History of Indian Currency- British TIme

Victoria Portrait Series The first set of British India notes were the 'Victoria Portrait' Series issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 1000. These were unifaced, carried two language panels and were printed on hand-moulded paper manufactured at the Laverstock Paper Mills (Portals). The security features incorporated the watermark (GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, RUPEES, two signatures and wavy lines), the printed signature and the registration of the notes. Rupees Ten Rupees Hundered British India Notes facilitated inter-spatial transfer of funds. As a security precaution, notes were cut in half. One set was sent by post. On confirmation of receipt, the other half was despatched by post.

"गुंता"

  लिखाणाची पण एक गम्मत असते. लिहावेसे वाटते तेव्हा लिहायला समोर काहीच नसते. किवा लिहिण्याची परिस्थिती नसून ड्रायव्हिंग किवा अशी काहीशी अस्थिर अवस्था असते. डोक्यात विचारांचे थवेच्या थवे उडू लागतात. एका मागोमाग  एक.. लयबद्ध .. शिस्तीने. एखाद्या उघड्या खिडकीतून कोणा काळाचे प्रतिबिंब उमटते. गुंतता- गुंतता विचारांचे विषयवार लेखन करावेसे वाटते. परंतु लिखाण होत नाही. लिखाण होणार नाही हे पुर्वानुभ्वे लक्षात घेता ; हे लक्षात आले असल्याचेही नमूद करण्याची नोंद मन घेते. आणि पुन्हा विचार ..आणि पुन्हा एक " गुंता "

टिळकांचा आवाज

खूप खूप आनंद होत आहे; हे शेअर करताना.

ज्या टिळक वाड्यात( केसरी वाडा )आम्ही आजवर गणेशोत्सवात कार्यक्रम बघण्यास लहानपणापासून जात आलो; तेथेच तब्बल ९७ वर्षांनी माननीय लोकमान्य बाळ गंगाधर टिळक  यांचा आवाज काळ संध्याकाळी ( २४ /०८/२०१२) यादिवशी अनेकांनी ऐकला. योगायोग आणि अत्यंत गोड योगायोग असा ; कि १९१५ सालच्या  केसरी वाड्यातील गणेशोत्सवातील त्यांचे हे भाषण ; पुन्हा एकदा २०१२ च्या गणेशोत्सवात ऐकायला मिळाले.
आवाज ऐकण्यासाठी क्लिक करा : टिळकांचा आवाज


* केसरी वाड्याचा  गणपती टिळक पंचांगानुसार बसत असल्याने ; आपल्या गणेशोत्सवाच्या काही दिवस आधीच बसतो.
