About My place Kumaon

Snow clad peaks , Loads of flowers , fruit orchards , picturesque grass fields ,breathtaking panoramic and wonderfull view of wild life , Dancing rivers ,clueless water sources and hard working women they all indicates to one region that is also termed as "Abode of Gods" (Dev-Bhumi) and better known as Kumaon .Kumaon is a beautiful region in the newly formed state Utteranchal . It is in the northern side of Utterpradesh . Utteranchal consists of two main regions ,they are Garwal and Kumaon . Both the regions are culture-wise similar . Kumaon is derived from "Kurmanchal" which meanes Land of the Kurmavtar (the tortoise incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Preserver of Mankind as per hindu religion ).Kumaon consists of six Districts Almora, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, Champawat and Udhamsingh Nagar. .Kumaon is situated in Central Himalayas .Himalaya in the north , "Kali" river in east , Garwal in the west and Plain area in south make the typial boundry of this region. This region was mainly ruled by The Katyuri and Chand dynasties . They also construct different temples in this region.Some of them are very famous and attracts lot of tourists. The early medieval history of Kumaon, is the history of the Katyuri dynasty. The Katyuri kings ruled from the 7th to the 11th century . Their kingdom was over large areas of Kumaon, Garhwal and western Nepal. The town of Baijnath near Almora was the capital of this dynasty and a center of the arts. They have started architectural innovation and build lot of temples in which they have used heavy stones .One of the best example is Katarmal .On a hilltop facing east, opposite Almora, is the temple of Katarmal. This 900 year old sun temple was built during the declining years of the Katyuri dynasty.
After Katyuri kings ,the Chands of Pithoragarh became the dominant dynasty. The magnificient temple complex at Jageshwar with it's cluster of a hundred and sixty four temples, was built by the Chand rulers over a space of two centuries. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The lower Kumaon hills have a large number of tals or lakes. Nainital is of course famous, more so nowadays as a vivid example of environmental degradation. Others like Bhimtal and Sattal are in much better shape due to the absence of a major town on their periphery.
Kumaon is, or rather was, classic tiger country. Now-a-days most of Kumaon's remaining Tigers are resident in the Jim Corbett National Park, India's first National Park situated in the lower Kumaon hills (Near Ramnagar) . Jim Corbete with whom this national park shares its name was the famous tiger hunter and he described all about kumauni tigers in his book "The man eaters of kumaon" . The loss of tigers and scarcity of them shows the disruption in the natural order due to rising human and cattle population .

My thoughts....................

I m sitting alone in this dark close room, having nothing to work on, i guess this is the time of bring my and others attention towards making better world.... we all caries the divine thoughts.

When I look around in the world and see all of the shallowness of the society, it makes me want to scream. Everyone appears to be dealing with the unimportant things instead of the important. Sometimes I find myself stopping to think; why as a society are we so stupid? It’s the conversations on the bus about which brand name sneaker is better, and the conversations in the school halls about who’s weave looks nicer, that leads me to be extra grateful for my own thoughts. For all sneakers are made of the same material, and how about getting to class on time instead of gossiping about each other? I sit and think about all the absurd things that I may hear daily and think, “why does it matter?” Why as a society do we neglect education to discuss materialistic things? Why can’t the conversations amongst most teens ever be about something constructive? Instead of sneakers, can’t we discuss an English class? Is that too much to ask? I find myself running into my mind to escape everything around me. Within my mind there’s depth. I think about school, and how to improve my grades. I think about Africa and why it’s essential for me to get an education, so I can elevate myself, and one-day help the starving kids there. I think about the economy and why I’m not going to add on to my probably forty pairs of jeans. I think about love and how even though it hurts, its better to show someone love than hatred. I think about how all my frustration might give me a mental breakdown, but how I must bounce myself back cause I have to stay strong, and be a role model. I think about Dr.Deepak Varshney and how he has proven that there still is a place for the nice guy in the world.
For, I am a young man who wants to be a Geneticist in the future, and I now know that It is not gona to be as easy as it appears. When I think about my thoughts, I see that I want to be a better person, and I work to be a better person, and this satisfies me. I can’ t find much hope in society so I go to my mind for a reason to live, because to me hope is what keeps anyone alive. So when I see that there is still someone capable to care beyond materialistic things, it makes me know that it is okay to live another day, because I can still make things different in the world.
I m having so many great people among me whom have devoted their life for to bring a batter world, to make life with respect...................
Join me bring the life back to track.

