Chai

 

                      Chai

 Ek cup chai se suru hoti hai har hindustani ki subhah. 

Ek cup chai se banti hai har saam shandar. 

Hum chai pite hi nhi balki pilate bhi hai...

Or hum chai banate hi nhi balki girate bhi hai.

Yu to chai sunte hi aati hai biscuit ki yaad.

Kuchh biscuits to cup me jati hai per aati nhi...

Or kuchh to jati hi nhi.

Ye chai bhi kitne flavour ki hoti hai na..

 jab sar me dard ho to adarakh wali chai.

 jab mood off ho to masaledar chai.

 jab aaye kisi ki yaad to pilo ilaichi wali chai

Itna hi nhi jisko hai sugar wo bhi pita hai without sugar

Life me tension ho to pilo ek cup chai - ye hoti hai har hindustani ki raye

 Ek cup chai or din ban jaye

 TUTLA WATERFALL

Tutleshawari Mata Dham is also known as Tutla Bhawani. This is a very beautiful natural waterfall, which is situated in tilauthu block of Rohtas district of Bihar.

Tutla Bhawani Waterfall is falling from the hill of  kaimur on three sides. This is one of the most beautiful tourist area of Bihar.

The elders here say that no one has made the statue of Tutleshawari Mata, but the Goddess herself has appeared. It's estimated that this is a very old temple. 

Tilauthu is the nearest market from Tutla Bhawani Waterfall and approx 20 km south west from Dehri-on-sone. This valley is about 300m wide in the east, it shrinks to only 50m in the west, where the waterfall falls from a height about 400 feet. A river originated from this waterfall which is known as Tutahi, which joins the Sone Nad.

In recent times, this site has been developed as an eco-tourism destination by the forest department. All tourist facilities are available here including road, swing bridge, e-rickshaw.
