 होली की सुरीली महफ़िलें    शालिनी जोशी शालिनी जोशी
मसूरी से, बीबीसी हिंदी डॉटकॉम के लिए
        पीढियों से चली आ रही होली गाने की परंपरा अब कुछ सिमटती नज़र आ रही है.
   होली का त्योहार आने में अभी कुछ हफ्ते बाकी हैं लेकिन उत्तराखंड के कुमांऊ मंडल में होली की सुरीली महफ़िलें जमने लगी हैं.
अलमोडा-नैनीताल के इलाकों में होली का मतलब हुडदंग नहीं राग-रागिनियों के सुर हैं.
अगर ब्रज की होली रास-रंग के लिये मशहूर है और बरसाने की लठमार होली प्रसिद्ध है तो इन सबसे अलग कुमांऊ में होली गाने की अनूठी परंपरा है.
बसंत पंचमी के साथ ही घरों में होली की बैठकें आयोजित होने लगती हैं जिसमें लोकगीत,खमाज और ठुमरी शैली में होली के गीत गाए जाते हैं.
साथ ही फागुन महीने की एकादशी के दिन से खड़ी होली का सिलसिला शुरू हो जाता है. घर की बैठक या छत पर हारमोनियम, ढोल, तबले और मंजीरे के साथ लोग बैठ जाते हैं.
 आंचलिक असर   <blockquote> कुछ महफ़िलों में नज़ीर जैसे शायरों के क़लाम भी सुनाई पड़ते हैं- “जब फागुन रंग झमकते हों, तो देख बहारें होली की…''
 </blockquote>   आमतौर पर महिलाएं पारंपरिक वेशभूषा में सज-धजकर आती हैं. अबीर और गुलाल का टीका लगाया जाता है और महफिल जम जाती है.
ऐसे कुछ गीतों में कुमाऊंनी संस्कृति का आंचलिक असर प्रमुखता से दिखता है-
“उडिगो छो अबीर-गुलाल हिमाला डन लाल भयो, केसर रंग की बहार-हिमाला डन लाल भयोया फिर “बांज बुरांश का कुमकुम मारों, डाना कान रंग दे बसंती नारंगी, पार्वती ज्यूं की झिलमिल चादर...”
कुछ महफ़िलों में नज़ीर जैसे शायरों के क़लाम भी सुनाई पड़ते हैं- “जब फागुन रंग झमकते हों, तो देख बहारें होली की……”
ये भी कम दिलचस्प नहीं कि होली की इन बैठकों के शुरू में  इन पंक्तियों के साथ गणेश की स्तुति की जाती है-
“तुम विघ्न हरो महाराज होली के दिन में....”
 होली गायन की परंपरा और जब ये बैठकें खत्म होती हैं तो आर्शीवाद के बोल गाए जाते हैं और उर्दू में लिखी इस ठुमरी के साथ बैठक का समापन होता है- “मुबारक हो मंजरी फूलों भरी, ऐसी होली खेले जनाब अली..... ”
कुमांऊ में होली गायन की परंपरा कब और कैसे शुरू हुई इसका कोई ऐतिहासिक लेखा-जोखा नहीं है.
   <blockquote> ये तो अपने परिवार की बात है जहां हमलोग गा रहे हैं वहां बच्चे सुन रहे हैं लेकिन कई परिवारों ने इसे छोड़ दिया है और नई पीढी का इस ओर रूझान कम ही है.
 </blockquote> आयोजक माया पंत
   जानकार मानते हैं कि इस पर ब्रज और उर्दू का प्रभाव है और मुगलों, राजे-रजवाड़ों के मेल-मिलाप से ये परंपरा बनी. 
ब्रज में गाई जानेवाली मुख्य होली है- ‘’चंद्रबदन खोलो द्वार,  कि हर मनमोहन ठाडे...."
होली गायकी को लोकप्रिय बनाने में नैनीताल के जनकवि स्वर्गीय गिर्दा का महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान रहा. नैनीताल के रंगकर्मी ज़हूर आलम यहां प्रचलित होली के तीन भेद बताते हैं.
 नई पीढ़ी का रूझान वो कहते हैं, “बैठ होली बैठकों में शास्त्रीय ढंग से गाई जाती है, तो खड़ी होली में ढोल-नगाड़ा होता है और पूरा समूह झोंक के साथ नाचता है. महिला होली इन दोनों का मिला-जुला स्वरूप है. उसमें स्वांग भी है, ठुनक-मुनक भी है और गंभीर अभिव्यक्तियां भी हैं.”
लेकिन सबसे ज्यादा जो दिखता है वो है देवर भाभी का मज़ाक. “मेरो रंगीलो देवर घर ऐरों छो, कैं होणी साडी कैं होणी जंफर, मी होणी टीका लैंरो छो, मेरो रंगीलो देवर .....”
हांलाकि पीढियों से चली आ रही होली गाने की परंपरा अब कुछ सिमटती नज़र आ रही है.
होली की बैठकों की आयोजक माया पंत कहती हैं, “ये तो अपने परिवार की बात है जहां हमलोग गा रहे हैं वहां बच्चे सुन रहे हैं लेकिन कई परिवारों ने इसे छोड़ दिया है और नई पीढ़ी का इस ओर रूझान कम ही है.”

TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY

1) Most everyone who simply 'ducks and covers' when building collapse are crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.

2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a bed, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.

3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created. Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.

4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on the back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.

5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.

6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the door jam falls sideways you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!

7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different 'moment of frequency' (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly mutilated. Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

8) Get near the outer walls of buildings or outside of them if possible - It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.

9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.

10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.

Spread the word and save someone's life...

The entire world is experiencing natural calamities so be prepared!

'We are but angels with one wing, it takes two to fly'

In 1996 we made a film, which proved my survival methodology to be correct. The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul, University of Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this practical, scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home with 20 mannequins inside. Ten mannequins did 'duck and cover,' and ten mannequins I used in my 'triangle of life' survival method. After the simulated earthquake collapse we crawled through the rubble and entered the building to film and document the results. The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques under directly observable, scientific conditions , relevant to building collapse, showed there would have been zero percent survival for those doing duck and cover.

There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method of the 'triangle of life.' This film has been seen by millions of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe, and it was seen in the USA , Canada and Latin America on the TV program Real TV.

A remote cave where people pray to ‘deathless’ Yogi-Chris

Kukucheena (Uttarakhand), April 17 (IANS) More than six decades after his identity was revealed in a spiritual classic, the faithful still trek to a remote cave in a hill here to pray to a revered figure described as India’s Yogi-Christ.
It was Paramhansa Yogananda’s ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’, which has sold in millions around the world since it came out in 1946, that talked about Babaji, saying the ‘deathless Mahavatar’ domiciles in the forested hills beyond Ranikhet.
The book, widely regarded as a gem in spiritual literature, said the secluded master had retained his physical form for centuries, perhaps more, since giving yoga initiation to Shankara and Kabir.
His chief 19th century disciple was Shyamacharan Lahiri, widely known as Lahiri Mayasaya, who in 1861 was introduced by Babaji to Kriya Yoga – in the very cave that still nestles in the tranquility of the lower Himalayas.
Unlike other caves regarded holy in India, this one is as remote as it can get – the mountains served only by natural light.
 Away from this obscure hilly hamlet whose main hub is a tea stall, a dirt road takes off to the sacred cave, cutting through mountains and broad enough to take only one small car at a time.
Most people, however, prefer to walk.
Beyond a point, the dirt road ends, giving way to a rough and narrow hilly path that is arduous and at times steep, involving an energy consuming climb of 40-60 minutes – depending on one’s physical ability.
The first prize of the climb is a well-built meditation hall maintained by the Yogoda Satsanga Sabha, which leases the hill where the cave is located. Further up, but not too far away, is the cave, located amid rocky ledges.
With a few stone steps leading to it, the cave, served by natural light, has a big opening. But it can take no more than a dozen people at a time because its earlier deep interior has been covered by a plastered stone wall.
The silence of the place is broken only by the constant chirping of the many species of birds in these hills.
Inside the cave is a little altar, marked by stones. Barring two incense sticks lit every morning and a few cushions kept for those who find it difficult to sit on hard stone, there is little else there.
Locals say that similar caves and hills in this sprawling region have been homes for sages who meditated for decades and spread divinity.
But no one is more revered than Babaji, described by Yogananda as ‘deathless’ and one who looks around 25 years old, fair skinned, of medium built and height, with copper colour hair and dark eyes, the body radiating a perceptible glow.
The only hand sketched photograph of Babaji comes from Yogananda’s book – showing him seated in lotus position, the eyes looking up.
‘Even today people talk of seeing strange lights in the hill at night,’ confides hotelier Mahinder Singh Rautela, who lives in the nearby town of Dwaharat, from where Kukucheena is an hour’s drive.
‘Villagers who sometimes step into the forests in search of their lost cows say they have been helped by a young stranger to find their cattle. But invariably the person disappears once the cow is found,’ Rautela told a IANS correspondent.
To save it from vandalism, the Yogoda Sabha has built an iron gate to the cave and the meditation hall. Both are locked at night and most part of the day except when there are visitors.
‘People come from all parts,’ says Vibha Chawla of the Sabha, describing the cave’s serenity. ‘Some find it difficult to climb but they manage it. It is all faith.’

