Where are you planning to go this winter?


Vacation is nearby and you may be thinking of a tour. You may want to travel beautiful tourist places. However, it is very difficult to plan a tour this year. The entire globe is facing economic meltdown following American recession. All Tom Dick and Harry are in problem with their mortgage, cash and credit. You may have a fear of unemployment or job loss. In this particular situation, it is very difficult to plan a tour of your dream place. I can give you a tip that may help you to find, discover, travel a beautiful place. You will surely love my idea.

Normally we plan a distant trip of our choice. Americans plan for a trip to European or Asian countries. English thinks of a tour to Africa or Canada. Japanese go out for Australia, France or US. An Indian may like a trip to California, Geneva or Mauritius. We generally think of a tour to foreign countries. Some times we plan for a distant place in our own country too.

However, all are difficult this season. You have to pay a lot for airfare, train or bus ticket. In addition, of course, there are bills of hotel, food, shopping and what not. This may be a never-ending list of payments. You have been managing all these since many years but what about today? Your credit card may not support this year!

So what to do? Are you thinking of canceling your trip? Do you like to suppress your emotions? Do you want to say sorry to your children? The situation this year suggests that.

Disgusted?

How to be hopeful during this tough time?

Is there any way to make a trip very very cheap? Can you plan an economic tour that does not require an air ticket or booking a cruise? A trip that is well within the means of your pocket yet enjoyable.

Yes, you can do this. I have a unique idea for you.

Think of a place near by. There may be a beautiful place in your near vicinity that is a tourist place. A spot where many foreigners are coming to witness its beauty! There may be a place that has found its place in world’s tourist map. It is quite possible that you have not gone to that place. You may have ignored it. This happens with every one.

Take an enjoyable yet economic tour


Let me disclose a personal secret. Hawamahal is a monument in Jaipur. It is an icon of Jaipur city. Many times Jaipur is symbolized with Hawamahal. Millions of tourists have been coming here to witness the beautiful architecture of the palace. It is just half a mile away from my residence and I have never been there! I have passed by the monument thousands of times but never been inside.

Surprising! But true.

(I have posted some videos about Jaipur. There are links to articles above. Some are in the link section. I added all these to give an idea about Jaipur, the Pink city. Jaipur is also known as Emerald city and Paris of India. View the videos and hubs and  enjoy!)

You may choose Jaipur as your destination.

This is the right time to make a trip there in your near viscinity. You may discover that it is too beatifull to ignore. You may be astonished with your idea. You may think why were you not there so far.

It is better to think of the same right now. Go there and sit under a huge tree. Enjoy a stream of river small yet beautiful or a colorful flower that you have ignored so far. Just watch a hillock that needs your attention. You have ignored it because of the Himalayas, Alps or Mt. Fuzi. Go to a temple, church or mosque nearby that is so peaceful. You may rediscover charming birds, jumping kangaroos, playing kids of deer or velvet grass.

Over all cost of the trip will be negligible. You need not an air ticket. There will be no airport tax or visa fee. You will save a lot on train or bus fares. You need not to book a cruise. You may take home cooked food to avoid some extra expenses. A trip to near by destination will also help you saving a lot in shopping.

What are you thinking now? Get ready to take the tour and enjoy this winter.

Dear Jyoti,

Wonderful idea. We normally forget the near and dear. We forget the fragrance of a flower near by.

You have hit the nails on its head.

I will certainly love to visit some areas in near vicinity and re-discover beauty of the place.

Thanks for a fascinating article.

Well from Perth it would have been cheaper to fly to Asia for the holidays - instead we are taking the expensive option and drviing to Adeliade and returning on the train - the train fares (2 adults + car) is more than return return fares to KL!

Interesting thoughts, Jyoti, however, my traveling is limited to how far my feet or bicycle can carry me! I do drive to the nearest town once a week to buy a few groceries, but that's about it! Still, for those who can go somewhere - good advice! :)

    • Discussion on Dasahara and Vijaya Dasami in Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch, Jaipur

       Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch, Jaipur organized a discussion on Dasahara and Vijaya Dasami today on the eve of the said festival. It is worth noted that Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch has been organizing weekly discussions on various topics since 1983. They organize it every Sunday. Late Girdharilal Bhargav, MP, Jaipur and Late Dr. Ujala Arora, Minister, Rajasthan were the founder of this Manch. Darshan Kothari, Chief speaker of the program told that Dasahara and Vijaya Dasami are one of the main festivals of Hindu Communities. Dasahara is a Kshatriya festival according to Hinduism. Rakhi is for Brahmins, Diwali for Vaisya and Holi for Shudra communities. These classifications are according to work distributions. All four sects celebrate and enjoy all four festivals. However, the nature of these festivals are liable for such classification. Kshatriya community worship their arms and weapons on the eve of Dasahara. Rajasthan is the land of brave Rajputs. Hence, Dasahara has a great importance for them. It is Vijaya Dasami in West Bengal. Bengali community enjoys "Kolakoli" in this day. Vijaya Dasami comes just after Durga Puja, the greatest festival of Bengal. Lord Rama (Ram) conquered Ravan (Demon King) on this day. Tejkaran Parashar told that Dasahara is the establishment day of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a great volunteer organization of India. Advocate Pradip Chouhan extended vote of thanks to the audience.

    • Remembering Girdharilal Bhargava

      Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch remembered late Girdharilal Bhargava, their founder convener on Sunday, March 7, 2010 on his first death anniversary. Vaidya Harimohan Sharma, his childhood friend remembered him as chief speaker. He told that both he and Girdharilal Bhargava were closely associated in RSS. He remembered gradual uplift of Girdharilal Bhargava. He told that he had never thought that his friend would reach such height. He has witnessed him from an ordinary person to a councilor and then to member of legislative assembly and finally the member of parliament. He added that Mr. Bhargava remained as simple as he was till his last day. Vishwanath Agrawal, another close associate remembered how laborious he was. He informed that Mr. Bhargava was not only popular and a life long worker but also a vigorous reader. Mr. Bhargava used to study till late night preparing for his questions in the assembly and the parliament later on. Tejkaran Parashar, another associate told that he used to type letters and News of Mr. Bhargava. Mr. Bhargava had been replying letters to all. He also sent letters for all condolence meetings in Jaipur. Pradip Chouhan, Advocate, had worked with him for a long time in his election campaigns. He remembered how Brigadier Bhawani Singh, former Maharaja of Jaipur had come to meet him just after his defeat in MP election. Girdharilal Bhargava defeated Maharaja Bhawani Singh in his first election fought for Jaipur Parliamentary seat. Jyoti Kothari told that he had never met Mahatma Gandhi but  Mr. Bhargava was resembling him. He was simple and remained simple life long. He also told that it is difficult to have another politician like him. He was remembering his days with Mr. Bhargava. Mr. Manchand Khandela, told in his presidential address that he had respected Mr. Bhargava life long despite political rivalry. He told that he opposed Mr. Bhargava many times for political reasons but Mr. Bhargava remained cool. He added that Mr. Bhargava always heartily met and invited him. he was a true saint detached with all cravings and aversions. The meeting was started with garlanding on the photographs of Mr. Girdharilal bhargava and ended with observing two minutes' silence to pay homage to the heavenly soul.
