Our city has the finest restaurants which serve a variety of international cuisines but nothing beats the tandoori roti and butter chicken of the dhabas that gives you a gastronomic experience that is one of its kind. Similarly, when we arrive at a party or a club we show off our “gangsta” dance moves while drake or Niki Minaj are crooning in the background but 30 minutes into the party and we are killing it with our bhangra on a badshah or a Yo Yo Honey Singh track. Basically, this city and its people are downright “Desi” at heart and absolutely proud of it.

So there are a few things that one should not miss when visiting this city.

A visit to Panjab University & the celebrated student Centre or “Stu-c”

This University is my alma mater but I truly feel that this landmark place is totally worth a visit not only because of its historical and architectural significance but just to experience the bustling energy and the aura of this place. Also, you cannot miss the lip-smacking food of stu-c which is a mini food court for students and I’m not bluffing when I say that you can satisfy your palate as well as your tummy under 150 bucks at this place.

Sukhna lake- Our very own Marine Drive

The Sukhna lake is Chandigarh’s prized possession and a walk along this reservoir during the evening with the cool wind blowing in your face gives the most soothing feeling. Being a famous tourist attraction, it is thronged by sketch artists, vendors of all kinds, street musicians and other entertainers to attract the crowd. The facility of boating is also available but nothing beats the serene sunrise and the beautiful sunset at the lake which adds to its scenic beauty.

The Himalayan Expressway and Timber trail

The smooth highway that connects Chandigarh to Shimla offers a fun drive through the mountains. The timber trail resort nestled in the hills of parwanoo acts as the perfect pit stop for the city dwellers looking for a weekend getaway. The main attraction of this resort lies in the 1.8 km cable car ride to a mountain top with its breathtaking and picturesque view of the mountain scenery.

The Sector 8-9-10 Gehri Route

While talking of drives, it shall be catastrophic not to mention the sector 8-9-10 stretch which is full of youngsters cruising in their fancy cars with the music blaring. The lively atmosphere of this area grows on you and uplifts your spirit.

A stroll through the Rock Garden and the Rose garden

Chandigarh is full of gardens and open spaces but the world famous Rock Garden is one of its Kind. It is considered as the brainchild of the renowned artist Nek Chand who built sculptures from scrap and recycled waste material to create art. These sculptures situated in the garden are a work of ingenuity and beauty which tends to leave people awestruck. Similarly, Rose Garden is a paradise for nature lovers and gardening enthusiasts with the variety of exquisite flowers and other flora on display.

Experience culture at Tagore Theatre

The highly acclaimed Tagore theatre hosts the finest plays and theatrical performances in the country.  Local as well as international artists can be found mesmerizing the audience by exhibiting their talent here.  This place is sheer bliss for dramatics and theatre fanatics and the recitals here are a visual treat for the eyes.

Shopping Spree at sector 17

The first thing anybody associates with Chandigarh is sector 17. It is glorified in many songs as well and rightly so because it pretty much forms the essence of this city. No mall or Branded shopping complex can compare to the shopping experience you get in this place. The vivacious vibes which this place exuberates is infectious and you cannot help feeling a sense of happiness while visiting sector 17. From phulkari and Punjabi juttis to high-end fashion accessories, you will find anything and everything here.

I can go on and on about a hundred other things to do in Chandigarh because there is so much more to this city but I’m going to sign off with one last thought that Chandigarh is indeed city beautiful in every way, you got to breathe it, live it, experience it and you shall surely fall in love with it!

The past few weeks have changed the course of the lives of not only farmers but many other classes of people as well. 

Chapter embossed in Indian History

For many of us who are visiting Singhu Border for a day to drop of donations; the whole panorama may look like a lot of fun. But indeed it is part of some serious history being written by a few thousands of farmers who have worked all their life in the Hazy fields. 