उत्तराखंड में चीन सीमा पर हवाई पट्टी शुरू
नई दिल्ली। सीमा के नजदीक चीन के सैन्य ढांचा मजबूत करने के मद्देनजर भारतीय वायुसेना ने भी उत्तराखंड के धारासु में अपनी हवाई पट्टी चालू कर दी है। इस हवाई पट्टी यानी एडवांस लैंडिंग ग्राउंड (एएलजी) के चालू होने से किसी आपात स्थिति में जवानों और सैन्य उपकरणों को कम समय में ही यहां पहुंचाया जा सकेगा।
वायुसेना ने अपने जर्नल ‘ब्लू ग्लोरी’ में बताया कि 3400 फीट लंबी यह एएलजी चीनी सीमा के नजदीक 2,950 फीट की ऊंचाई पर है। जर्नल में बताया गया है कि एएलजी पर सबसे पहले ट्रायल लैंडिंग करते हुए मध्य वायु कमान के एयर मार्शल एस वर्धमान ने एएन-32 परिवहन विमान उतारा।
उनके साथ ग्रुप कैप्टन एसके इंदौरिया भी थे। पिछले तीन-चार सालों में चीनी सीमा के नजदीक भारत ने बुनियादी सैन्य सुविधाओं को विकसित करने की दिशा में कई कदम उठाए हैं।

यहां हर घर में पैदा होता है एक अफसर

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 06:33 AM PDT

बागेश्वर। कौन कहता है आसमां में सुराख नहीं होता, एक पत्थर तो तबियत से उछालो यारो। ये लाइनें खंतोली गांव के उन युवाआं पर सटीक बैठती हैं जिन्होंने किसी भी स्कूल से सात किमी दूर रहते हुए भारत की सरकारी सेवाओं में सबसे ऊंचा मुकाम पाया। गांव छोड़कर सड़कों की तरफ भाग रहे लोगों को आईना दिखाया कि सुविधाओं से प्रतिभा नहीं प्रतिभाएं सुविधाओं को जन्म देती हैं। तमाम सुविधाओं के अभाव में इस गांव के छह लोग केंद्रीय प्रशासनिक सेवा के उच्च पदों तक पहुंचे तो यह किसी आश्चर्य से कम नहीं। सात सौ लोगों के इस गांव में लगभग हर घर से एक अधिकारी निकला है। कुमाऊं में बिजली की रोशनी पहुंचाने वाले पहले इंजीनियर रामचंद्र पंत के गांव में आज भी प्रतिभाओं की कमी नहीं। कांडा-विजयपुर मार्ग से तीन किमी दूर खंतोली गांव में भी मूलभूत सुविधाओं का अभाव उसी तरह है जैसे पहाड़ के और गांवों में है। इन अभावों के बावजूद यह गांव कुछ अलग है। इस गांव में इतनी प्रतिभाएं हैं की अंगुली में नहीं गिनी जा सकतीं। देश का शायद ही कोई सेवा क्षेत्र हो जिसका कोई बड़ा पद खंतोली के हिस्से न आया हो। खंतोली से निकली प्रतिभाओं की बात करें तो इसमें एक आईएएस, एक आईएएस एलाइड, दो आईएफएस और एक आईईएस है। सफलता की कहानी यहीं खत्म नहीं होती पांच पीसीएस भी हैं और तीन वैज्ञानिक भी। इसमें दो वैज्ञानिक देश के परमाणु केंद्रों में काम कर रहे हैं। देश की सीमाओं की रक्षा के लिए इस गांव ने एक ब्रिगेडियर, तीन विंग कमांडर और एक कमांडेंट भी दिया है। चिकित्सा और इंजीनियरिंग में भी गांव के युवाओं का बड़ा योगदान है। गांव के पांच युवा डाक्टर और 30 इंजीनियर हैं। कुमाऊं में बिजली पहुंचाने का काम भी इसी गांव के इंजीनियर रामचंद्र पंत के निर्देशन में हुआ। शिक्षा और संगीत के क्षेत्र में भी खंतोली के नाम बड़ी उपलब्धि है। गांव के आठ लोग महाविद्यालयों में प्रोफेसर हैं तो संगीतज्ञ चंद्रशेखर पंत के नाम पर नैनीताल में संगीत विद्यालय चल रहा है। देश की आजादी में देवी दत्त पंत, नारायण दत्त पंत, हरि दत्त पंत, कीर्ति बल्लभ पंत, पूर्णानंद पंत, चंद्र शेखर पंत, पुरुषोत्तम का नाम भुलाया नहीं जा सकता। सेवानिवृत्त शिक्षक दयाधर पंत बताते हैं कि गांव की सफलता का सबसे बड़ा कारण है लोगों का गांव से जुड़े रहना। वह कहते हैं गांव में अधिकारियों की कोई कमी नहीं लेकिन हर अधिकारी आज भी गांव से जुड़ा है। समय-समय पर गांव आकर यही अधिकारी गांव में शिक्षा ले रहे युवाओं को आज भी ऊर्जा और आगे बढ़ने की प्रेरणा दे रहे हैं।

