आदरणीय राज ठाकरे यांना निरोप।

आपल्या विरुद्ध लिहिताना आपण मराठी माणसच्या हक्का साठी लढता याला विरोध नाही, तर आपण लढाअर्धवट सोडता याचा राग आहे। मुम्बैत बिहरी लोकंविरुद्ध आपण आवाज़ उठाव्लात आणि मराठी बिहारी प्रकरण पेटवून दिलत, या पुढे मराठी माणसाची सरक्षा ही जबाबदारी कुणाची, उद्या विरार लोकल मधे प्रवास करणार्या एका मराठी माणसाला एकत्र जाणार्या १० बिहारिन्नी मराठी मानुस म्हणुन धरला तर त्यानी के करायचा। किंवा उलटी परिस्थिति असो, अश्यावेळेला त्या बिहारी ने के कराव याच कही उत्तर आहे का?
सांगावसं वटतं की जसा भारत पाकिस्तान प्रश्न गेली ६० वर्षाप्रश्नचं आहे तसा आपला ही प्रश्न प्रश्नचं राहतोय। त्यावर तोडगा आपण देतच नही आहात।

Mr Raj Thakery let me tell you we are not safe in our own land. And you have made it more unsafe.

क्रमश:3

तिथे देश गेला खड्ड्यात आताच डाव साधनं महत्वाचं , संधि हुक्त कामा नये आमदार गोला करा , फोड़ाफोडीचं राजकारण खेला, पुढचं पुढे बघू। २६/११ नंतर च्या घनेरद्या राजकारनानि आम्हा तरुनाना एक प्रश्नात टाकलंय , आम्ही मतदान का करायचा, आणि याचा खरं उत्तर आपल्या नेत्याँ कड़े आहे, आणि ते म्हणजे, नकाच करू तुम्ही मतदान, आमच्या कड़े आमच्या वोट बैंक्स टायर आहेत। उगीच तुमच्या सारख्या व्हाइट कोल्लरच्या एक एक मता मुले आमचे हिशेब चुकतात।

क्रमश: 2
सध्या गप्पा बसले होते। मान्य आहे घडतं आहे त्यात तुम्ही काहीच करू शकत नही , पण देशा वर आलेल्या या संकटाच्या वेळी तुम्ही मदतीचा हात तरी पुढे करू शकत होता। का अश्या परिस्थित सुधा तुम्ही फक्त मराठी माणसांना च मदत करणार, तसं म्हणावा तर तुम्ही तसं ही केल नाहीत। खरं सांगायचा तर मुंबईतलं तुमचं अस्तित्वच आम्हा मराठी माणसांना या काळात जाणवलं नाही।

बाकि विधान भवन येथे बसणाऱ्या या काळ्या आई च्या लेकरांनी तिला तोंड लपवायला जागा ठेवली नही। मुख्या मंत्री पदाची अचनक चालून
आलेlee ही 'suvarna' संधि ।

भाग १

26/11/2008 रात्रीची १०:१५ ची वेळ। पार्ल्याच्या हनुमान रोड च्या बस स्टाप वर उतरून चालत तीन मिनिटांच्या अंतरावर अस्नायरा माज्या रूम वर येउन मी नुकताच बसलो होतो। माज्या शिफ्ट च्या ड्यूट्या त्यामुले बर्याच दिवसानी भेटलेल्या मित्राशी गप्पा मारत बसलो होतो , तेवढ्यात कांठळ्या बसवणारा प्रचंड आवाज जाला , संपूर्ण बिल्डिंग हादरली, प्रचंड किनकाळी, जे काही उडून पडलं त्याचे तुकडे अगदी खिडकित येउन पडले .......सगल शांत , भयाण शांत आणि पुन्हा एकदा आवाजाची गर्दी ...." आहो काय जालं , पहा न टी व्ही वर काय दाखवत आहेत , सी एस टी ला फायरिंग जालं म्हणे , हाउ होर्रिबल, पण हा कसला आवाज होता, नक्कीच ब्लास्ट चा, पण कुठे , एअरपोर्ट ...बापरे॥ नक्कीच जवळ जाला आहे....आहो काकू समीर आजुन घरी नही आला ...शी नस्त टेंशन...

