Vrindavan

 For a long time I wanted to visit Vrindavan and this time when I came to Lucknow I made it final. We went for a 3 day trip. Now from Lucknow to Agra there is an express highway, totally unimaginable earlier.. one can travel at 100 km/ hour very comfortably. We started around 7.30 and reached there around 12.30. We had booked a hotel very near to temples as we can’t walk too much.

There food and merchandise of Radha Krishna is everywhere.. and everything is so beautiful.

In the evening we went to have darshan  of Bankey Bihari ji and it was so crowded and devotees love was really inspiring. And then to Radha Ballabh temple.

Next day we went to Radha Raman temple.. Holi in Vrindavan has special importance, people come from everywhere to play with Krishan. 

If one goes as a tourist there are many more places to see like Nidhivan, Prem Mandir, Gokul and devotees do Parikrama of Govardhan,.

All in all a very fulfilling trip.

Aamhi doghi

 Another gem of a Marathi movie on Amazon prime.

It’s about a girl who loses are mother and father is very busy and successful lawyer and they live in a big house but she practically grows up with servants only. She is fiercely independent , beautiful and tops her class. Father brings a young lady in the house as her mother and the girl is not happy though the lady is sweet and meek and she slowly accepts her, but she goes it to Mumbai , studies and work there never to see her father again and suddenly one day her step mother comes to her telling that her father die and now they are two only for each other and tells her full story how her father helped her, it wasn’t marriage in physical sense but just to help a homeless poor girl as she has a fatal disease. And then they become very close to each other and enjoy till that young lady dies.

It’s a beautiful story and told in such a poetic way.. very simple people with normal life , I just loved it.
