Recently I saw a movie titled Evdhase Aabhal. The movie is very simple in its narration. It captures the storms in the small universe of a child. Its the story of an 11 year old boy – Bunty – and his divorced parents. Both the parents are working successfully in their professions. Bunty is played by Rutwik Nadkarni while the parents are Pratiksha Lonkar and Ashok Shinde. The movie starts with the parents being granted divorce and Pratiksha gets the custody of Bunty. She later marries and Bunty tries to adjust with this new family but fails miserably. He then goes to his father. His “new” mother takes a liking to him and sympathizes with him. He is just beginning to get used to this new family but then his father shifts him to a boarding school. Full marks to the director Bipin Nadkarni and his team for bringing out the angst and mental trauma of a child who is made to chose between the two persons he loves, needs and knows. It is agonising to watch Bunty's predicament as he ...

I g ot this in a forwarded email. आभाळमाया - असं असतं का प्रेम? एका डॉक्‍टरांकडे एक ८०-८५ वर्षांचे म्हातारे गृहस्थ आपल्या जखमेचे टाके काढून घ्यायला गेले. सकाळी ८.३० चा सुमार. ते डॉक्‍टरांना म्हणाले, थोडं लवकर होईल का काम? मला ९ वाजता एकीकडे जायचंय. डॉक्‍टरांसमोर त्या क्षणी काहीच काम नव्हतं. त्यांनी जखम तपासली, सामानाची जमवाजमव केली आणि टाके काढायची तयारी केली. दरम्यान, ते त्या गृहस्थाशी गप्पा मारत होते. "आजोबा, ९ वाजता दुसऱ्या डॉक्‍टरांची अपॉइंटमेंट आहे का?'' "नाही! मला ९ वाजता माझ्या बायकोबरोबर नाश्‍ता करायला दुसऱ्या हॉस्पिटलमध्ये जायचंय.'' "हॉस्पिटलमध्ये? आजारी आहेत का त्या?'' "हो! गेली पाच वर्षे हॉस्पिटलमध्येच आहे ती.'' "अच्छा! आणि तुम्ही वेळेवर गेला नाहीत, तर वाट पाहतील ना त्या? काळजीही करतील...?'' "नाही डॉक्‍टर. तिला "अल्झायमर्स' झालाय. ती गेली पाच वर्षे कोणालाच ओळखत नाही.'' आजोबा शांतपणे म्हणाले. डॉक्‍टर चकित होऊन म्हणाले, "आणि तरीही तुम्ही रोज त्यांच्याबरोबर नाश्‍ता करायला इतक्‍या वेळेवर ...

गंम्मत आहे .... १२ – १२ तास वीज गायब तरी बिल मात्रं भरमसाठ भेसळीचे महाग पेट्रोल घ्यायचे, शिवाय PUC पण द्यायचे! रस्त्यावर वाहतुकीची बोंब तरीही रोड tax द्यायचा परिसर अस्वच्छ तरीही property tax द्यायचा गंम्मत आहे .... पैशासाठी भिकारीण मुलाला चौकात नाचवते पैशासाठी उच्चभ्रू आई मुलाला राखीच्या शो मधे भाड्याने देते खाजगीत पापं करणारे पांढरे शुभ्र कपडे घालतात आणि जगाला नैतीकतेचे पाठ देतात गंम्मत आहे .... चंद्र ही भासावा स्वस्त असा भाव सोन्याचा होई एक किलोच्या भावात अर्धा किलो साखर येई राजकारण्यांना निवडणूकीच्या धांदलीत वेळ नाही तरीही देशातील जनतेला दिवाळीची घाई

All the major political parties have published their manifestos to lure the voter in the Assembly elections in Maharashtra. I have some questions to ask these politico’s. Since there is no way that I would get access to them I am raising these stupid questions (in italics) here on my blog. The main question is why haven’t they taken steps when they were in power? Congress-NCP • The manifesto mentions a masterplan for ‘Vision Mumbai’ to develop the metropolis as an international financial hub within five years. – Dear rulers what have you done in the past 10 years for the betterment of Mumbai and its citizens? • Extension of Pune-Mumbai Expressway up to Sion, completion of Mumbai-Nashik Expressway – Is there an action plan for the maintenance of these highways? What is the time period for completion? How long would toll be charged on these highways? • Establishing crisis management group for Mumbai city are the other key proposals. – What has been done since the attack on Mumbai? Have y...

Today I want to share the unpleasant experience I had with Airtel digital TV. I am a happy broadband customer, the technology Airtel offers for DTH is good and so is the advertising. These factors made me to go for Airtel’s DTH service inspite of having Tata Sky dish installed for my building. Saturday 26 th September 2009 5pm. I paid Rs.4850 for the installation and one years rent for the entire package. Saturday 26 th September 2009 5.30 pm Called up the customer care on 1800 102 8080 and fixed the time for installation of the equipment next day at 10am on Sunday 27 th September 2009. Now the fun started. Sunday 27 th September 2009 11.30 am Waited till 11.30am for the installation guy. But neither did he come nor did he or Airtel have the courtesy of calling me to inform that he wasn’t available. I called the customer care yet again. The customer care guy admitted that he did not have any updates but requested me to wait for till 1pm. Sunday 2...

(My view of the problem). Sugar prices have risen very high in the recent past. The share prices of some sugar companies are trading at all time highs. So what must have caused sugar to taste bitter? The government has admitted that there is a shortfall of 5-million-tonnes this year between India’s sugar demand and supply. So the wise men in the government debated on the pro’s and con’s of importing sugar. Then, the government asked STC, MMTC and PEC to import white sugar. But then importing sugar at international prices and selling them nationally at low prices didn’t make sense. Prices kept rising. In the meantime the sugar time bomb was ticking. The festival season is approaching followed by elections in Maharashtra. The commodity futures trading in sugar was banned in May with the intention of curbing high prices, so no one had a clue how high the prices would rise. The prices continued their upward journey. The next action from the government was to issue warning to “hoarders”. Th...
