About graduation in USA - About Bachelor’s degree course in USA
Bachelor'sdegreesinthe UnitedStatesare typicallydesignedtobe completedin four years of full-time
study, although some programs (such as engineering or architecture) usually take five, and some
universitiesandcollegesallowambitiousstudentsusuallywiththe help of summer school, taking many
classes each semester, and/or who have existing credit from high school Advanced Placement course
exams, etc to complete them in as little as three years. Some U.S. colleges and universities have a
separate academic track known as an "honors" or "scholars" program, generally offered to the top
percentile of students (based on GPA), that offers more challenging courses or more individually
directed seminars or research projects in lieu of the standard core curriculum. Those students are
awarded the same bachelor's degree as students completing the standard curriculum.
Parents may need to consider if student is mature enough to deal with education overseas
immediately after higher secondary school at the age 17-18 years. The points like homesickness or
inculcation of likely bad habits to be thought about. Qualities of education and career opportunities
are better during graduation education at overseas. Education at early age allows an exposure to
overseas environment. When student go with lot of ambitions and dreams, he or she would stay
away from the bad habits except if unfortunately negatively influenced. Job opportunities are said to
be better for bachelors compared to masters. Students get continuous & longer exposure to the
educational systems & research followed by job opportunities.

 Wise I am today, introspect your self
 Be contended but remain ambitious too!
 Deeds and decisions decide the destiny!
 Success means how many lives you have impacted positively!
 Weightage the event, decide its importance and how long you would remember any event
 Finally you have to make your journey alone, leaving everything on planet earth! 

Mahatma Gandhi had setsimple principles, Asapart of society we all to observe seven deadly sins and
avoid those, understand those deeply and follow
 Wealth without work.
 Pleasure without conscience.
 Knowledge without character.
 Commerce without morality.
 Science without humanity.
 Religion without sacrifice.
 Politics without principle.
Look at the livesof celebrities;theycame,entertained or did the great job, earned money and became
oldor died!What next?Whatdo youhave it finally?Live alife withpride &dignity.There should not be
an answerto a questionif someoneasks what you would like to have differently if you get a chance of
one more birth! Live a life; no other life can be better.
1.2.3 Appraisal – Cloudof thoughts
I firmlybelieveeachindividual is the best appraiser of self! Stand in front of mirror, be honest and ask
questions, have a dialogue on strengths, weaknesses, improvement plan, etc! You will get the true
answers. I generally do not defend the inputs received during appraisal. I know my strengths, and
curiousto knowobservedweaknesses. Most of the weaknesses are circumstantial and for the specific
reasons.Soit isexpectedyoutobe the best during all the situations! The expectation itself is weird, if
you are a human! If the foundation is weird, how would be the results correct? Not sure! I make final
judgment, what I should be careful, and what I need to improve!
Secondly who are appraising you? There are many theories! One of those is 360 degree appraisal. So
boss, subordinates and colleagues from other function will appraise you and give feedback. What if
anyone of those is a poor performer? Does one if poor performer has a right to appraise other? Still
inputs are taken on face value! This is too absurd! There need to be weightage to the views of each
individual,equaltothe rating of the individual from zero to one. And wondering if poor performers to
be havingany sayin entire system?Theyhave thenitisagainabsurd. (I always say, fire the interviewer
too if you are firing an employee on the ground of performance, since selection itself was wrong
evaluation and decision)
Appraisal inputs are based on instinct, judgment! Those are not real number like doctor measures
temperature of the body using thermometer. So critical career decisions are based on judgments, and
that too of others? Is n’t it absurd and unrealistic?
Each organisation follows mechanism of appraisal, and varies a lot including period of appraisal.
Sometimes its six monthly, few do it on yearly basis. I am wondering why someone has to wait for so
longto share the inputsina real time dynamic world. Can it not be instantaneously? Do share it as and
when it happens! It will save huge efforts, energy and save everyone from being defocused.
One of the methods observed, adopted mostly from GE and further improved is as follow
Individual is judged from 6 E – Energy, Energise, Edge, Execution, Ethics, and Etiquettes! Each of the
parameterfurtherdividedinto3-4attributesfurther.FollowingEthicsisnotstampedonthe foreheadof
any person on the earth! I cannot guarantee for myself, how can you judge other person on such a
sensitiveandcritical parameter?Laterratings thus collected are normalized comparing the employees
ina particulargroup.There are lot of discussions, argument and obviously counter arguments! Ratings
varies from C, B-, B, B+ and A or 1 to 5! Those able to get the best rating for the subordinate who can
articulate their say, have convincing ability and dominating by nature! So merit of supervisor in a way
decidesthe appraisal of the subordinates.Itsfunny!Alsopotential v/s performance is captured. Why is
someone not performing? Its more to do with the environment, offered opportunities, leadership of

