राजधानी के चैक इलाके के सराय माली खां चैपटिया रोड में रहने वाले प्रेमचन्द्र रस्तोगी अपनी पत्नी सुशीला रस्तोगी, बेटे संजीव रस्तोगी, बहू बरखा रस्तोगी, पोते प्रजल रस्तोगी, एवं पोती एन्जिल रस्तोगी के साथ रहते हैं। वह सोने चांदी का कारोबार करते हैं। संजीव ने मंगलवार को आईपीएन को बताया कि तीन साल पहले एक एक मिट्ठू नाम का तोता पाला था।
जो पिंजरे में बंद रहता है और ज्यादातर कमरे के अंदर ही रख जाता है। तीन साल के दौरान सिर्फ अकेले रहने वाले तोते ने विगत 12 अप्रैल को पिंजरे के अंदर एक अंडा दिया। जिसे देख घरवाले अचंभित हो गए। यह बात उन्होंने पड़ोसियों को बताई तो उन्हें विश्वास नहीं हुआ। तब तक 16 अप्रैल को उसने दूसरा एवं 19 अप्रैल को तीसरा अंडा दिया। बिना साथी के ही तीन अंडे देकर तोते की इलाके में चर्चा जोरों पर है। वहीं, उसे देखने के लिए लोगों का दिनभर तांता लगा रहता है।

रात में सोते समय तोते के पिंजरे में कुछ नहीं था। सुबह सोकर उठे और पिंजरा देखा उसमे एक अंडा देखा। इसके बाद मिट्ठू ने दो अंडे और दिए। हमें विश्वास नहीं हो रहा कि यह सब कैसे हुआ। इसे चमत्कार या कुदरत का करिश्मा कहें। यह कहना था बरखा रस्तोगी का। वह तोते की कहानी दिनभर वहां आये लोगों को बताते नहीं थकती।[ad name=”HTML-1″]

Iyengar Marriage Rituals – Part Three

There are many interesting rituals, which take place during the Iyengar weddings. I have mentioned some of them here:

Metti

Metti is the silver toe ring worn traditionally by married women. It is one more outer symbol to signify that the woman is married apart from the ‘Thali’ the thread of marriage. During the ritual the groom’s younger brother has to sit on the ground and put the silver mettis on the toes of the bride. I think the younger brother here is like Lakshmana was to Sita. While putting Metti, he almost bows to his sister-in-law and literally touches her feet. Thereby showing that he will respect and obey his sister-in-law. At the same time the brother of the bride puts a ring on the finger of the groom. This occasion is also used to introduce both the brother of the groom and the brother of the bride to each other to come close and to become friends.

Unjal

This would remind one of Radha and Krishna on the swing or Goddess Lakshmi and Narayan on the swing. In fact, the bride and groom are almost treated like the god and the goddess and made to sit on the swing while the brides maids and the female relatives sing beautiful love songs around them. While sitting on the Unjal their feet is washed with milk and they are protected, from the evil eye, by circling a handful of coloured rice around their head and then throwing away ( the ritual of Podi Suttruvadhu). The Unjal also presents the beautiful couple together. It is hoped that they will unite and enjoy life together and life would be as smooth for them as swinging joyfully in a swing. This ritual is also meant to waive away the differences if any and to bring them together for a peaceful and happy life.

Arundati Partal

During the entire wedding ceremony there are a number of activities where attempt is made to develop an understanding between the couple and impart in them out traditional values. Arundati Partal (watching the Arundati Star). is one such ritual, which takes place before the mangalya dharanam. During the course of this ritual the groom takes the girl out in the open and shows her the ‘Arundati’ star on the horizon. Arundati was the wife of sage Vashista who became immortal as a star due to her devotion to her husband. Arundati shines in the sky near the sixth star in the collection ‘Great Bear’ (Sapta Rishi). The groom, while showing the star to the bride, requests her to be as ardent and as loving to him as Arundati.was to her husband.

