26/11, The Day Of Terrorism and Tarzanism... The day will be remembered as the day of danger-stricken, faith-broken and civility-shattered Mumbaiker as well as Indians. Along with it, the day will also recognized as the day of integrated efforts made by Indian Police and Army to stabilize the civility and faith in the service and patriotism. It was a day when about 164 innocent people were killed and more than 300 were injured brutally. Not only the civil ians but guards of civilians were also shot to heavens. i would like to salute the officers,(Hemant Karkare,Ashok Kamte, Vijay Salaskar and Tukaram Omble ) naming them as patriots and express sheer shame on failure of the intelligence department and the coast-guard security. And what to be ashamed further that our government(always being the center of blames) couldn't provide enough compensation to the dead. Let alone the civilians, they have not paid well even officers martyred and living brave-hearts. If terrorists are bru...

Tiger Tiger Burning Bright! Just i saw a Tiger turning into flames and merging into the five elements of the universe…. i couldn’t hold my self remembering those famous lines of sir William Blake’s poetry ‘Tiger tiger burning bright!’ . May be with the different context but this tiger of Maharashtra was burning for people of Maharashtra. By his flames of aspirations he has enlightened  millions of Marathi souls. Nonetheless he has also ignited a patriotic fever among the people of the country by his simple yet strict remarks in his speeches. People may name him any way but it is also a truth that one can either love him or hate him but one can’t ignore him. He was a staunch opponent of the reservation policy. He was a person who thought beyond the caste who believed only in two castes all over the world, one the rich and the poor. He had opined in an interview with Arnav Goswami, the Times Now News Editor, “Make the poor rich but don’t make the rich poor.” ...

दीपावलीच्या पहाटवेळी... दीपावलीच्या पहाटवेळी पणत्यांनी प्रकाशपित्याचं स्वागत केलं. फटाक्यांच्या गजरान सारं गांव जागं झालं. तेल-उटण्याच्या मार्दनानं मग प्र्यत्येकानं अभ्यंग केलं. रांगोळीच्या गालीच्यानी आंगण सजवलं. सुंदर-सुंदर वेशभूषेन थोर-मोठ्यांसह लहानांना नटवल. काकड आरतीच्या घंटांनी नाद्ब्रःम्माला साकडं घातलं. फराळाच्या मेजवानीन खावैय्याचं पोट दुणावल "शुभ दीपावली ! शुभ दीपावली !" असं शेकहेंड करत आलिंगन देवून प्रत्येकाला सांगितलं. दीपावलीच्या पहाटवेळी पणत्यांनी  स्वागत असं प्रकाशपित्याचं केलं. .....इलेश.

Those Precious Five Minutes…..           Who is this chap to describe the value of time?  Readers may immediately start thinking so, if they are least bothered of the value of every passing second.  Some may not have the time even to read about the value of time or they may consider it as wastage of time to read about it.           Jr.  College Students, before five minutes of their exams, keep their heads submerged in the Classes notes or the Omnipresent and Omniscient Navneet. In our good old days, it was not like this.  Yes, ‘Old days’.  Though i am not so old and experienced, i have to term it precisely as ‘Old’.  This world is evolving at fast, faster and fastest speed.  It is fast enough to call the ‘past days’ as ‘years before’ and the ‘past years’ as ‘ages’, isn’t it? When you work at more than five institutions in a year as a teacher, your expe...

Success and Myself         Success may mean many things to many. It may be God's greatest gift, it may be their fulfilled dream or it may be their dearly desired destination. Being a believer of 'Karma' , for me   success is a fruit borne by a perspiring perseverance. It is something that is obvious to your positive will with mountainous efforts.         For me, the success is not mere recognition or material reward. It means far beyond it. It is a joy for me that comes after the followance of the serious optimistic process towards mind goals. i measure success not by materialistic things but by self realization. i value not only the moment that comes after the long period of perseverance but how far could i put myself to the test of time.         i remember the advertisement on TV that says -- i mean asks oneself -- "Have i made it large?" i measure success in terms of larger connectivity. It means how many pe...

As white as milk......       Today, to one more deity, we bid a good bye. Mahishasur Mardini: Maa Durga went to her eternal abode. It is believed and followed that on this very day She had killed the demon Mahishasur, the Buffalo Demon. It is symbolized that it's an end of the cruelty. This day is also celebrated as Vijaya Dashmi. Lord Ram had trounced Ravan on this occasion. So it is also symbolically known as victory of the truth over the false. What this day is for all of us? Where is that victory of the almighty over the evil? For us, the runners of the democracy, there is a need to end existing cruelties of corruption at every kind that touches our day-to-day life affairs. Today i saw a footage on Aajtak showing how Shampoo and detergent powder are used to make a milk-like liquid. These substances are mixed with some other inedible things and water to make it look white in colour. And then this liquid looks as white as milk.        ...

Soul to soul....              Today, we see people are more social and less domestic. Take it generally and not personally. Reasons may be varied, school-extracurricular activities-classes-friends or job-hotel-parties-travel mates, job-kitty parties-functions-TV serials, etc. list is unending. Cant we turn it as Home-family-children-family seniors and-discussion-at- dinner? We rarely see such rare sites now-a-days.              Friends, a lecture at my friends college made me introvert to ponder upon the subject that is much discussed now-a-days: Family life. People remain on facebook, albeit without seeing real faces, we travel a lot for distant job-places, we celebrate social festivals and don't celebrate family life. Grandpas-grannies become Foreign-investors, Fathers become investors, Mothers become service providers and then why not then children become just a product?            ...