सगळ्या बिल्द्डिंग मधून भराभर लोकंबाहेर आली। पोलिसानच्या गाड्यांचे सायरन घुमायला लागले । सगळी कड़े पोली सानच्या आणि एंबुलेंस च्या लाल आणि निळ्या दिव्यांच्या प्रकाशाची दिवाळी आणि आम्ही राहत होतो तिथून काहीच मिनिटांच्या अंतरावर आमच्याच इतक्या साध्या आणि निष्पाप लोकांच्या रक्ताची होळी

मन विशिन्न करुन टाकणारा हा प्रसंग इतक्या जवळून मी पहिला , नव्हे तर कही मिनिटां पूर्वी मी तिथेच होतो , अगदी तिथेच ....काही वेळ ऑफिस मधे अजुन थांबून मी आताच तिथे उतरलो असतो तर....विचार करून अंगावर शहरा आला । मुंबई च्या लोकल गाडयां मधे पूर्वी ब्लास्ट जाले तेव्हा पुण्यात आम्हाला दहशतवाद आपल्या इतक्या जवळ आलाय याची जाणीव नक्कीच जाली होती पण आजच्या प्रकारानी मात्र त्याचा 'खरी' जाणीव करून दिली।

रात्र जगण्यात गेली। टी व्ही वरची एक एक दृश्य पाहून परिस्थित चिघलत चल्याचं दिसत होतंच। सकाळी उठून जिथे स्फोट जाला त्याच स्टाप वरून ऑफिस ला गेलो। ग्रैंड ह्यात्त ची सुरक्षा कड़क करण्यात आली होती। प्रचंड पोलिस, एंबुलेंस यानि होटल चा ताबा घेतला होता। होटल ची सिक्यूरिटी संपूर्ण सतर्क होतीच।

मोकले रस्ते, पोलिस , बंदुका अशी मुंबई किती भयाण वाटत होती।

बोलानार्यांचे दाखवायचे आणि खायचे दात दिसत होते। काही दिवसांपूर्वी मराठी च्या मुद्दया वरून आपली मराठी ताकद दाखवणारे

A message to our Respective Political leaders.

We all always knew the levels of corruption in the Government and have accepted it as a part and parcel of our life. We never raised our voicec against it. But please dont deal with our lives. 26/11 was surely not possible with out political support and we very much understand that.

Long time...yeah.I was recovering from a long done damage while i bid good bye to the good old collage days and then some of the best buddies.. believe me, buddies make a great difference in once life..specially if they are not around.
I miss my colellage days and most of it, my friends..thanks to mails and phones and orkut we stay in touch, but thats only electronically connected. Unfortunately time has the power to break the connection of love....at least in my case, it teaches you to live alone...

Never mind.....there are more serious things in life we need to discuss.

We all witnessed the terror on and post 26/11. I feel 26/11 was bad but the political terror drama post that was even worst. With newspaper, television and internet flooding on articles and reports on the efficiency of our political leaders me writing this blog dosent make a difference. But the most sad part of the story is we all just read, listen and see to these reports and articles and hold debateS on them in friends groups. Is that enough?

Certainly not. In the olden days when India fought for its Indipendince the great men and women who leaded (the then leaders)were constantly under peril danger so that the subjects of this nation lead a safe and happy life. Today each and every one of us is in such mortal danger, and the day that passes is ours, while our leader lead a very happy and safe life.

So they have a very rare chance to sacrifice for the nation , but we everyday have a chance to do that. Now the choice is ours, whether we simply die to the gun shot of some terrorist or in a blast or we act and face death bravely. Lets accept, with the kind of people ruling us (yes..they are ruling us) the question of safetly doesnt arise, everyday we leave our houses with an obvious expectaction of not returning back. We walk out of houses so ready to die like a soldier on the war front.Every person who dies in Mumbai is a 'Shahid', because living in Mumbai is like fighting on the war front.

While the counrtymen at this very moment require safety look at our politians. Instead of supporting the ruling government we forced our leaders to step down and because some selfish people didnt get the position they wanted, they are still proving that they can make this government fall (with refernce to Hon Narayan Ranes statement that he is powerfull enough to make changes in the government). So it simply means the safety of the citizens is not our concern. As a representetive of the country i shall not co-operate the Government using my powers for the safetly of my people but i shall fight against the Government for my selfish motives. I dont understand Hon. Ranes statement when he says he knows the names of the leaders who are connected with terrorist and would give out the names when the right time arrives. What right time is he talking of ? Another terrorist attack, or what?

And when he gives out a statement like that what is our Government waiting for, and why not interrogate him for the names. If Rane really knows such names and he is not revealing them isnt he the biggest terrorist openly active in the country?

If we wish to offer our tributes the the great men who laid there lives in serving our motherland, dont just stand in silence with bowed heads. If we do that it will be the greatest insult to their memories.

beautiful sms

one of the most beautiful sms (short message ) i received recently was this one

dreams are not those that you see when you are asleep, but are those which wake you up from sleep
Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.