Ammi Midhithal

Since the bride and the groom are to begin their life as householders, there is an introduction of the concept during the marriage rituals by the ritual of ammi midhithal. Ammi is the grinding stone, which is a basic kitchen implement in every Tamil household. In the days before mixies and grinders the Ammi was a most important part of idli, dosa, vada, chutney-eating Tamil households. When a house used to be built, the Ammi was one of the first things to be installed as one could not imagine entering a house without an Ammi. During the ritual the boy places the foot of the girl on the grinding stone and requests her to maintain the reputation of the house and the family. We also can say that she puts her foot firmly in the kitchen.

Thengai Urutal

In the ritual of ‘Thengai Urutal’ a coconut covered with turmeric is thrown at each other by the bride and the groom. While doing so the women from the both sides of the family sing songs asserting the superiority of their families. One is reminded of a Qawali-like situation where there is a competition of wits. This is done just as a joyful intervention and to familarise the families with the strengths and weaknesses of each other.

Nalangu

During Nalangu, two happily married women, carry a tray filled with water with turmeric and the lime which makes the water turn red. The feet of the bride and groom are washed with this water, while the women sing and praise the qualities of the girl. These two women are given gifts and money wrapped in the betel leaf. 

Panthu Villayatu

A ball made of flowers is rolled by the groom towards the bride which is returned by the bride while women continue to sing. This is also to familarise the boy and the groom with each other. This is a practice from the time of child marriage when the boy and girl were made to know each other by playing games.

Three hairstyles, one goal for World Player of the Year Ronaldo

World player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo finally found a style that was good luck for scoring. He gave Portugal a 2-1 win over Ghana when he slammed home the ball with his left foot in the 80th minute.

It was his first goal of this year’s tournament, but third different haircut. Thursday’s edition had the sides shaved down close with a line carved along one edge of a short Mohawk.

Ronaldo won’t get to show off any other on-field hairdos at this World Cup: Portugal was eliminated.

SUAREZ BIT ME!

The Adidas World Cup ad campaign with star players baring their teeth was always a bit iffy when it came to the image of Luis Suarez, considering his history of biting opponents on the pitch.

The shoe company was taking down the Suarez ads after he did it again against Italy, but as of early Thursday, one such poster was still up near Copacabana beach. Amused fans took photos of themselves in front of it appearing to be chomped by the Uruguay striker.

LUNCH BREAK

State employees in New York have permission to take an extra-long lunch break.

Governor Andrew Cuomo posted a letter to US coach Jurgen Klinsmann on Thursday saying he had approved an extra hour for lunch for all state employees starting at noon. That would allow them to watch the entire World Cup game against Germany.

BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?

South Korean coach Hong Myung-Bo says he believes in his players, not in a higher power.

Facing extremely long odds of advancing to the round of 16 going into a matchup with heavily favored Belgium, the stone-faced coach managed to break a smile when asked if he was relying on any divine intervention to help the team through.

As it turns out, the former captain for South Korea’s semifinal run at its home World Cup in 2002 isn’t big on that.

“I don’t have a religion so I don’t ask for divine help. I just look at my players and I believe in them,” he said. “Of course, there are players who have a religion and that could be a way that they get help as well.”

Earlier in the news conference, he was asked by a journalist is he could provide South Korea with a “miracle.”

“We will do what we can,” he said plainly. “I don’t know if you can call it a miracle but we will have to wait for the results.”

MISSING THE MATCH

Germany’s most prominent fan, chancellor Angela Merkel, won’t watch Thursday’s match between the country and the United States.

Merkel and other European Union leaders will be holding a solemn ceremony in Ypres, Belgium, to mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I as the game kicks off. They will then attend a working dinner on the first day of a two-day summit.

The German government says Merkel’s evening will be dedicated entirely to working with her European colleagues.

Merkel traveled to Brazil for Germany’s opening 4-0 win against Portugal and posed for photos with the team.
