कोडे जोवर सुटत नाही

August 12, 2017 by chinmayebhave

प्रवास संपला नाही तरीही चालतच रहा वाट सापडली नाही तरीही भटकतच रहा कोडे जोवर सुटत नाही मनाच्या आत शोधतच राहा

कुठे हरवली माझी कविता

August 11, 2017 by chinmayebhave

कुठे हरवली माझी कविता लिहीली होती कधी स्वप्नांच्या देशात राहत असे पापण्यांच्या घरात का विरघळली डोळ्यातल्या थेंबात … 1 कधी क्षितिजावर दिसतात माझेच शब्द गुणगुणलो होतो कधी चांदरात रेन ट्रीच्या बनात का मोकळ्या आसमंतात … 2 कुठे गेली माझी धुळीतली पावले कधी चाललो होतो साखरझोपेत खुणावत मला टी रोजच्या रस्त्यात आणि गायब व्हायची गवतात … 3 कुठे गेले माझे पंख झेप घेतली होती कधी निळ्या नभात कधी दूर अवकाशात कधी मनातल्या आभाळात … 4

Qutb Shahi Tombs

August 10, 2017 by chinmayebhave

Tombs are solemn sites … but if you look at the form … the geometry there is a lot to admire and smile about. On a hot summer day during IPL 2017 I decided to spend a morning before the game to explore the Qutb heritage park which has several tombs of the Qutb Shahi family. The first tomb we come across is in remembrance of Abdullah Qutb Shah (1626-72) It is one of its kind tomb complex with the […]

Chor Minar of Hauz Khas

August 7, 2017 by chinmayebhave

We all know the iconic Qutb Minar of Delhi … an architectural marvel from the Mamluk era. But let us go a bit ahead by about a hundred years and we find mention of another Minar. Not so tall and grand and not celebrated either … today located inside a quiet housing area in Hauz Khas enclave, this monument stands in fairly good condition. It is a 13th century monument built during Allauddin Khalji reign between 1290-1320CE. One can notice […]

The Jama Masjid

August 4, 2017 by chinmayebhave

About half a kilometre away from the red fort lies another majestic monument built in the Shahajahan era. If I am not wrong, it is a part of Shahajahanabad city designed by him. The friday mosque was built between 1650-56 and well it costed just about ten lac Rupees in the 17th century… In a comprehensive book on Delhi published by ASI and written by Urmila Varma, I found a rustic old image of the masjid. Three shapely domes and […]

The Bollywood Baoli

July 24, 2017 by chinmayebhave

Well my blog title is quite unfair …. because perhaps one of the most gorgeous stepwells in India does not need Bollywood endorsement to become an important monument! But to be fair to Bollywood it is an ignored gem.Amir Khan’s PK and the recent Sridevi thriller MOM … both feature Ugrasen ki baoli on the big screen. Many of my Delhi dosts were not aware of this stepwell though it is right in the heart of New Delhi city… perhaps […]

छत्रपती, दादोजी आणि रामदास – शेजवलकरांच्या नजरेतून

July 22, 2017 by chinmayebhave

महाराष्ट्रात मराठा-ब्राम्हण वाद राजकीय स्वार्थासाठी उभा केला गेला आणि त्याला अजूनही भडकता ठेवण्यासाठी काही लोक प्रयत्नशील आहेत. या वादाच्या वणव्यात छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराज, दादोजी कोंडदेव व समर्थ रामदास यांना हवे तसे वापरले गेले आहे … छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराज लोकोत्तर राजे … त्यांचा गुरु कोण? यावरून आजच्या राजकारणात आपली पोळी भाजून घेण्याचा प्रयत्न असतो … छत्रपती शिवाजी महाराजांचे चरित्र कट्टर हिंदुत्ववादी रंगात रंगवल्याचा आरोप शिवशाहीर बाबासाहेब पुरंदरेंवर अनेकदा केला घेला आहे … त्यांना महाराष्ट्रभूषण पुरस्कार जाहीर झाला तेव्हा हा वाद उकरून […]

The Mystique of Mehrauli

July 21, 2017 by chinmayebhave

As Indraprastha in the age of Mahabharata it was a city ruled by Pandavas. Painted grey ware found in excavations near the site of Purana Qila points at the long continuity of civilization in the national capital region. From Mauryas in the third century BC to the modern Republic of India, Delhi or Dhillika has been ruled by several dynasties. From Tomar Rajputs like King Anangapal to the British who shifted India’s capital to Delhi from Kolkata in 1911 every […]

The IPL Diva – Archana Vijaya

July 1, 2017 by chinmayebhave

I have spent three action packed seasons with the Sony IPL production team and was fortunate enough to interact with Archana Vijaya … Without her the extraa innings experience would be incomplete… It is fun to have an impromptu photo session with her after long day of cricket shoots … Well Archie is always fresh for the camera!
