It started with light rain showers when the clock ticked 1 a.m. late night; this series of rain showers continued till late evening today. After such a long wait we can finally say that monsoon has arrived, fulfilling the aspirations of the broken hearts which had left the hopes of Rain.

A Doctor is regarded and worshiped as GOD by a common man, they are trusted by the people who hand over the lives of their near and dear ones on them and a doctor always tries his/her best to save the life of the patient in the operation theatre.
But, does this fact ALWAYS holds correctâŚ.???
Well this  fact has been proved as a myth by the resident doctors of M.B. Hospital when they behaved brutally with  a help seeking son who came to them so that his mother could be saved. According to the sources, a 45-year old woman, Indira Kanwar who resides in Banswara was admitted in M.B. Hospital from past few days. There was no complain by her for the first few days but on 8th July 9.30 p.m. she suddenly started feeling uneasy and reverted about this to her son Jitendra Singh Chauhan who is a guest faculty at CTAE. But when the son ran to seek help from the resident doctor on duty that time, to his sudden shock he was ignored for the first time,  he didnât lose hope and tried the second time but this time also his efforts were in vain. When helpless, Jitendra tried raising his voice against this injustice, the doctors instead of attending the lady started quarreling with him and other doctors also came over and collectively started beating Jitendra. The son who came there to make his mother well again was brutally beaten and in the fight fractured his arm, fingers and also bruised his ear. The doctors also misbehaved with the guard who came to rescue and stop the fight. This also was not enough that the doctors started beating other relatives too including the ladies. In addition, On the top of it the media also became their target that night.
President of Lakecity Press Club, Mr. Akhtar Hussain and others lodged an FIR against the doctors at Hathipole Police Station.
However, the Police and media controlled the situation but it raises several question marks on our medical council which needs to be answeredâŚ..
The biggest question is does their conscience  allow them to perform such activities..??
Happenings like these create a huge setback in the minds of the patients and their relatives which creates a negative image for every doctor. We as the members of UdaipurBlog.com Team urge and request all the doctors to maintain their dignity and be calm and composed as they are kept in the place of God and they should respect that.
Monsoon has already knocked our city; these soft breezes brushing our hairs, tiny rain drops that falls on our body and touches our soul; seems like everything around is tinted in green and blue. So what else, other than Lakes, could be a better option to hangout in this super awesome weather?? Well actually there can be one more happening weekend plan to celebrate this monsoon and get closer to nature.
Udaipur is the city of lakes; but itâs the City of Gardens too, with many picturesque lush green gardens ready to cast their spell on you with dew drops on leaves, soft wet grass and cool and pleasant air. These gardens, grown more charming in monsoon breeze and dampness, can be an excellent hangout option with family and friends. You will be amazed to find so many choices; in fact options even more than Lakes. You can choose any one out of many as per your choice or plan a whole day out exploring these green retreats.
Nehru Garden – By Ashwin jain
Nehru Garden :-
Situated amidst Fatehsagar Lake, this island garden is truly an eye candy with its fountains and flower gardens. Though these fountains wonât soothe you by splashing water (for which I really thank our sleeping government officials), but with Fatehsagar all around it, you wonât be missing those splashes. Even the boat ride to the garden can be enjoyed when the only rides we enjoy now-a-days are bike or car ride on dusty roads.
Rajiv gandhi park – Gaurav bohra
Rajiv Gandhi Garden :-
This newly developed garden, located on Rani Road, is emerging as a new hot-spot in the city, particularly for couples in weekdays and families on weekends. Its different theme, the children park and the exotic views of city which it serves makes it a favorite weekend option for city dwellers.
With a statue of brave Maharana Pratap riding his beloved horse Chetak, this age old garden overlooks Fatehsagar Lake. It has many gardens built in the memory of Maharana Pratap and other brave warriors of Mewar.
Sahelion ki Badi :-
Built with a different concept of providing a place where royal ladies can relax and rejoice, this garden is famous for its greenery, marble architecture and fountains. Its fountains (mind you, if they are working properly) are sure to drench you without rain. While in the garden, you will feel as if you are in a fairy-land and your feet wonât leave its lanes and lawns.
Gulab Bagh – Yash Sharma
Gulab Bagh :-
Spread over an area of 100 acres, Gulab Bagh or Sajjan Niwas Garden is the biggest of all gardens in Udaipur. It has a zoo, a museum and a public library along with many beautiful gardens, the greenery of which is well maintained by the authority. It is ever blooming with people of various ages even on weekdays, especially in the morning and evening hours.