THE HAPPYS ENDINGS

I wish like our movies everything in our life also had happy endings....atleast at the end of the epesode..

i always remember a cominc incident in one of the plays i saw where after the war was fought, lord krishna tells duryodhana......that at the end truth always wins... to which duryodhana asks the lord....if truth has the power to win...then why at the end....,

today when i come to the end of one phase of my life i find myelf the most unhappy peorson amongst the rest who were woth me. i was probably the most active, initiative taking person in the entire gang and today when i say goodbye to the people whom i thought would be very difficult to part away with...unfortunately i dont want to come across many of them again in my life.

but still i know one thing...whatever i faced in this short period of life ....has tought me a lot. what i know is i was honest in my part of resposnsibility and if the people at the receiving end were not proffessional enough that not my fault.

I have been rewarded generously by my God for all my works and deeds and i thank Him for that....and have no complaints against Him...

For all those whom i am parting with, my efforts were neverto let you guys down but were always genuine to help you, for the ones who are too narrow minded to understand me...I dont owe you any explanation।, love you all guys and may God bless you। wish you the best of luck for a new beginning।
it reminds me here of the great author V P Kales lines where he said

THE DEADLIEST MOMENT IN ONES LIFE IS WHEN YOU TRY TO DO SOMETHING GOOD AND WHEN YOU ARE REWARDED ONLY WITH SORROW AND WORST WHEN PEOPLE START TAKING DOUGHT ON YOUR PURE SOUL....

well i just remember these lines, for me the situation will never worsen to this extent, I m quite sure about that, the same author says,

IF SOMEONE STARTS IMMITATING YOU OR IS JELOUS OF YOU, BE SURE, YOU ARE PROGRESSING.....

i still have the same respect for all the people whom i met in these past few years. i hope they all do well, thanks for your company all............

well....back to the point......if you are looking for the happys endings of every chapter of your life.... you have two options... one is just be shameless....as we say..nirlajja sada sukhi..nothing will affect you

and second is obviously....watch bollywood flicks...then always have the happys endings..

Slow and Stedy wins the race

Slow and steady wins the race……

And I seriously hope this works… while I am taking a slow route on my career path, (and which I expect to be steady ….) while all my friends have their sacks packed and are ready to board the vessels carrying then to the west.. I am firm on my decision of staying back in the country and work the hard way …in the Bombay industry…

I believe the way I am taking is the correct way to settle myself in the hotel industry….but the only thing that worries me.... .is it really true…. The way I think is correct when I am the only one thinking in this way …..while the rest think its bullshit……

But never the less I am happy I am at least not confused with what next unlike the others …..

I just know one thing …. Slow and steady wins the race….and I hope this works….

sakhar

सकाळी साखर संपली म्हणून किराणामालाच्या दुकानात गेलो. उठल्या उठल्या चहा पिण्याची सवय कशी वाईट असते, याचा विचार करत किराणामालाचे दुकान आले. साखर घेऊन बाहेर पडलो तर समोर माझे भाग्य माझी प्रतीक्षा करत होते. पाचशे रुपयांची नोट निपचित रस्त्यावर बेवार

MYSELF...

Hi. My name is Nikhil Raje. . And I am a student of hotel management. My hobbies are theatre, acting, speaking, and gardening. I also love to travel a load.

Currently I am pursuing my last year of graduation. And plan to start working with the Grand Hyatt hotel, in Mumbai.

I love to speak a lot and probably that’s the reason that the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai wants me to work for their Front team, though I applied to work as a housekeeper.

I am a very proud person, and by the grace of God and all my elders and teachers have always had success with whatever I tried my hands on.

Recently I read a very good line (actually I did read it long back….just forgot it..) (But now thanks to Joie on whose profile I read it again) which I really liked would like to express here…it said … Friend are those siblings that God forgot to give u…..

I really wish I find some friends who are really worth these great lines.

As it is always said……u can have millions of friends in life. … but just one true friend….

Maintaining something is very difficult…and that is what I experience when I look at my blog. I started writing on this blog very excitedly but now maintaining regularity is very difficult indeed.

One of the reasons to it may be…because I mostly write in Marathi……and m not still good at typing the script…. It sometimes tend to get boring …I mean it actually takes me a minute or even more than that to type a word…..and then I have to search for alternate words for the once which I can really not type…..even when I have hit every key on ma keyboard thrice…..

Now that needs patients….

