People in general have two complexes. One is Superiority Complex and other is inferiority
complex. Both are dangerous. Try to be in middle , that is do not consider yourself too superior
and too inferior that will harm your self respect.

Change- Change is an inevitable part of human life. Nothing is permanent. Due to changes in
nature, there are different seasons like winter , summer, rainy. Due to change there are days &
night. After marriage girl has to go to new house and adjust change. I feel persons have to
adjust to changes as early as possible. I will share one experience, my son will go to Sr.Kg next
year. His current academic year will end on 1 st week of April. He is emotional. He asked me,
aai I will miss my teachers, class mates. I explained him, Soham it is part of our life. every year
you will get new teachers, if same thing continues person will get bored with the routine. Some
persons are not ready to accept the change easily. Mother in laws are not ready to hand over
household duties and responsibilities to their daughter in laws easily.

Habits - Habits means activities you do regularly everyday. Habits can be classified into two
categories I.e Good Habits, Bad Habits. Good Habits for example excercising every day,
Reading books, gardening plants, learning new language. Bad habits means inspite of knowing
illl effects of smoking addiction of smoking, alcohol, biting of nail, speaking at persons back. It
is human tendency that person take up bad habits easily than good habits. I request try to
cultivate good habits of other persons than bad habits.

Holi- In India there are many festivals celebrated throughout the year. Holi is the last festival
celebrated according to Hindu Calendar. It falls in the month of Phalgun Shudha Poornima. As
the legand goes, 'holi' is named after ' Holika', the sister of cruel king Hiranya Kashyap. The
king claimed himself to be Almighty and asked all her subjects to worship him instead of God.
But his own son, Prahalad worshipped God, not the king. Holika was blessed not to be burnt in
the fire, so she tried to kill Prahalad on insistence of the king by sitting in pyre with Prahalad.
Prahalad came hale and hearty out of the pyre but Holika was burnt to ashes. Thus holi marks
the victory of good over evil. Now the huge bonfire is burnt on the day of holi. The next day of
holi is 'Rangapanchami' where people smear colours on each other. I was just discussing about
holi festival with my mother in law . She told the story that we used to celebrate holi in villages
to destroy the garbage, wood in bon fire and to clean the village for 'Gudi Padva'. I am of the
opinion that instead of following tradition year after year without any modification , We need
to modify this festival by not burning the fire but taking oath on that day that We all are bound
to keep our surrounding clean throughout the year and thus can avoid pollution on day of holi
due to fire. On the day of ' Rangapanchmi' people should take oath not to waste water which is
the important resource of mankind. Wishing you all happy holi. Enjoy the festival and think on
my point.

Expectation - Expectation means thinking a particular thing to be happened in certain ways.
Everybody has different expectation and if other person do not behave in the way we say that
he or she has satisfied our expectation. Parents expect good marks from their children. Husband
expects his wife should have all qualities , that is she should be smart, able to do household
work, working. Wife expects husband should be smart, good earning capacity. I will share one
experience my friend is yet to get married , she is only daughter of her parents.They are
searching husband for her for last 10 years. I suggested her one boy who is Civil Engineer , he
has his own house in Malad and works in company.She is Physiotherapists and she does not
have job as such .She attends patient on call. Her mummy called boy' s mother and ask his
information and his package . His package is around Rs.8 lakh per annum which she considers
less. She called me and said I am not going further since his package is less. According to me
her expectation is irrational. In this case I feel money is the only thing she is expecting not other
things. Sometimes person has to adjust. Expectation should be rational otherwise one will
always be unsatisfied. What is your opinion about Expectation? What things do you expect
from others? What things do you feel other expect from you? Make a list and you can shre it on
comment box.

Savitri Bai Phule Smruti Din- On 8 th March we have celebrated ' International Women' s
day'.Today is the day to remember Savitri Bai Phule , as first educated women, first women
teacher. Savitribai Phule was born on 3 rd January at Naigon. She got married with Mahatma
Jyotiba Phule at the age of 9. Jyotia Phule was 12 years old at that time. In 19 th century women
were deprived of education. Many customs were prevailing such as child marriage, sati, cutting
of hair after husband' s death. Savitri Bai Phule along with Jyotiba Phule fought against this
custom with society.she took care of needy people. Jyotiba Phule first taught her since parents
of girl children were not sending daughters in the school where male teachers were there. She
was the first teacher. Jyotiba Phule & Savitribai Phule started first school at ' Bhidewada' in
Pune. Savitribai Phule had to face lot of hardship from society .People used to throw cow dung
on her when she was going for work, inspite of hardship she continued her work. Because of
the efforts of Savitri Bai, girls are started getting education.Now women have created place in
every field. Savitribai Phule died on 10 th March. I request all women to have gratitude of her in
their mind.Hats off to Savitribai Phule and her work.