The Best Teacher to me.

I was sitting outside the room waiting for the moment to meet Dr. Deepak Varshney, it was the evening time sun was already on the way back to home. He was busy with some serious patient. I was interested to meet Dr. Deepak because I have already heard about him from the ancestors whom have worked earlier to me, that he is the person who is interested in science. He asks a lot of about latest advancements, he reads a lot of journal, he is a active member of A.D.A, He works a lot for Diabetic Patients, he even skips his meal if he is there in some scientific seminars. He most of the time use to spend on his clinic either reading some articles or treating patients, even planning to bring some ideas that may help Diabetic patient to improve the quality of life…. That day I was not able to meet him………I started feeling down, I missed an opportunity to meet a person of mark.
I way backed to Ghaziabad……… Keeping in mind that next meet with Dr. Deepak will really bring more life in the scientific talk. Though all your wish never comes true……the same happened with me, I missed him four more time……….that’s ok …. I continued my efforts to meet him…….. my dream came true that day when he called me on my cell for some meet……. I went there to meet him…… Sure that was the first day I met him face to face…………
Man with true smile……. Confidence in his voice………..Positive thoughts from the ideas…………. Glace in his face, like a moon glow………. Beauty in his eyes………… I was fortunate enough to see a Man of honour, just in front of me….. He was talking to me, but I was not listening to him…….I was in my world of Imagination, the world where I was trying to picture him … he was more then that of even…… even as the clock was moving I was more Influenced with him……….. His dress…….. His Words…….His Cabin……..His attitude……. His confidence……. He was ……. He was I don’t know is there any word to describe his personality………. All of sudden he asked me “is it ok” I said “yes” … why I said yes though I have not listened him..might be because I was getting confidence …& that may be due to he was carrying so much influential environment around him………. Then I for myself asked him……. He again described me the idea he was having..
I was surprised again, when he said “ can u do a favor to me, I want to make this for patients.” I was thinking a man with all power, all support, all surrounded by helping hands is asking as a favor, How down to earth he is……….. That moment I decided I will do , I will certainly do coz if he can take this much pain to bring smile on the face of ill diabetic patient, then why cant I stand with him, We started the plan & implemented on the protocol just like we thought, Most of the time he asked me , whether this is good or this can be done in some other way, he even asked my point of view regarding that & my ideas. That day was full of surprises for me, I was learning more and more about him. It was about 4 afternoon, we were working from early morning 9, I was feeling bit hungry & tired, but he is still energetic then I thought to have some inspiration from him. Now we were talking & I was happy…… now I was feeling recharged he worked as a power station to me just as I have thought. Then all of a sudden he ordered some tea and snacks, the talk was still on we talked that day till 9 pm, believe me I talked to him for 4:30 hour & I was able to see the comfort in his eyes, that he was also interested in that talk…….. & at 10 pm our worked also got completed.. I said good night to him, he replied “ thanks to you, thanks to you Suraj it was you also that made these planning and preparation successful” now these words were sufficient enough to make me on my knees. I carried the memories of that day in my Heart & locked it safely, I went for dinner, My mobile ranged at 11:25pm, it was Dr. Deepak again, he called me to say Good Night, for him these was not just word. He actually wanted to express his care towards me….. now I was on cloud nine.. these words of him made me believe that If you are honest you will always be rewarded.
These were the initial days, I was now more interested to talk with him. Now I was meeting him frequently because I like the way he takes science in practical approach. He was always associated with most of the hospitals, he use to visit there while during operation for to make assure that the patient gets the complete satisfaction, satisfaction that Dr. Deepak is now around him. For me he was turning into a brother.. I have seen his care for me, sorry actually he was same for all, when so ever any one needs a friend he was there….. when so ever one needs confidence he was there.
He is a natural man, he always believed in commitments, time punctuality, hard work, determination, honesty.
This is the time when I was with him in a car, we both were coming from gurgaon after a great scientific lecture. I was not so sleeping I heard some song earler I thought it is F.M, but when I opened my eyed it was him. I woked up he was singing, I asked him can he sing some Mohd. Rafi song, & he singed it, the song was “ Khiza ke Phool me aati kabhi bahar nahi”. My god knows I have never appreciated old songs, I m a hard core Rock listener, but that moment I was really close to music, he was singing like anything. He is good at science & now he proved himself in music also. “ laga chunri me daag mitaoo kaise” become one of my fav song its due to him. Look how influential he is……………………………
He started treating me as his family member, He is the person who had seen in my eyes, coz his experience, his ability to see the future, his way to understood things there importance. Once he said me that you are good at science why don’t u go for Scientist, that time I thought he is expecting me to be in big post. I treated it as light, though I was not underestimating his caliber. He then changed to a teacher to me, most of the time he will ask me questions, for that now he is also studying the books. This is the quality of a man that makes him outstanding among others, how he use to manage the time, it means he is a good time manger. I was now learning the Physis, chemistry, & human physiology................

