Kyun Khud Ko Beqaraar Kiye Jaarahi Hoon Mein

Kyun Khud Ko Beqaraar Kiye Jaarahi Hoon Mein
Kis Bewafa Ko Pyar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Aaya Kabhi Na, Aur Jo Na Ayega Phir Kabhi
Kyun Uska Intezar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Jo Kisi Wafa Ke Naam Se Bhi Ashna Nahi
Uspar Hi Jaan Nisaar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Poora Na Hoga Wada-E-Wafa Kabhi Magar
Danista Aitebar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Ankhoun Ko Ashkbaar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Usko Mein Bhool Jaoun Ye Mumkin Nahi Magar
Dil Tujhko Baar Baar Hoshiyar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Ruswa Hui Hoon Aaj Jiske Pyar Me Mein
Isko Bhi Sharmsaar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Koshish Ye Baar Baar Kiye Jarahi Hoon Mein
Dena Naa Gair Ko Itni Jagah Qareeb Kabhi

Neend mein palkein hoti hain jab bhi bhari

Neend mein palkein hoti hain jab bhi bhari
Banke khwaab baar baar nazar aate ho

Mat poocho ye mujhse ke kab yaad aate ho
Jab jab saansein chalti hain bahaut yaad aate ho

Mehfil mein shaamil hote hain hum jab bhi
Bhird ki tanhayon mein her baar nazar aate ho

Jab bhi socha ke faasla rakhoon main tum se
Zindagi ban ke saanson mein sama jaate ho

Khud ko toofaan banaane ki koshish to ki
Ban ke saahil apni aagosh mein sama jaate ho

Chaha na tha main ne is paheli mein uljhna
Her uljhan ka jawab ban ke ubhar aate ho

Suraj ki roshni,chanda ki chandni
Aasmaan ko dekhta hoon main jab jab

Tumhari kasam bahaut bahaut yaad aate ho
Ab na poochna mujhse ke kab kab yaad aate ho ....

King Cobra

King Cobra

The King Cobra, found in India is the largest toxic snake in the world. In a single bite it can inject enough toxins to kill an elephant - up to 6- 7 ml. This is enough to kill up to 20 people. The King Cobra is worshipped in India, particularly on the festive occasion of Nag Panchami and is depicted in sculpture on temple walls and celebrated in fairy story and legend. The venom of King Cobras has a paralyzing effect on the nerves and has been used to develop painkillers used to treat arthritis in humans.

Range: King Cobras are found from corner to corner South East Asia from India through Southern China, Vietnam Malaysia Indonesia and the Philippines. The largest recorded King Cobras have been found in peninsular Malaysia.

Estimated population. Exact numbers of King Cobra population in India are unknown. They are considered a rare species.

Physical characteristics: King Cobras grow to an average length of 3 m. The longest recorded King Cobra was 5.58 m. When the King Cobra threatened reacts by putting on a threat display. It raises to one-third the length of its body, spreads its hood and emits a hissing noise. The color of a King Cobra's body can range from black to gray to brownish green. The belly is usually white or cream in color. Young King Cobras, which are about 14 inches long, have bright markings on their bodies. They often have yellow, white or black bands across their bodies. These bright bands fade with time to become the broad chevron like markings seen on adult cobras.

Habitat: King Cobras prefer rainforest and humid jungle. Thick undergrowth, cool swamps and bamboo clusters. Cobras prefer to avoid human habitation. The destruction of their habitat has led to increased human cobra conflict. Cobras can slide up trees and bushes and spend a significant amount of time above the ground, looking for prey.

Diet: King Cobras feed on other snakes and small reptiles. It's preferred diet is non-venomous snakes such as the Rat Snake but also eats venomous snakes such as the Common or Indian Cobra, smaller King Cobras and Kraits. It can eat snakes that are almost its own length and also eats monitor lizards, frogs and other small amphibians and reptiles. The King cobra kills striking its prey with its fangs and injecting a lethal amount of venom. It then swallows its prey whole.