34
supervisor, culture of the organisation, HR policies, etc which are all related not to the self! Then why
punishthis guy finding the gaps of performance and potential. What if someone has potential of non-
ethical and performing ethical, interesting? Really funny!
Fewfollowdifferent methods. One I have observed has really impressed me. Employees are grouped
based on their designations and preferred to be from the same division or project or account. For
variousparametersthose are compared,whoisbetterthanother,notbetteror equal toeach other.It is
supposedtobe usinginstinctandsupposedtobe fed online. Thus attempt is to evolve the hero within
group. The best has to emerge.
One has to rate on capabilities, not on actual performance. If performance is poor, just one of the
attributesgetsimpactedi.e.attitude.Mostlythe entireintelligentthought process of designers has not
reachedto the individual.Thisisveryinterestinganddebatable,inclinedtowardshuge disagreement. If
someone ismosttalented,howeverpoorinexecution,andthushasnotcontributeda damn,whatis the
use? There is a need toprovision of capturing ability to execute!
Organisation ask for feedback, and its anonymous. Can the feedback to be considered on face value if
the guy does not have courage to say or put up the views declaring the name? Its ridiculous. I have
encouraged employees to speak, discuss, share the points openly. Courage is an important attribute.
Also appraisals have been observed to be a ground for squaring the personal issue or non-supportive
approach or non-cooperation of the past! Should it be encouraging such feedback?
Organisationduringappraisal periodseemstobe standstill,howevereveryone is busy! Isn’t something
drastically going wrong? Is that the reason, many have abolished the appraisals. Should appraisal be
abolished? Few could not since those were unable to devise alternative convincing mechanism. And
what is needed is really simple innovative quicker way, is there any?
Needof appraisal system:Tobe scalable,Tobe practicable,not to be wrongly influenced by supervisor
or colleagues, to be judged by merit alone like initiative, contribution, delivery, innovative ideas,
relationship, etc
1. Further thinking…what could be an innovative way to compensate employees for their
contribution? What is the best way? In India we have devaluation of currency every year;
inflation is higher single digit, so it has to be catered in salary hike as appropriate. In
government,manufacturingandotherconventional industry,it was adjusted allowing inflation
allowance. Would software industry follow the same path? Following are few options…
2. Capitalism–Reward the highest to the best of the performer! It’s an acknowledgement of the
achievement and contribution. Salary is one of the ways; other ways are position, power,
recognition, respect, etc.
3. Keepingminimumclasses,Just3categoriesof increments?6,8 and 10% to B, A and A+ guys and
pink slips to C! How to bucket employees in these 3? No alternative but appraise those!
4. Communism – Fix the upper bar for the top salary; Offer jobs to more employees! It is not
motivatingforthe talentedandcontributingemployee!How many real talented guys within an
organisation, who are indispensable?
5. Socialism–Equal hike forall,hasfaileddue tonon-motivating and non-differentiating aspects!
Will lead to complacency in the system. I guess this might work considering the huge supply.
6. Make it Dynamic, everyday – Each individual to mark a day, Red, Ambar and Green; how was a
day spent!Enterthe notes,just 1-2 statements for a day, Your mood, based on experience of a
day, how good and bad you did, how good and bad the opportunity existed on a day, and you
delivered, was that a happy point you discussed with colleague during a cup of tea or bad or
patheticpoint,etc;consolidate data of a year! (Or supervisor entering how was a performance
of a day of subordinate.Hashe delivered what was supposed to be? ) Supervisor to guide how
to mark RAG. Itis saidfailurestobe rewarded,soneverdiscloseevenmarkingRedcouldgetyou
the reward! Seems practically difficult, and needs guts to accept such theory and practice!

