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 , above mentioned incidents of deceiving happen.
        The reality is that, in this world, some fraudulent vendors as well as the consumers both are very clever and there is always a competition between them. Some consumers are always trying to save money and to achieve more and more in less expenditure. Infact ,to save money isn't bad at all. Again the consumer wishes to provide comfort to his family members in his limited income. Moreover, in these days of growing dearth, the consumer has to be economical. Many times, he is helpless.  But some fraudulent vendors take disadvantages of consumer’s this weak-point. They find out various attractive new schemes and easily deceive the consumers.
 
            Some days ago, I have listened that some builders came together and built a township on an unauthorised land. They sold these flats at half price to the consumers. They prepared sale-deed only on stamp of Rs.500, and without registration.Yet the consumers were ready to buy, and all flats were sold. Afterward this township was legalised. So in such cases, whom will you blame? Even though there are laws to prevent such deceiving, it is necessary that the consumer also should be alert.
        Now, on 18th March, there is Gudi Padva. So let us pledge on our first day of the new year according to Marathi Calendar that in this new year we (all consumers) shall try to take precautions as much as possible. So, wish you Happy Gudi Padva also with this Jagtik Grahak Din.

ON JANMASHTAMI

  It is believed that God always behaves ideal. So almost our all myths when tell us about God’s incarnation as a human being, they draw His character as ideal in His childhood and in young age also. Only,God Krishna is shown as behaving according to the age like a human being. From His childhood and in His throughout whole life, there is a mischievousness, which is very much liked by all human beings. Perhaps so, everyone feels more attachment for Krishna. Because, even in old age also even an ideal and disciplined human being likes mischievousness, though he himself could never behave so. In childhood, Krishna played fully with his friends, even stole curd and butter from milkmaid's houses with friends. At the same time, being God, he killed many monsters also. In young age, He played “Rasleela”with the milkmaid's. When He helped Arjuna to marry with His sister Subhadra, very mischievously he deceived Balaram. It means God Krishna is the best combination of God and human be...

Colours of the days

Yesterday,I met our family friend -a retired person- and as formality, I asked him that how he was, he started to complain about his retired life. His main complaint was that for him now every day was similar to another,no change, no zest. Even on festival also except for some time, the remaining day was very dull for him. While speaking, he referred that after retirement, his all days are of grey colour,and yes, I also agreed with him on the point that days also have colours and various shades.                       Even though grammatically,a day is a concept and so it has no colour, no shape,no size. Again logically, day after day comes and it makes a week, month,a year and our life goes on. So a day doesn't differ from other days. Yet practically we have experience that if on a day, the climate is cloudy for the whole day, everyone feels dull, and as grey colour is symbol o...

TRIBUTE---(4)

 In last week,I have started the topic--Tribute to teachers. But,as in my life,I met many too good teachers,I must continue the topic. Till, we were learning in tenth class, sometimes, we all students from my class, were insisting our some specific teachers to relieve us for playing on ground or for telling us any story in the period. And the teachers were indulging it. When I was learning in eighth class, my father was our class-teacher. In the beginning of the year, I was in tension that if my father would punish the students in my class, those students would take revenge on me. But, such never happened. My father never punished us, and he became their favourite teacher. At that time I realised that the students in our whole school, were honouring my father not because of fear, but to show the respect towards him.             When I was learning in the tenth class, there was Kotwal madam to teach us Sanskrit. She...
