1.Childhood friend named Sudama comes to meet the Lord krishna at his entrance. The god goes himself towards Sudama to welcome him and tastes the bitten rice prepared by the friend happily.
2. One Easop's fable: Long Long ago there was a lion, who relieves a mouse on it's request. Later, the mouse releases him from a lion-trapping net.
The moral: a Friend in need, is a Friend indeed!
3.Bollywood movie titled 'Dosti',in which two friends, one of them is blind and another is disabled.They have coloured nice Friendship in the black& white movie.
I have grown-up with these three things in my mind from childhood. I left my home in the quest of education, when I was not even of thirteen years old.Whenever, I get a flashback of last 13 years of staying away from my family, i see many kinds of Friends and Friendships, due to virtue of which my mind is nurtured from being to well-being.
There are many kinds of friends, you can say,
1.which makes you laugh and reduce your tensions,
2.which shows you mistakes,
3.which pats you on your success and gets happy,
4.which helps you in your studies,
5.which gives attension when you are hospitalised,
6.which handles your parents,
7.which gives you his shoulder to cry.
There are many kind of Friendships too,
1.Cause friendship: when cause(studies, job etc.) ends,friendship becomes faint or ends.(is this a real friendship?)
2.Long distance friendship: here attachment is depended on the hearts(and not on the brain strictly)which are in the friendship.
3.Opposite-sex friendship: This is most delicate type.It comes with a tag 'Handle With Care."When any misunderstandings put their heads-on, the beautiful friendship ends.
4.Long lasting friendship: Amongst distance, silly fightings, misunderstandings; it goes continuously.It doesn't matter whatever matter lies between them.
I tell,
There should be mutual understanding, support, encouragement. There should not be jealousy,attitude or ego. If there is any fighting and nobody is breaking the ice; psychology says, speak with the friend within 6 months to get attached as before. Don't feel low.
Initiate yourself, apologize or forgive; make mind free and broad!
At last "Good Friendship is the Heaven on the Earth!"

विविध रंगांत नटलेला "नटरंग"
चित्रपटातील रंग आणि रंगभुमीवरचे रंग खूप वेगळे असतात. पडद्यावरील त्या रंगांना सीमा नसते. कृत्रिम, लोभसवाणे, चमचमणारे असे ते वाटतात. रंगभुमीवर तेच रंग जिवंत व खूप बोलके भासतात.पण, रंगभुमीच्या पार्श्वभुमीवर एखादा चित्रपट निघाला तर? अहो, दुधात साखरच म्हणा हवं तर. 'नटरंग' म्हणूनच ह्रदय-स्पर्शी कलाकृती वाटते.
गुणा (अतुल कुलकर्णी) भारदस्त शरिरयष्टीचा शेतकरी दाखवला आहे. स्वत्तः मधला प्रचंड रसिक, शेतीतील निराशा व मित्रांची संगत त्याला 'तमाशाचा फड' उभा करायला भाग पाडते.तमाशात 'बाई नाही, तर काही नाही' हे पटल्यावर अभिनेत्री सोनालीचा प्रवेश होतो.'कलाकराने कोणत्याही भुमिकेबद्दल कमीपणा मानू नये', हे उमजल्यावर तो 'नाच्या'ची भूमिका करण्यासाठी अक्षरशः कंबर कसतो.
चित्रपटाच्या मध्यांतरानंतर अतुलला पाहून तोंडाचा 'आ' वासतो. तब्बल १५ किलो वजन कमी केलेला, केस वाढवलेले, भुवया कोरलेल्या,चाल बदललेली! शृंगार करून तो रंगभुमीवर कंबर लचकवत, नाक मुरडत,दातात ओठ धरत प्रवेश करतो; तेव्हा आपल्या डोळ्यांच्या पापण्या लवतच नाहीत.
त्यानंतर त्याच्या कामगिरीला मिळणारी वाहवा जितकी आनंददायी, तितकेच त्याची वैय्यक्तीक जीवन चरित्र विषद रंग भरत जाते.वडील, बायको, गाव, फडातील मंडळी, विरोधक या सगळ्या गोष्टींतून त्याचे रंग फिसकटत जातात.