35
7. Let marketdecidesthe salary.Letemployee discloseandattendthe interviews,whoseveroffers
the highest to the role, will be matched to role and salary. If role does not exist, allowed to
resignandletgo grabbingthe opportunity.Those who are happy will not attend the interview.
This will bring an advantage of growth in a role as well. Issues could be, would everyone keep
attendingthe interviewsto check their market value? Yes. Would employee be mature to sum
the total of (tangible salaryandintangible benefits)?..probablyyes!Intangiblebenefitslike work
life balance, opportunities, alignment to the merits, no discriminations, good people around,
unique & simple policies, non-political environment, respect, recognition, etc. to be
appropriately considered. Also education and spreading awareness needed if this method is
adopted. Seems again practically difficult, and needs guts to accept such theory and practice!
Theory is simple, let market forces decide! This is happening to some extent.
8. Employment : Every year millions of resources are graduating and getting ready. Most of the
seniors having experience great than 14 years are equivalent and surely not worth of their
salary. Can we (all industry leaders) put the upper cap for salary of seniors and that too at
survival level, say 20 lacs max. Money thus saved should be budgeted for freshers to be
employed. Opportunities to many instead of restricting to the heavy mass.
In short there is no simple, quicker, accurate, rational and most important scalable appraisal
mechanism.Nomethodsaddressthe differentiatinggoodandcontributingemployees correctly! So just
live with some mechanism till some innovative master brain comes up with something widely
acceptable idea and others follow. We have a challenge to address the issues.
Going forward, Innovative and efficient way will be implemented – Remove fat layer and have a flat
structure! Will bring social unrest however fittest will survive! Be competitive and cost effective! It
would be at the cost of social restlessness, however capitalists work ruthlessly, and just for profits!
There is one more thought keep bothering me. For top positions salary is like 12- 20 million $, etc.
Wondering what these guys must be doing with so much money? Have heard about owners being
philanthropist however not heard any salaried employee to be so!
1.2.4 Leadership
1.2.4.1 Leadership- Narayan Murthy-graduate school of business
Leadership – Extract from Leadership Talk program by Narayan Murthy at Graduate school of business
The Infosys CEO N. R. Narayan Murthy stresses leaders must change mind-set of employees to enable
change. View from the Top: dated May 4, 2006
Little bit about Infosys
Formed in 1991, we knew demand for software would explode and there will be an opportunity for a
company specialised in customised software development from a country like India
It was clearthose nationhavingcertaincompetitiveadvantage wouldbe able tooffervalue inthe era of
globalisation
Company has been recognized for its leadership, in innovation, its employee’s orientation, corporate
governance,
Globalisation - Sourcing resources/ capital where it is the cheapest, sourcing talent from where it the
best available, producing it where it is cost effective and selling where markets are most profitable
without being constraints by the national boundaries.
Adding value to the globalisation is possible for those having competitive advantages
 24 hours productivity, combining prime time of customers & our development center, and
compressing cycle time
 Global delivery model -
o presence at customer side like high interactions with our customers, requirement
design, installation, implementation, long term warrenty, etc

36
o programming,design, documentation, etc, talent rich process driven scalable and cost
competitive development
 best value for money,
 providing quality software on time within budgeted cost
 View from the top is a shape how people view the leaders from the bottom
 Leaderssuccessisdefinedbyhow well he or she can synthesis the birds eye view of the world
with the worms eye view of the world
 Success to me is taking a great ideas and converting those to actions through excellence
 Primary job of a leader is about bringing about a change or transformation, and is a big ticket
process
 Transformation comes from the change of mindset of the people
 2 instruments of the progress - mind and mindset
 To me mind is an analytical engine that uses the data to take appropriate decisions
 Mindset is a distinct conclusion that we have gathered from our experience over the years
 Mind is what determinesouraspirations, our confidence, and our possibilities and in short our
behavior
 Leaders to change mindsets of the people to become positive, to become confident,
enthusiastic, daring, and open minded to accept the change, achieve great dream.
 Leaderdoesitby risingthe aspirations,inmyopinionaspirationsare mainfuel for the progress,
 Aspirationshelp people to overcome tremendous odds by working hard, smart and by making
personal sacrifices, and putting the interest of the corporations ahead of ones own.
 Aspirations have helped people to embraces add-age a possible impossibility is better than
convincing possibility
 Wheneveryoupropose something dramatic, you are not short of people come to you and say,
don't you know with our context is not possible here
Therefore leaders have to overcome negative pessimism and make sure that they give a try. Most
people think context is a constraint but leaders see them as opportunity .Bernard Shaw said and was
adoptedbyJohnKennedy"Some lookatthingsthatare,and ask why.I dreamof things that never were
and ask why not?"
Any progress I believe requires smartness, a lots of hard work, and off course sacrifice
 To get the people to make the sacrifices, leaders need to be credible
 Creditability is build by examples
 People watch the leaders and imitate him
 Every attribute of the organisation is exemplified by its leader
 Therefore everythingwe dowhetheritscustomerfocusorcost control or excellence,Leaders at
infosys demonstrate their commitment to the cause,
 Be the change in you what you want to see in the world
 So leader uses his value system to instills trust in other people
I am convinced that primary source of an organisation is its people
1.2.4.2 Leadershipby N R N Murthy – Lecture at Infosys
Leadership – Extract from Leadership Talk program by Narayan Murthy – mentoring at Infy
Sharing the best practices at Infosys
To learn and understand each of them better
How do we encourage entrepreneurship in large corporations? How do we create entrepreneurs?
It isabout creatingwealthfromnewideas using grey equity and sweat equity. It is about bringing new
possibilities, new paradigm, new products and new markets.