Neither I belong to the family of a farmer, Nor am I a Sikh, But being a child of the Holy ground Sri Muktsar Sahib, which is part of Sikhism History, and being Punjabi by blood, I have incorporated the three pillars of Sikhism into my soul at a very early age. These pillars are “Naam Japo, Kirat Kro, Te Wand Chako” 

Loosely translated to as, 

Naam Japo: Thank God, for what he has given us

Kirat Karo: Work Hard and earn with Honesty

Wandd Chakho: Always share what you have with the community, be it food, wealth, or else

These three things were seen at the Singhu Border. If someone asks me, these are pillars of not only Sikhism but humanity.

There are speeches all through the day at Singhu, the roar among the people is awe-gasping. You can spot stalls of Chai, kheer, langar. The meals at Singhu are no less than a sumptuous lunch. 

Ekam: Everyone is equal

The langars are not just feeding the farmers camping at the Singhu border, But also other underprivileged people who live near the protest site. The countless homeless people of Delhi who are often ignored by the world struggled for even one square meal a day before the protest.

Langars at Singhu are for everybody. These feasts are especially is being enjoyed by the young outcasts rag pickers of Delhi who lived near the border. For these poor kids, there is more than enough rag to bag. The langars provide them food, they only dreamt of earlier.

From pinniyan, laddo, dry fruits to Pizza & Coke, the langars ensured nor children or adults around singhu sleeps with the growling tummy. The langars treat provides them with three meals a day and tea served with fruits, matri, biscuits, Zarda, and more. The kids are happy because they can eat as much they want, whenever they want.

The disposed plates also ensure the livelihood of these ragpickers as they don’t have to travel far for the scarp collection.

“We live nearby only. We are very happy as we are getting to eat many things including sweets and different dishes every day. It feels like a fair and we are very happy because of this, ” said Ravi, a 12-year-old who lives near the protest site.

A Caravan Carnival

Apart from langars, the NGOs, volunteers, Activist and some of the anonymous donors from all over the nation has been contributing to the protest site so much, that one now can call Singhu border – A Caravan Carnival

• When Internet Jammers were installed at Singhu Border to halt the spread of protest via Social Media, an anonymous contributor with the alias “Aapka Abhishek” installed a Wi-Fi hot spot and written the login ID and password on several cardboard pieces, hung from strings.
• When elderly farmers protested all day long, Khalsa Aid came forward to install 25-foot massagers. 
• When rain-filled clouds started hovering, 400-bed waterproof tent house and some Geysers were also set up by the same NGO.
• When the temperature drop caused the slow cooking of food, 15-foot-tall steam boilers were brought from Gurudwaras to help prepare the food in no time.
• When Mosquitos attacked, Volunteer Sahib Singh & Surmail Singh with the slogan “Kachua jalao, Machar bhagao” distributed mosquito repellent coils.
• When Clothes were becoming dirty with the dust and dirt, Jagjit Singh & his friends and another group of 12 sportsmen of Panjab and Haryana came forward to do laundry of the mighty farmers. Both the groups installed separate stations with washing machines which run 10 hours daily. They collect clothes with the details of the campsite of the person and give them a token to collect their belonging afresh later.

• When sportsperson, Pehelvan (wrestlers), celebrities, and youngsters started joining the protest, makeshift gyms were set up by Volunteer Aman so the sportsperson can workout and stay healthy and fit amidst protest.
• Regular Dental Camps, Pizza Langars, Blood test sites, Medicine camps, etc are also common sites at Singhu Border.
• At the moment, the langar every day sees 25 quintal rice, 20 quintal dal, and 10 quintal salt, with more donated every day. Cooks said they also make aloo gobi or aloo matar sabzi every day. And more ration keeps on pouring every day

What Day looks Like at Singhu?

Every morning, people pray. Shabad and religious rituals are a part of the routine at Life at Singhu. While some start ahead on making Chai and Pakora, others take bath and sit on Dharnas. They take turns with the kitchen duties and the screaming slogans of supporting the farmers. The speeches go on all day long, so does langars. 

Also, One cannot miss the horses stationed with Nihang Sikhs. The horses forms a barricade protecting the farmers, and every once in a while they showcase their skills and tricks as well for light entertainment.

The horses are a “show of power” and often portrays the pride the Punjabi manifest. Young Teenage boys doing Gatka- ancient martial arts can also be spotted around.