प्रवाहाच्या विरुध्द दिशेने जायचे असेल, तर खूप नेटानं जावं; नाहीतर स्वतःचं अस्तित्व गमावून बसवावं लागतं.सर्वस्व गमावलेला गुणा म्हणतो,"ज्या ठिकाणी आपली वस्तू हरवली, ती तिथंच शोधायची असते." गुणा सर्वस्व गमावूनही, तिची साथ मिळाल्यावर खंबीर उभा राहतो, पुढे जात राहतो. आपल्या जीवनात हां प्रसंग प्रेरणादायी आहे.
द्रव्याच्या तीन अवस्थांपैकी मला द्रव अवस्था (liquid state) फार आवडते. कारण, ती ज्या आकाराच्या भांड्यात ओतली जाते, त्याचा आकार ती घेते. अतुलने ती अवस्था या चित्रपटात मिळवली, असे वाटत राहते.
'स्त्री रुप फुलवी नटरंग', 'रसिक हो', या गाण्यांबरोबर 'मला जाऊ द्या ना घरी', 'अप्सरा आली' या ठसकेबाज लावण्या चित्रपटातील प्रेक्षकांप्रमाणे चित्रपटगृहातील प्रेक्षकांकडूनही शिट्या न् टाळ्या कमवतात.
शेवटी मराठी नृत्य प्रकार-लावणी- पिढ्यान् पिढ्या ज्यांनी जपल्या त्यांना मानाचा मुजरा केलाय, तो विनम्र वाटतो.
महाराष्ट्र्-राज्य सरकारचा 'सर्वोत्कृष्ट चित्रपट','सर्वोत्कृष्ट अभिनेता' विजेता हा 'नटरंग' रसिकांच्या मनाला एक नवी छटा देऊन जाईल, हे नक्की!
अतुलनीय अतुलला व संगीतकार अजय-अतुल यांना माझा मानाचा मुजरा!

Sizzling Menus in the kitchen of Chef Hiraani..
Long long ago, there was a king Midas, who prayed to his God and demanded a wish. After that, the things were becoming Golden, to whatever he was touching... forget the moral.
In this era, there is a chef named Rajkumar Hirani.He is having very tasty menus,in his kitchen,for eg. Munnabhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai and recently sizzling menu is '3 idiots'.
In all items, he puts best chemistry with great spices called 'Jaaduki Zappi'(Miracle Hug), 'Gandhigiri' and 'All Is Well' respectively. Due to these stuffs, the taste-buds of eating-lovers will remember his recipe a lifelong time.
JAADUKI ZAPPI:
A warm hug given to parents or friends creats magic really. One who offers it is hugger; the one who receives it, is the huggee. Both parties benefit: the huggee has shoulder to cry/lean on; the hugger gets bragging rights. None other than Mata Amritanandamayi(a spiritual guru) knows the great power of hug. Be true with your parents, is best moral of the movie.
GANDHIGIRI:
Give respect, get respect; is all right. But even "one should behave good to the people who are not behaving good with us" is the teaching of Mahatma Gandhi. My mother taught me the same lesson in my childhood. That I have composed in verse form of my poem 'Maazi Aai'(My Mother).The words are,
"Jari kuni pasarle tichya watewar kaate,
tari tila tyanchya margi phule pasaravese waate."
I am trying to follow her path in my life. And many times, I have experienced the unexpected returnings. The dialogue writer of Lage raho Munnabhai is Abhijat Joshi,a teacher and great fan of Gandhiji.He has won many awards for his work. Respect to elders, is great moral in the movie.
ALL IS WELL:
In any work,nothing is needed, but Positive thinking and Confidence. That comes from the mantra, "All is well, All is well."It is proved in the movie '3 idiots' with demo. The Holy Bhagvadgita also reveals,
" Whatever Happened was Good,
Whatever is Happening is also Good,
Whatever will happen that also will be Good"
An Engineering student can apply his knowledge in medical field, to help a baby for taking his birth; is a great scene in the movie.