37
"Some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not?"
It beginswithadreamto make a difference tothe worldwithagreat idea. A great idea is generally one
which can be expressed in a simple sentence, not a complex sentence, not a compound sentence. Its
power comes from the great ability to enthuse a great team, its ability to transform the market place,
and add value tothe customerina unique manner.Thisuniqueideashouldbe atleastable to do one of
the followings
1. Reduce cost
2. Improve productivity
3. Reduce cycle time
4. Enhance customer base or
5. Enhance customer comfort
Most of the ideaachieve one orinsome casesmore thanone incrementally. Once a while there comes
an idea which achieve these objectives in a significant way by creating what we say discontinuity in a
market place. Cars, planes, computers, and off course the internet are good examples of ideas that
createddiscontinuity.Entrepreneurshipisaboutateamwork. It requiresateamthat has a passion,and
brains that is mutually explosive but collective exhaustive, expertise and experienced. All successful
ventures talk it out about such teams.
Passionisa mainfuel enhancingconfidence, energy, and enthusiasm of a team. Off course instrument
for sustainingandenhancingthe passionof the teamisvalue system. Value systemis a protocol for the
conduct observed by every member of a team. It is also like radar of a ship, helps a team to overcome
the moments of despair, dilemma and moral confusion.
What are the attributes of entrepreneur?
Firstof all theirdreams,theirhighaspirations,believe inadd-ageinpossible impossibilities better than
convincingpossibility,nexttheyare very passionate, they live & breath their ideas, they have sense of
ownershipineverythingtheydo. They sacrifice a great deal in achieving their success in their venture.
They have sense of urgency in everything they do. They respect value addition and they do not care
about titles, corners offices, and other perks. They get too much attached to their ideas. They do not
know when to give up their idea and this could eventually hurt the organisation. They have host big
egos.
Following steps we can take to boost the entrepreneurship in big organisations
1. Leadershipisextremelyimportantrequirementtofosterthe spirit of entrepreneurship in large
orgnaisationbecause leadersraise aspirations,becauseentrepreneurshipisall aboutaspirations
and bigdreams.Itsall about confidence of the people,itsall aboutchallengesinthe mindof the
people.
2. Showme an entrepreneurandinnovationalorganisation,andIwill show youastrong,confident
aspirational leader behind it. General Electrical and Microsoft are two good examples of this.
3. Most large organisations strive for creativity because senior people in these organisations are
not confident and they are scared of smarter people hence they will not allow these smarter
younger people to do an extraordinary stuff.
4. We have to create an environment of openness, morality, meritocracy and fairness, debate &
discussions. Such an environment will build daring, dreaming, hope, confidence, passion and
enthusiasm among people and generate great ideas. This excuse biases, and become
transactional,date orientedindulgingevery issue. Thus we have to start every transaction on a
zerobase withoutcarryingbiasesfrompriortransactions.We have to enrichthe youth,because
youthisabout the energy, mingleness, creativity, enthusiasm, and confidence. It is also about
the future.Unlesswe create anenvironment,whichaffordsouryouthtodream, we are unlikely
to succeed entrepreneurship.

