TRIBUTE--(2)

  I suppose myself very lucky, because I got so good and generous father-in- law. He, really gave me support like my father. 40 years ago, this man of previous generation, encouraged me for more education and for my carrier. In Fact I was graduate at the time of my marriage,and according to the customs of that period, it was prestigious for the family, and after marriage, in every in-law family, it was expected that after marriage, the lady must give preference to the households and not to carrier. In such circumstances, he told me that I must take more education and start some honourable job, as I was scholar in my academic life. At the same time, he didn't compel me to choose any specific carrier. When I decided to take degree in law, he was happy. By chance, my guide in that field, was his friend.
         He also admired my cooking. On every festival, our family was joint family. And after gent’s  dinner, when we all ladies in family,took dinner, as a head of family, he always enquired whether every food item is sufficient for us and his more remarkable habit was that he was admiring the best food items of that day, then whoever might have prepared it.  What a positive encouragement for us! In my life, I noticed that this habit to admire the ladies of home, specially daughters-in-law, for their cooking skill is very rare. He had five daughters-in- laws, but he never scolded any among them.
       Some days ago, a newly married girl met me. She was complaining about the torture by her in-laws. She complained about her father-in-law that he was always abusing her, and for two times, he slapped her. At that time, I remembered my father-in-law's behaviour with me and I realised his greatness.

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...
