ......don't do anything big.....in terms of national or international level recognition....
..& now with so many TV channels running multiple singing based shows... like SRGMP, StarVOI, Indian Idol , K4Kishore etc etc.......still we don't see anyone from our samaz participating in any of such shows....
what do we lack to participate ?
- these competition doesn't require any fee...so we can't use excuse like....financial reasons ..
- or do we have fear of failure? what if I participate there , don't get selected....then everyone in nagarwara will make fun of me ?
- or is it just that we don't have any desire to make it big ? we are happy in our daily routine life either as a engineer, doctor, banker, marketing person...etc etc
- or we r happy in singing in wedding functions or NSC programe & don't want to go further...
I don't know the reason myself......but I won't hesitate to say that many times while listening to songs from some singers in TV shows.....I feel that ohh ...that guy in nagarwara can sing better than this TV guy
I would be happiest person....when I will see someone from our samaz participating in such TV singing based programe....
And even if that person might not win the competition....but nagarwara samaz will be surely a winner...& such things will encourage more & more people to participate & make proud for our samaz....

Ganpati Chowth
sabhi nagar bandhuo ko mere aur Govind Mochi ki taraf se ganpathi chowth ki bahut bahut shubh-kaamnaaye..
I am not sure ki aajkal ladke waha jagran karte hai ki nahi...but during our time.....we used to eagerly wait for this festival....
after all this was one day where we used to get license to do any tod-phod around nagarwara...
Duniya festival day time manati thi...aur hum naggatte...raat ko.....jagaran aur goth karke...
infact muzhe lagta thaa school mai chutti next day honi chahiye aur naa ki chowth ke din...
dopahar ko bhaibhand kaa paale jaake makiye kharidna......aur saath mai churana bhi...
phir 9-12 movie jaana...waha mastiya karna...
uske baad nagarwara aake.....bhajiye khana.....
& then the actual fun used to start.........KAKKAIYO se DHOOM machana....
I proudly say that I was part of the gang that broke the ADDIDAS shop glass....
I was also involved in breaking the 'Vidhyaniketan School Board'...
I watched it live when one of my bhaibhand broke the window of one auto...
But sabe jyada excitement, thrill, maza aur challenge hota thaa...Govind mochi ke ghar per paresani karna....
uske ghar ki har window, darwaje per kakkiye phekte thee....
...halat ese ho gaye thee...ki nagarwara walo ke saath-saath Govind mochi ke gharwale bhi Jagran karke apne ghar ke bahar bethe rehte thee......so that they face least trouble from us...
hamare school teachers ko bhi ye baate pata chali thi...aur infact ek din muzhe pucha ki tum ye sab karte ho...aur mene besharmo ki tarah bola ki "yes...aur maza bhi aata hai tod-phod mai'
needless to say i was shown the door during that class......
I still cherish those days....jaha 1st day ladies jagaran karti thi...garbe hote thee....aur next day hum ladke jagran-gotth-aur tod-phod....