38
5. I am sure all strategic decisions are taken by a group which has a high representation of the
people under thirty. We have to be fair and generous giving credit of success to these young
people who truly deserve it, otherwise we will not be able to make them do extra-ordinary
things.
6. We have to retain the soul f the small organisation while maintaining the body of the large
organisation, Do so we have to create small groups, clearly define the vision for these groups,
ensure that everybody sees benefits in that vision and we have to communicate widely that
visionacrosseverymemberof thatteam.We have to empowerthese small groups so that they
can take decisionsthemselves.Infactthe reasonswhymost large organisationstend to be slow
because main decisions are taken by those who are the stake holders in the outcome of those
decisions.Off course we have to create positive spiral of words and say for the achievements.
We have to ensure that everybody – imagination, and execution. We have to create objective
matrix for measuring the progress of ideas, and their execution.
7. We have to create very good compensation scheme to reward people based on their
performance andprogress.We have to establishmentorship council including senior members
of the organisation.Mentoringshouldbe voluntarilyand of private relationship.Thiswillensure
frank and open discussions. It is important for mentor to mentee when to give up an idea. Its
very very important responsibility of the mentor. Generally idea that has succeed becomes a
enemyof newidea,andpreventsnew idea from succeeding. It is the responsibility of mentors
and leaders, that this does not happen.
8. If we can create these attributes and attitude in the body of large company, I believe we can
fosterentrepreneurshipinlarge organisations.AndI have no doubt that thet is a need of a day.
1.2.4.3 Leadership – Extract from Leadership Talk program by Rajdeep Sardesai with Narayan Murthy
and Prakash Padukone broadcast on IBN18 network Dated – Jul 2013
What does leadership mean to you?
It is all about transformation of change, a big ticket change, paradigm change!
3 points for true leadership
1. Courage –
a. To take tough decisions
b. To go against majority if needed
c. To do unconventional stuff
d. To make youth sacrifice
2. Character
a. Will stand by you in hour of tough decisions
b. To do right things
c. To say I will give away this opportunity since I believe in my values
3. Generous
a. People would need him/her during crisis
b. Is able to form a team that will give a life for a mission
c. Its about we & us and not I and me
Leaders do take calculated risks, so be courageous and take decisions
He came across a set of extra ordinary talent and wanted to take advantage. Hence decided to try out
entrepreneurshipandstartedInfosys.Othersfactorslike availabilityof super computers, unbundling of
hardware fromsoftware,availabilityof industrial strengthsand availability of talent were also favored.
Leaders to be ready to deal with adversity
Observe, analyse and Come up plan of your own after analysis
To have moral integrity is critical. You can build 1000 crore company taking short cuts but not 100,000
crore which will sustain for 100-200 years. You need to build institutions by core values.

39
Important responsibility of the leaders is to create people better than him or her. The best way of
importing lessons & values and ideas is lead by examples. Mahatma Gandhi was a finest leader.
How do we pass these values to next generation?
We can transferthese bywayof institutionalizationof aspirations,values and competencies. To ensure
this Infosys decided to create sufficient leaders, we started leadership program.
 Our company is our campus
 Our business is our curriculum
 Our leaders are our teachers
1. Campusisa place where exchange of ideashappen,discussions and debate happen, finally the
best idea comes on the table.
2. Unless a person fully understands in-out of our business, he/she won’t be able to become a
leader.
3. We felt the best way we can teach our future leaders is to bring people who have ability,
competency,people whohave demonstratedtheirworthintough situation, in an environment
that all the courses will be taught by our own leaders.
Modesty & humanity
Surely middle class background helps
Having strong father & mother saying don’t let it go in your head, you got 95% marks but what
happened to that 5%?
Got to be ambitious but got to be routed to ground!
Live your dreams but stay grounded
Unlessyouhave humanitythenyoudonot lie.If youare humble,then you recognize people are better
than you, and therefore there is an opportunity to improve, and become better & better. So true
humanity can be demonstrated when you are seen being at the top!

