dehdays : the life story

 Boaring studies ?  Sometimes a boy from neighbourhood comes to me . He asks me to teach him the lessons already taught by his teachers. In every subject he wants something from me. He is learning in ninth standard in a well known school in a city . When I asked him how his teachers teach ? He said that  they come and read the lesson . That is the easiest way of teaching ! When I asked him further he told me that they never elaborate the similar  meanings of many words. Sometimes they don't say it even in a single word ! They don't try to know whether the students have understood or not ! I thought it as their method. At least they read aloud and something falls on the ears of students ! How much goes in head through the ears is a different thing !  I thought that this reading method has helped students to some extent. At least they know the pronunciations and how to read ! But when I asked this boy to read , he went on just reading as though he is running for a...

You have seen that my life has many ups and downs. They are strange. That's why my struggle becomes more difficult. I had accepted this. But, I didn't know what was lying in coming years...particularly after my retirement. Now, it is more than five years after I retired ... Actually, the last five years phase started after my retirement. I was in a government service. I retired in November 2018. Now it is five years plus. I simply thought that everything will go smoothly, at least, after the retirement. Unfortunately, it was not so. Few things went wrong.  First , my income level decreased to fifty percent , as I became a pensioner. It was obvious and according to government rules. This government rules called G. R. in short , created an unfortunate joke in one of the  offices. Once upon a time, a man became a head of a Zillha Parishad. He had little education. In politics , education has very little role . This man was elected by voters and that was the only elegibility that ...

 A New Phase in life   Life was like a standstill . It was a few days before , nothing specific was happening. I waited for a long . I was doing some videos and publishing them on #youtube . I have been doing this for last two consecutive years. You Tube team has been so nice in helping that I continued even when I was not in a mood to do so. So I went on the video making and publishing. There was #facebook to where I was wandering for a longer time. Particularly for #gazal_writing . I have posted my Marathi and Hindi Gazals on Facebook . The numbers does not matter, but few of the gazals were really liked and commented by more  ! This was the scene , but still I was not in a good swing. The family problems continued and the solutions were not in a sight anywhere ! I was almost going through a phase of depression. Two things kept me alive ! Blogger and You Tube .  Blogger and You Tube I started blogging on blogger many years before I created my first channel on YouTu...

  Just going on ... Life is not easily understandable . It plays tricks one after another. Nothing is in my hands. Everything is flowing and flying. If I try to catch or hold , it escapes out of my hands. The path has become slippery. I am just taking care to walk soberly. I have to keep balancing myself. That is what I can do at this hour. That is the only thing at my hand. Of course , I am going to do that. I will keep on walking and at the same time keep an eye on that moment when I will have firm hold on my life. It requires a great amount of patience , which I have to gather from time to time . Full mind control is essential at every step. This stepping is not easy , but  I will  definitely see that moment when I will have full command on what is happening. Today it is not the situation to make any move or decision . That is why I am just going on . I am almost passing the time ! Present is due to past  I know that today is not only today. It is the outcome of p...

  R etired from Government Service   I have retired from Government Service on 30.11.2018 . Thirty three years' service ended . It was nice to serve the people from the government office. Few things look very different from that angle . It was easy to contact the people and discuss about their problems, work or difficulty . It was my most preferred area of work . I have always been looking forward to make the people satisfied by giving them the necessary support. Fortunately I was in educational institution . A well known government technical education institute in our state. One of the oldest institute in state too ! Established in 1961 . I was borned in 1960 . Immediately after that the institute was established. Nobody knew then , that after 25 years , I will be serving there .  Miles away from home As an educational institute , there were obviously students who came to learn . They came there to become engineers . Many of them were coming from a longer distance . Mil...

The Golden days of my life :                  Those were the golden days of my life. My high school days. My lovely high school days. Really, really beautiful days. I was a village boy. My high school – New English School, Jaitapur - was also situated in a village. It was established in 1902. I was borned in 1960. I was there because my father was in service in the same village. I was very fond of my father. I went where he was. My mother was in another village from where I came. My father's mother was with us. I was very fond of her too ! In my high school education, I got nice teachers and also my classmates were very nice. Satish, Sai, Uday and I were very close friends. Now Satish and Sai are in Mumbai and Uday is somewhere in Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra State in India.                  I can't remember the first day t...

I was waiting long for it and now I am getting it ! I am becoming more positive in these days . Perhaps, for the first time in my life, such a nice period has come ! I am really really glad . I am enjoying it ! I think all my life dreams are going to come into reality . Friends be with me ! Let's enjoy this lovely time ! Let's love it ! That was way back in 2014...

But it was not the same all the time ! Th...

 It is a story of a  comeback , written on 23 November, 2014.... ( A flashback ) Those old days . . .     I started blogging in the year 2006. At that time , I was not fully aware of blogging. I was not prepared for it. But, I had an attraction of computers . I had used first computer in way back in 1996. I am from a remote rural area in India. At that time, I was working under one of my colleges Mr. Sunil Satywan Mayekar from Malvan . He actually forced me to use computer and increased my interest in computer work. We were using the dos base computers with black and white screen monitors at that time. Computers made my office work so easy that I became fond of them. In 1999 I came across the colour monitors  and then after some years I was attracted towards the internet. I do not remember when I first came to know about the internet, but when I came across it, I was just attracted towards it ! Of course, there were very little chances to use it ! When I st...