Now as I said I write mostly in Marathi I am now also thinking of keeping my blog updated with some English articles….but that would be real rare I guess…..because the problem is whatever I think I should writ is always in Marathi and translating your thoughts into some other language is not so easy……

The funniest part I always feel about me is that my birthday is 31st, May…so that makes me a Gemini…but as per the Hindu mythology I am Kumbh…that’s Aquarius…I guess. Now I say that’s funny because these both are the greatest sunshine’s in their own culture …or whatever you call it (actually I didn’t find any suitable word…..if u have one you can tell me…and I will make necessary changes when I update (?) next..)

What ever I studied about the sunshine’s I always find that these two always have a description that is different from the rest…..i don’t know why…probably I feel it that way because I belong to them….is it the same with you…do you think the people with your sunshine are always better than the other..

I am really happy I am a Gemini… I love every aspect of the Gemini what those experts say (someone can help me with a better word here) except one….geminis are too friendly. They get involved too much in someone very soon and then they say their feelings were hurt because of ....Whatever.. I don’t know why these guys don’t understand that as you are a Gemini the other person also belongs to some specific sunshine…which has its own aspects….

I recently read a really good ….may be you can call it a one liner…. It said

If you like something, just set if free…
If it comes back to you it is yours for ever…
But if it doesn’t…..
It was never yours….

I really took this line too seriously in life…..but now I am afraid I don’t start setting everything in my life free……whatever…I still liked it…its good to practice when it comes to people….specially if you are a Gemini….

I always Pray to God…..it not just any specific thing I want from him….because I don’t know why is he so happy with me ….i never have to ask him to give me something…..the things I want come my way on their own…. A loads of time as a pleasant surprise….. and that is what makes me feel that the way I work with life is correct and that the reason He keeps rewarding me….I always thank Him for that….

मी मराठी..........

आज मुहूर्त लागला .....मात्र मुम्बैत काही लोकांनी साध्या जो गोंधळ चलावला आहे (माफ़ करा कदाचित शब्द चुकला असेल) त्याचा प्रत्येक मराठी मनाला आभिमान वाटला पाहिजे....आहो मुम्बई ही फक्त मराठी माणसांचीच. कुठून ही कोणीही येउन मुम्बैत राहतो म्हणजे काय ?
मला तर आपल्या मराठी माणसांचा फार अभिमान वाटतो। परवाच एका कार्यक्रमआ निम्मित कुसुमाग्रजांच्या कही कविता आम्ही सदर केल्या...आहो काय कार्यक्रम zala म्हणुन तुम्हाला सांगू. कुसुमाग्रज आइकायला चक्का २६ जण आले होते. या कार्यक्रमा च्या सुरुवातीला येत असताना बाहेर मराठी युवाकांचा एक घोळका दिसला ........पानच्या टपरिवर .....आणि आत बसलेले २६ जण हे हे बाहेर जी किर्तनाची पाती लावली होती...त्यावरची चुकीची तारिख वाचून ...आजच कीर्तन आहे असा समज होउन येउन बसले होते.....
एका रटाल कार्यक्रमात एक मानुस मात्र शेवट पर्यंत बसतो ......कार्यक्रम zaalyavar बुआ कौतुकाने त्याला म्हणतात ......वा वा तूच खरा दर्दी बघ......त्यावर तो म्हणतो....तस काही नाही बुआ....खरच संगायचा तर तुम्ही बसला होतात टी सतरंजी माजी होती....गीत रामायण आ चे गेले कितीतरी प्रयोग आम्ही याच भीतीने लवकर संपवतो की कदाचीत समोर जे तुरालक प्रेक्षक बसले आहेत त्यांचा कही वस्तु आपल्या मुले इथे आड़कल्या आस्तील......खारोखारीच गणपतिच्या दिवसात गणपती ला त्याच्या मोठ्या कनान्नी अगदी व्यवस्थीत आइकू येईल आश्या आवाजात सुंदर हिंदी चित्रपटातील गीतं लाऊन वेड वाकड नाचतान पह्लिलं की माजं मन अगदी अभिमानन भरून येत.....आणि हेच जेव्हा माज्या सारख्या मराठी माणसाच्या घरात जेव्हा एखादा राजस्थ्नी गवंडी काम करतो तेव्हा मात्र ह्याला हा बंध्तो आहे त्याच भिन्तीत चिर्डून का मरू नए असा प्रश्न पडतो...

मुम्बैत पुन्हा असा कही प्रकार केलात तर आम्ही लाठ्या काढू असं ते म्हणाले....तर आमची मंडली म्हणाली मग आम्ही तल्वारी काढू.....आता एवढी शास्त्र बाहेर निघाल्यावर पोलिसांना बन्दुका काढाव्याच लागतील.....म्हणजे थोडक्यात काय तर आम्ही मुम्बई चाच आणि पर्यायाने महाराष्ट्राचाच बिहार करू....
