Gwalior Plus

No, I didn't realize until 2011, when I met with a car accident which changed my life.... I was a girl with full of life, love, creativity & happiness. A girl who was just like a kid & who never thought of any bad thing can ever happen to her or to anyone in her family. Life for me was perfect like an angel story where all good things happen.... but I was missing that in every angle's story, there is a turn always... And that's why this accident was extremely shocking but at the same time an eye opener for me to look life from a different angle. I had an amazing holiday and I was coming back to home with some awesome memories. I was driving my car while listening to my favorite music and speed was bit high on the highway when suddenly I had to apply breaks to save someone's life, who came into the picture out of nowhere. Due to strong breaks, my car was out of control and turned upside down. I was unconscious, and had a severe head injury. Police ca...

Elections play a great role in Indian politics. As we are one of the biggest democracies in the world, it is our responsibility to enjoy this much sought after festival. The elections dates in Madhya Pradesh have been declared and with that all the parties have started making the tall claims. Both the BJP and the Congress is on the sticky wicket this time. Madhya Pradesh is a state known for people’s courage, uprightness and vigour. But the political parties of the state have never come in terms with their promises made to the people during last elections. People of the state will certainly ask these questions from their leaders who forget them after the elections and will come for their precious votes when only the election dates are declared. Now, with the advent of NOTA (None of the Above) option in the EVM (Electronic Voting Machine), the people are getting more and more powerful. This will encourage 100 percent voting because earlier people did not want to participate becaus...

In this article, the author "Urmila Chanam" describes her visit to the Gwalior fort and the story of the Rani of Jhansi. Courtesy :  India Water Portal The fort wall was an artifact, property of great historical value, a museum pride and the most precious belonging of the people of Gwalior, a city in the central region of India.  It was a beautiful autumn evening, in my walk up the steep ascent that led to the front of the fort I could sense the magnificent dominance of the structure in this terrain. Gwalior fort-militarily, it must have been almost unconquerable. As I shifted my backpack that was an unwise and unnecessary weight that carried my laptop, tablet, water bottle brimming with cold water to beat the heat, notepads, my glasses and camera I found myself annoyed to be in a situation like this where I would have fared better without a heavy bag . The ascent to the main fort gate made my calf muscles ache, the fading sun acted harsher on my skin, I almost gave up ...

He was all of 6 years old when Amjad Ali Khan gave his first recital of   Sarod . It was the beginning of yet another glorious chapter in the history of Indian classical music. Taught by his father  Haafiz Ali Khan  Amjad Ali Khan was born to the illustrious Bangash lineage rooted in the Senia Bangash School of music. Today he shoulders the sixth generation of inheritance in this legendary lineage. After his debut, the career graph of this musical legend took the speed of light, and on its way the Indian classical music scene was witness to regular and scintillating bursts of Raga supernovas. Thus, the world saw the Sarod being given a new and yet timeless interpretation by Amjad Ali Khan. Khan is one of the few maestros who consider his audience to be the soul of his motivation. As he once said,  "There is no essential difference between classical and popular music. Music is music. I want to communicate with the listener who finds Indian classical music re...
