ENCOURAGEMENT

©  Never think of the past, it brings tears. never think of the future, it brings fears. so, live life in the present and always happy

 

© Regretting over yesterday and fear of tomorrow are the two thieves which steal our present..
Live for today.. Life will be beautiful..!

 

©  Wen a drop of water falls on a lake its identity is lost
     & wen it sits atop on a Lotus leaf it sparkles like a pearl.

      The Drop is the same but    company matters..

 

©  In great joy never make promises to anyone.
     &
     In great anger never answer anyone...
    Try Follow in it U will avoid many problems in life...

 

© When a door of happiness closes. Another opens. But so often at times we look        so    long at da closed door.. that we do not see the 1 which has been opening at us 

 

©  Words and hearts should be handled with care... for words when spoken and hearts were broken are the hardest things to repair.

 

©  Search 4 truth and you shall find beauty, search 4 beauty and you shall find love, search for love and you shall find God, search for God and you shall have them all!

 

©  When u were born u were crying and everyone around was smiling, live your life so that when you die, u r smiling and everyone is around crying.

ENCOURAGEMENT

©   When u face problems in life, don't ask GOD to take them away. Ask Him to show His  purpose- ask ways how to live a day searching his purpose for you. GOD BLESS...

 

© The strongest musle of the human body is the tongue.

 

©  winning horse dsnt know why it runs the race .It runs bcoz of beats & ains. Life is a  race; god is your rider. So if u r in pain then think,God wants u to win.

 

©  Dont wish a life without troubles, instead ask for the strength to face troubles that come ur way. As a WOUNDED WARRIOR is superior than a HEALTHY COWARD

 

©  Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing and love ends when you stop caring. So dream hope and love...Makes Life Beautiful

 

© Life is a book, we all read it.
Love is a blessing, we all need it.
Always be happy, walk with a smile.
Rember in this world we are just for a while.

Maharana Pratap Memorial (MOTI MAGARI), Udaipur

An impressive bronze statue of Maharana Pratap and his favorite and loyal horse, who was fiercely protective about his master and stood by him till his last breath, stands at the top of Moti Magri (Pearl Mount) overlooking Fateh Sagar. Local people climb the hill to pay homage to Maharana Pratap and his faithful charger 'Chetak', who was killed in the battle of Haldighati. There are the ruins of one of the first modest palaces of Udaipur and there is also a charming Japanese rock garden not faraway. The Memorial has the first Light & Sound Program in Rajasthan that encapsulates the glorious 1400 years of history of Mewar.