Doodh Talai – By Deepankshi Chittora

The Art of Living Guru Poornima celebrations took place in Udaipur. Many people gathered for a wonderful week of music and meditation, silence and celebration, fun and food, dance of devotion and much more. July 3 was the day of Guru Poornima, a day that holds special significance for the spiritual seeker to pay tribute to the teachers.
Hindus attach paramount importance to the Spiritual Gurus. Gurus are often equated with God and always regarded as a link between the individual and the immortal. Just as the moon shines by reflecting the light of the sun, and glorifies it, all disciples can dazzle like the moon by gaining from their Gurus. ‘Guru’ in India, holds a supreme significance. Guru is a person with revered personality, who by his teachings enlightens us. He introduces us to the vast world of knowledge and shuns our ignorance.
His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on the significance of Guru – Poornima
âAmong the 12-13 full moons in a year the vaishakha full moon is dedicated to Buddha (his birth and enlightenment), jyeshtha full moon to mother earth and the aashadha full moon is dedicated to the memory of masters. This is Guru-Poornima.”
A prominent Art of Living teacher, Mr. Anand Desai mentored by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji, is in Udaipur for few days for the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation course. It is pleasure of the people of Udaipur that they are getting chance to learn from a such a dynamic teacher who lives his knowledge.
He said, “Meditation is relaxing and reposing in that atom. So, think of all the things that you could be grateful for, and ask what you want. And bless everybody. We receive, but not just receiving is enough, we should give and bless those who are in need. ”
Hundreds of people gathered to attend the Guru Poornima Satsang by Anand Bhaiya at the Gujrati Dharamshala in Sector 11. Anand Bhaiya, alongwith the members of Art of Living mesmerized the audience with Bhajans like Satchidananda Nanda Guru Om , Jay Jaya Radha Ramana, Krishna Govind Gopala.
On the occasion of Guru Poornima,  Art of Living, Udaipur launched a website devoted to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji. – http://jaigurudev.me/

Itâs 1st July â itâs Doctorâs Day, a day dedicated to doctors in the honor of great Indian Physician Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy as this day was his birthday. Itâs a day to thank doctors for their services, a day to show them the importance they hold in our lives. On this occasion, we have collected some touching memories from the diary of a doctor; it sees a youngster growing into a respectable citizen, a complete trail of emotions and feelings attached with the life of a doctor. Read it and try to feel it.
âI am standing outside a big campus, my eyes enlightened with many new dreams and filled with immense pride as they read the words âMedical College and Hospitalâ. Yes, I am a medico now. My feelings-too much mixed; there is a âfearâ of new city, new friends, new life but Iâm âhappyâ too as I reap the fruit of 2 years of hard work; âexcitedâ to explore new folds with a sense of âresponsibilityâ towards mankind; Iâm missing my classmates also who have failed to clear PMT this year.â
âEvery time I wear a white lab coat and put a stethoscope around my neck, it fills me with a new vibrant energy and my heart swells with pride. But today, as I stepped inside the Hospital for my first Clinical Postings, I felt the real meaning of a doctor. I realized that from now on each day Iâll come across people suffering with pain, each day Iâll have to fill many eyes with tears as I tell them the disease they or their relatives are suffering from, each day Iâll be in war with many diseases. I shuddered at the thought. But as I got acquainted with my field, I got to know why people say that âDoctors are God on Earthâ; itâs the only field where one can directly serve the sick and needy and Iâm proud of my profession.â
âToday we were taken to Labor Room; the room was filled with the cries of a lady who was waiting to hear the cries of her first baby. Amidst those painful cries, that could leave almost anyone weeping, doctors were so alert and quick in their every step and decision; they were deaf to those cries but the moment baby cried, the smile that spread over their faces was worth the efforts it took; the satisfaction and happiness of bringing a new life in this world was simply priceless.â
âOperation Theatre â even the name fills mind with dreadful thoughts and the body goes numb. It was during my posting in Surgery Department that I realized what a Surgeon goes through during his practice. Long hours in OT when you have to be completely focused, where one small mistake can kill a precious life, emergency night calls, complicated cases that have to be dealt with complete perfection; but when patient thanks you and leaves your chamber smiling, no fees can compete with the satisfaction that smile can give you.â
