Cairo City, Egypt

CAIRO

Cairo is a vibrant, exhilarating, exotic, fascinating and welcoming city. Home to the best Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic sights in Egypt, this city is where you never know what incredible, half-forgotten monument you might stumble across while wandering around. Enjoy the Nile view from your hotel room balcony, visit the capital's medieval markets by Khan El-Khalili, or walk down the Nile promenade. There are also plenty of cinemas, theatres and modern malls. Go for an opera or enjoy oriental music dance shows. Good for short breaks and long stays; you’ll get to see the Giza Pyramids, thousands of ancient artifacts in the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities and much more.

Moreover, Cairo is for everyone, there are plenty of mid range and budget accommodations to choose from. Pick a charming boutique hotel in the heart of downtown or indulge in utter luxury in one of the city’s most luxurious establishments. These usually house professional Spas and wellness centres where you’ll be treated like royalty. There are more than 75 four and five-star hotels in Cairo, which all offer stunning views over amazing landmarks such as the majestic Nile, the Pyramids, beautiful parks and gardens, and upscale clubs and compounds.

The weather in Cairo is moderate and low in humidity at almost any time of the year, except for some specific times in summer. Highs of 36°C are common in July and lows of 21°C have been witnessed; the winter months in Cairo, especially January, are much more pleasant with temperatures ranging between 21°C and 15°C. Accommodation by the Nile offers some relief from the summer heat due to the lovely breeze that comes from the river. In March, April, and June the Khamaseen winds blow from the desert bringing with them higher temperatures and sand. - See more at: http://en.egypt.travel/city/index/cairo#sthash.rXSqRXyS.dpuf

Kaziranga National Park

Kaziranga National Park is spread over 858 sq.kms and is located in the floodplains on both sides of the Brahmaputra. Patches of mixed deciduous forests are interspersed with vast stretches of savannah grasslands, wetlands and chars of river islands formed by the shifting course of the Brahmaputra.
The park is divided into five ranges - Central (entry point at Kohora), Western (entry point at Bagori), Eastern (at Agratoli), Western-most Burha Pahar (at Ghorakati) and Northern. The first four lie on the southern side of the river while the last is on the northern bank.
A memorable way of exploring Kaziranga is on eleplant-back as these gentle creatures tread through the tall grass. The park's prized possessions, the rhinos, are usually found in good numbers grazing with deer and buffaloes.
Another option is to see the park is to take the jeep safari which is also highly recommended, as it offers the added benefit of covering a vast expanse in a relatively short span of time.
While on safari, visitors to the park are well advised not only to abide by park etiquettes but also to bear in mind its conserbation history, officially counted as the most successful conservation initiative in the sub continent in the 20th century (Kaziranga Centenary: Celebrating the Century's Greatest Success Story, 2005)
Originally established as a reserve forest in 1908, Kaziranga was declared a sanctuary in 1916 to counter extensive poaching of the rhinoceros. In 1974, the Indian Government demarcated the present area as a national park. Then, in 2007, it was declared a tiger reserve under the Central Government's Project Tiger scheme.
The Park is the abode to more than 70% of One Horned Rhinoceros in the world. Highest density of tigers' prey including the large prey biomass of tiger found in the country. Harbours more than 60% of India's wild buffalo population along with the only population of the Eastern Swamp deer and seven species of turtles and tortoises. The other important wildlife found are - Leopard, Fishing Cat, other Lesser cats, Large Indian
Civet, Small Indian Civet, Sambar, Barking deer, Hog deer, Gaur, Hog Badger, Hoolock Gibbon, Capped Langur, Assamese Macaque, Rhesus Macaque, Sloth Bear, Gangetic Dolphin and Otter etc
The park also has a sizeable population of birds. Home to 25 Globally Threatened and 21 Near Threatened species of birds. Huge flocks of pelicans and rose-ringed parakeets can be spotted here besides crested serpent eagles, grey-headed fishing eagles, red jungle fowl, Bengal floricans, bar-headed geese and whistling teals.
More than 150 perennial water bodies are located inside the Park, where water level fluctuates temporally resulting in the generation of a very rich aquatic floral diversity. More than 32 species of flora have so far been identified.  More than 60 species of fishes have been recorded and is the breeding ground of many of the local species.

Kitaabain Jhankti Hain band almari ke Sheeshon se

Kitaabain Jhankti Hain Band Almari Ke Sheeshoon Se


Kitaabain jhankti hain band almari k sheeshoon se,


bhari hasrat se takti hain maheenon ab mulaqaatain nahi hoti,


jo shamaain un ki suhbaat main katta karti thein,

ab aksar guzar jati hain computer k pardoon par,

badi bay chain rehti hain kitaabain

inhain ab neend main chalnay ki aadat hogai hai,

badi hasrat se takti hain jo qadrain jo woh sunatein thein,

ke jin ke sal kabhi martay nahi thein

woh qadrain ab nazar aati nahi ghar main



jo rishtay woh sunati thein woh saray udhrhay udhrhay hain

koi safha palat ta hoon to ik siski nikalti hay

kai lafzoon k mainee gir paray hain

bina patoon k sookhay dhund lagtay hain woh sab alfaaz

jin pe ab koi maani nahi hotay

bohat sii istalhain hain jo matti k sokorron ki tarah bikhri pari hain

classon main unhain makri ka dala




zaban pe jo aata tha zaiqa safhay paltnay ka

ab ungli click karnay se aik jhapki guzarti hai

bohat sa teh ba teh khulta chala jata hai

kitaboon se jo zaati rabta tha, kat gaya hai



kabhi seenay par rakh kar lait jate thay

kabhi goudi main laytay thay

kabhi guthnoon ko apnay rehal ki sorat bana kar

neem sajday main parha kartay thay,chotay thay jabeen se



Khuda nay chaha to woh sara ilm milta rahay ga baad main bhi

magar woh jo kitaabon main mila kartay thay sookhay phool



kitabain mangnay girnay uthanay k bahanay rishtay

bantay thay un ka kia hoga!!!??/!!!



woh shayad... ab nahiin hoon gay!!


Kitaabain Jhankti Hain