                                            First Feature Film of Holland
  The dutch film industry is small industry and Government is sensitive to protect and promote the film industry as Film is part and partial of present society.

Today, Portuguese film industry is running on rough roads as the total production cost of film and televisions produced annually is 1.5 billion escudos but revenue generation  is just 0.2 billion escudos only. The gap between production cost and sales cost is huge.
   In India too, Garhwali and Kumauni film industries are facing the problem of huge gap between film production and sales generation . The biggest problem is non availability of theatres for Garhwali and Kumauni films as Hindi films dominate the arena.

                         Switzerland and Film Industry
           Switzerland does not have grown film industry as the film making is nor feasible but Switzerland government’s facilities for producers of other countries make Switzerland the heaven for making films in Switzerland and by that way Switzerland is successful in promoting tourism.

The first motion picture of United Kingdom was  made in Hyde Park in 1889 by William F. Greene,
“Blackmail” (1929) by Alfred Hitchcock is first talking feature film of United Kingdom . The position of Parashar gaur of Garhwali film industry is equal to Alfred Hitchcock in the sense of taking initiative to develop a genre.
Garhwali film industry can develop or flourish only when the subject and screenplay are competent enough for international audience. The film Industry of United Kingdom was facing daunting competition from Hollywood before 1930 or today too. But film makers as Alfred Hitchcock and Charlie Chaplin came to rescue the British film industry at that time. Garhwali film writers should take lesions from Alfred Hitchcock and Charlie Chaplin that when you face adversity you should coin an innovative way of subject and screenplay that you get International audience as Alfred Hitchcock and Charlie Chaplin could compete the largeness of Hollywood film industry by their screenplay and subject selection skills

भागीरथी नदी का पानी टिहरी बांध क्षेत्र और देवप्रयाग में सबसे शुद्ध है। यहां पानी को स्वच्छ बनाने के लिए हायपोरीक जोन (जहां पानी पत्थरों के बीच टकराकर गुजरता है) अधिक संख्या में हैं। इन जोनों में ऐसे जलीय जन्तु मौजूद होते हैं, जो नदी के पानी को साफ-सुथरा बनाने का काम करते हैं। अनियोजित निर्माण के चलते कोटेश्वर बांध क्षेत्र में हायपोरीक जोन गायब हो गए हैं। लिहाजा वहां के पानी में प्रदूषण अधिक है। यह बात उत्तराखंड विज्ञान एवं प्रौद्योगिकी परिषद (यूकॉस्ट) के दो साल के अध्ययन में सामने आई है। हायपोरीक जोन नदी के वह क्षेत्र होते हैं जहां पानी किनारों पर पत्थरों के बीच से होकर गुजरता है। इन पत्थरों के नीचे विभिन्न प्रकार के एक कोशिकीय जलीय जन्तु होते हैं। ये पानी को शुद्ध बनाने में विशेष भूमिका निभाते हैं। विश्वभर में इस तरह की जैवविविधता को संरक्षित करने के तेजी से प्रयास चल रहे हैं। भारत में हायपोरीक जोन के जन्तुओं में यह अध्ययन अभी नया है। इस जोन की हकीकत जानने के लिए यूकॉस्ट ने पहली बार भागीरथी नदी पर हायपोरीक जैव विविधता का अध्ययन किया। शोध वैज्ञानिक डॉ. मनीषा उनियाल ने बताया कि सबसे निचले क्षेत्र की बात करें तो देवप्रयाग में हायपोरीक जोन अधिक पाए गए। यहां पानी को साफ करने वाले जलीय जन्तु अधिक संख्या में पाए गए। कोटेश्वर बांध परियोजना क्षेत्र में ये जोन नदारद पाए गए। यहां पानी में परियोजना का मलवा गिरने व पानी का रुख प्रभावित होने से हायपोरीक जोन समाप्त हुए हैं। ये जलीय जन्तु करते पानी को साफ माइक्रोजूबेन्थोस, माइक्रो फाइटो बेन्थोस, लीकेन व मीसोसाईक्लोप्स आदि। ये सभी एक कोशिकीय सूक्ष्म प्राणी हैं।