Women' s Day - Today is an important day for women. Today is an international women day.
Wishing you all 'Happy Women' s day. Women are intergral part of society. Women have many
inborn qualities. Women can take care and show love & affection so God has given
responsibility of giving birth to child to women only. Earlier girls were deprived from
education .Birth of girl child is not welcomed, girls were considered burden since lofty dowries
would have to be given at the time of her marriage. If girl child is born the parents of husband
would used to held their daughter-in law responsible but this is also wrong act since sex of
child depends on male factor. But people were not aware. Girls were given education of
household chores. Parents used to get them married at early age with person 20-30 years older
than them. Jyotiba Phule felt need of girl education so he started school in Pune for girls. But
parents of girl children were not sending their daughters since male teachers were their in
school so he taught his wife Savitribai Phule. Savitribai Bai Phule was first woman teacher. Thus
girls started getting education. Education gives strength & confidence to women. Now in 21 st
century women have touched all spheres .After education girls started working .Earlier in 1960'
s working of women considered inferior . Even my maternal grandmother was working as
teacher, she completed her education after marriage due to my grandfather's support , I heard
from my mother that she also had to face criticism of their neighbours. But my grandmother
worked as teacher inspite of criticism. Earlier girl used to marry with person older than her age
than he used to die early after marriage then her condition used to be worst. She used to be
victim of sati. Society used to force to cut her hair.But due to reforms done by Maharshi Karve ,
our society started accepting widow remarriage. Now women of 21 st century works in 2 front
that is office & home. Women only educates her children. It is said ' Mother is first teacher'.All
responsibilities of child such as taking child to Dr, attending parents meeting is done by women
only but definitely now she is getting support of her family. Now women have become

financially indepent. But even today when I read in newspaper about rape cases, killing of girls
foetus before it is born I feel ashamed of our society. How male can do such wicked act? Why
does not he think what it would have happened with his sister or mother.It is to be changed. I
request male members to respect their wife, mother, daughter or sister. Share theirduties,
celebrate women' s day everyday.

Satisfaction - Satisfaction means inner feeling of happiness. Definition of satisfaction is different
for different persons. I get satisfaction by purchasing books in book exhibition, reading them,
teaching to the students, From last one month I am getting satisfaction when I express myself by
way of writing.
My mother gets satisfaction when she buys new dress or new sarees for herself or for me.
Some people get satisfaction by work of the office , they follow principle ' Work is workship'.
Singer gets satisfaction when he or she sings, dancer gets satisfaction in dancing. Satisfaction
means exploring your interest. I feel everybody should try to find out interst and experience
satisfaction, I am sure there life will be full of happiness & energetic.

Necessity v/s Novelty - Food, clothing & shelter are basic needs of human being, but other than
that whatever comes according to me is Novelty. Due to invention of technology many new
things came into existence and human life became comfortable but at the same time human
beings started depending on that and it became their necessity rather than novelty. Earlier in
summer people were using fan but after invention of Airconditioner people started buying
Airconditoner and became so used of using it so that became their necessity. Earlier generation
people used to walk long distance over foot. I will share one experience , my son' s Soham' s
school is just 10 minutes distance and he enjoys to go to school by walking, one day my friend
came to my house her son also studies in Soham' s school and asked me how does Soham go
walking? Does not he get tired? She has availed bus facility whose house is also near from
school. I gave her answer I do not feel the necessity of availing bus facility. Children should
have habit of walking. We should bifurcate between Necessity and Luxury.Last week I attended
engagement of my relatives, so much expenditure had been incurred, First time I saw that on
engagement day, cake was cut. Thought came into mind ,Was it needed to spend so much
money on Engagement? In today's newspaper also I read huge expenditure had been incurred
by politician on wedding in Aurangabad, I really felt sorry for poor people of our country. I feel
that we should think properly and act wisely.