1.2.4.5 Extract of conversationof Sam Pitroda and Nandita Das
dated 15th
Dec 2013
1. Questions on following topics were covered
2. 1. Election
3. 2. Nirbhaya
4. 3. Supreme Court-377!- Its a human right issue more than sexuality issue, its hard to pull-off
whatindividual wants.Letpeople decide whattheywanttolive.Itshardto police private life of
people.
5. Reservation - In a family if someone is less capable, or underprivileged, it is responsibility of
family to take care of that person. We need to consider reservations from the bigger family. If
youare well-off,youneedtogive.If youare toocenteredon yourself,thenyoutendtosaylook,
I am loosingsomething. In fact you are supposed to be saying, its my job to give. Also sense of
sacrifice is a part of responsibility of majority. Self should be more in giving
6. Democracy and human rights are fundamental issues, foundation of our society.
7. Needtounderstandprivilegeswe have,righttomove,rightto speak…we take these granted. It
is a responsibility. Democracy brings lot of responsibilities. Discuss more on democracy,
privilegeswe have,discussin schools, local groups and various forums. It will add great deal to
their understanding.
8. People are notfeelinggoodaboutthemselves,sotheyalwaysfindfaults with others. That's the
reason people do not feel good about others.
9. More conversationseenasHowrightI am I, how wrong you are! TV debate in India, everybody
ismad at everybody.Mediaispromotingviews - for and against, in black and white? Tolerance
to opinion of other people is getting less and less.
10. Caste and politics - politiciansmaydooversince itistheircurrency.A bookwrittenby Anil Bhat.
11. We needsoul searching;lesson learnt from Mahatma Gandhi is that Self is very important. We
need to build a strong self.
12. Prakash Desai - Everybody is very concerned and sensitive about 4 key words- man-apman-
abhiman-sanman (swa-man). Learn to deal with these then you create a better world. You do
not worrysomeone insultingyou.Because our system is hierarchical and feudal, so people are
sensitive,like people are insulting me, not giving me respect, etc. If you are stronger self, you
never worry about these things.
13. In Indiaeveryone, at all level people are worried, why you said-what you said-when you said-
how much you said...etc as a result you do not have good conversation.
14. How am I going to change? Have confidence on self.

41
15. We almosthadnothingandas a nation,we have come a longway. We should be proud of what
we have done. We built institutions, colleges, universities, we built democracy, etc
16. We have losta lot..ourlife usedtobe verysimple life,values were very Gandhian, we had little
needs,notverypossessive.Societyhasgone materialistic,followingwestern idea of happiness,
to acquire more.
17. Get engage thingshappeningaroundyou,tomake a big many people do not take smaller steps
18. Thoughts-brain storming-actions
19. We can make the difference.
20. There is a reason for a change, and Change will happen
21. Can we be part of the process?
22. We need lot of soul searching and community involvement. Actions can come from an
individual. Why someone should act, you act? Everyone expects govt to solve the problems
23. Problem is not outside, its inside, ultimately self and community are two important areas in
democracy.We are not lookingat these and passing the buck at Government, bureaucracy, etc
24. Other area we should focus on is community involvement, do not expect somebody or
government to solve your problem
25. If we can have our young people realise that most important thing for them in life is to built
strongself,comfortable self,build a self respect human rights, self building democracy, self of
giving, self that does not get shaken up eazily, self that respect other views
26. If you are worried about your garbage, go and clean your garbage, clean your toilet, do not
complaint. these are imp lessons we need to learn, practice and act
27. Real strength of India is in its democracy, its diversity and we need to build on it. Do not walk
away and say we need dictatorial attitude, and we need strong person, etc. Strength has to
come from within and not from outside.
28. Each book, person, movie..each one influences us. Its time for self introspection
29. What kindof value education?information based? Which education teaches to be sensitive to
be good human being?
30. Opportunity is an open choice, you need to work at it. You need to search for it. It does not
come to your door, u need to search for it. People say harder you work, luckier you get
31. Lot of people look at somebody’s success and would say oh! he is lucky, not true and also
successisnot aboutmoney.itis unfortunate thatpeople equate successwithsomebody who is
rich.There are so manyrich people whoare sounhappyintheirownlife,fightingwithrelatives,
fightingwithfamily,theyare ondrug,off course it isgoodto have economic freedom. it is good
to have enoughmoneytolive comfortablybutonce yougetmoney, it is not going to guarantee
happiness
32. People have right to elect, is not concept overrated?
33. People have to make their choices, some are capable, and some are not capable
34. Proper- not proper, fair - not fair, right – wrong, we get what we deserve
35. One needstoworkat local level,neednot have to look at Delhi. Thought has to come from the
bottomlevel. Connectwithpeople; get involved with local schools, people, local library, local
discussions.We needstrongself- we needstrongcommunity.We need conviction and passion