हमेशा कारगर नहीं होते अनशन![/t][/t]
शिशिर प्रशांत / देहरादून August 25, 2011[/t]
[/t]
[/t] अन्ना हजारे देश के पहले या आखिरी व्यक्ति नहीं हैं, जो अपनी मांगों को लेकर अनशन पर बैठे हैं। लेकिन यह अनशन हमेशा कारगर नहीं होते। इस अस्त्र का इस्तेमाल देश के विभिन्न इलाकों में होता रहा है।
उत्तराखंड का ही उदाहरण लें तो देवभूमि के नाम से विख्यात इस राज्य में कई सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं ने गांधीवादी रास्ता अख्तियार किया है और सत्याग्रह के बीच ही परलोक सिधार गए हैं। साथ ही उनकी मांगें भी नहीं मानी गईं।
इन लोगों ने महात्मा गांधी से प्रेरणा ली और वे अनिश्चितकालीन अनशन पर बैठे, जिसमें सबसे लंबा अनशन 84 दिन तक चला। स्वर्गीय श्रीदेव सुमन ने लोकतंत्र की मांग को लेकर टिहरी राजपरिवार के खिलाफ 1940 में अनशन किया और जेल में उनका अनशन सर्वाधिक दिनों तक चला। 84 दिन के लंबे अनशन के बाद उनकी मौत हो गई।
वर्ष 2004 में सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता बाबा उत्तराखंडी ने देहरादून की जगह गैरसैण को उत्तराखंड राजधानी बनाए जाने की मांग को लेकर भूख हड़ताल की।  उनके अनशन के 39वें दिन उनकी मृत्यु हो गई।
इस साल हरिद्वार के धार्मिक गुरु स्वामी निगमानंद ने अवैध खनन गतिविधियों पर लगाम लगाए जाने की मांग को लेकर 73 दिन लंबा अनशन किया। आखिर में करीब 1 महीने तक अस्पताल में भर्ती रहने के बाद उनकी मौत हो गई। इस मामले में सीबीआई जांच के आदेश दिए गए हैं।
लेकिन कुछ अन्य लोग इतने दुर्भाग्यशाली नहीं रहे। चिपको आंदोलन के नेता और पर्यावरण कार्यकर्ता सुंदरलाल बहुगुणा भी 1990 में 2400 मेगावॉट की टिहरी पनबिजली परियोजना की स्थापना के खिलाफ 74 दिन लंबा अनशन किया। बहरहाल, उन्होंने प्रधानमंत्री के आश्वासन के बाद अनशन खत्म कर दिया। लेकिन सरकार ने बाद में इस परियोजना को जारी रखा। कुछ साल बाद बहुगुणा को पद्म विभूषण सम्मान दिया गया।
आईआईटी के सेवानिवृत्त प्रोफेसर और सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता जीडी अग्रवाल ने अनिश्चितकालीन अनशन किया, जिसके बाद राज्य सरकार को दो बड़ी पनबिजली परियोजनाएं 2008 में स्थगित करनी पड़ीं। 2 साल बाद केंद्र सरकार ने न सिर्फ दोनों परियोजनाओं को बंद कर दिया, बल्कि अग्रवाल के दबाव में एनटीपीसी की 600 मेगावॉट क्षमता वाली लोहारीनाग पाला परियोजना को रोक दिया।
साल की शुरुआत में टिहरी के कांग्रेस विधायक किशोर उपाध्याय ने भी 14 दिन लंबा अनशन किया। उन्होंने राज्य सरकार से विकास से जुड़े मुद्दे पर 24 सूत्री मांगे मनवाने के लिए अनशन किया था। लेकिन इनमें से ज्यादातर मांगें नहीं मानी गईं।
