my Christmas vacation

the moment NetXen was acquired by Qlogic.. evrybdy were dreaming of the shutdown holidays @ year ending!
MANY plans were whirling in my mind too, but there were MANY do's n dont's from parents :(

one week back of the holiday i was still confused with my timings n plans[as usual :D]

friday eve the 6'O clock ticked n I jumped out of the office with the feel of heaven.
Came home [au.bad] with little hopes abt the plan execution.
called some friend but they were busy

Sunday evening one of my little 10th std friend Shubham called n asked.."ताई तू उद्या शाळेत येशील ना ?"

n there u go...

10.15 monday morning 'Ak.Ru.Waghmare school, Sambhajinagar'

Talked with Sanskrit teacher Saraf Mam about the mobile library concept n she approved it so.

We visited one division from each of the std8,9,10th n started the mobile library concept with 3 books(written by Pravin DavaNe , Kiran Bedi) + 1 chatra prabodhan magazine.

These 3 books to be circulated in the class with a monitor who will keep the track of the details.

if this works fruitful.. many more plans upcoming...

still had more time to explore... n went to take some updates from Medha tai @ Hedgewar Rugnalaya, Sambhajinagar.

Here many activities related to Health - Education - Employment for villagers are being executed.

One of the activity 'Patient Assistance Coarse' was sponsored by Johnson and Johnson Ltd.

dropouts after 10 -12 std are being trained to work in Hospital as a ward boy/girl and can even look for some more training further.

i had 3 days with me to spend 2-3 hrs per day with these students... there were 35 students.

One day focus was about explaining whats the computer ..?? the minimum daily usage in hospital??? some practicals related to the same.

Next day we all visited the surgical suture company at Waluj with Phatak mam.The sales manager and the production head explained the suture manufacturing process with the high level preventive and standardized hygienic methodologies.This visit had a great impact on students to follow the standardized hygienic practices while working in the hospital

The third day... we played different games.

The purpose behind the games was

- to explore how much information students have about medical and hospital

- through which they express themselves in detail

- communication skills while interacting with disturbed patients, attending phone calls and many more

in all a small attempt to increase their confidence level to while working passionately in an professional world with the tinge of care and empathy towards society ..

for me this vacation was one of the worth ... hoping to spend upcoming vacation for those who really need :)

today m happy.na agitated.. naaa hoping!!!

yeah ..m happy :) to read the comment of Deepak D Don.. even if he just added a comment of his ignorance towards my blog :D..

i knw i knw within no time.. i m fond of ppl especially fundu ppl.. n thn i feel myself to be immature that how can i get a "wow" feel factor of THE personality in short time period.. but one can cross check ..my fundu ppl list/crush list is really a mind blowing!!

now i have to change the topic or else shonks ll feel insecure :P

okay apart from my stupid talks moving towards last night agitation...
Rice n Dal was being prepared for dinner which was required for two.
[ 80%times i cook food or atleast keep an eye on the amount of food being cooked.]
i was tired to look in kitchen n the rice was far more enough for more than 4 ppl . Since i was already tired looking at the quantity of rice spiky i askd what was the reason to cook so much of rice....

n i was told to take a "chill pill " since i cannot restrict anybody !

i always try get involved into some sort of grass root level work but then n number of factors hinder me doing..out of which i tried to compensate with atleast trying to b alert on my mere basic responsibilities towards the society..
and hope me n ppl around me are aware abt it.

i luv cooking .. luv to eat and luv to serve ppl the nutritional n tasty food!
my least expectations @ flat i leave with room mets and @ my aubad home
1. to cook as much as we really need
2. to dump aside the wet-decomposable waste or atleast to collect n keep aside i will dump it in the pot [An earthen pot in the balcony is used to dump the decomposable waste produced in home which has a layer of mud and a decomposer which i found in one of the florist /gardening shop untimately to produce some useful fertilizer out of it]

are my 2 simple expectations a lot to be followed in the flat ..but no.. i cannot impose my thoughts on ny1 .. n when i see excess left around food thrown in the dustbin my nerves are
on high..

few days back my mama mailed me a letter
बऱ्याच दिवसानी मेल लिहितो आहे. खरतर हा सारा मजकुर माझ्‍या मनात तयार होता. कारण होते लग्न. त्या नंतर असा निवांतपणा आजच मिळतो आहे. असो मला

लग्नाच्या आधी दरम्यान व नंतर काय वाटले ते आणि का वाटले याची कारण मीमांसा

* दिवाळिच्या आदल्या दिवशी लोकसत्ताचा अग्रलेख: भारतात २५% लोक दरिद्र रेषे खाली जगतात. त्यांचे महिन्याचे ऊत्पन्न ७५० रुपयाच्या खाली आहे. दरिद्ररेषेची नविन व्याखा केवळ मासिक ऊत्पन्न न बघता निवाराचाही विचार करते. तसे बघितले तर ही आकडेवारी वाढेल कारण निम्मी मुंबई दरिद्र रेषे खाली जाइल.