1.2.6 Tips-To Be Professional
It is a great learning experience to compile the tips to be professional truly, here it goes!
Each organisationhas valuessetupto guide theiremployees. Itisnice to know which the values set up
by your client. One of the examples is as below:
1. Be positive :Don’tthinksomeone isblaming you, think that he/she pointing where you can be
corrected wherever you are wrong!
2. Be the solution : Easiest thing is to bring the problems or concerns! Think what is a solution to
address the problem. It does not take lot of thinking to solve the problem. Always propose a
solution if you are sharing a problem.
3. Be accountable : Be accountable what you commit, what you promise to anyone, your friend,
relative,familymember, client. Have a goal in life. Set the goal to achieve commitment, break
intothe steps,andexecute the stepsmovingtowardsthe goal.Itisa great satisfactionseeing to
achieve this movement and goal. Achieving goal is as responsive. Goal in the life to keep
learning, keep improving and doing better and better. It is beneficial to many stake holders,
team, project, organisation, client, and impotently to yourself to improve your personality.
Learn new things, new technologies, expand the personality.
A good example is of Bike riding. A rider to know the goal, a destination, how is he going to
achieve it,bywhenandat what speed.There canbe an accident, to be mitigated but cannot be
repeated.
4. Be passionate :If youhave a passion,that’sthe career!Youwill love todothe thingswhere your
passion belongs!
Have 2 way communications; share the thoughts or problems or ideas or suggestions, rely on each
other! Be fearless. Its always a team, not individual who either succeed or fail. Everyone is doing
important job in a team. Keep doing better and better. Problem becomes our problem and no more
your problem. When you function as a team, you are not alone. In the world of competition doing a
good job is not enough! You would find ample opportunities to improve. Have self-awareness and
improve measure howare youimprovingstepbystep.Be accountable to improve yourself. Ownership
isdoingthe thingswhennoone is watching!Be an owner.Accountabilitymeansdoingthe best;nothing
lesser than the best!
Learn to acceptthe challenge,consideritasan opportunity. Drive it. Passion will come from within, no
one else candrive it.Nothingcanreplace HARDWORKwhile it is first time. When it gets repeated, do it
smartly! And not to forget, actions matter! That’s individual responsibilities. One can only encourage
passion, drive & actions have to come within! Ask yourself, are you the best! Not only say but do it by
actions.
Always consider every client is ONLY client you have. Treat all clients equally. Our attitude is to be
focusedtowardthe clients.Be focusedanddistractionsshouldbe fade away.Successwithsmall clientis
equally important.
Relentless : a drive to make client successful..competitor is eating your lunch.
Be fearless and be confident. If there is a logic to what you are doing, there is no reason to be fearful.
Establish the trust
Have honest and direct communication
Be hungry for continued success
Gold standard : Set your goal high, and plan systematically achievement of Gold standard; get at your
goal in shortest time possible

47
a. You do what you say, you say what you do
b. Continuous quest and hunger to improve the performance
c. Quality of the products
d. Ownership – Your job is just starting when you launch, it’s a long way to go
e. What people remember? 10 Success or 1 failure?
f. Need to be vigilant
g. Smooth sailing
h. Try to beat yourself, set higher standard than what you achieved
i. Handle first the complex tasks
j. Flexibility to take the newer tasks
Worklife balance isveryimportant.If youworkefficiently,youcanbalance yourlife.If you mix the work
and life, you are likely to mess up both. Be workaholic during the time, so as to enjoy hard during
balance of the time.Work will never end, so plan the work. Be professional. No need to get distracted
nowand then by emails, whatsup, mobile calls, etc. Work life balance goes out of balance because of
non-professionalism!Establishagoodbehavioratprofessional andpersonal life; you will not have dual
facesat both the places. Small change and improvement in behavior has a big impact in the life. Try to
make small decisions to improve the behavior, and observe. Repeat the same at other place. You will
see that your personality is improving and getting consistent too!

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living
someone else's life. Don't let the noise of other's
opinions drown out your own inner voice. And
most important have the courage to follow your
heart and intuition. They somehow already know
what you truly want to become.—Steve Jobs
Be more concerned with your character than your
reputation, because your character is what you
really are, while your reputation is merely what
others think you are. ― John Wooden

life. Be focused. Be a driver.
The most interestingpeople I’ve evermethave the

In life, one can’t have everything. Satisfaction is
the key to happiness. It can help us sail through
life’s challenges without distress. Instead of
materialisticthings, we should work towards self-

