"pratap" poems
The Royal lady's eyes behold.
The scene that is about to unfold.
The procession just outside Hawa Mahal.
She looks from one of he 953 windows.
The red and pink sand stone of the Mahal,
She feels from her toes.
She is Rajput by heart.
And inwardly thanks Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh for this intricate piece of Art.
Constructed in 1799.
From it's windown,
The breeze flows;fresh and beingh.
Out there there are all kinds of people
Old. Young. Fancy. Simple.
They radiate happiness.
Mounted on elephants or barefoot,feeling blessed.
She smiles to herself.
And closes the Jharokha and feels excited as now,
To her friends,she has a story to tell.

Rana Pratap Nandi
Waiting for you
by my lonely riverside,
in my twilight mood
motionless, counting the ripples,
tipsy with the musky smell
of first satiated earth.
Lusting for more.
Thinking of you, a few words,
a silver lining, becoming one
with the ivy growths on my
ancient sturdy castle.
A young breeze comes singing
of you and another brings
a tuft of cloud,
sailing on a silver lining.
A piece of white satin
blood and gold seeping through.
And streaks of dusk.

so in pure
fabled fashion,
at the battle of Haldighati (1576),
Chetak, Maharana Pratap
astride, leapt across
a gaping betwixt two cliffs
and fatally injured,
died a hero,
that
400-odd years later
the Arabian steed
stands stone-cut in Jaipur,
the Maharana
urging him on
to battle,
Chetak,
all set to go
airborne...

Ace fashion designer Rajesh Pratap Singh, who recently collaborated with Kullu-based handloom weavers Bhuttico for a collection, says he is passionate about the handloom industry which is his source of inspiration. Rajesh Pratap and Bhuttico’s fashionable affair was held in Kullu last week and highlighted the farm-to-fashion journey of Merino wool which is part of the Woolmark Company’s Grown In Australia, Made In India initiative.
“I am extremely passionate about the handloom industry as it is the primary source of my inspiration. I love the versatility of Merino wool, especially since it’s so easy to work with and supports various techniques and blends,” Rajesh Pratap said in a statement.
The designer, who is known for using Indian textiles and for working with ikat, presented a menswear and womenswear collection. The special line focused on the handloom journey of Bhuttico and their rich legacy.
The collection was a juxtaposition of clean lines and colourful weaves, and highlighted Rajesh Pratap’s signature minimal aesthetics and intense construction.
The designer feels “the fashion fraternity has constantly been striving to highlight the textile and handloom industry in India”.
“Owing to our country’s rich heritage each state adds another dimension of culture which is also captured beautifully by our weaves,” he said.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-canberra | www.marieaustralia.com/plus-size-formal-dresses

शिरोमणि , मातृभक्त , शूरवीर , सिसोदिया वंश के युवराज थे ।
किया समर्पित तन , मन , धन ऐसे महाराणा प्रताप थे ।
लोभ , मोह , भोग , विलास सब छू भी ना उनको पाता था
स्वाभिमान देख उनका पाषाण भी शीश झुकाता था
घर , परिवार , आराम का विचार भी ना हृदय तक आता था
इतिहास का वो पन्ना भी सम्मान से लिखा जाता था
काली मुगलिया छाया में वो उजले प्रभात थे
मातृभूमि के तेजस्वी पुत्र वो महाराणा प्रताप थे
चुनी घास की रोटियाँ , महलों का 56 भोग ठुकराया
तिलक किया मातृभूमि को लहू से , विजय पताका फहराया
हाथ जोड़ नतमस्तक है धरती का हर एक कण
धरती माँ तेरे नाम किया जीवन का हर एक क्षण
हीरे जवाहरात कब भाये पहने स्वाभिमान का ताज थे
रक्त से लिखी स्वयं की गाथा वो महाराणा प्रताप थे
वो महाराणा प्रताप थे