Behavior: King Cobras can raise up to one-third their length and look for prey or as a defensive gesture. They rarely attack humans and will only strike to protect its eggs, in self-defense or when threatened or provoked. The King Cobra prefers to avoid confrontation with humans. Male King Cobras wrestle with each other in ritual mating contests for a female cobra. King Cobras are the only snakes that make nests for their eggs. The female snake or Queen brings together a pile of leaves. As the leaves decay they generate heat, which keeps the eggs warm. The Queen lays 20-40 eggs in the base of the nest and curls up above them to keep them warm till they hatch. The eggs are incubated for 2 months. During this time the Queen will defend her nest from any predators. The Queen leaves the nest just before the young snakes emerge from their eggs. In India the traditional belief is that King Cobras mate for life. King Cobras shed their skin several times a year in a process known as ecdysiast.

History of Elephant Training

"Ptolemy Philadelphus was presented with a young elephant which understood the Greek language of the district where it had been brought up. Hitherto it was believed that elephants understood only the language spoken by Indians."

The tradition of training elephants goes back some 4 thousand years, developed in the Hindu valley, as far as the oldest painting and statues document. All over Southeast Asia the traditions of contagious and teaching wild elephants spread. In most cases the elephants were possessed by rich kings, for war or prestige, and the trainers formed into particular castes, trained and disciplined by superior trainers in the kings elephants stables, forming the elephant cavalries. By this time the elephant handlers were entitled great honor and prestige.
Formerly, an art of hunting tribes, that used to capture elephants now and then, it became a profession, where knowledge was handed down from old generations to younger. In large stables the riders were soldiers, and organized like a cavalry. Elephants were caught with lassos from tame elephants (mela) trapped in pits, or scared into large palisades (keddha).
After capture, a selection were done, and the most promising animals were kept to be tamed. They would be roped, and pulled out from the Keddha, with help of specially trained elephants called Kungkhies. After a period in a Kraal, a cage with wooden bars, were the elephants could be approached in safety, and where the first contact was made with food, water and rewards, as well as punishment for agressivness, the elephants would undergo training with Kungkies and experienced mahouts. The training included being overpowered and pulled down in lying position with help of ropes, but there was less hitting than what people in general expect. The more an elephant gets hit during this period, the more dangerous is the work for the trainer, and the longer time it will take to reach a stage, where the trainer can approach the elephant, and stand beside it, without being attacked. The sooner the captured elephant starts to cooperate, the sooner the work gets safer for the mahouts, and the training progress develops. After some three or four months, the captured elephants would be taken to work with the other tame elephants.
The tradition slowly spread towards the west.
Hannibal, the Cartesian warlord, used war elephants 264 BC against the Romans, and again they were used 262 BC on Sicily, 250 BC. (28 elephants) at Palermo, Sicily, 217 BC. 73 African elephants were battled against Asian Elephants. (War between Ptolemaios IV-Anthiochus II)
More than a century later, in the battle of Thapsus (February 6 46 BC), Julius Caesar armed his fifth legion (Alaudae) with axes and commanded his legionaries to strike at the elephant's legs. The legion withstood the charge and the elephant became its symbol. Thapsus was the last significant use of elephants in the West
The first historically recorded elephant in northern Europe was the animal brought by emperor Claudius, during the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43, to the British capital of Colchester.

Around AD also African elephants were used in wars and in arenas, but they seem during this period however, never have been trained "south of the Sahara", except for Ethiopia and Somali, where famous hunting tribes became skilled with elephants. Greece and Rome had arenas permanent circuses, and one of the more famous was owned by Queen Hat-Shep-Sut of Egypt.
Among the earlier Zoological Gardens in Europe after the fall of the Roman empire, was the three menageries owned by emperor Charlemagne, (Karl the Great) Aix-la-Chapelle, Nijmegen and Ingelheim. In 797 he received the elephant Abul-Abbas as a gift from Harun-ar-Rashid.
In 1255 Louis IX of France gave an elephant to Henry III of England, for his menagerie in the Tower of London. It was the first elephant to be seen in England since Claudius' war elephant, and is claimed to have died in 1257 from drinking too much wine.
The elephant Hanno, or Annone, was a white elephant presented by king Manuel I of Portugal to Pope Leo X on the occasion of his coronation in 1514. He died, probably of an intestinal obstruction misdiagnosed as angina, with Pope Leo at his side in 1518. His story is told in Silvio Bedini's The Pope's Elephant
Hansken, a female elephant from Ceylon that became famous in early 17th century Europe, was touring through many countries demonstrating circus tricks, and sketched by Rembrandt and Stefano della Bella.

