SAVITRI---- ANTI-SAVITRI

Every year,when June month starts, the Marathi women start to see the calendar to know on which day, Marathi month Jyeshtha is starting and on which day there is Vat Savitri Purnima.  Because after thousands of years, today also Savitri is the ideal wife for every married Marathi woman. Majority of these women yet respect their husband as a head of their family. Even though, now many ladies are earning money and have much freedom, yet they also respect their husband and his opinions.I know that there are some examples that in some families, the wife is of dominating nature and so in that family she is the head of their family. Yet at least,on Vat Savitri Purnima, these dominating wives also behave as an ideal wife. They also worship the bunyan tree and pray for husband's long life.
         But, when this June started,on T. V.news channel, I saw two shocking news about two ladies. One lady hired a killer to kill her husband. Because,by sailing a house, that husband had a chance to get thirty crore rupees, and his wife, to get these money, killed him through that killer. She gave that killer thirty lakh rupees. Another newly married lady, with the help of her lover, killed her husband when they were going for honeymoon.
       Do we have any words or any comments on these incidents?No at all. Only we can say that this is “Kaliyuga”and so any unexpected bad incidents can happen. So a lady, whose ideal was always Savitri, now also is and will be in future,yet ,in society, there can be any anti-Savitri like above two examples.

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...
