More than gold : The spiritual power of Golden Temple.

Image
“ Where faith shines , brighter than gold. ”We planned a two-day trip to Amritsar and stayed for two nights and one day at Saragadhi Saraay, near the Golden Temple. At night, we visited the Golden Temple to experience its night view. It looked absolutely mesmerizing, and its reflection in the Sarovar truly stole my heart ❤️. “ Here humanity is served before anything else.” We had darshan at night, and early the next morning we attended Shabad Kirtan and took Langar Prasad. The vibes were extremely pure and spiritual. People there were very calm, kind, and humble. The arrangements for devotees were well-managed, disciplined, and thoughtful. “ No names no status only souls   in prayer.” In the langar, we had rice, parshad, and tandoori dal. Sitting on the floor touched my heart deeply because everyone—rich or poor, young or old, from any caste—sat together and shared the same Prasad. This beautiful equality made the experience even more meaningful. The Shabad and Kirtan filled my h...

तुम कहो और मैं सुनती रहूँ, ये है मजबूरी मेरी , मैं कहु और तुम सुनो  ये ही तो कम करता है  हमारे बीच की दूरी । स्त्री को क्या चाहिए? कोई सुनने वाला  सुनाने का हक है तुम्हें, तो सुनने का हक किसे  दूँ बताओ जरा???          - ✍️पूनम ✍️✍️

Review

Image
Yesterday, I watched the movie Dhurandhar, and I was truly shocked to learn some hidden facts related to Indian currency and the behavior of Pakistanis towards Bharatiyas. Overall, it is a perfect movie with soulful songs and brilliant direction. The performances of each and every actor were commendable, especially Ranveer Singh and Akshay Khanna, who delivered outstanding performances. From an entertainment point of view, the movie feels authentic, classic, and deeply engaging. What makes this film even more powerful is the fact that it is based on a real story and is connected to the 26/11 Mumbai blasts. After a very long time, we have witnessed a movie of this genre that perfectly balances action, love, entertainment, and patriotism—all in equal measure. The film also introduces viewers to political strategies and covert tactics, which are portrayed in a very interesting and gripping manner. The story mainly focuses on the character Hamza, played by Ranveer Singh, who is an Indian s...

प्यार

  प्यार तुम पर रीझता है। प्यार तुम्हें सींचता है । प्यार ही सहनशक्ति है । प्यार एक मस्ती है । प्यार एक ठहराव है । प्यार  संबंधों में झुकाव है । प्यार एक संजीवनी है । प्यार की ही भाषा तो सीखनी है । प्यार तुम्हारी तस्वीर है । प्यार ही तो जंजीर है ।      -✍️ पूनम ✍️✍️

My Kashmir shopping experience

Image
This time from Srinagar and across Kashmir, I brought back so many wonderful things—especially dry fruits like walnuts and almonds. The Kashmiri embroidery suits I bought from the Najaakat shop were truly exquisite. I also picked up Kashmiri Kahwa for the winter, and its taste is absolutely amazing. For myself and my daughter, I bought four Kirti and kaftaans in soft cotton. In fruits, I got two cartons of fresh red cherries at a very reasonable price. One of my most special memories is the stole I bought from a little child in a small village near the lidder River. The walnut fudge was incredibly tempting too! But more than the things I purchased, it’s the unforgettable moments—the hills and valleys, the fruits, the cool breeze, and the warm, sweet people of Kashmir—that touched my heart. I feel as if the valleys of Kashmir will call me back again someday.  If you love to read my blogs then share it as you can and follow for more interesting articles.

बिखेरनी है ख़ुशबू मुझे  भी यहाँ  कि मैं  कोई गुलाब से कम नहीं । अंदाज़े बयान करने है नज़्म से  अभी, कि मैं कोई आफ़ताब से कम नहीं ।।             -✍️पूनम ✍️✍️

दिल से

चलो कुछ लम्हे चुराते हैं, अपना दिल तुम्हें दिखाते हैं। अपने हाल पर मुस्कुराते हैं । कुछ पल सुकून के साथ बिताते हैं। और ताज़ा हो जाते हैं । चलो कुछ लम्हे चुराते हैं ।       -  ✍️पूनम ✍️✍️

काजल

  तुम्हारा  काजल दर्शाता है, कि जीवन में तुमने कितनी ही  सीमाएं बना रखी है और उन्हें पार  करने के लिए तुम परवश हो जाती हो । तुम्हारे मस्तक की बिंदी तुम्हारी भावनाओ  और मस्तिष्क के संतुलन को  दिखाती है । तुम्हारा नज़रो से नज़र मिलाकर  बालों को सँवारना तुम्हारे आत्मविश्वास की  पहचान है।तुम बाहर से जितनी सख़्त हो उतनी  भीतर से नर्म भी  तुम्हारे संघर्ष की व्यथा कोई क्या जाने?? तुम एक सत्य हो ना कि कोई भ्रम । तुम्हारे अवसाद तुम्हारे प्रयासरत होने  को दर्शाते हैं गर्मी की धूप में तुम  रूहफ़ज़ा का शरबत हो !! कभी व्यर्थ ही सोचती हूँ कि ये सब जो  हो रहा है क्या काफ़ी है? मेरे प्रयास मेरे अंदाज़ ,मेरा  पागलपन, मेरा एकांत,मेरा स्वाध्याय, मेरे सपने ,मेरी व्यथा और मेरी प्यास, मेरा विश्वास? मेरी हर एक  सांस जिसका मूल्य लगाना असंभव है ।।            -✍️पूनम✍️✍️ Happy karwachauth ladies!!