* दिवाळिच्या दिवसात मी मुलाना घेउन फटाके आणायला गेलो होतो आम्ही १००० रुपयाचे फटाके घेतले. मग ते गार्गीला वाजवता येत नाहीत व नीरजला उत्साह नाही म्हणून तुळशिच्या लग्नाच्या दिवशी मी उडवले!

* लग्नात खाणे कपडे दागिने गाडया सारी रेलचेल परत अनुभवली. मला केन्द्रत जायला वेळ नाही. पण मी लग्नाला गेलो. खरतर तेथे मी गेल्याने वा न गेल्याने तसा काहीच फरक पडणार नव्हता.

हे सारे तुम्हाला लिहिण्याचे कारण एवढेच. की मी पूर्वी पासून या गोष्टी करत आलो त्यात मजा घेत आलो. गेली दोन वर्ष एका वेगळ्याच भूताने पछाडलो. आत्ता परत मागे जाता त्या गोष्टी निरर्थक वाटतात. त्यात पूर्वीची मजा वाटत नाही. केंद्राचे नाहीच पण तसे दुसरे कामही करत नाही.

यातून काय होइल ते मला माहित नाही. आजचा संभ्रम तुम्हाला सांगावासा वाटला म्हणून ही मेल.

अपेक्षi काही नाही.

तुमचा मामा

Since last diwali i was in california..dada vahini were in hartford n mom dad in aurangabad..

This Diwali we all being together was the real joy for celebrations...! but the mere happiness is after glowing those crackers some of which were left unsound.. still they were NEEDED !

i kept silence ..hoping let it be the part of self realization!

marriages

;-) its a romantic fever in our flat....in terms of orkut.. renu n me both are committed [xcuse me all u bitter thinkers, we both are committed to our respective 'Ji']

the moment renu called me n said pp .. 'its done' i was on cloud no 9!

On dasera, mine and shonku's family gave us the green signal n today renu's news made us feel content to celebrate the happiness altogether again!

recalling the bitter phase which we have been thru.. made us little low but the present colors made us to think whats next...?

the fact we hated is the instructions given by our mom...

- talk to 'him' in sabhya bhasha.. don't shout in general.. behave like a mature girl... call 'in laws' twice a week...

come on mom... gimme a brk!!

its all goody goody and happy environment.. but responsibilities have increased..

whats new evry1 get marry one or the other day...

difference lies in the way it is nurtured...

marriages do not take place between 2 person but its a knot between 2 families and respective relatives..

2 individual come together to complement each other in order to give the best to rest of world...!

it was Vasantutsav-08.. i was one of the volunteer..cell rang n frnd said "i wanna listen to Abida Parveen but have no tickets, some how manage"
[even though v both knew it was against our ethics...i let him IN w/o tickts]
later on i was lost in managing last min crowd....n within fem minutes... i entered the world which i have never been the 'SUFI' world...
n i realized what "Abida ji" is

my all time fav word "EXPLORE" n then started listening to all sufi..ghazhals, trying to understand the insight of the singer, the complete composition, history behind.

within few days received a mail ek Fhankar [ introducing inner voice of ghazhals..]

me apps ..kets started in mail threads discussing ghazhals meanings.. n stuff

recently on pak's Independence day... came across fundu stuff Coke Studio

looking ontu my exploration for music till date..after classical I music...this sufi/ghazhal world have touched the sole :)

सुचतय म्हणुन लिहायचं..
का लिहायचं म्हणुन सुचवायचं
बेधुंद या विचारांना गणितात आखुन ..शब्दांमधे का अडकवायचं !!
कायम बेधुंद होउन कसं चालायचं .. भावनेच्या भरात आपण नाही वाहायचं ..
कोणी काहिही म्हणो कसेही वागो.. आपण बोचतय म्हणुन लिहायचं..

कुणी तरी दु:खी निजतय म्हणुन लिहायचं
कुठेतरी काही तरी विझतय म्हणुन लिहायचं
अध:पतन स्पष्ट दिसतय म्हणुन लिहायचं
त्यांच्यासाठी काळीज झिजतय म्हणुन लिहायचं

तो आहे आईच्या बाळाला झोपविण्यासाठी
की बाहेर पडलेल्यांच्या परतीसाठी
स्वप्न नगरी रंगवून प्रेयसीला पटवण्यासाठी
का ... सप्तरथाच्या प्रतिष्टेसाठी !!!

मला तर वाटते तो फक्त त्याच्या चांदण्यासाठी..
का नाही खाली येत कधी माझ्यासाठी..

नेहमी मी त्याला पाहाते..
कधी झाडांच्या गर्दीतून, तर कधी ढगांच्या आडोश्यातून..
जवळ वाटावा म्हणून बघते दुर्बिणीतून
तर तो ठेवतो स्वतःला लपवून..


मन माझ जातं कोमजून ...
मग कसा हसतो स्वतःला कोरून........