The social work and public awareness done by the director Rajkumar Hirani, Dialogue writer Abhijat Joshi,lyricist Swanand Kirkire is awesome. The concepts are older, but they are putting in their own and attractive ways.
Sanjay Dutt (Munnabhai), Aamir Khan (Ryancho) have given good justice to their roles. They have played such humourous, mature, social roles; by which young generation as well as oldies also will think about 'Future India'.
LIVE LONG RAJKUMAR HIRANI!!

Bang! Bang!! Bangalore!!!
I moved to Bangalore city, in the middle of september of year 2009. The cool city hugged me warmly.The city is located approximately 3000m above the sea level,so the environment is cool. The city baths in the rain nearly daily, as per my starting experience.
Initially, I was staying with my old (Chennai and Pune)friends at H.A.L. area. On the very first week-end only, I enjoyed a trip with my friends to a waterfall at Shivsamudram, on Bangalore-Mysore road.
Then shifted to a 1BHK flat and now staying with three old friends, in the same area.
I explored in the city for training, project,full time/part time job,home tuition.I was enjoying beauty of the Garden city, while traveling sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. I visited Sir Vishveshvarayya Technological Museum, on the Engineer's Day (15th Sept.). The museum is feast for our eyes really! There are many scientific moving objects,3D show,games ,books. The full scale model of Wright brother's aeroplane, caused my fingers to put in my mouth!
The city is having a mammoth traffic, but gearing up for Metro train now.The people can understand National (Hindi) language.(which was main problem I have faced in Chennai city before.)
Before coming here,I was totally innocent about professional and corporate life after academics. The graph of living cost is steeper in this city as compared to Chennai. I am learning to cook my food with daily new experiments.
As like Chennai, I am enjoying to visit Maharashtra Mandal here also.I laughed a lot, while watching a live-drama "Olakh Na Palakh" of Prashant Damle. There was Jallosh-2009 program, where marathi-youngsters rocked the stage, with marathi celebrities Atul Parachure and Pushkar Shrotri.
Old friends, daily new experience, eye-soothing gardens and romantic climate... My mind started to fall in love with the gorgeous capital of Karnataka State (India).

Nostalgia about Chennai...!
I was staying in Chennai, nearly the Earth revolved around the Sun five times. Hence, I deserve 'green card' from the Tamilnadu Govt. Though I have moved from 'hot' Chennai to 'cool' Bangalore, I am missing the days I have spent there.
The days were 'darker' really,in the environment point of view.As the 'Temple Town' is on the East cost of India,the sun was waking up earlier there. The morning session was really cool. But, as the 'time machine' runs ahead,the sun start to vomit fire.Nobody can dare to walk in the sun-rays (sun-arrows). You can feel a layer of sweat on your body whole day,even in the night; as the Earth starts to radiate heat at that time.
The evening breeze was giving soothing effect. You can feel the value of it at that time, followed by scorching afternoon. The mind goes happy while roaming at that time to the temples of Anjaneya,Vithhal,Aadinath;Karuneegar street, GIE road,St.Thomas mount.Most memories are of with heavy studies, cooking experiments, great laughters,silly fightings,beach roamings, cricket,Ganesh Festival(Ganesh-pooja,drama, singing,dancing,unity)with our group AVIATORS, and all Marathi,non-Marathi friends.
The people living there are spiritual, lovers of their traditions and language.They use to wear loongis and silk sarees.They are crazy about movies,Bharatnatyam dance,classical music.
Your taste-buds can feel the mouth-watering tastes of South-Indian dishes.There are oodles of varieties of idli,dosa,vada,rice, sambar and rassam.The tradition to serve the food on banana-leaf feels touchy. Butter milk, curd, juices, cold drinks are additional, but like compulsory due to the weather. You can get bananas to eat after dinner even in small shops also.The tea, coffee also have different touch there.
Best teachers,bester owners,and bestest friends, from whom I have learned a lot on the soil.
Hence, the Nostalgia.
THANK YOU AND MISS YOU CHENNAI A LOT!!
