hi Group,
	  Just subscribed to this group and surfed through few comments.
Sounds interesting with a soft buzz. As few members have put in their
imaginations and ideas, i find it amazing to share the same and
discover its value in terms of usability and feasibility.
will participate with plans shortly.

Hey Creativegarh Citizens

Hi!!!

Guess we're meeting after a long time today. Well, long weekends
surely do a lot of good things to people. No Sunday evening or Monday
morning blues for anybody. And, by gawd, nothing beats that feeling!

I'd like to kickstart this short and beautiful week by welcoming
Ranjan and Deepankar to Creativegarh. It simply feels great to have
both of you aboard.

We were at The India Internet World at Delhi last week and we spoke
to lots of people about Creativegarh. The idea excites most of them.
And in the days to come, you'll be seeing lots of new citizens at
Creativegarh. And this is just a start.

Building a community (and that too of ego-centric creative people)
takes a lot of time and patience. And for the moment, both these are
not luxury to us. But guess, we are moving in the right direction.
Slowly, yet steadily!

That's it for the moment from the Creativegarh desk.

Have a wonderful day and a brilliant week ahead.

Cheers

Creativegarhians or Creativegarhites??? Ooooopsssss!!! Gita even am
confused on this. Why don't we just stick to Creative Citizens.

Or does anyone have any other ideas on what they would like to be
addressed as? ;-)

Arun

Hey fellow creativegarhites (ians? what? moderator..... helllppppp),

I'm looking for freelance transcribers in bombay - ppl with lotsa
free time and access to a pc. (college kids would be perfect). They
would also need to know english and hindi pretty well.

The job is to transcribe short interviews, and we'll also pay :-)

So please get in touch with me asap, if you know someone who would be
interested in this.

And treat this as urgent pls (what isnt!!!)

Cheerio.

Chin-Chin Folks,

Another day in the beckoning. The passage of time is neverending and
the purpose of life is never sufficed. This is a sane out-burst of a
writer who feels that the very purpose of LIFE has been, is being and
will be lost if the Homo Sapiens do not act quick to retain the
essence of it. As you go further with the passage you would find a
number of debatable issues which might appear true for a few and
false for the rest. It hopes to bring into light the depleteing sense
of Brother-hood, caring and emotional induglence. This is not
directed at anyone is only reminds us of a nobel cause. I wish
everyone has a happy reading and wish for active contribution for
everyone. I thank CreativeGarh for letting me explore the
creative edge in me.

Cheers,
Kamal.

Where has the "Esprit de corps" been squandered?

This "cradle of humanity" has been the administrator for
anthropomorphic permanence for an incalculable epoch. There have been
conflicting educated guesses over the very survival of life on this
orb. We have passed through eons of life reorganizations and
reconstruction where saturation has been evoked. The age of
computers, artificial intelligence and robotic presence has been
miasmatic. Human genius is creating waves and ripples in the
technological strata and medical dictums, which might mitigate the
Homo Sapiens to work and probably "automate" the process of
childbearing. The androids and Martians might take over the Earth and
transmogrification in every walk of life will edict. There has been a
radical metamorphosis in the economy and psychology and it has been a
concavity in the human bindings and emotions. The human empathy has
been neglected since the time the Einstein and Newton have
procreated. The inventions and discoveries that have given rise to
the human comforts haven't considered the value of life. The Atom
Bomb, Nuclear Life and further more inventions have necessitated
power and supremacy but hasn't been conducive to the man. The
computers of the present day have urged the evolvement of Internet
and E-commerce. With this fast paced life and urban modernization,
humans have been very busy working and have forgotten the purpose of
life. The mind-boggling issue is where has the spirit of life dumped
itself? Everyone seems to is thinking "BIG" making it big and
living
big mesmerizing themselves that it is possible "but" if
everyone made
it big the world wouldn't be a small place to live in. Would it?
Human's can never be content with their position and possessions
in
life and are a lot concerned of having the whole and all. With the
higher shares, stock markets rising, partnerships taking way the
greed seems to be for the mullah forgetting human values. In the
rat's race to make it over one and other, people seem to forget
the
value of thought to reach the mouse hole first. What is the very
purpose of life when you cannot help and look back at your kith and
kin? Everyday seems to be increasingly stifle with everyone looking
at the worth he makes in the world and count the money, assets or
jewelry that he is worth. What is it going to get him? Are corpses
either in hell or heaven also rich? Does it pay in Abyss or Elysium
if you made millions forgetting all those intricacies of life? What
is the human getting out of earning so much money that he doesn't
want to spend, share or enjoy it himself in most cases? Forgetting
the quality time he has to spend towards fellow beings he mints money
to realize that he actually didn't know who Mrs. Copper's was
being
Mr. Copper. Is that what everyone is looking forward to? He makes
money inconsiderate of the time and purpose of the plethora. It
isn't
incorrect to dream or crave for the comforts, money and luxuries of
life, it's an achievement but shouldn't he think `bout
the ideology
of life? All he should remember is that there is a spirit of life to
live with through all his endeavors. All that this message aims is in
the blossoming "DOT COMS" and establishments crooning loudly
`bout
their success stories they don't deduct the manifestation of
human
values, emotions and life. It isn't aimed at a certain
condominium but it's a cry to all the intelligent animals skimpy of the
social and financial standing. It requests to the whole world to look at
their success stories and proficiencies including the spirit of life
and human emotions which would have definitely supported in the
upbringing. It calls for sharing, brotherhood, sociality and in
general being considerate. It's time everyone took a breather,
looked back at their lives and got back to their people, filled in the void
emotional gaps and let the close ones know that they would be always
there. Don't let go the human spirit in you lest the
"spirits" engulfed you…………?!

