    Fatehpur sekhawati is the place where myself and my dreams comes through…I had my Graduation from the college ie..Seth G.R.Chamaria college in 1971. A sleeping town ..easy going life.Local market and a library ..Saraswati library.
    another lib..Azad Bhawan Pustkalaya…and I remember my school ..Jangid vaidik vidyalaya ..my father Shree Ramniwas Bhaskar was the Head Master of my school.My school and college days , I always remember.but after 42 years things have totally changed. Every where we looks khandher, mentality of local residents are very poor…Relationship, zero.die for money…JYADA KUCHH NAHI..BURA LAGATA HAI….

    Fatehpur Shaekhawati is a turely mesmarising place. Has relegious sparks and also is a great junction for god and godessess.It is a hub of rajasthani culture and relegious temples. Having Laxminathji temple and Amrithnathji Aashram in it aads a symbolic meaning and importance for thins unique and beautiful place. And this is all because of the wonderful people there and their belief.

    hello sir
    fatehpur is my born place
    i love my fatehpur town in the district of sikar rajasthan
    AND I PROUD TOoo…

    “To hear never-heard sounds,
    To see never-seen colors and shapes,
    To try to understand the imperceptible
    Power pervading the world;
    To fly and find pure ethereal substances
    That are not of matter
    But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
    To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
    To be a lantern in the darkness
    Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
    To feel much more than know.
    To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a DESERT;
    To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
    To be a lots of havelis, & read the memory of the street
    Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.
    To be a smile on the face of a woman
    And shine in her memory
    As a moment saved without planning.”

    “There are many beautiful cities im rajasthan that get by on their good looks, in that most famous & beautiful place are fatehpur shekhawati
    offer climate and scenery,; and there are cities like Detroit that have to work for a living,

    but my fatehpur shekhawati is so different whose reason for being might be but whose growth is based . Detroit has its natural attractions: and four distinct seasons for those who like variety in their weather, everything but hurricanes and earth-quakes. But it’s never been the kind of city people visit and fall in love with fatehpur shekhawati haveli this be a nice place to live.”

I was entertained by my friend Ghulam Hussain Khan Joad, but I have lost contact with him since that time. I am on old man, and Ghulam Hussain must also be old (hopefully still living). I would very much like to contact him if possible, or his nephew, Shabbar.

    Nice to see comment about my birth place. I always keep in mind about social and cultural beauty of our town ie Fatehpur Shekhawati. Remembering on those days when people were enjoying with or within the society and helpful to each other. Now a days thing are totally changed lot of difference in social life in last 50 years. In my child hood days i remember that i had taken diner and taken halt at night at my friends home near to my home while paying (Aas Pass) in night, nothing worry to my parent where about me. Really those days will never come human being lost piece of mind and fly without goal. I miss my those days and friends too.

ALSO UPDATE TO THE NEXT GENERATION ABOUT THE FOUR PILLAR OF LIFE THAT IS HEALTH WEALTH FAMILY AND SOCIAL FOR THEIR WELL UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD
    THIS IS THE TIME TO GET TRY HIMSELF OUT OF FAMILY AND THEIR AFFECTION TO REACH NEXT LAVEL OF ASHRAM THAT IS SANYAS ASHRAM SO CAN BE LIVE WITHOUT ANY WISH OR AFFECTION .

    SANYAS ASHRAM TEACH US ABOUT PRESENCE OF GOD AND BE READY FOR LEAVE EVERY THING AND BELIEVE ONLY ON GOD.THIS IS THE LAST STAGE AND WE KNOW ABOUT THE HUMAN LIFE WHICH WE HAVE WELL EXPERIENCED

    IT WAS REALY AUTHENTIC DIVISION OF HUMAN LIFE THAT IS FOUR ASHRAM BRAHMCHARYA, ,GRAHSTH, VANPRASTH AND LAST SANAYAS ASHRAM EACH TERMS OF 25 YEARS.