Communal Harmony in the midst of the Protest

The most beautiful sight which can be seen at the protest is the langar of Zarda Pulao. Zarda is a dish associated with Muslim cultures mainly being cooked on special occasions like weddings. Zarda langar set up my Muslim community of Malerkotla is their way to show support to their Farmer brothers. 

During the Partition in 1947, Malerkotla was the only district in Punjab that did not see any violence. the Muslim majority of Malerkotla opted to remain in India. 

History says, when the sons of Guru Gobind Singh, Sahibzada Fateh Singh and Sahibzada Zorawar Singh, were ordered to be tortured by the governor of Sirhind, the nawab of Malerkotla, Sher Mohammed Khan, opposed the order, earning the respect, support, and blessings of the tenth Sikh guru.

 Today, the newer generations are strengthening the message of Intercommunal brotherhood.

Take a Note…

Our intention is not to glorify the activities and the amenities available at Singhu. All we want to put a spotlight on is the Community Spirit and Unity of farmers. These are a mere example of “KisaanEkta”

As of now, adulthood has taught us that nothing around us ever is one-sided. There exists a silver lining everywhere.

All these things mentioned above may have provided some relief to protesters, but the protest ain’t end yet. The Nation had seen the brutal batoning done to farmers by the army men.

The Caravan Carnival is an outsider’s perception, but if one may go to the farmer and ask, had they ever imagined their life turning to be here, at the empty road, under the stars within these scenarios, amidst a Pandemic? 

They don’t know when they will go back, they don’t know if the govt. will ever knell down or at least make a mind to listen to them without being biased. They don’t know if their lives will become the same ever again.

All they know now is, they are here. The Singhu border is their home until the three farm laws are withdrawn. 

They are living in the Brutal and Harsh Delhi winter. They sleep on-road or under their tractors when the night temperature falls below 3 degrees. Just, picture in your head, an elderly farmer sleeping in the cold wintery night, for what? For the sake of his democratic right!!

Bear in mind, there have been deaths too. The singhu had seen 14 deaths in the two weeks. On average, one death per day. 

The Nation is With You!

Every day thousands of more farmers and individuals come to join the protest. Although, I prefer to use the world revolution. Actor & Singer, Diljit Dosanjh has been backing up the protest since the beginning. From Twitter war with Kangna Ranuant, to giving savage answers to the people slamming Pizza langars, he has been a constant voice of farmers on Twitter. He was not merely a twitter warrior.

He has himself experienced the life at Singhu for a day and has donated Rs. 1Cr for the cause and intention of distributing essentials to the protestors.

Diljit Dosanjh inspired people to stand for what you believe, Fearlessly.

Apart from him, many other Punjabi industry celebrities visited the Singhu border to show support to the farmers. Some of them are Gurdas Mann Ji, Babbu Mann Ji, Nooran Sisters, Gippy Grewal, Jassi Gill, Parmish Verma, Ranjit Bawa, Amrit Mann, Ammy Virk, and the list goes on…

Sportspersons like Boxer Vijender Singh and Cricketer Mandeep Singh– Captain of Kings XI Punjab along with many other athletes, wrestlers of Punjab and Harayana have also been part of the protest.

The famous 19-year old Melbourne based Punjabi Kudi and Spokesperson @moosejattana also have been actively participating in the protest. 

9-Year old Child environmental Activist, Licypriya Kangujam from Manipur has also been staying at Singhu to be a part of the Protest. 

NGOs like Khalsa Aid have been contributing a lot and helping these farmers live smoothly at the Border. 

Another NGO – People Against Rapes in Inda (PARI) has been supplying the sanitary pads for the women protesters.

Support from Chandigarh

Most of the celebrities of Punjabi industries are from the city beautiful itself. Apart from them, Panjab University’s first women president Kanupriya joins the farmers’ protest at Singhu border.

Chandigarh Based NGO – I am still Human is constantly standing with the farmers. The founder of I am still Human, Mr. Vivek Mehra, and his team is making regular visits at the Singhu border to donate blankets, sanitary pads, masks, sanitizers, toothpaste, and other essentials.

