Sisarma Continues to Flow

Monsoon is at its peak in lakecity, and the charm and beauty of the city is worth watching these days with the water level of the lakes still going up.

Sisarma is flowing at 3 feet from the last two days of heavy rainfall in the region. Pichola was recorded with an increase of 6 inches, Badi with 2 feet, Udaisagar with 4 inch and Fatehsagar with 1 inch and the level of Madar touched the level of 18 feet and gates can be open at any time. The Jakham dam, T.D. Dam and Bageri ka Naka also overflowed.

Faces glowed with a smile after seeing the lakes sparkling with water. Everyone is optimistic to see an active monsoon in the following days. Hope that our major lakes like Fatehsagar, Pichola, and Badi will be brimming in the near future and continue to enchant the Udaipies and the tourists.

7 Comments on Udaipur Youth Supported Anna Hazare’s Movement

In protest of Anna Hazare’s arrest on the issue of the JanLokpal bill, a candle march rally was organized today on the 17^th of august 2011 at the core of the lakecity at the Fatehsagar lakeside (paal) by all the youth of Udaipur. This great public protest and gathering of about 300 Udaipurites was in the support of Hazare’s Anti-corruption (Janlokpall bill) movement. One was able to feel the anger in the atmosphere against the government’s move of arresting Anna and his follows.

The spark off protests against the government’s move of arresting Anna and his followers created anger in the whole atmosphere. The step was initiated by a few regular readers of UdaipurBlog at a dedicated Chat room for them, and was wholeheartedly supported by all the members of UdaipurBlog. The whole spark was enlightened online only and no offline authority was involved here.

UdaipurBlog team is thankful to all the people of Udaipur for their massive support and we kindly appeal all of them to maintain a supportive and peaceful atmosphere in the city, and to oppose corruption in any form

Here are few glimpses from the march at Fatehsagar in protest of the Anna Hazare’s arrest and refusal for demonstration by the Indian Government

Independent India Turning 64: Are we Really Independent?

Post author By Palak Jain
Post date August 14, 2011
8 Comments on Independent India Turning 64: Are we Really Independent?

Independence Day- the day when British left the golden bird free from their rule. But the bird was left looted, harassed, with the slightest of hope to survive. Then followed a long fight for the survival of golden bird. 64 years have passed and the country is still ‘developing’. The whole world says and even we believe that we are the citizens of an independent country. But a question always keep on hovering in my mind, the answer to which I never found out. You also give it a try. Is India really free? Are we not bound by so many handcuffs of ever growing poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, crimes, men-women inequality, limited technology and the worst of all which potentiate other bounding forces too- Corruption?

Team UdaipurBlog gathered some statistics. Have a look and you all will support me.

Name of Scam	Year	Amount
Jeep Purchase	1948	80 lakh
BHU Funds	1956	50 lakh
MUNDHRA SCANDAL	1957	1.25 crores
Teja Loans	1960	22 crores
Kuo Oil Deal	1976	2.2. crores
HDW Comission	1987	20 crores
Bofors Pay-Off	1987	65 crores
St Kitts Forgery	1989	9.45 crores
Airbus Scandal	1990	2.5 crores per week
Securities Scam	1992	5000 crores
Indian Bank Rip-off	1992	1,300 crores
Sugar Import	1994	650 crores
JMM Bribes	1995	1.2 crores
In a Pickle	1996	10 lakhs
Telecom Scam	1996	1.6 crores
Fodder Scam	1996	950 crores
Urea Scam	1996	133 crores
CRB Scam	1997	1000 crores
Vanishing Companies Scam	1998	330.78 crores
Plantation Companies Scam	1999	2,563 crores
Ketan Parekh Scam	2001	137 crores
Stockmarket Scam	2001	1,15,000 crores
Home Trade Scam	2002	600 crores
Stamp Paper Scam	2003	30,000 crores
IPO- Demat Scam	2005	146 crores
Bihar Food Relief Scam	2005	17 crores
Scorpene Submarine Scam	2005	18,978 crores
Punjab City Centre Project Scam	2006	1500 crores
Taj Corridor Scam	2006	175 crores
Pune Billionare Hasan Ali Khan Tax Default	2008	50,000 crores
The Satyam Scam	2008	10,000 crores
Army Ration Pilferege Scam	2008	5000 crores
The 2-G Spectrum Swindle	2008	1,76,000 crores
State Bank of Saurashtra Scam	–	95 crores
Illegal Money in Swiss Bank (est. till 2008)		71,00,000 crores
The Jarkhand Medical Equipment Scam	2009	130 crores
Rice Export Scam	2009	2,500 crores
Orissa Mine Scam		7,000 crores
Madhu Koda Minning Scam	2009	4,000 crores
Commonwealth Games Scam	2010	40,000 crores
Grand Total	Rs. 91,06,03,23,43,00,000/-

