Stay In Nathdwara In Rajasthan And Leaving For Jaipur To Access South India

Stay In Nathdwara In Rajasthan And Leaving For Jaipur To Access South India

Having reached Mavli thanks to Train Number 12992, the said train went all the way to Chittaugarh (Chittorgarh) in Rajasthan State and then went back for a while to touch Kapasan, Fatehnagar before reaching Mavli the station known for hosting visitors primarily Jelly and Kelly. The station was all lit up and as one stepped out it was pitch dark with no information on mode of transport that could be availed to reach Temple Town Nathdwara, some taking comfort in reaching the same by vehicle of the make of Tavera. Bus services from Mavli to Nathdwara seem to be non existent and as for auto ride the sort of road to ply on was a big deterrent. Here the need is for Indian Railways to lay tracks all the way to Nathdwara Middle Centre not 10 kms here or 15 kms there so that passengers are not left in the lurch with least acceptability of airlines/railways functioning with any grudge. One private taxi owner initiated discussion by and large prodding me to take the ride as other modes of transport sighting looked blight. 

Commute From Mavli Started Little After 9.20 PM

The commute started little after 9.20 PM with taxi owner not wearing jean and enveloped in visible beam. The road is in a dilapidated state suggesting fewer and fewer take this route to reach temple town where some at night are draped in gown. Absence of public transport on this stretch was something the vernacular press had not highlighted probably the good law and order steam in this belt had in the past chased away robbers and their designs thwarted. Those out to raise disturbance won't have best of times as in distant land Prince Charles had been knighted and he and his entourage would shine. As for Indian Railways train ride it was revelation of sorts with Bhilwara and Chittaugarh best ranked as business and tourist spots in Rajasthan and with augment of summer vacation in Europe this would see rush of visitors with none whatsoever jitters. 

Reaching Hari Darshan In Kumharwada In Nathdwara

As the taxi and the personnel who was polite enough navigated through different set of challenges my thoughts were on milk and black tea and whether access to the same would be the winning game? I was in Hari Darshan Lodge in Kumharwada in Nathdwara a little before 10.30. As you enter precincts of Nathdwara there is a huge Lord Shiva Statue in a sitting mode and no one can take eyes away from this for even those coming with enough carload. Hari Darshan over the years had ventured out to open a dinning hall and meals from here came handy with less and less number of people placing thoughts on Bay Of Fundy. A word of praise for Hotel Personnel, Mr Durdesh, Mr Shaitaan Sigh and Mr Narayan even though the flush wasn't working and this inviting no irking. As I left the bed a little after 6 AM the next day the search for milk started in the right earnest even if disposable cups did not come in tray. Pure boiled milk was soon to be discovered in proximity to a dairy with word out some had excelled in giving finishing touches to their write ups in different journals and they going by the name Jerry. (Milk from Deepu Tea Centre (Deepu Tea Stall) in Nalla Bazar in Ajmer was finest to say the least). (Prayers offered in Ajmer Dargah (Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah ) (Shrine) were equally good).  Morning hours were spent in chasing train ticket to Jaipur where some take guided tour. 

Visiting Lord Shreenathji Temple; A Word Of Praise For Temple Administration

Had the opportunity to visit Lord Shreenathji Temple after 9. Did one more round after 12 PM with security staff in black attire and word of appreciation for their sire. Temple Administration of Lord Shreenathji Temple had all worked out on how to handle the rush and there was no pressing need to adjust. A little later took Gujarati Thali from Vijay Dinning Hall with staff eager to know the Thali Mix I would have with little oil and little spice and here some tourists may come in future who have all experienced Switzerland's Spring Bise.

Leave Nathdwara; Mehngai Rahat Camp Of State Govt

As I was all about to leave Nathdwara around 1 PM came across Mehngai Rahat Camp (Price Rise Relief Camp) Ad of Rajasthan Govt as inflation across country was a real issue and this was out and out true. Those being denied Family Pension of Rs 12,500 a month and this paltry sum put them at a disadvantage against Middle Level Army officers who were drawing pension of over Rs 2,00,000 a month and this favouritism would be disapproved even in Italian City Trent. It was automan Mr Lal Singh who took me to Mavli where I reached after 2 PM. Repeated announcements were being made for train coming from Udaipur (Udaipur Is In Rajasthan State In India) and going all the way to Jammu Tawi (Jammu Tawi Is In Jammu And Kashmir In India). Board Train Number 09722 well after 3.45 with no hesitation to admit none of the passengers were carrying knife. In Ajmer and Nathdwara the stay in lodges was short and plans to recite Hanuman Chalisa (Praise In Lord Hanuman) did not come through and hope to do so in these places in future when green surroundings the world would nurture. 

Train From Mavli To Jaipur

The train from Mavli to Jaipur had all set of passengers some well mannered and some ill mannered. I was on seat number 17. Right behind my seat on seat number 12 there was a gentleman who was divulging the art of conversation laced with filthy abuse and for the next two hours he plainly did that and when I stood up to look at him he stopped sort of carrying the abuse filled dialogue and this showed him to be a spoiled brat. When would Central Govt rein in on such elements no one knows. There was another obese woman snacking all the time and with same fingers attending to mobile and snacking showed her to be a potato chips giant. There were others taking orders on tiles to be fixed once they reached Jaipur and this is one city where none of the land raises game named moor. The train reached Jaipur at 10.20 PM and I checked in C.B. Palace Hotel in Station Road opposite polovictory cinema hall which shouldn't be witness to any brawl. Staff members going by the names Mr Shankar, Mr Govind and Mr Rajesh were helpful who may have had travelers in the past familiar with benefits of gruel. From Shreenathji Tea Centre personnel going by the names Mr Ranjeet Singh Chand and Mr Bhim Singh were kind enough to give milk and black tea and they radiated sentiments that was out and out glee.  

Appreciation For Suprabath Towers

A word of praise for SUPRABATH TOWERS opposite TTD SRINIVASAM in Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh State In India and here staff members My Jay Chandra Reddy and Mr Ramanna were good when I was in Andhra and with large number of devotees coming to their lodge they may often brood. An old woman in cleaning staff whom I used to give bananas was simple. Forty Eighth (48th) Chief Justice of India Mr Venkata Ramana was right in observing that best thing to happen in Tirumala was Sarva Darshan had started. WE WISH WELL FOR TIRUMALA. 

CNA Leadership Summit

We hope CNA (Channel News Asia) Leadership Summit on July 27 would have been a success. China is giving visa free invite to residents of Singapore for the next 15 days and this is a welcome move and enquiries have seen a raise of over 400 per cent and most can pitch their tents. In CBD (Central Business District) the temperatures rose to 36 deg C and in leafy regions it is below 28 which most agree. Singapore may have set of challenges and hope CNA would highlight them as and when they come. We are bothered by wildfires in Greece and hope it abates and those logging air travel footprints across world should exercise restraint and air travel be lull.  We pray for WORLD and we crave for PEACE even for those who speak Ethiopian Church language GEEZ.
