Osian Rajasthan part 2

While part 1 dealt with the town called Osian and Kuldevi Sachchiyay Mataji, this is all about how this place is an happening place as a Adventure tourism town.  The people have made use of Thar Desert and created a wonderful tourist attraction tons eith many Desert safari rides and safari camps.

Before I write about the tourism part,let me take you the Rajasthan's famous Step well.  Of course this is an unused well but these step wells were the source of water for people and there were also shops that were there to make the step wells a good connecting neighborhood place.  Even if 1000 people are going to use gge step well at the sane time there will never be a situation where one has to cross the other either while going up or down.  What an ingenious engineering Feat by our ancestors.
It is also believed that that there were treasure that they found in this step well which was used to build the maataji temple.  What a beautiful view of the temple from this place.













The Adventure 

Frm the town there are lots of open jeeps which are modified to seat about 7 people and take them to the sand dunes ( small ones).  There these jeeps go up and down the incline and provide the thrill of jeep safari on the sand dunes.  There are camels which provide you the ride as well as scooty rides and Para gliding  using jeeps on the top of the dunes.  Also you can view the sunset from there.






There are quite a few camp hotels where in the midst of wilderness you have a good set up and the evenings are filled with traditional dance along with authentic Rajasthan food.

Giving back to Society

When I joined Rotary Club of Chennai Thiruvanmiyur , I didnt understand what changes a club can make to somebody unknown. Our club had taken up Adult Literacy program in a very remote village near Pondi , which is quite far away from our city. While the project objectives were good, the distance and the way the then President had taken this project unilaterally, made all of us not to think too much of it. But a Project is a Project done with a Goodness. This is a such a remote village, where the main occupation of the people is fishing in the nearby Pondi reservoir . That is also halted when the Krishna waters comes into the reservoir . When the program was started it was with reluctance that the people joined. The President came up with the idea to give one kg of rice to the people who are attending the program, whenever he visited them. That became the great motivator as for people who dont know when their next meal will be or where it will come from - it became a boon ...

IT SME FORUM

About 7 months back a group of Entrepreneurs from Chennai who had a common thread of running their software companies got togehter to form a cohesive group - The IT SME FORUM - as a Strategy to accelerate their individual growth through synergy. Each one of these entrepreneurs are successfully running their software companies fighting individual battles to keep the company up and running, maintain a steady growth rate, increase their customer base, etc. Running a company in India is not a easy task - it is literally getting pulled in thousands of direction and believe me - A business leader is supposed to concentrate only on Growth - Marketing - Sales. But I have found that typically in the Indian environ, we get pulled into operations and managing to spend some time for the most crucial aspect of the business. This gave rise to the idea - why not have a platform to share the best practices, to learn how to tackle problems, get a better voice and get a big bandwidth in terms of out rea...

Thanks to Aravind who wanted me to write about the Temple at thiruvotriyur in chennai. that was one of those days when you get up early in morning and the whole world looks very frustrating and you dont know what to do. it became a God send message to me. So started my preparation to go the temple. I reside in the south chennai and the the Temple is at Thiruvotriyur in North Chennai. and the travel time will be more than 1.30 hours. So we started at 10.30 and reached around 11.45. The temple closes at 12 noon after the mid day pooja. What a divine visit it was. I came back so calm and filled with energy. This is a Shiva temple and the God is known as Tyagarajar, Adipureeswarar and Padampakka Nathar. The main deity is said be in the form of Lingam formed of Mud which is covered with Golden cover sheet. Once a year during Karthik Poornima, the Gold cover is removed and the necessary abishekam is performed and the once again the Lingam is covered with all the medicinal materials. His conc...
