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.

PURITY

  Even though, adulteration is crime, now a day, there is adulteration in almost every thing. There is adulteration in eatables like oil, ghee, mustard, turmeric, chilli powder, pepper, salt, honey, saffron, pulses,panir, ice-cream. There are chemicals sprinkled on vegetables to look fresh. Many times, fruits are rippen with the help of chemicals. Many times, apples are coated with wax to look attractive and fresh. Many times, watermelons are injected with chemicals to be sweet and red. In farms the farmers are using so much fertilizer, that it is affecting the crops and that crop is becoming injurious for health. In gold and silver jewelry, there can be adulteration of  alloyed metal. If we become ill because of the adulteration,and we take medicine, there is adulteration in medicine also. In short, today, purity has become rare.       This purity hasn't become rare only in eatables and other things, but also in mankind's relationship. So ma...

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...

Normal journey became a trip

Experience of trip is always delightful and memorable because we spend a lot of time with nature during trip much time we live with nature. But imagine if the nature accompanies you in your normal journey! Then that journey itself becomes a delightful and memorable trip.                                           Once, I experienced such journey.That journey was not at all arranged as a trip nor it was a long journey.I remember that it was 6th June and we all know that generally the climate is extremely hot during that time. That day too, the climate was extremely hot. I had to travel from Thane to Bhusawal. I started my journey from Thane in the afternoon at one o’clock. It was too hot to tolerate and we all were sweating and feeling very tired. Our train started in such climate and as it was arriving at the next station, we were experiencing various shades of nature. After an hour...