Personal message:
 	 "This isn't an mental outburst at any section of people and
isn't talked `bout loosely. This is a personal feeling penned
down…… so it isn't a mind's work. Everyone makes mistakes and
I'm trying to correct them not become perfect but to be a better living being.
I've lost my spirit of living, which I'm trying to gain and work back
to the people who care for me. I just wish everyone who reads this
didn't think otherwise but tried to understand the intensity of
human emotions. Everyone is loved and cared by someone or something,
somewhere or somehow ……. It's time you unraveled it! Think
`bout it……………."

_____________________________________________________________________

Day 10 was the big day…. I had to walk up to Shivling Lake at a
height 16,000 feet and the steep trek paid off penny wise on reaching
the lake. First reaction was that why the hell did I cover this
distance to see this god forsaken peewee lake but it wasn't what I
was looking for… I was looking for serenity and solace and soon
found
it. The water was crystal clear and I could actually find my image in
it. The sunlight on the snow was like a million lights lit up and I
was fighting the cold like I never did before. The journey downhill
did cause altitude sickness but the fact that I was soon approaching
the blue tops was even more lucrative.

The 11th day was our last day of the trek and it was going to be the
end of the walk we all longed to end. It was a special and emotional
parting with all the volunteers who were very helpful throughout our
treks. It was a happy walk down the hill as I sang Jack and Jill went
up the hill….. and soon I was back where I started. We had to
return
our bags and transfer our soiled clothes back into our bags again
since on the morrow we would be heading back to the mainland.

The 12th day was a day to cheer `bout, I was a proud trekker who had
completed the whole journey without a single blister. I was honored
with a certificate and badge as a token of appreciation. It was hard
parting but I had a life to live and I bid good bye to the people out
there. It was a journey back from where I started with taking a bus
back to kufri from sangla and then to Delhi.

The 13th day was a day for me to feel complete since I could take a
bath after 10 days, which I had never, done before and it was
definitely a delightful feeling. I spent an undisturbed 10 minutes
under the shower and it was definitely peaceful. We ate at some of
the best places and it wasn't long before we had to start back to
Mumbai. It was just another station scene from where I started this
documentary.

The 14th day was the last day of our camp and I would miss all the
people with whom I shared a plate, mug and hugs. It was very tough
parting with most of the people since they turned out to be more than
just friends instead they turned habits. That was the end of a very
novel experience and a memorable one. I don't think many would be
lucky to experience such an adventure filled trip and my piece of
advice is though tough it is an experience to be only felt.

Alas! A journey of a thousand miles ends with a step….

Life is a Journey, Travel it well.

Jai Shivaji , Jai Bhavani ….. Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji Ganapathi
Papa
Moriya, Mangala Moorthi Moriya, Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

__________________________________________________________________

The 6th day was the beginning of the end and we had to pick up our
backpacks and march along in pursuit for the next blue tops - a camp!
Games people play was the punch line and it was a never ending
journey to the camp 1. The bag got heavier by the step and I was
doing the Herculean task of carrying the so called world on my back
only to realize that it was my diminutive bag and not the earth!

