Here are Top 5 in Jalandhar for week ended OCT 05,2008:
5. Jalandhar has been selected as one of 9 cities in India by World bank and developement projects in Jalandhar will be funded by world bank. Right now the fund is upto 200 crores. The developement fund will be used for improvement of road, walkways,toilets,trafic lights etc. This project has the potential to improve facilities drastically .
4. Well Mr. Dengue is active again in the city. Dengue victims were reported from many parts of the city. City authorities please take notice.
3. Welll it is Mr. Jalandhar, Bhajji who was in the news. But the reason was not cricket. But his performance in TV shows was criticised and some orgs are even filing legal cased against him. Well all we have tio say to them is " Take a Chill Pill"
2. Again it is Mr. Bhajji in the news not for taking wickets but taking Aussies bowlers to the cleaners. His timely half century saved team India some blushes. We hope this does not go into vain and India is succesful in winning the Test.
1. Top spot was no doubt the Dusshers celebrations in Jalandhar. It was celebrated at a lot of places in Jalandhar. There were some news about someone stealing the show by burning effigies in advance by one day. Jalandhari.com wishes all its vistors a very happy Dusshera .

Aadab From across the Border Continues.....

Aadab From across the Border Continues.....by jalandhari 10/8/2008 6:27:00 PM
Last month we wrote about the beautiful memories of Mr. Sarwar. In response we have received another touching letter from someone who is trying to find more about his ancestral place. Here is the letter :
"Salam,
My mother lived in pre-partition Jalandar and was daughter of (Dr) Sheikh Abul Fazal, Vce Chancelor Kapurthala University ( was also a Master Freemason ); they lived in Haveli Danishmandan in Jalandar. My mammon's names are Abul Faizi , Abul Fida ( had a limped foot - very marked and walked with a stick )- one brother Abul Arshad ( who lost his mantal balance and in depression left the house and was never found ever again - though he managed to study till his Masters but failed to obtain the degree ) and only living now is Abul Nasr ( before partition went to Italy and France and at the time of Partition was in Kabul - presently lives in Lahore).
I recall my late mother talking about visiting Raja's Sahib's Mahal on occasions ( commuting in covered tongas and escorted by their brothers and " Munshi Sahib" ) ;
My Nana Sh Abul Fazal had received many medals, decorations ( from Freemasons ) and awards by the societies being a PhD and spoke 7 languages; I have passed on severral of his medals and decorations - which I shall pass on to next generation to keep ... and cherish
I wonder if the writer of the subject mentioned letter recalls these people and could tell me more about them ...
Kind regards
Qurat ul Ain"

Jalandhar Top 5 for week ended Oct 05,2008

Here are Top 5 happenings in Jalandhar for week ended Oct 05,2008.
5. With the change in weather, Mr. Tiger is finally on his last breaths and we hope that he is dead by next week.
4. On October 2 there was some celebrations to mark the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. The major function in city was at the company bagh where a statue of Mahatma Gandhi is situated.
3. And talking of Gandhi, our last week's top spot was taken by another Gandhi i.e. Rahul Gandhi, while people were still discussing his visit to Jalandhar and who was able to shake hands with future PM, that issue was hijacked by the images seen on National TV. while people were still split on his motives. But this image is definately giving some people hope. Let the time be the judge.

2. So Australia's tour of India has brought cricket back to the discussions. Jalandharies are most interested in how soon our Bhajji will recah the landmark of 300 wickets. Presently he is at 291 test wickets. We hope to see him break record in the first test itself and wish him the best.
1. This week there is Ramleela and other Navratri celebrations being played at a lot of places around Jalandhar and that takes our top spot for this week. Also we are seeing a new trend of private garba parties during navratri season.