Chandigarh based famous Hip-Hop Duo Kru172 has been camping at the Singhu border for a week. They have been updating all the insider information from the protest site on their official Twitter and Instagram handles @kru172

From sleeping under the stars to experiencing rains & storms, they have been standing with the farmers with their total-commitment. The duo is known for their one-of-kind music and has a huge fan base outside India. Recently, in the support of the protest and nationwide boycott of Reliance products as called by the BKU, they took down their music from JioSaavn. 

Hailing from the family of farmers, their support, dedication, and involvement in the protest deserves an applaud. 

Of course, the list of Supporters and Protesters is endless. The agitation of the protest is increasing day by day. The farmers are ready to make singhu their new home as long as it takes the government to kneel. While the government is in no mood to make some serious decisions.

Rishabh’s journey is a unique tale on how determination & grit can help combat even the toughest battles of life. Rishabh was diagnosed with a grave heart disease (Hyperlipidemia Type 2 A, which further lead to an aortic valve stenosis ) when he was just 6 months old. He also suffers from intermittent mobility issues but Rishabh just keeps managing to strive through it all.

In any ordinary case, this would have led to one being bedridden for most of their lives owing to a constant influx of medical treatments & hospital visits, but Rishabh chose to write his own story albeit differently. He accepted his hospital visits as a part of his unique life but did not let this stand in the way of achieving any of his dreams.

He decided that instead of giving in to his situation, he would use it as an inspiration to rise above it. Every day despite all his challenges, Rishabh would strive to live life to the fullest and he is doing so with all his heart!

He did have to work twice as hard as any of his peers but as a result, he was able to create a life that served as an inspiration not only to him but also to the thousands of readers who enjoy his stories each day. Since his younger days, Rishabh vowed to not let his ailments become the centre of his own story, rather he chose to fight the battle & pushed himself to create compelling content.  For it is his struggles that give his expression an unparalleled depth.

Rishabh’s personal philosophy of life is to live each day to his fullest. While he was surrounded by grim situations, he chose to keep his focus on the light at the end of each tunnel and kept creating beautiful content in the form of art & literature. Each brush stroke and each written word serve as a reminder that no matter how tough life may become, it is always possible to find joy and beauty. This is the message that he wishes to emanate to all those who read his works.

Writing a book requires serious discipline apart from the craft of storytelling; this is one of the best instances of how Rishabh used his sheer will to achieve his goals. He has managed to successfully write and publish 3 fictional books while balancing doctor’s appointments, hospital visits, business meetings & new ventures.

Despite limiting physical afflictions, Rishabh has successfully graduated from the prestigious Middlesex University and joined his family business. Apart from managing a flourishing multi-national business,  Rishabh is a published author with 3 published books to his credit; a self-taught painter and a web series producer.

In 2016 he wrote his first manuscript and never thought that it would ever be published. In 2017, the book was finally published with the title, “Inside the Heart of Hope” which was somewhat inspired from his own life and was taken very well by the audiences. He then went on to write two more novels called  ‘Flying Without Wings’ and ‘Seductive Affairs’. His writings are mostly centred on Hope, Love, Life; almost what our mankind needs in the recent times.

Driven by curiosity, Rishabh loves to meet new people and explore the world. He is an avid traveller, a supercar enthusiast and also enjoys cooking and watching sitcoms & movies whenever he has time.

Rishabh makes his home in Lagos, Nigeria and Dubai, U.A.E where he stays for most of the year with his family. He keeps coming back to India and stays in Chandigarh, his birthplace, which is so close to his faulty heart for obvious reasons.  He has been working since the age of 18 and has become a very accomplished entrepreneur with his spurring businesses in Nigeria, Dubai, UAE, and China. He is the proprietor of HSR Entertainment that has produced a web series. He is also in the process of producing a music video with renowned music artists.

Rishabh realises that the current crop of young Indians does not have the same vigour anymore for the written word in printed form. He acknowledges books giving way to ‘Ipads’ and stories being replaced by ‘listicles’. This has driven him even further into creating better content and he sincerely hopes to reignite the passion for reading amongst thousands of young Indians.
