GIFT OF CIVILIZED CULTURE

Wish you all Happy Sankranti.
     This is the first festival of this new year. This festival is really started by our civilised ancestors with the intention to    abolish enmity and to motivate harmony in society. So there is custom that on this day, we forget the quarrels with others and give sesame and jaggery to all with the request to speak sweetly. But now a day what are we doing? On first January, we are wishing happy new year, on second January, we are doing riots, on 14th January again we are greeting all with the request to speak sweetly and on 26th January we are showing our patriotism. Whether the main intention behind celebrating
Sankranti can be fulfilled by such behaviour? Or now we don't need harmony,or now we have lost our power to think and are allowing the political leaders to use us as puppets. Really now this is the necessity of time for everyone to use our conscience and to behave according to our own decisions.
           In our India, almost in every state, this festival is celebrated in different ways and in different names. In South India,this festival is known as Pongal. In Bengal, it is known as Bhogi- Bihu. In Bihar, on this day,the people make centric rice. In Himachal Pradesh, on this day, some people tie bird’s or the sun’s images in children's neck. In Orissa, there is a custom to illuminate on this day. In Andhra Pradesh, on this day , the people celebrate Mukkanuma
       In our Maharashtra, some years ago, there was custom to prepare Halwa from sesame and sugar with hands. Now readymade Halwa made by machinery is available in market. So the art to make Halwa by hands is vanishing. Yet the tradition of making jewellery of readymade Halwa is still in existence.
             So, this is again a gift given by our ancient civilized culture to combine art with festival. So in Diwali we colour and decorate our house, on every festival we draw beautiful Rangoli , for Ganesh Utsav we decorate the place with new ideas. So salute to our ancestors who thought about nature, health,art and virtue while arranging our festivals.

JAGO GRAHAK JAGO

Today is “Jagtik Grahak Din”. So all consumers, wish you that in coming year , not a single seller should deceive you. Now a day, govt. is trying to aware the consumers by the advertisement” Jago Grahak Jago”. But there is a doubt in my mind whether the consumer is really slept? Or is he pretending to be slept?Because this consumer when goes to market to buy coriander or a coconut, he enquires the price at 3 - 4 vendors,shakes the coconut 3 - 4 times before purchasing and warns the vendor that he will replace the coconut if it will not be good after breaking open. In newspaper, many times there is a news that a cheater, pretending to polish gold jewellery, deceived someone. Again many times, there is news in newspaper about various bogus schemes. In such bogus schemes, there are very attractive lures promised by the seller. Even a man of common sense, will understand that in this world, there can't be a single business -man,who will be running his shop for loss. Yet, every day ,

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY

Hallo friends! Today is Women's day. Many persons believe that woman is God's mysterious creation. So woman is very difficult to understand. So in our society there are contradictory views about the woman. Some persons consider her as gateway of hell. According to them, she is the reason of many quarrels and battles. There was battle between Ram and Ravan,Kaurav and Pandavas only because of woman. In many houses, there are quarrels between two brothers only because of their wives. So they treat her as chapple, which should be suppressed under feet. Now and then, such persons beat her for very small reason. They think that after doing sins in the lives of 28 Yug,the human being gets woman's life,so now she must expiate all sins.              On other hand, some persons consider her as  facsimile of Goddess,Adishakti,Adimaya,Gruhalaxmi. So such persons think that woman is worshipable . But in such circumstances, unknowingly they impose so many expectations on her. Accord

SUCCESS MANTRAS--(2)

For success, there can't be only a single mantra, but when  there is mixture of many success mantras in proper proportion, that person can be a successful person.  Every day, we listen and see many examples of adulteration in market and so we don't trust easily any company or any businessman. So for them means for the company and the businessman, it's very important and difficult to achieve the trust of consumers. At the same time, it is also true that to achieve the trust, only integrity is the best remedy. There is no other option for it.
