“Be INDIAN…”

                     Dear Friends,
                                           As Indian this is our duty that any of festivals calibrate as per cultural style. For example New Year day of different states of Indian comminutes like Telgu, Tamil, Maliyalee, Kannada, Gujrati…and all states. Many of us didn’t know of that days’? But we know all other days’ like- Christmas, eed, valentine day...? Is this good that we didn’t celebrate our different states new year, and celebrate others day’s? Just think about it? Many of writers say that- “If peoples of any country didn’t obey nationality awareness, that country didn’t grow progress in proper way..? By this that country suffers many distractive actives.” If we travel any of other country they didn’t celebrate Indian festivals like- dipawali, Holi, and any other Indian important days.
                                            Many of Great Indian writers, famous persons, and sants give this massage to us time by time, but we ignored in very innocent way…? By this mentality we ‘under controlled’ by others time to time and that rollers destroyed our great culture. If we want to see our place in progressive country list, we came in last before some countries…? In history we are king of this world in all fields. But this reality dumped in dark by that other religious based countries. They know this very well that – ‘Indians are didn’t show nationality and faith to national language…’
                                           We are biggest republic country but is political scenario we didn’t came first…because we have lots off political parties, leaders…this is create many confusion in peoples mind that “who is right leader? Who give full attention for progress (without selfishness)? Who create environment of nationality?” Many of writers says in there books as well as in articles that- ‘if we didn’t came out this mentality we suffered by “under controlled’ by others time to time and every time…”
                                          Can we take oath- ‘ be Indian we do our work to built up our country as ‘ONE’ on this planet…”
       
Thanks

Rest for Next

“We get upset when hotel doesn't provide facilities and services as promised or as shown in its web site. It charges double for services like - a local phone call, taxi hire etc. Hotel management is rude."

These questions are true for most medium and other class of hotels. Because 80% of tourists stay in medium or budget hotels. This opinion is based on only Indian hotels and resorts. Here some examples that tells me, how some of my good friends, in fact me too behave when we go for a trip.

Puri is a famous pilgrimage and sea beach of India. I go there twice a year with family. When we reach Puri, many cycle rickshaw pullers come around and make noise for hotels, if we go with them to any hotel, the hotel quotes high tariff.

If we ask for discount, the hotel straight away says – NO. If we stay in that hotel, we have to pay what they ask for. Or we have wander here and there to search for a hotel. If we do this, we loss our precious time and spoil our mood. This is the first step that we face when we reach any tourist place in India. Now after this when we stay in the hotel, many other issues crop up like - the hotel doesn't provide proper guideline for places of tourist interest in that city, room service is not there, good and hygienic food is not available. At the time of check out, the bill you get is not clear. There is a thankless environment and you come back with only good memories in photographs.

Manali, another good place in our country but the hotel problem same. Here we face rude behavior of taxi drivers. If we want to go Rohtang Pass they ask for very high price. Rates depend on the mood of taxi drivers and they don’t smile either. Also no proper guideline is there. Here also without having a good time we come back to our home with only photographs.
                      

Port Blair another good place for sea beaches, islands, unforgettable sights, water sports… here again transport system is poor, no proper guideline, no proper safety. Hotel  tariff is different(When we book through a travel agent or book personally).

By this we don't understand why these things are going on? Why there lack of warmth of cheerfulness. Is this made by locals or by authorities?
                      

In my view, it is lack of nationality, and a failure of tourism promotions like Athiti devo bhava. What we can do however is to take the oath that “When any tourist comes to our city we give him/her full co-operation. Show warmth and cheerfulness, wear a smile on our face give real information and honest advice to our guest."

Also when we have some free time, this should be our basic duty to visit places tourist interest and see facilities. If things are not the way they should be, we should talk to officials or inform newspapers. The idea is to bring attention.

If we do this then any tourist who comes to visit our city will feel happy. A good word will spread around and more people will come and definetly we feel good...

As tourists when we visit any historical place, we just see it, purchase some mementos, books, pictures, and are out of that place. Also for a historical tour, we spare minimum time or try to give very short time. We don't pay attention that when that particular place was built, how many workers, and what architecture the monument has. No wonder, we are impressed by by the work of art, culture, and craft of the monument.

Ok  this is good, but if should we give some more time to visit and try to collect some historical knowledge about the monument and share it with our friends. We can write about our experiences of that place in our own words and get published in a blog, newspaper or magazine as an article. We may suggest that the place is well maintained? All necessary requirements for visitors are present there? If not then how can they manage to plan their visit to that place. We may give our own idea for this or may write comments in visitors book if they are available.

When we write story about that place, then give attention for some useful points that is- from were you reach to that place (like bus station, railway station, airport, or by private car,)? How far the place is like what is the distance? How much it would cost if one take a bus, train, plane or hires a car. What are the condition of approach roads and how is the behaviour of local population? We may also explain that how much time should one spend in that place. (Also write that how much time for actual visit to see all…). Guides have actual knowledge of that place or not? Official in the place are doing their duty well or not. Is the place clean or dirty? And also any other point that you noticed write clearly.

If we do this with honesty, then we do our duty as a tourist, historical lovers and good citizen. Also try to take photos of that place (try -that you are present in photo). With photo place your story for published.
