Gobbling Food or our Culture?





                                                                  Dear Readers,



It is needless to be laud enough for Rajsthan, I had been to there many a times for shooting and traveling purpose and visited a food and cultural place, called ‘CHOKHI DHAANI’; few kilometers away from Pink City Jaypore. A wonderful concept of food and rejoice together for 365 days , mammoth visitors from all parts of globe, will give you a feeling of mini World Mela out there. It is proclaiming the versatility of their rich food, culture and life-style in one place. This is too acclaiming the beauty of  Rajsthani  colorfulness and hospitality, that is what they are grabbing 70%  tourists out of India’s total foreign visitors.

Thank God I was not fainted down eating so much of food like Makki ki Roti,  Mirch ka Achar, the real home made Makhan, Daal-bati-churma, Lassi and so many. You will have to eat all these verity roaming around more then three four hours  riding Horse, Camel, Elephant, Bullock-cart in that cultural village. A very reasonable price which is being taken at the entrance, then eating is provided with so much of  love prepared in front of you by Grandma looking ladies and Bhai-logs; so you just can’t get rid of eating and eating and eating! At the same time every where you will find all kinds of cultural Dhamakas!  played by the local youngsters and winsome artists, really mind blowing!



 Chokhi Dhani in Rajsthani means ‘Small Village’, but I will say that small village is 100 times better than the food and culture of our big cities. Sorry, I never mean to denigrate any one because I am part of it. But I am not the person to enterprise or recreate a business and cultural place out here like that. Here  people have money, and they are venturing out Pizza-hut, McDonalds, KFC and so many bullshit non Indian concepts. Hardly anybody coming forward to restore our ethnic life-style, food, culture  and promoting  so many other things, which we are missing since our childhood . If our Govt. has any roll to encourage this kind of a Cultural Amusement Centre in our state or have their vission to do their own, Readers you please suggest!