The potion of eternity in a different color was served again and God
blesses the waiter! The evening was a stroll uphill to find wood for
the campfire. The night was very exhaustive with a campfire but was
definitely entertaining. Brick in the wall and sweet child o' mine
were the songs of the wolves. My taste buds were singing the song one
more time …. With south Indian cuisine being the food for thought!

The next day was again a day for the trekker who when up the hill to
the camp 2. It was again a quest for the blue tops and this time the
journey was no different from the rest. I started understanding that
life was being very harsh on me…. I pay money and all I do is
walk???
Chinese cuisine was the attraction in the hills and I felt that
should I walk so much to eat American Chopsuey and Chow Mein? They
had a very bad logic of locating the tents on a hill and the food at
the foot of it. They would basically show us a chunk of meat and we
had no option but walk down the hill to find that it was a roti and
nothing fleshy! Life was getting really bad and the 7th day was just
another day.

The 8th morning called in for more walking with our campsite in
charge walking us to the snow clad mountains and I was a jackass of a
kind to follow him as though I hadn't ever experienced snow… I
felt
like a snowman at the end of the snow craft trip. It was the 8th day
and I was feeling much better with the fact that I would be seeing my
home soon but the fact that I would be missing all the cool heads was
definitely concerning.

The 9th day was better since I could elude myself of the eccentric
idea of walking down the hill for food, hog myself till I could take
no more and then walk up the Everest! We had a so-called experienced
novice (oxymoron) to trek us to the camp 3. If we had to travel from
camp2 to camp3 we took a walk in the thorns with walking camp4, camp5
and camp6 and so on to camp3. I could never understand the woods
woman logic! The camp3 hadn't much to offer except for colder winds.

Day 10 was the big day... (to be continued)

The first test had already begun with my group leader asking me to
carry my luggage... I instantaneously went abreast the last journey I
had made when I ordered the porter to do the work and here I was
being the porter myself. I cursed for being on the trip not realizing
that is was the beginning of a porter's profession for a lifetime.
Being a slow mover I was left with the last row of seats in the so-
called deluxe liner basically I didn't have a choice. It was a roller
coaster and bumpy ride through the night, which definitely called for
a bonesetter. I imagined it was somewhat a ghastly state of the art
roller coaster ride, which I had experienced.

The 3rd day was definitely chilly calling in for some winter
protection (sounds weird considering the sweltering heat wave running
across the country) and there you could see people wearing woolen
clothes as though they had been deserted some where in the arctic
region. It was a nostalgic feeling running through me since I had
made it to the same place a few years ago and I was trying to look
for familiar Pan Walla across my dorm. I called my parents and
informed them that I hadn't taken bath for 2 days. I was longing for
a kulfi that I never relished in kufri. Local sight seeing at my
expense was the order of the day. The evening got chillier and it
called for a cozy sleeping bag to cuddle into. Eureka! After repeated
efforts and feuds I won myself a hot shower I was longing for and let
the rest of the souls live in peace from my natural scents. My group
leader informed me that I was supposed to hit the bed early and get
off it early which turned quite opposite.


The early morning fog made me feel like a fat man smoking a Cuban
cigar in America! (Keep dreaming!) I had to fall in 3's with the rest
and was informed `bout the day's bumps and turns to come and were
asked to get prepared for it. The journey was scenic and frightening.
Everyone was living on the edge literally and we had group pukes all
the way long. I was lucky not have puked and I was proud of myself.
It was the 4th day and it was evening by the time we reached our
devil's own. I could have the first scent of my walk for a lifetime
experience coming true. The base camp was a little 2 km away from the
mainland and I had to carry myself, a ton of stuff with a torch in
one hand and nothing in the other. I waded and wobbled myself through
the woods looking for Robin Hood only to be heart broken. The blue
tops of the campsite was a blessing in disguise and made me feel that
I was the lucky one to vision the Lord.

