Mera Long Gawacha

What does the Punjabi song "Mera Long Gawacha", most commonly sung during weddings, mean?

She lost her nose ornament, while she was on her way to meet her husband to give him meals. In case of a man, if he is a farmer, he will be working in his fields during mid day time, his wife used to bring lunch / meal by preparing it, also to give fresh food / meal to eat. One day she lost her nose ornament some where on way and she does not know where she lost it, and while going back to home, she asks her husband to watch out on her footsteps which she followed, to find her ornament and bring back if found. As they might be commuting from home to fields via same route, she is asking him to do so, while returning in evening from fields. In this song, she is describing about the beauty of her ornament.

I believe, you will clearly understand it, by going through lyrics.

यादों का हिसाब



लफ्ज़ अल्फाज़. कागज़ या किताब
कहाँ कहाँ रखूँ तेरी यादों का हिसाब

किरण


तुम आभासी किरणों सी,
चंचल हिरणों सी लगती हो।
तुम दरिया की मोती सी,
कंचन स्वर्णो सी लगती हो।
तप मेरे जीवन भर का तुम,
अंतिम छण में चली आओ।
मैं क ख ग की परिभाषा,
तुम सब वर्णों सी लगती हो।

माई री, MD-MADAN MOHAN LYRICS-MAJROOH SULTANPURI

न तड़पने की इज़ाज़त है ना फ़रियाद की है|
घुट के मर जाऊँ ये मर्ज़ी मेरी सय्याद की है||

माई री,

मैं कासे कहूँ पीर अपने जिया की माई री …

ओस नयन की उनके मेरी लगी को बुझाए ना
तन मन भिगो दे आके ऐसी घटा कोई छाए ना
मोहे बहा ले जाए ऐसी लहर कोई आए ना
ओस नयन की उनके मेरी लगी को बुझाए ना
पड़ी नदिया के किनारे मैं प्यासी, माई री


पी की डगर में बैठे मैला हुआ री मेरा आचरा
मुखड़ा है फीका-फीका, नैनो में सोहे नहीं काज़रा
कोई जो देखे मैया, प्रीत का वासे कहु माजरा
पी की डगर में बैठे मैला हुआ री मेरा आचरा
लट में पड़ी कैसी बिरहा की माटी, माई री

आँखों में चलते फिरते रोज मिले पिया बावरे
बैयाँ की छैयाँ आके मिलते नहीं कभी सांवरे
दुःख ये मिलन का लेके काह करूँ,
कहाँ जाऊँ रे आँखो में चलते फिरते रोज़ मिले पिया बावारे
पाकर भी नहीं उनको मैं पाती, माई री.....

New Two Wheeler Registration Hyderabad Telangana,

When I purchased a new TVS WEGO from Hyderabad, I was asked 1000 Rs. for permanent registration via agent. however when I searched online I found a very useful blog http://binodshankar.blogspot.in/2010/02/two-wheeler-registration-process-in.html. after reading this blog, I got confidence and reached to RTO office myself for permanent registration. That blog was written in 2010 and since then a lot has been changed in the process. Hence I thought that I should also write about my experience.
 So Here is the process:

First collect the following document from the dealer.
Invoice
Form 20
Form 21
Form 22
Tax Receipt
Temporary registration certificate
Insurance copy (xerox copy needed, but also carry the original with you)

 Xerox copy of following documents you need to carry your self:
Address Proof
Proof of Date of Birth
Driving License 
Also carry a pencil and stapler with you.
Counter for fees will be open from 10:30 to 2:00 on all working days.
Arrange the documents in the order pasted on the counter (Confirm at the counter, as far as I remember, the sequence was, Form 20, Tax Receipt, Temp Regis certi, form 21, form 22, address proof, date of birth proof, DL, Insurance certi)

You have to pay 395 Rs. fees (Application Fee 60 rs. + Service Charge 100 rs.+ Smart Card Fees 200 rs +Postal Charges 35rs). This one is the time taking step (30min to 1hrs depending on Q). Take the receipt and approach to another counter for digital signature (the person who is collecting the fee will inform you about the counter number) not take more than 5 min. After giving your signature specimen go for vehicle fitness inspection.
At this place you have to take pencil mark of chassis or frame number on the bottom of your form 20 (need not to be readable). Give this form set with one copy of fee receipt to inspector there. He will ask you to read chassis number and Engine number (when buying you vehicle, ask your dealer about the location of these numbers). Now you are done. Come home. You will get your RC in a Week's time.

P.S.:
1) Most of the process you will find in the Welcome letter of RTO office which comes with tax receipt and temp. registration certificate. 
2)  for vehicle insurance you do not need to go via dealer. Check your option because I was asked Rs 1652 for Insurance by dealer through ICICI-lombard but when I contacted national insurance, they did it for 1108 only.
3) Ask invoice for each and every thing, you had paid for, many dealers won't give invoice for the vehicle accessories because they charge you more than market rate.
