आपटी मध्ये अक्षय हा गृहस्थ मस्त उन खात पसरला होता. वैशालीचा पाय पडता पडता वाचला. भोर नंतर काही अंतरावर हे मातीचे धरण आहे . ह्याचे नाव मात्र समजले नाही. वरंध घाटात माकडे मात्र खूप आहेत . ही आहे शिवथर घळ . वरील उजव्या कोपरयात धबधब्याच्या खूणा दिसत आहेत . आम्ही गेलो तेव्हा धबधबा कोरडा ठण ठणठणीत होता . Shivthar Ghal - I would describe "Ghal" as a horizontal crevice in the mountain. Shivthar Ghal is 20 mts long and 15 mts broad. This was the place where Samarth Ramdas wrote "Dasbodh". It is situated in Raigad district just below the Varandh ghat near the border of Pune and Raigad. It gets its name from the river Shivthar that plunges several hundred feet into the Konkan. At the base of this water fall and behind the curtain of water is Shivthar Ghal. One can enter the hall where Ramdas Swami sat, prayed and dictated Dasbodh to Kalyan Swami. Shivthar ghal can be divided in three parts. One of these has statues of Samarth Ramdas and Kalyan Swami. Shivthar Ghal is a very s

What is "Love"

A student once asked a sage, "What is love?" The sage replied, "In order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through it only once and cannot turn back to pick." The student went to the field, going thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wondered .... may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he started to realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he had missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the sage with an empty hand. The sage told him, "... this is love ... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have already missed the person...." "What is marriage then?" the student asked. The sage said, "In order to answer your question

Excellent one on reservations

This is an excellent piece of reading. Is it a Joke or plain Black Comedy or the future of my beloved country? OLD VERSION... The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold. MODERN VERSION... The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

I don't know how far this is true. I got it in my mail. Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice. Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called i