  How do you think are the days ?  How do you think are the days  ? What is meant by word ' days ' ? The 365 days , 7 days of the week, days in 2020, Days Gone , how any days or how are the days ? Here we are related to ' how are the days ' ? Especially, the Dehdays ! Not so good. Yes, the Dehdays are not so good. People are dying  by Corona  , as the system announced . No other name of any diseases are on the records now a days ! Where are they ? Where are the names of the most dangerous  diseases just a year and a half ago ? You just can't listen anything except the greatest corona. It is worldwide. It has reached now in villages. We are lossing our loved ones. Nobody dares to visit the dead's house ! Why ? Why this is so ? Humans are forced to become unhuman ? Why ? Why this is so ? 

  In the mid July 2020 Let's see what happens next ... that was a line I wrote a year before. It was a ray of hope I said in the previous post. The next three days are like this : The ray of hope extended a bit and it resulted in  the coming home of my son. We were glad He came in mid July 2020 and since then working from home. It is nice as you have thought and it is indeed nice to be with family, but there is something strange and sad in it too, which is still happening in my family. This whole period we have been undergoing tension almost every day ! The son must be asking himself, " where am I ? " and we both are asking " why this is so " ? !  On the verge of family break up      We have been a silent and happy family. We were together in almost everything. But this time, during the whole year, we are facing a threat to our United family. Our son has changed. A good boy has changed. Still he loves us  , but unfortunately something has stood among u...

Let's continue....  My family has a story too ! Friends, you know that every family has a story and you also know that my family has a story too ( of course you don't , that is why I am telling you 😀😀😀! ) !  In fact,  in   my last post  , you read that my grandma's brother brought her to our homeland. Thank you for reading that part.  Now let's go ahead. This time,  I am extending the story of my grandmother.   My Courageous Grandmother         The very first thing I tell you about her is , she had no happiness in her whole life.  Still she fought her way bravely. She had the courage to tolerate every bad incident. She was very simple in nature.  Very kind  ! At the same time,  she was firm too !  As you read in the previous story of my grandfather,  my grandmother's brother brought her and my father from Mumbai to our homeland.  There she lived in her brother's...

Friends,   every family has a story. I know friends that you love your family.   You know many things about your family.  You tell few things about your family and you don't tell few things about your family . Everybody does this.  We all have special place in our mind for our families . Every family has a story.  My family has it too !   I am going to tell you many things about my family because they are the part of dehdays   ! Let's start from my grandfather.  My Grandfather :             Everybody is not lucky to see his or her grandparents.  I am half lucky . I could see my grandmother.  I couldn't see my grandfather, but I came to know from my grandmother about him.  I can't go beyond my grandfather as I don't know about the previous generations or I am not able to recollect that information if my grandmother had told me. My grandfather was a cotton mill worker in Mumbai.  I am telling y...

S tormy starting in Deogad My dear friends,  this is the starting of my life story.  I call it stormy starting as I met the life's first storm when I was just 7 months old  ! Then onwords, my lifestyle has bacome stormy ! In those days, my father was in Government service.  At that time,  his posting was at Deogad , in old Ratnagiri District.  Now it is in Sindhudurg District. One day, a cyclone came. As the storm increased its speed,  part of the roof  collapsed over my cradle.  When my parents removed it,  they found me safe  ! They must have been relieved ! I was not aware about what was going on,  but nothing had happened to me  ! I was alive  ! My parents must have thanked the God ! That was my first meeting with the storm !  Next time,  I will tell you more about storms in Dehdays : my life story  ! The second storm So that was my first handshake with the stormy weather  ! Point is that I...

Hard days  Since March 2020 , it was really hard for dehdays.  There are tensions in life as we are far away from our son in these days of Corona virus pandemic.  He can't cook his daily meals and he has learnt to manage it anyhow, within the last few months. His mother gives cooking instructions on mobile and he cooks a accordingly. We are not able to know how tasty the food becomes. We are not able to eat properly as we keep on thinking what he is eating there , how he is living lonely there . We are worried about him. He has to do his office work plus his home work. Both way it is work from home for him !  Due to corona virus we are not able to go to Pune to stay with him.  A Turning Point  .... ?    But it looks now that there is a ray of hope . Government has permitted now to move to the other districts . So we can go there in coming ten to fifteen days. Turning point is ahead. Our son was living lonely on the second floor as his n...

We are NEW Here ! Everything is new to us.  As you know friends that we had been shifted to a new city and you also came to know about our flat owner,  his family and our neighbors.  This has been told in my post  Journey to the new city  As we have come here we have to face few new problems as a newcomer. Here is a list of some problems that we have to face with  :                 Everything  is new .        The people,  the area, the surroundings, the market , the shop owners , the flat itself and the lack of some common facilities in the flat , etc.  As everything is new , one has to read everything carefully.  Even you have to guess and judge the people coming into your contact. This is the most difficult and testing time for every newcomer in any new area. So you have to study , experience and implement as per the situations.           ...