Rest i will be in coming posts.........................

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;When troubles come and my heart burdened be;Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,Until you come and sit awhile with me.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can be.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can be.There is no life - no life without its hunger;Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;But when you come and I am filled with wonder,Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can be.You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can be.You raise me up... To more than I can be.

He is really more than that.................

The Fact about the Jungle

I wanted this to be somewhat different but i m not getting any clue to begin from, coz this is something that has a new meaning a new all new, from all dimension this is greatest of all my life experiences. I have heard from thousand of mouth and thousand of heart-throbbing deadly stories that will make your mind wash and will lead you to a wrong way.
Yes I m bringing your attention towards the great of all gifts from god The Great Jungles of India.
What is the first reaction that comes into our mind after having this word Jungle………. I Guess it is the Feeling full of shivering, darkness, fear, Tigers, Snakes, Elephant, Bear, Insects, sometimes the fear of losing the life, and sometimes the place where there is no mercy for small living ones. I will tell you the truth; this is all some people made stories, those who have never ever dared to know the secrets behind this, I promise these are some idiotic sentences for to lay down the Beauty living there in the jungle.
I m so confident because I m out in the knowledge of jungles I was there in the core heart of jungle, and not like a tourist but as like the son of Mother Nature. I really felt sorry upon myself and pity also, coz I was among the others who never tried to understand what is really there and why we are always talking negative all about the jungles why we were not looking on to the other side of the coin.
Let me be more descriptive then you may follow new opinion & I request do not follow what I m expressing here, do go and run into the jungle, follow your new trails along the side of the river, then you will get the Other true love of nature, you will be able to understand a place where there is no CAST, CREED, COLOUR, SEX, its for all who are honest.
It was the peak of summer here in Kerala, we by our good efforts got a chance to visit the Mudumalai tiger reserve, for three days. This National park is located in Tamil Nadu. It was a great pleasure of having two great officials with us Mr. SUJEET & Mr. K. RAMACHANDRA, they were very happy from there inside heart. I believe that they were happy because now they will make two more guys to know the hard core facts about the jungle & these two guys if transformed will certainly carry this great message to other and this way the opinion of people about jungle will be motivated and they will surely bring new Future for the wild life and Jungles.
We were going there in between green hills of kerala by the route of Calicut (Koikode), we were supposed to reach there in the Border of Tamil nadu & kerala the place full of green Coconut trees called Vazhikadav. The place we had the lunch coz we were travelling for last 15 hours. Then we had the next bus for the Gudalur, this is the Tamil Nadu. Just 2 hours from Kerala it’s a new place even the Language changed from Malyalam to Tamil but still as it was the near station to kerala the influence was easily noticeable. I was sleeping for last one hour in the bus, as we reached Gudalur it was the cold wind breezes let me to open my eyes. We dropped the bus and hired the taxi to reach the place Thappakakadu. I was not able to blink my eyes as it was so beauty outside in the mountains it was the tree estate, this was the route towards the OOTY, it was like a moment for me not to forget ever in whole life.
We reached the destination there we met a great personality Mr. T. RAMESH, he was there with the jeep, we were again supposed to go ahead the Masanagudi, this is the last station of human interference. After this is the place with no human interference, The Muyaar vally