It was a tough, cold and dark walk with an uncomfortable duffel bag
but the mere fact that I reached the destination was far more
satisfying. I was welcomed in a way even the Clinton wouldn't have
experienced with the potion of eternity - Rasna! And that made me
feel on the top of the world. Hospitality was the word of the evening
but I was looking at "hospital" -ity. Hot soup and sumptuous food had
paid off for the pain I was put through. Authority took me in
instructing me `bout the fundas of camp. The jarring and out of the
world funda was that I had to experience the joy of a squat in a no
man's world at a radius of 1 km and the very thought was disgusting.
I had to rest in peace for the night in a tent with 16 guys and 2
rugs.

The 5th morning seemed a better day for my legs and body. Bed tea was
served and bless the waitress was all I could do. Tea was the
laxative for the people around and they were running every rock and
shrub for a peaceful pressure exit. Rucksacks were issued and
breakfast served. The campsite in charge drew some pictures in my
mind `bout the place Sangla which left me in a tangled web. Drinking
point, Washing point and dump pits were all I was reciting.
Acclimatization walk (sounds futuristic!) Until you experience it. 12
km was a walk I would never recommend for a novice like myself with
baby feet…..The next half of the day was engrossing with group
activities and a campfire to heat things up in the night. Blisters
were the keyword for the junta and operation Poke-mon was being
carried out. Plasters, Band-Aids, gauze, and cotton it all seemed
like an emergency ward.

The 6th day was the beginning of the end and we had to pick up our
backpacks and march along in pursuit for the... (to be continued)

<b>Memoirs of a thinned down trekker</b>

It all started on the bustling, sweltering hot and sweating Bombay
Central Terminus when the clock struck 9:00 and everything seemed
nice and fine. The Indian Railways were already doing their job with
the train running on time (pun intended) and the hawkers busy with
their business plethora. The lights were fading and the people
suffocating. The toughest part of a journey was being carried out
well - Parting! People seemed to be filled with mixed emotions some
happy, some sad, some sorrowful and some jubilant. You could hear the
hungry baby cry and the beggar's words of wisdom for his alms.

It wasn't long before the wheels of dreams set off in it's
bygone "Ishtyle". You could hear to the young kid's fading footsteps
trying to have a last glimpse of his mother through the window and
the cheer leading of a few others, good byes of the rest… The
whole
thing seemed very true and by the time I could draw a conclusion out
of that I was being hustled away as it is was that time of the day -
sleep!

The amateur snores and the hardcore ones were like a clarion call at
the wrong time of the day Ah! What a show! I was too tired and
exhausted to help myself from the roars of Africa. I attempted a
quite conversation with my "eat a lot walk a lot" counterpart only to
be considered a weirdo. Even a reserved ticket didn't help which was
obvious since we believed in national integrity and as many as we
could for a single ticket. Hidden fears wouldn't let me sleep and I
was the unpaid night watchman for the compartment. I drew paranoiac
pictures from the stars above, which wouldn't mind it but would
twinkle back at me and enjoy the moonlit midnight. I passed the
Night without a wink of sleep as if I had to give an unprepared brain
anatomy examination.

I got merrier as the first beams of sunlight saw the day and there
you could see the people with their morning ablutions. The gargling,
sneezing, cleansing and the rest had nauseated enough, for me to
dream that only if it could be darkness again. It was the already the
second day and I was gearing up to get acquainted with the rest of
the troop. There were a few eye catchers and few eyedroppers. The day
was scorching and scalding. All you could see was barren land and few
shrubs giving a complete Sahara effect! People ate and ate and ate
till they couldn't eat any more. All I could do was quench my thirst
and the sight of food was unappealing. At last we made it to our
first destination (Delhi) at 7:00 p.m. where I had to hurry out of
the train unless I wanted to visit the Golden Temple.

The first test had already begun with my group leader asking me to
carry my luggage... I instantaneously went abreast the last journey I
had made when... (to be continued in Part 2)

Hey Creativegarh citizens

Hiiiiiiiii!!!!

How have all of you been? The weekend is round the corner so most of
you must be planning a getaway. Or are all of you (like most most
creative people are known to do) gonna be slogging out at your work-
places. Whatever you choose to do, we at Creativegarh wish you a
fantabulous weekend!!!

But before you all of you pack your bags and get ready to move, we
got some bad news for you. ALL OF YOU HAVE SOME HOMEWORK TO DO OVER
THE WEEKEND! [Ooooooooops! do I see most you heading straight for
the 'Unsubscribe from Creativegarh" button??]

