Somnath Temple

The Somnath Temple (Gujarati:સોમનાથ મંદિર) located in the Prabhas Kshetra near Veraval in Saurashtra, on the western coast of Gujarat, India, is the most sacred of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines of the God Shiva. Somnath means "The Protector of (the) Moon God". The Somnath Temple is known as "the Shrine Eternal", having been destroyed six times and rebuilt six times. Most recently it was rebuilt in November 1947, when Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel visited the area for the integration of Junagadh and mooted a plan for restoration. After Patel’s death, the rebuilding continued under K. M. Munshi, another minister of the Government of India.

Gir Forest

The Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary (also known as Sasan-Gir and गिर वन) is a forest and wildlife sanctuary in Gujarat, India. Established in 1965, with a total area of 1412 km² (about 258 km² for the fully protected area (the National Park) and 1153 km² for the Sanctuary), the park is located 65 km to the south-east of Junagadh.

It is the sole home of the pure Asiatic Lions (Panthera leo persica) and is considered to be one of the most important protected areas in Asia due to its supported species. The ecosystem of Gir, with its diverse flora and fauna, is protected as a result of the efforts of the Government forest department, wildlife activists and NGOs. The forest area of Gir and its lions were declared as "protected" in the early 1900s by the then Nawab of the princely state of Junagadh. This initiative assisted in the conservation of the lions whose population had plummeted to only 15 through slaughter for trophy hunting.

Kutch

Kutch district (also spelled as Kutch or Kachchh) (Gujarati: કચ્છ જિલ્લો, Sindhi: ڪڇ ضلو) is a formerly-independent district of Gujarat state in western India. Covering an area of 45,612 km², it is the largest district of India.

Kachchh literally means something which intermittently becomes wet and dry; a large part of this district is known as Rann of Kachchh which is shallow wetland which submerges in water during the rainy season and becomes dry during other seasons. The same word is also used in the languages of Sanskrit origin for a tortoise and garments to be worn while having a bath. The Rann is famous for its marshy salt flats which become snow white after the shallow water dries up each season before the monsoon rains. [Read more]

Review for www.indiafloristnetwork.com

Alpesh Mansata — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:11:18 +0000

I have used the website service a month back this year. I wanted to send flowers to my wife immediately (within 2-3 hours) so I searched Google for the best website who can help me out for this and bingo, I landed up at indiafloristnetwork.com and with the contact details available on their site, I got in touch with one of their representative and briefed her about urgency and wanted a favour to do it as quick as possible.

I still remember the words "Don’t worry sir, it will be done…". She asked me to call in 10 minutes so that she can confirm that it will be delivered within the time limit she is committing. (as it was Sunday, 14th February – I can very well guess that the rush was high and these guys are even working on that day to support – great job guys). After 10 minutes, I called them up and they said, please go ahead with the order sir, it will be done. I did a quick online payment and voila, within approximately 2 hours a call from my wife, hubby…I have your flowers…. (Damn, that was the moment)….

So here I take the opportunity to thank the indiafloristnetwork.com guys that they have made my day and I recommend their services.

How True??

Alpesh Mansata — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:44:05 +0000

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the Air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

Song Lyrics
=========

Bhijalelya kshananna aathavaneechee fodani,
haladeesathee aasurlele halve man aani kantee
aayushya he chulivarlya, kadhaeetale, kandepohe

Naatyanchya hya bajaratun vikretyanchi dati,
aani mhane to varacha julavi shatjanmachya gathee,
roj natave roj sajaave dharun aasha khotee,
pane mitunee lajalupari punha ughadyasathee,
aayushya he chulivarlya, kadhaeetale, kandepohe

Durdeshichya rajkumarachi swapne pahatanna,
kunitari yaave haluch magun dhyaneemanee nasatanna,
nakalat aapan haravoon jave swatas mag japtanna
aayushya he chulivarlya, kadhaeetale, kandepohe

Bhutakalchya dhun akshada tandul kele jyanee,
aani sajavala khota rukhawat bhadyachya bhandyani,
bhavishya aata rangavanyacha attahasahi tyancha
hatavarchya mehndivar otun limbache panee
aayushya he chulivarlya, kadhaeetale, kandepohe

બૉસ, આ ગુજરાત છે ! – રોહિત શાહ

Alpesh Mansata — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 05:32:32 +0000

અહીં પ્રેમ કેરો સાદ છે
પ્રભુજીનો પ્રસાદ છે
ને પ્રકૃતિનો વરસાદ છે !
બૉસ, આ ગુજરાત છે !

અહીં નર્મદાનાં નીર છે
માખણ અને પનીર છે
ને ઊજળું તકદીર છે !
યસ, આ ગુજરાત છે !

અહીં ગરબા-રાસ છે
વળી જ્ઞાનનો ઉજાસ છે
ને સોનેરી પરભાત છે
અલ્યા, આ ગુજરાત છે !

અહીં ભોજનમાં ખીર છે
સંસ્કારમાં ખમીર છે
ને પ્રજા શૂરવીર છે !
કેવું આ ગુજરાત છે !

અહીં વિકાસની વાત છે
સાધુઓની જમાત છે
ને સઘળી નાત-જાત છે
યાર, આ ગુજરાત છે !

અહીં પર્વોનો પ્રાસ છે
તીર્થો તણો પ્રવાસ છે
ને શૌર્યનો સહવાસ છે !
દોસ્ત, આ ગુજરાત છે !