Shocked seeing the figure?? Don’t be because there is still a large figure behind the scene which the CBI has failed to suspect.

“Angrez chale gaye par inhe chod gye”- the best phrase that can describe our corrupt politicians and high commanding officers. And why only blame these famous names. Even an ordinary man is giving them a tough competition- Wrong ways to save income tax, Under table income, and what not. Fighting with any outsider is easy but how to fight with someone amongst ourselves. How to punish a crow from within a group of parrots? And what adds to the tragedy is that everyone is inside this dirty cave of corruption. Those who are in the light of honesty and truthfulness don’t want to make an initiative to clean this dirt.

A grand salute to those great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Swami Vivekanand, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Bhagat Singh who broke a revolt against British and drove them back to their home. Today again we need such leaders to drive corruption out of this beautiful country. Then we all will proudly say that “Yes!! We are the citizens of an independent country which flies unbound in the sky of glory and success”.

Happy Independence Day to all from Udaipur Blog!! Let us vow to make our country a free bird again.

Jai Hind!!

Rakhi – The Thread of love

No Comments on Rakhi – The Thread of love

Finally, the festive season has begun and after the monsoon greenery, its time to see the festive colors all around. The market is lad in colors and is ready to welcome you with every possible thing which makes your festival a complete one.

India is considered rich in culture not only because we have so many festivals marked in our calendar, but because here every relation is a festival in itself. It s not about celebrating these festivals but it is about thanking God for each and every relationship He’s bestowed us with.

The forthcoming and the most awaited festival RAKHI is on its way to start with the spat of Indian festivals. It is considered as one of the most beautiful relationship in this world- a relationship of a brother and a sister. The endless small fights and the never ending love between a brother and a sister makes it pure as an elixir. You find a care of a father, a scolding of a mother and an advice of a friend in this relationship.

Thanks to UB that I got a chance to write something on this heavenly festival which means more then a world to me.

This RAKHI is very special to me as after this my bro will not be with me for the next four years. Bro no matter how much the distance between us, but I know you’ll be there with me as always whenever I’ll need you. I’ll miss you a lot and this was the best possible way I could express my love for you. It is an unconditional bond of love. The essence it carries and the aroma it creates is like a meditation to the soul. No matter what happens, no matter how badly you get into trouble, you know that your bro or sis will be always there to stand by you. You can share all your secrets with them , of course, with a little tension that they might come out of their mouth if you happen to fight with them but still with a trust that they won’t let it out.

Cheers to such a crazy, funny and a lovely relationship of a bro and a sis. I feel blessed to be a part of it. Thank you God and thanks mum and dad for this precious and ever-lasting gift. I still remember how badly I used to crave for it above all my dolls n toys.
A very Happy Rakshabandhan to all the Udaipies.

Enjoy and have fun and a special note for every sis- Don’t leave your brother without the gifts. 🙂

On Friendship Day evening – the crowd convened on fatehsagar to enjoy the Rocking Performance of the ‘Octive Band’ who represented the theme of Friendship with the Nature in the event ‘Karo Dosti Nature ke Sath’. 🙂

The motive of the event was to make people befriend the Nature and persuade them to grow green and plant trees this Monsoon. 1000 plants were distributed during the event to support this motive. The concept of the Event was by the young Chaps of Udaipur – Sahil Thakur and Piyush. The event commenced at 6p.m. which was hosted by Anchor Piyush and Managed by Frozen Apple Events and Entertainment. The event was presented by Our Real Estate Pvt. Ltd. and ‘The Safal Society of Education & Social Welfare’ and Supported by – 94.3 My Fm, Swastik Digital Studio, Amul Namkeen, Rajkamal Tent House, Ashoka Bakery, JMB and your very own UdaipurBlog.com 🙂
