| 5th August 2009 Bajaj | Thank you for the Revisit. - From: Manimahesh: The Abode of Lord Shiva I went there in 1987 or 88. Started alone from home and joined the Yatra. Joined thousands of people. Stayed a night at each location. Hot food and accommodation at the Langars. There was no pucca road to Hadsar. Only jeeps could go. Your description and photos have brought back many memories. Thanks very much. @ Mr. Waraich, Ponies were available then. Should be available now. If you don't have high altitude problems, no reason why you can not go. Jai Bhole Shankar! |

| 2nd March 2008 Jon | Great Photos - From: Back to the Forests of Rajasthan: Sariska and Bharatpur The pics of Kankwari are superb, took me back to one of the greatest days of my life when we too had the whole place to ourselves to explore. Thanks so much for stirring some wonderful memories. From Jon in a cold, rainy UK. :-) |
| 1st March 2008 Himanshu Pant | Journey back in time - From: Back to the Forests of Rajasthan: Sariska and Bharatpur Felt like i was back in the journey, well chronicled travelogue, i remembered the part where i thought the loud noise coming from behind my back was a fight going on in the street, one thing which was missing was the night trip back, the conversations ( heated ones ) in the dhaba and the rock exp later. though some parts are best left unsaid but some parts shd bring out the you for a person who does not know. keep up the good work, n lets have one more trip soon :) |
| 28th January 2008 Maya | Great Skiing - From: Skiing for Dummies Hey Prad, the 2 skiing days were really fun..and ur blog even more! To reassure all the other skiing dummies..he was really good after 2 days, check the video :)! But the Lutz helps a lot...ask Bode Miller! He must be of swiss origin :P |
| 19th June 2007 Pyne | Bangla borgi-r Maratha bijoy - sadhu! - From: To the Center of Maratha Glory Great going - charaeibeti! The crown jewel of my own ventures in Sahayadri has been a wonderful trek to the summit of Sinhagad exactly a decade ago - the awe-inspiring secenes are indelible. Haven't been to Pratapgad though... lucky you. Yes, the fort legends are indeed "de la grande mephistopheles". Although I am not sure how good a warrior is w/o an arm and a foot (i.e. if it matters greatly which arm/foot one loses) and cannot judge Sivaji's "prowess of thinking" at that, but surely the famous 'ghorpad' saga of Tanaji's pet monitor lizard Yeshwanti carrying a rope tied around its shoulder up the steepest wall (Ghorpad Wall) of the unreachable Sinhagad is absolutely fabulous stuff. Another reason why Sinhagad moved me so was Satyendranath Datta's (?) dramatic (Bangla) poem 'Singhagad' that I read as a child: it ends with Sivaji's informing his mother, “We won the fort, but lost the lion”. Keep travelling... P.S. Not Pratapgad fort/Sinhagad fort, just Pratap-gad/Sinha-gad. |
| 17th June 2007 Dipti | Next Time - From: To the Center of Maratha Glory With Shivaji getting released this friday..this is a post right on time. And a great post indeed. I liked those stories: took me back at those Sadashiv-Shivaji stories at 4th part of Sharadindu Omnibas. The pics were also great...next time I'll be with you. |
| 6th June 2007 Pyne | Duronto o jompesh, De-da! - From: Ranthambore: Marriage of Nature and Legends of Rajasthan A phoron for spicier tadka: Forts and forests especially come alive with tales and legends - why not stitch (perhaps set the beginning in) "stories of the glorious past, the battles between Rana Humvir and Allauddin Khilji, the secret tunnels under the Shiv-ling, the sacrifices of the queens" seamlessly into your narrative - weave in-and-out of the reality and the 'nisarga' to maximize 'wonder' quotient... A condiment for topping: an olive cap and a pair of binoculars would make 16-kala purno. |
| 5th June 2007 Pyne | I envy your good fortunes... - From: A Holy-day Outing to Haridwar I went to Hardwar (Gateway to Shiva) as a kid and was transfixed - even as a kid - by the deep religiosity that engulfs one, especially if one grows up in a secular township. In wonderful contrast, the townships in and around Hardwar (a district) - such as Kankhal ("Daksha-yajna") or Jwalapur (fab giant white radishes) - seemed fascinatingly ancient. The sarovar at Sapt Rshi ashram (or, the ashram at Sapt Sarovar) and the amazing diyas at Hari-ki-pairi (Vishnu's footprint) are unforgettable. The sites of Daksha Mahadev and Kapila (who went down to Bengal) were stuff my childhood legends were made of. My immense gratitude for rekindling some fabulous memories while working, at the moment, in a cold modern lab. Keep travel-blogging, pathik, yours is an excellent start. With Hari-hara's joint blessings that you go on, 'pratyavayo na vidyate'... |
| 4th June 2007 priya | virgin beauty - From: Ranthambore: Marriage of Nature and Legends of Rajasthan Spellbound! Liked all the pics,specially forest panorama,fort,jhumri bawri.description is very good.I have no such word to describe the beauty of Ranathambore.You did so great! Wish...... had i been there! Thanks prad. |
| 4th June 2007 priya | awesome - From: A Holy-day Outing to Haridwar The pic of the sunset at Hrishikesh.....................awesome Narration is also really very nice.Where did you lost in thoughts,Prad? The holy start of the year.........cool. |
| 26th April 2007 anuradha | - From: Ranthambore: Marriage of Nature and Legends of Rajasthan The narration is good..rather great...but some some glitches as a critic r visible to me...its upto you if you want to overlook it...well a critic will always remain a critic...lol... 1. The pictures are good but the images of Hotel Jhumar Bawri, forest panorama from fort are not giving the feel of the place you are discribing, maybe the brightness or some focus point needs to be more visible or prominent. 2. If you had used your d80_ranthambore_safari2_054 image for the leopard...it would have been fabulous treat to watch. 3. In the text you make the person reading it part of the experience, especially when you mention 'us' but when you mention a number that is 5 of you have gone for the trip....those people needs a mention as well...to give it a personal touch... rest i find it great... |
| 26th April 2007 Himanshu Pant | Critique - From: Ranthambore: Marriage of Nature and Legends of Rajasthan Hi Prad, I will try to write my candid comments here, though telling you in person will be much more easier. The piece covered the whole of journey, without giving too much emphasis on any one part, which was good. It was enjoyable. But knowing you, I expected some of the deep thoughts of your personality to be reflecting in day to day events of this trip, what I mean is it looked like a group's travellogue more than your individual travellogue. I might be wrong, and we can discuss this any of the time we keep on meeting. Keep writing, I get a motivation to start soon too. |
| 23rd April 2007 M | Great! - From: Ranthambore: Marriage of Nature and Legends of Rajasthan Looks like dream place! Good narration... |