NarNaul

Narnaul Town

¤ The Great History

Narnaul is the main town of the of Mahendragarh district. Narnaul is date back to the Mahabharata as Nar Rashtra according to legend man and another one puts it to be about nine century years old, when lions roamed free in forest and thus the name was Naharnaul (lion’s fear).
There’s other more – one Raja Launkaran named it Narlaun after his wife. He was chosen new named Narnaul so we’ll call it that too.

Sher Shah Sur when he was the king of the Afghan king who came here from Bihar and shook the foundations of the Mughal dynasty, he was born here. And his father, Hasan Khan, was engaged in the services of Emperor Jahangir and was the jagirdar of Narnaul. While Akbar ruled here, he established a mint here, churning out coins for the masses. The religious Satanism revolted against Aurangzeb’s envoy in Narnaul so severaly that the emperor himself came down to quash the revolt.

When the Mughal dynasty was disintegrated, the town was taken over by the Rajputs ruler and became a part of Jaipur. However, after the Uprising of 1857 against the British, Narnaul passed into the hands of the Patiala ruler, Maharaja Narender Singh, was helping the Britishers.


¤ Main Attractions of Narnaul

Jal Mahal
A building in between water, Jal Mahal was built by Shah Quli Khan in 1591, an officer of Akbar and the ruler of Narnaul. It represents a synthesis of Persian and Indian architecture and stands at the centre of a large water tank. The approach through the water was via a causeway from the north which opens through an arched entrance. The main building is surrounded by four minarets, which have stairways leading right to the top. However, the lower chambers have by now disintegrated and not trace of them can be found.

Tomb of Pir Turkman
A tomb-cum-mosque complex, it belongs to a muslim saint caslled Hazarat Turkman who was setteled in these parts in the 12^th century to the dislike of local Rathore chiefs. The original tomb is capped by a dome, but the pillared verandah was built by the British very much later. Additions to the tomb were communed even during the Mughal period.

Tomb of Ibrahim Khan Sur
This tomb is a tribute by Sher Shah Sur, Ibrahim Khan Sur was the ruler of Bengal and later Hindustan, for his grandfather Ibrahim. The Sur who lies here served as the administrative officer Narnaul, and the monument was created by Sher Shah’s personal architect Sheikh Ahmad Niyazi. The tomb of Ibrahim Khan Sur is a perfect example of the Pathan style of those times.

Chor gumbad
The Chor gumbad is affectionately called the `signboard’ of the town and Standing majestically and isolated upon a rock in the north of the town, this Chor gumbad is a well planed square building with a large chamber within and four minarets outside of each corner. Constructed by the Afghan Jamal Khan during the reign of Feroze Shah Tughlaq, it became a hideout for robber and thieves, thus earning its named chor.

Tripolia gateway

This five-storey building has a number of halls, rooms and pavillions, and the Diwan-e-Khas (inner chambers) flaunts marble floors and pillars. Fountains and springs (they don’t work anymore) were made to keep the building as well as the surrounding area cool in summer, the water being sucked in from a well in the southwest. The Persian wheel was used to lift water into reservoirs at various levels from this well so that water could flow down at great speed. The underground chambers (now eaten away) are believed to have had three layers wher light streamed in throughout the day and had tunnels which lead directly to Delhi, Jaipur and Mahendrgarh. Only a basement remains today.