âToday we got our farewell and during the function, past four and half years of my M.B.B.S. flashed in front of my eyes. I was overwhelmed with emotions as I recalled the best ever days of my college life; those lectures and our bunks, endless fights with friends aur wo masti bhare moments, yuck food in mess and meri hostel wali Maggie, movies till 4 in the morning, and the night before exam, and most of all Iâll be missing the carefree and tension free life as the life from here is going to be more tougher.â
âDamn!! I didnât get selected in any of the PG exam. :â( A one year loss matters a lot as it already takes 10 long years to be a Doctor. Iâll have to put in extra efforts this time so that I can get a good branch in PG.â âYipppieee!! Finally I have cracked my PG Entrance and got my favorite branch â Paediatrics đ â
âWe are preparing for tomorrowâs practical of PG final year. We all are hell nervous because we have heard that the external is a miser in giving marks but my roommate is crying. Tomorrow is her sisterâs marriage and she is stuck here with exams and books. We all tried to make her happy by organizing a mini-sangeet in our room. A couple of year back we were strangers, but now we are a family; this is the irony of our profession â it gives us many new relations by keeping us away from our blood relations.â
âIâm sitting in my chamber; itâs my first day in Hospital as a Doctor. The corridor outside my room is bustling, a bit with the cries of children and more with the shouts of their parents growing restless in the queue. And then tongues wonât stop complaining that now-a-days doctors donât give enough time per patient during checkup. God!! How can I attend my patients with these sounds ringing in my ears?â
âToday I entered the third decade of my life and I celebrated this birthday with some old friends. While chatting about our lives and jobs, I realized Iâm just at a starting level while my classmates have already got promoted 2 times and some even 3 times. My present salary stands nowhere in front of their several lakhs plus incentives. No, I am not greedy and I donât expect an increase in my salary, but am I wrong if I wish that people stop saying âYe doctors khoob maal kamate hainâ.â
—– —– —–
Did you notice in these excerpts that a medical student never ever thinks of a good salary, perks and all; he just wants to serve the society and the nation. But as responsibilities falls over his shoulder and one has to face the realities of life, he needs money in hand to support himself and his family. Whatâs wrong if a doctor takes 100 Rs per patient after 10 years of struggle and hard work? You call doctors âGodâ but they are mere humans; when our leaders can gulp down crores of public money, why canât we charge a fees worth our efforts and act a bit selfish? I donât deny that there are some doctors who have sold the serenity of this noble profession for few green and red notes. But what is the point in blaming thousand honest doctors because of few culprits??
I humbly request everyone on behalf of all doctors and medical students to once think calmly and with open minds on both sides of this coin and you yourself will know the truth. If ever in your lifetime a doctor cured your illness then today, give your 1 billion dollar smile to us that shows your trust in us, because that smile will be the best greetings for Doctorâs Day which will motivate us for even better services.
Happy Doctorâs Day to every medico⌠đ Today letâs say these lines, not to the world but to ourselves, and keep repeating it every day. âThe responsibility to take care of the health of mankind is on my shoulders and Iâll always serve under this responsibility with full dedication and honesty.â Be proud of ourselves and our profession. \m/
Itâs a weekend again. Our favorite SUNDAY is here again and a rocking plan for spending a happening weekend âBanta Hai Bossâ. After a week full of hard work, tensions, classes and pressure of completing our targets we all need a day full of fun with friends and family. The soaring high temperature which is increasing day by day makes me think of spending my weekend at a place that can make me forget the uneasiness caused by this heat.
So, Udaipies this weekâs hangout option is JAISAMAND LAKE. Just 48 kilometers away from Lakecity, one can easily reach the second largest manmade lake of Asia for spending a rocking holiday. Built by Maharana Jai Singh in 1685, Jaisamand, also known as Dhebar Lake came into existence while constructing a dam on Gomti River. Besides enjoying the scenic beauty of the place you also have the advantage of enjoying the amazing backdrop of the lake which consists of a summer palace of Udaipur Queens.
Well, as we canât visit an island in a day but Jaisamand fulfills the desire of island lovers too as it comprises of not one but seven islands. And now my favourite part, the lake has graceful marble steps which will take you to the journey of heaven when your feet will touch the lake water. At the top of the stairs is a Shiv temple for religious people. Yes, the same that showed up in the serial âYeh rishta kya kehlata haiâ. You can enjoy boat ride in the calm waters of the lake too, and have your lunch at the island resort. Wow, the hunch is adrenaline rush for itself. If you plan packing your own home made lunch for the family picnic, do have it at the âchhatrisâ(shade), but yes again, beware of the monkeys. They are quite professional beggars for food and irritating enough.
