Bye Bye 2008. 
Welcome 2009.

Happy New Year to All Readers !!!

My Shopping Spree

Who says men can not shop ? After listening lots of taanebaaji from my mother and sister, I decided to show off my shopping skills. I selected Big Bazaar in Raghuleela mall at Vashi .. next to my office.

With the courage of Shreeshant facing Brett Lee's bawling attack on Austrelian pitch, I straight way headed to grocery section. Took a trolly and started roaming around reading names and rates. I felt little confident after reading the names and called mom. Asked her to tell me what items I should bring. She was it surprised when she heard I am in mall for shopping. She started the list .. mug ardha kilo, masur, udid daal pav kilo, chavali ek kilo, vaal changale astil tar ek kilo etc. etc. etc.  Suddenly the items I saw few minutes ago started looking unfamiliar to me :) I double checked the section I was standing in. Tried doing some R&D but didn't work.

Mom was firing requests one after the other. After 5-6 minutes, I was about to give up. Suddenly I saw one kaku - aged 50-52 shopping next to me. She was looking at me for last 2-3 minutes. I gave my GREAT SMILE (pitty) with my chinese eyes (michmiche dole), innocent looks (bavlat aani buddhu chehraa) and dimples (galache khadde). Then things started moving smoothly. Kaku found all items my mom requested .. after that my part was just to pull the trally. The toughest section in question paper was solved :)
Then there was one more confusion in soaps section. I found it extremely difficult to classify soap bar used to wash cloths and utensils. All the names were looking similar. Finally I found the correct ones by recollecting their advertisements. (Prashant Damle : bayko geli maheri, kaam kari pitambari etc.)

Finally, I should say .. the attempt was successful. I could collect more than 85% of the requested items. And the lesson learned was ... next time first find some kaku and then only call mom :D

Blog Under Updation

Dear Readers,

I am trying with some new blogger templates. You may experience inconsistency in the look and feel of the blog. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll soon settle with a better template.

Thanks for your patience. Feedback about new theme is welcome.

Life is a Great Teacher

Life is a great teacher.

The only difference between them is a teacher teaches lesson first and then takes a test. Life takes test first and then teaches a lesson.

Some unanswered questions about Traditions

Today I was returning from my office. Deonar abattoir is on my way. For last one week there is traffic jam because of Bakri Eid. Every evening I see vehicles carrying male goats - bakras. Today I saw one family - a man with his 6-8 yrs old child carrying a bakra in a rickshaw. Generally these animals are not used to with traffic, traveling in vehicles, noises etc. In this auto, the kid was feeding some fresh leaves to the goat and goat was eating it. Both were very much gelled and comfortable with each other. The kid was hugging goat, loving him and the animal was enjoying his company too.

Tomorrow is Bakri Eid and that family is going to kill that animal. Most of the time not in just one single shot .. the animal is going to experience slow painful death - halaal . Does that small kid or that animal aware of it ? If yes, can they have same feeling for each other which they are having now ?

I don't want to make comment on anyone's religion or tradition. But why any GOD will be pleased with any form of kurbani ? Afterall, all living beings are his children only.

देव माझा विठु सावळा



चल ऊठ रे मुकुंदा



उघड नयन देवा



काय बाई सांगू



वार्‍यावारती गंध



मनी माउचे बाळ



विसरू नको श्रीरामा मला


प्रीत लपवूनि लपेल का


जिवालगा कधी रे येशील तू



चाफा बोलेना



अंग अंग तव अनंग



यशोमति मैया से



चल र शिरपा



लो चली मैं

Zee SaReGaMaPa Little Champs

Its very difficult to miss SaReGaMaPa Little Champs program if you are a Zee marathi viewer. This program is simply amazing. Its far better than the standard reality shows and talent hunt competitions. The performances by little kids are just too good. I watch it every week without fail. I have downloaded song mp3s and watched several youtube videos.



Yesterday I was analyzing my blog visitors trend using google analytics. I found that I am getting some visitors because of some SaReGaMaPa participant names used in my blog post. If people are searching for SaReGaMaPa videos, let me share them here. I'll post embedded youtube videos here classified by participants. Main ones which I like are Prathamesh Laghate, Mugdha Vaishampayan, Shamika Bhide, Arya Ambekar and few others. Its very time consuming process of searching the videos, filtering them and putting them on blog. Hence I am doing it in parts. Unfortunately, this intro post will appear as last post and videos will come above this. Once I finish posting the videos, I'll move this post above.

Checkout the right side links for performance videos.
