JLF kind of Festival


 An annual event that take place in the pink city which is the famous platform that  brings together some of the greatest thinkers and writers across the world specially from South Asia. Jaipur Literature Fest commonly knowns as Jlf  seems to be a productive place as one can attend  various sessions and interact with some of the greatest literary minds in the world. 

JLF,widely popular across the world has celebrated its 10th year in 2016 (past year)  . The fest was commenced on small ground in 2006 with only 18 writers including William Dalrymple , Namita Gokhale, Shobhaa De and 15 other authors. the fest was so small that it was attended by only 100 attendees. But with every passing year the footfall increased with subsequent  increase in the literary and other relevant famous dignitaries  . 

The fest is annually celebrated in Diggi Palace which is a Royal Palace cum Heritage hotel of the Pink city nagari. The idea behind this fest was to bring together some the great mind, historians,sportsmen, people,business leaders and entertainer from all walk of life who share the stage and their various work experience.

Apart from this there's probably a good specimen running across the lawns one can find. As it is open free literature  fest everyone and anyone tries to be the part of event. The species one can come across during the visit can be :

 -The main dignitaries which are the key speakers of the event or the professional reader and also some of the aspiring writers.

 -The photographers and their camera with notebook clutched in hand busy trying to cover the event send the reports which they promised to give in respective organizations. 

 -Huge crowd of school students who don't buy a single piece of write up instead carrying a single note book around and collecting signatures anyway.

 - The khan marketers which occupies the market in the event and bring the attractive collection of clothes, baggage , various accessories which make the event a perfect place of shopping can be considered as the crowd puller of the event 

 -One can also find the food lovers at the place as it has the great collection of various cuisines 

But this classification doesn't make any difference the fest is overall enjoyed by everyone present there . What i have mentioned above are just a small drop of water in the ocean of memories... i wish to attend the festival each year to uplift my literature enthusiasm, listen to some thought-provoking talks and meet some amzing wild hearts

Juliet's Love Song

You are the sound I always loved,   The tune I wanted To play, You the poem I wanted to write,   The word I didn't dare to say. You are the sunshine in my Sky,   The ozone layer that protects me, You are the moon in my night,   The cool wind that sets me free. You are the blanket when I'm cold,   The cozy bed when I'm feeling low, You are my white linen sheet,   The cool side of my pillow. You are the infinite ocean,   The while lashing waves' You are the deep blue sea,   The underwater hidden caves. You are the Christmas tree in my garden,   The unseen valentines day card, You're the colorful sky on new year,   The party in my backyard. You are the music I haven't heard,   The song I never played, You are the lyrics I want to write,   The melody that makes my day. You are the kiss I never felt,   The hug I never got, You are the hand I never held,   The gaze I always sought. You are the one I'm counting on,   The one who

To my dearest brother on his #Birthday

Now seems like a good a time as any to just say thank you. Thank you for always being there for me and for our family when we needed it. Mom has always stood by my side through anything I went through, Dad has always stood in front of me to protect me, but you always stood behind me. It may seem like an unnoticed spot, but you're the one who is always there to push me when I need it. You give me an extra boost when I'm sad. You support me with everything, whether it's sitting through dance recitals (hey, I sat through how many hours of your sports games?), helping me with Math homework, encouraging me to do my best, or even wiping a tear every now and then. You're like my own personal cheerleader who thinks the best of me whether I'm winning or losing. When I was born, you gained the title of big brother and all of the responsibility that went with it. You may have groaned and rolled your eyes more than a few times since then, but you always fulfilled the