But wait, thereâs is one more thing to be added in the âto visitâ list which is the sanctuary near the lake. Yes, the place also serves the interest of nature and animal lovers; the lake has a sanctuary nearby that inhabitates different species of flora and fauna.
So, Udaipies what you all are waiting for just pack in your stuff and set off to actually personify the pleasures I just mentioned. Happy Weekend To all, and donât forget to share your weekend experience with us. đ
With the vast potential for development, abundant natural resources and 1.2 billion population (a lot of manpower), India is worldwide termed as one of the fastest growing economic power of the world. But this âmanpowerâ is lying useless on the streets of the country. Question yourself; have you ever saw a public place, temple or any other place to hangout where you can not spot a beggar sitting nearby?
The estimated unemployment rate in India as on March 2012 is 6.6%. The government further claims that the employment is stabilized. And in reality, most of the employment is masked, particularly under agriculture and allied activities. Furthermore, the Inflation rate of India has reached to 7.55%, and food and fuel are the most effected commodities.
And as cherries-on-top of all the chaos, the government claims that 28 Rs. are enough for a person per day to live.
So ultimately what happensâŚ
The unemployed person is forced to live the life of a beggar. The 28 Rs. that he collects are not enough to fulfill his hunger and thus he has to turn towards alcohol and cheap drugs which further ensures that he never leaves this vicious quicksand of poverty.
The short film, 28 Rs. (Enough???), tries to capture this theme and tries to put up the question over this feel-good figure given by the government.
The short film is made by a group of engineering students from CDFST, Udaipur (namely, The Thala Boyz Group). The credits goes like this:
Peace and happiness, which we feverishly seek in the world are already present within us, covered by the clouds of stress and strain. These clouds are lifted through “Sahaj Samadhi Meditation”, a gift of transcendental Meditation from ‘Sri Sri’.
Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is a natural, effortless system of meditation. Sahaj is a Sanskrit word that means natural or effortless. Samadhi is a deep, blissful, meditative state.
Everyone has experienced a meditative state in moments of deep joy, or when completely engrossed in an activity, when just for a moment the mind becomes so light and at ease. While we have such moments, we are unable to repeat them at will. The Sahaj Samadhi course teaches you how. This meditation technique almost instantly alleviates the practitioner from stress-related problems, deeply relaxes the mind and rejuvenates the system.
Sahaj means natural & Samadhi means enlightenment without effort. We connect to our inner self and Experience profound silence and inner bliss.
âMedÂiÂtatÂing is the delÂiÂcate art of doing nothÂingâââletÂting go of everyÂthing and being who you are.â
– Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
How does reposing in the Self help in day-to-day life:
When a river is calm, its reflection is clearer. When the mind is calm, there is greater clarity in the field of expression. Our powers of observation, perception and expression improve. As a result we are able to communicate effectively and clearly.
In Presence of Sri Anand Desai, a prominent Art of Living teacher trained by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji, belongs to affluent & well-known family in Dahod city, Gujarat. He had completed his B.E. Mechanical from M.S.University of Vadodara.

The Rotary Club of Udaipur Meera organized an annual meet cum facilitation ceremony, to mark an end to the glorious session of 2011-12. The function began today, 27th of June at RKay Mall in the afternoon by seeking almightyâs blessings after which President Dr.Veena Sanadhya began the meet by striking a hammer against the rotary gong.
Dr.Chirayu Pamecha, the renowned spine surgeon who is also the founder member of âSave a Child Trustâ was the guest of honor for the ceremony.

He shared the prestigious stage with Promodini Baxi, a senior Advocate and CA Nirmal Singhvi, President Veena Sanadhya and Secretary Devika Singhvi.
President Dr.Veena then enlightened the audience by her speech in which she briefed about the works done by the organization over the year and thanked her mates for their meaningful contribution. She also quoted a beautiful line from a poem which resembled the ups and downs of her lifeâs journey. Being an emotional moment for her on the last day of her tenure as president, she admitted it was really a challenge to hold the president’s chair and bear the responsibilities, but with all the blessings and cooperation of her mates, she was thankfully able to take steps wisely.
After this, Promodini Baxi took over the stage and while delivering her speech she gave the good news that she will provide free services to the affected females who cannot afford the fees and said that a divorced woman should, instead of crying on her destiny and her in-laws should become self-sustainable and try to work in the field which interests and attracts her the most, she also assured that Rotary club will fully help in their rising.