Hey hey hey... chill out folks, it's not all that bad. Just thought
we'll answer some questions that all of you been having about how to
post, and reply to messages.

It's simple. To post messages, the recommended option is to go to the
Creativegarh homepage on egroups. [
http://www.egroups.com/group/creativegarh ] Once you sign in into
egroups, click on My Groups and Creativegarh will be right there
under your nose! And the first button on the left says "POST" Click
on that, follow the easy 'email-like' steps and
voilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! your message is posted. The other option
is to send an email to creativegarh@egroups.com but personally, we
won't recommend this option.

How to reply to messages? That's even simpler! Once you get into 'My
Groups' on the egroups page, click on Creativegarh. The new page will
show you a number of headers / links on the left side! Click
on 'Messages', find the message you want to reply to by subject,
follow easy 'email-like steps... and there!! you've replied!

And how to reply directly to the author of the message??? Come on
people, just shoot him / her an email!!!

That's it! Simple! Isn't it? So, over the weekend, all of you HAVE TO

Dear wonderful Creativegarh citizens,

Hi!

Congratulations to all of you! Why??? Hey come on, your community
completes one whole week today. So, it's time to cheer and
congratulate ourselves.

And on the day of our anniversary, I welcome Manish and Ashim to the
Creativegarh community. It's feels great to have you people at
Creativegarh!

No 'What is creativegarh?' spiel today. No asking you to
request 'creative' friends and collegues to join Creativegarh.
No 'Please post messages' requests today. And no 'typos' today ;-)
Because today is celebration time, and the Creativegarh team is going
partying. And hey, all of you are invited!

That's all for now!

cheers

Hey Creativegarh citizens

Sorry for all those typos and other errors in yesterday's digest. But
you see, things like these are bound to happen when one is really
excited about something. Like all of us at Creativegarh are, about
Creativegarh!

But still, they were ERRORS and no... we wen't trying to get creative
with spellings or the english language. ;-)

Cheers

Hi friends,

We are called "The Lightcycle" - a small teeny weenie company that
recycles junk and converts it into lamps. This message comes to you
for two reasons.

1. If any of our friends (preferable in Delhi) in this forum have
some junk (old auto parts, broken cutlery, cracked washbasins, fused
bulbs, old chairs, vases, broken mirrors etc.) which they or anyone
would have no use of.. lying around in their attics, stores, garages.
And they would like to dispose the same off, please get in touch with
us at above address and we'll have it picked up. And belive
us, we'll turn that junk into something beautiful for you.

2. We are also setting up a website to exhibit and sell our products.
Please check out http://www.thelightcycle.com and leave your email
addresses with us. We'll get in touch with you the moment we go live.

Thanks and regards

The Lightcycle Team

Hey Creativegarh Citizens,

Hi!

Sorry pals... there has been some configuration problems between your
favourite community (ahm! ahm!) and egroups' servers in the last few
days. That's why we've not been able to receive, send or moderate any
posts. And over 15 registrations have been stuck somewhere in egoups' servers.
Hopefully, we will be back to normal in a day or so.
Teething problems, I would say!

So, how has the week been progressing for all you? Well, I'd like to
kick-start the midweek and kick off the Wednesday morning blues by
welcoming Sumant, Robin, Sam, Rachna, Anu and Ekasha to the
creativegarh community. It's great to have all of you aboard pals.
And we hope that that this relationship taht you have initiated with
us today goes a long long way and is beneficial for all of us.

A few of my friends have been asking me lately "Hey, am not a
creative person... so, how do I fit into Creativegarh?" It's really
sad that today, the definition of 'creativity' is just restricted to
the arts. Or to the conventional creative professions. No!
Creativegarh is not only about the arts. It's about doing and
appreciating things that are unconventiontional. Of finding new
solutions to mundane everyday problems. It about discovering,
nurturing, exchanging and appreciating ideas and talent that are way
beyond the ordinary. And even different in the minimalistic way
possible. Creativegarh is all about bringing such passionate people
and ideas together.

If any of you have any thoughts on how we can make Creativegarh the
finest community of its kind... please feel free to use this forum to
voice your ideas. Just shoot a mail to creativegarh@egroups.com

That's all for the moment. I'd again request all of you to ask
your 'creative' friend to join this community - one which is (as my
country cousin says) "thoda sa hat kay".

Cheers