Communication - Communication means exchange of information. Human being is different
from other animals because of their ability of speaking. Human being can express their thoughts
through spoken or written way.We all must have read in History that human beings also in
initial days communicated through gestures but due to advancement language developed and
people started communicating. Through communication we can express our all emotions. There
are various communication devices like Telephone, Radio, Television, Mobile, E mail, Whats
up, Internet, Through communication it is said that world have come closer. But at the same
time communication between family members have reduced .People staying under same roof
do not communicate with each other openly. Communication develops bond or relationship.
Communication should be two ways to keep it flowing, otherwise after some days it would
stop. I am sincerly thankful to my kaka, After formation of this group I started expressing my
thoughts and I am feeling more confident now. Inspite of repeated reminder by admin to all
members , I have observed that some members are reluctant to give their introduction . I
sincerely request them to come out of shell and express yourself by sharing photos or
information then only this group will become more livid. You can express yourself whenever
you get time, But keep sharing.

Today is 27 th February. Today is an important day as today is Marathi Rajbhasha din. Wishing
you all 'Happy Rajbhasha Din'. Marathi is our mother tongue. We should not forget our mother
tongue. But now due to influence of western culture people have started forgetting mother
tongue. One of our relatives from my husband' s side stays in America for last 40 years. They
both husband & wife speak Marathi. But they have never spoken Marathi with their children as
a result their children do not know Marathi language. Children feel different when they come to
India as they do not know what is going on since Marathi is unknown language for them. In
one of the book of Achyut Godbole he is written ' No language is inferior or Superior'.
Language is means of communication. We stay in Maharashtra where main language is
Marathi. But since many people from outside Maharashtra come to Maharashtra and start
considering Marathi inferior. There are many good writers in Marathi. I am not against learning
new languages. But at the same time it is advisable not to forget our Marathi language. I will
share one experience 4 years back I came to Pune for my sister's wedding, Over there I met one
man whose son was my son' s age . His wife was also there with him. After initial talk I asked
about the school in which are they taking admission. His wife said I want to take admission in
English medium but my husband is not ready he is saying I will take admission in Marathi
medium only. As per his wife saying I started him telling the importance of English language ,
Condition of Marathi school but he was firm on decision the answer given by him surprised me
. He said he himself had learnt from Marathi medium and is now working in Saraswat bank as
translator and he knows 18 languages. I am not saying to take admission in Marathi school for
your child but my saying is teach Marathi along with English and consider your Marathi also
language of learning.

Science Day - Wishing you all 'National Science Day'. The science has touched every field. It
may be invention of electricity, Telephone, Mobile, medicine. Hats off to scientist because of
their invention we can live comfortable life. We can contact any person at any part of the world.
Earlier we have to stand in a queue for bank transaction,booking of ticket now due to facility of
on line transaction we can do it at home.Farmers are also using modern technology instead of
trational method of farming. But every positive side has negative side also.Many are using these
invention for destructive purpose like atom bomb. InSmart phones sometimes boy clicks the
photograph of girl and use it for blackmailing girl. My suggestion is to use science for
constructive purpose and do remember the scientist for their great efforts.

Excitement of New thing- Today we brought new bicycle for Soham. He was so excited , whole
day he is talking about his new bicycle. Really anything new attracts us, it may be new bicycle,
new book, new car, new house. After someday it becomes routine. In school days I used to get
excited about new school books. The smell which new books have still lingers my mind. The
same is the case of new job. When we get job after completing degree we all are excited. Really
new things make our life exciting and brings change in our routine.

Examinations- Examinations season will start soon. On Sunday scholarship exam, From
Monday Board exam of 12 th followed by board exam of 10 th and then school exams. I rquest
the parents whose children are appearing for exam to convey All the best on my behalf.
Examinations are means of checking knowledge gained in particular academic year. But marks
gained in examination is not ultimate source of knowledge. I have observed my many friends
who used to get less marks in school days have obtained professional degree. Children become
unnecessarily stressed during examination that affect their exam performance.Even I was one of
them, I still remember for one of my exam my maternal aunty Medha mami came to our house,
she observed that I am stressed for exam she said that Snehal you are not mature now but do
not worry about exam, give your 100 percent for preparation and appear for exam, you will get
good marks. She further said our life is also full of exam. Now I felt her saying was true really in
our life we give daily examination in which syllabus is not known.

Use of Technology(Mobile & Internet) by older generation of Vaidya Family- Yesterday I was
going through list of members on Vaidya Family Katta of Facebook and Whatsup. I really felt
happy to see names of the older generation in that.They are my own relatives in one way of
other.They are my aunties, uncles & my Baba. I am sure mobile & internet must not be their
when they were at their young age.They must have learnt it from members of their younger
generation.I felt if there is will there is a way.I further request all of them to be active on group
and not mere to be only member of group.They can share their experiences.
