82nd unidentified member of the Indian Contingent in London

An unknown woman supposedly pushed along the Indian marching contingent in the London 2012 opening ceremony by the organizing committee seemed to be hogging all the limelight in the march past at the Olympic stadium

It raised some serious questions on whether the women in red and blue gate crashed into the party or was this a security breach; only the organizers can tell.

Fact is this mystery woman was like a sore thumb amidst the sea of Golden and Navy blue attire that Indian team adorned.

Unknown woman with sushil kumar in Olympics

She is in all the pictures and not our lovely ladies in yellow sarees!
Identified as "Madhura Nagendra" now says sorry

India's Sone ki Chidiya has changed!



Jaha daal daal par Sone ki Chidiya 


From film SIKANDER-E-AZAM 1965 

 
Bharat Mata ki jai..  Sone ki Chidiya


From film SHANGHAI 2012


Do we now take pride in our rich historic past or has the patriotism died down. 
Films are said to be a mirror of the generally prevailing sentiments and mood in the country

pag pag lagataa deraa"
Yeh Bharat Desh hai Mera!!

ददरी के मेला




- Posted by kaushikey

फ़रहर डेगर गर , चल चले के सरसर ।
मेला ददरी जायेके , गंगाजी नहायेके ,
मुंह हाथ धोई के पानी मे समाये के ,
देहि करी थरथर ,
... धोती करी फ़रफ़र , चल चले के सर सर ।
बैल जाई बेचे के , लीटी परी सेंके के ,
सातू खा के गप - गप , मुरई चबाये के ,
मुरई करी कर कर ,
लोर गिरी भर भर , चल चले के सर सर
मुंह ला के बानर के , लोग के डेरावे के ,
चरखी ले हाथ मे , ठाट से उड़ावे के ,
चरखी करे चर चर ,
धक्का देके दर दर , चल चले के सर सर ।
सरकस होई खेला , लागल रही मेला ,
टाटी फ़ार के घूसे के , चलत रही ढेला ,
ढेला गिरी भर भर ।
कही केहू धर धर , भाग चले के सर सर ।
