अमृतवर्षा हो रही चंद्रमा से, तारकाओं का हर्षित अवसर।
पुष्पलताएं रोमांचित होती, करती ब्रह्मांड को सुगंधित।
रमणीय निशा की स्वर्गीय सुंदरता, निहारता हो कर मैं स्तिमित।

Little late to chip in for a post on #HindiDiwas, but certainly don't want to wait till next year. #Hindi has been my beloved language and i wrote few poems in my last trip to #Kumaon in #Uttarakhand. It is interesting to note that i wrote my first poem in #Kausani (1/3)
which also happens to be the birthplace of famous Hindi poet, Shri Sumitranandan Pant. Here's to the beautiful language, to the beautiful land and to the beautiful people of Uttarakhand
An ode to the beauty of night 🌃
दिन पिघला क्षितिज़ पर, वादी ने ओढ ली रात की चादर।
Proud to be hailing from the city of #Miraj - Has an extremely rich cultural heritage, known as 'Cultural Capital of Western Maharashtra'. And have seen these artisans working their hands on string instruments since childhood.
As I was researching to buy a tanpura, I learnt that the best tanpuras are made in Miraj, a city in Maharashtra.
It’s a fully handmade instrument, made by skilled artisans, taking a person over 10 days to make one piece.
Recent droughts in Europe once again made visible the "Hunger Stones" in some Czech and German rivers. These stones were used to mark desperately low river levels that would forecast famines. This one, in Elbe river, is from 1616 and says: "If you see me, cry"

Juan Fernandez Archipelago rings the bell for a name, Alexander Selkirk who spent 4 years alone on one of these islands and inspired Daniel Defoe to write #RobinsonCrusoe
I was fascinated by Selkirk's story at 8 when I read about it in a Marathi monthly for kids, Kishor (1989)
97% of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago (of which the island is one part) is a protected area. Many of the endemic trees, plants and animals are found only here on the entire planet! 🌎
Finally... The legendary Pallonji's soda available in #Chembur ... Tried the ice cream flavoured soda, now i know why it persists since 1865. Available at the newly opened beautiful cafe named #TheSpiceLaundry
If a postman went to rob a hummus factory and was buried under the produce after an accidental explosion, he'd be posthumous if he died and posthummus if he survived.

While most of them would be sharing the clip of 'Ball of the century', here's something amazing #ShaneWarne did with flippers. Part of glorious childhood memories #RIPShaneWarne
This book is massively entertaining... With deep meaning of life as he was aware about his death but was still in equanimity with every moment, was very conscious.
A short #thread (as short as my trip to Amritsar) on some interesting breakfast places in #Amritsar
Beera Puri Shop is a non descript hole in the wall kind of place just outside the premises of Golden Temple, serves piping hot puris with aloo and chole with pickled veggies