Though we were travelling for last 18 hour still we were not feeling tiered, for me it was due to that it was almost 4’o clock, and we were in the mid of jungles , no vehicles, only we were there, that was a dense and green jungle though it was not rained from last so many months. We were moving down the vally, it was very great to see the other top hills from this hill, we were supposed to walk almost 12 kilometer , but it was getting dark and we were moving in group. But from the other peoples experience it seems that there is no animal in the jungle, they were so free as they were there in their home. It was first experience for me, I was lost in the beauty of the jungle, while during our walk we were able to see a lot many beautiful creators, like Spotted dear, Sambhar, bison, far from the elephants. They all were free to move were they wanted, I believe they ignored our presence also, coz in jungle there is no law, its all right of freedom for everyone.
From top we were able to see the dense green forests just beside the river of Muyaar vally. It was like a green line dividing the land into two
In jungle it never darks like in local we see, but its like switching off mechanism, all of a sudden it was dark, we were now following Mr. T .RAMESH he was having a Torch, it was silent all around, dense but beautiful dark. We were following like cub to their mother. Slowly moon was back to his duty and now florescence of its was all around, river was singing the opera for us, and tree were playing the instrument.
We reached there in mid of the great jungle, there was a small not so built room only one room, no electricity. I was looking all the peak of the mountains coz they were only visible to us. All around songs by the homely animals. As like they were greeting us.
We went again in the bank of the river to have water for the night, I was not expecting any food there but they carried some cooked food with them, it was like a dinner where all we were talking, talking all about the jungle. The foremost interesting discussion was about the tiger, that day I realized how great animal it is, a lot of books were published about tiger and making them as really the king of the jungle. Its his greatness, he is very calm, and polite animal. He carries all greatness that a king is having. Then for the night we were planning to sleep outside in the outskirt of the so called room, first I was afraid then I even gained confidence and I made decision to sleep outside.

The moon was very different there in mid of jungle, I was thinking this moon also carries a lot of appearances according to the place, Rama , Ramesh & Sujeet have described me a lot about the jungle, I believe there are less word of beauty to describe the greatness of jungle, its like its natural. There is no maintenance in jungle its cyclic growth of every one.
The jungles are actually the place for the king & its followers. This was my one of the best trip.
I don’t know how come three days went, for me it was single day there. I was familiar with the Wind, trees, river, grasses, and those beautiful creators. I was not interested to come back, but as the schedule was there we were supposed to leave, we climbed a straight steep mountain almost 5 kilometers, its like vertical, we were having hault every 500ms. But we were supposed to move faster to reach our camp and vehicle, we did it, and we have done it in 2 hour. I was still not feeling tiered because I hope these trails are also been followed by tigers, Chhetah, Elephants & so many others, so it was a matter for to proud.
We were back to vehicle, this day we travelled almost 14 kilometers. The day was again moving towards other way, it was dark slowly and the all of a sudden,………..we were moving far away from these beautiful land, the land made by almighty god in relaxed hours.

I followed other jungles , almost 10 of them and my interest is now not stoppable, I want you to go there it does not require daring all it requires to Go there.
The kerala state is full of these greatness of Natural beauty, its green all over kerala, wind is moving all around the crest & trough of the hills, sea, wild life centuries.

Some time sit in my loneliness & use to talk to my self that if life brings some opportunity to settle over here in kerala, then I promise you all I will never leave this place,& even I will continue my dream for getting into the most astonished gifts of god the JUNGLE.