Our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in rising every time we fall.....
Lessons from Mukesh Ambani~
1. Nothing big is ever achieved without courage
2. Feel empathy. By caring we grow higher as human beings
3. Have faith in technology and talent. It leads to unbeatable creativity and innovation
4. Heart to heart relations and loyalty are invaluable
In a theatre when drama plays, you opt for front seats. When film is screened, you opt for rear seats.
Your positioninlife isonlyrelative.Notabsolute.Formakingsoap, oil is required. But to clean oil, soap
is required. This is the irony of life. Only two categories of people are happy in life: The Mad and The
Child.Be Mad..toachieve a goal. Be a Child to enjoy what you achieved. Enjoy the life..!! Neither you
can hug yourself nor you can cry on your own shoulder. Life is all about living for one another, so live
withthose wholove youthe most.Relationscannotbe understoodbythe Language of Money.Because,
Some Investments Never Give Profit but They make us rich...!
Championsaren’tmade inthe gyms.Championsare made fromsomethingtheyhave deepinside them:
a desire,adream,a vision.Theyhave tohave stamina,theyhave tobe faster,theyhave tohave the skill
and the will. And the will must be stronger than the skill.
You won’t find true balance unless you install checks on your time, energy, and other resources.
Forcefully say 'no' more often to the things that drain you. Refuse to suffocate under the weight of
unrealistic expectations. If anyone complains, give them one of your chores to do.
When angry, ask this: What do I fear? Or How am I hurt? You just might get anger under control.
1.2.8 Cybage Software…AUnique pleasantexperience ofSoftware Organisation
I have served small, medium, and large IT organizations and clients from Japan and APCC regions,
Europe, and the USA. I have been fortunate to always work closely with the top management of my
employers. It offered me an opportunity to observe and analyze their thought processes,
communication style and actions. This valuable learning came by way of framing the patterns of
successful people and then grooming own personality inculcating appropriate attributes.
It has been a year in Cybage. When time flies, you know you’re enjoying what you’re doing. If work is
not fun,it’sa challenge to pass even a day. I feel that Cybage is unique; it is different from not only its
peerIT organizations,butalsomostITcompaniesinIndia.I have come to this conclusion after studying
the work environment,observing and interacting with the heads of various verticals, CXOs, peers, and
colleagues. I always wonder how this is possible. Which factors make Cybage unique? It’s a case to
study. This could be a big list; however following are some points that I would like to share:
1. Open-door policy in its true sense.
2. Amazing simplicity, politeness, and supportiveness across.
3. Deep conviction, flexibility, and tremendous clarity of thought among the top executives.
4. Notsettingthe targetsfor Sales,presalesteamsincludingvertical heads..not forthe sake,but to
eliminatethe root cause of the politics, blame games, fights, etc among the colleagues. That’s
the reason one makes close friends within the peers. Setting targets & follow up right-left-
center are the easiest tasks for any top management, right?
5. Fun, not fear! Brining Life to work is a punch line!
6. Understanding our capabilities before committing to a road map for the future.
7. Process-driven approach using logic & technology; fair investments to manage internally.

63
8. Unique wayof the appraisalsconductedhere actuallybuildshealthy competition among peers.
9. A vision that builds a consistent work culture from an office boy or a security guard to the CEO
10. Precautions are taken to ensure that business growth does not come at the cost of disparity.

1.3.1 A worrisome and confusingsituation
1.3.1.1 Economical gap
Costs are going high, opportunities are not visible, unemployment going high, 60 million graduates
available everyyear,all are notcapable of higher education; all would not afford the higher education,
whatis the future?There isfurtherincrease inthe costof livingif the jobopportunity is not available in
the same town of residency. A big question of survival!!
Gap between rich and poor getting higher and higher, there is a huge discrimination.
Environment getting impacted while a car being used just for a person and for every person of the
family;there are somanyconstructiondiminishingthe farming&forestforgreed of wanting more than
1 house; etc. All these leading to more destroy the environment. There is no highly efficient public
transportation.
Basic needslike educationandmedical are notaffordabletopoor;with the limited salary its difficult to
manage familyof self includingparents;sosocial structure gettingdisturbed; social responsibilities are
not being valued when the question of survival arise! There is all time high consumption of alcohol.
There is a competition of spending more during marriages.
Shouldthere be upper cap for the salary? How the talent would be motivated? Would self-motivation
be good enough and way ahead? Should we go for more employment (with minimum wages) than
higher salary option? Shall we encourage local job opportunities and decentralize?
On one side there are huge expensesontourism, hoteling, luxury cars, etc while on other side running
house withminimumneedsisgettingmore challenging! Onetime expense by rich person like a cost of
drinkcan manage a monthlyexpenseof a poor, remember a scene from famous movie Namak-Haram!
Automation in mechanical industry killed millions of jobs; machines have eliminated so many jobs
bringinghighefficiency. Same is happening in growing sectors like IT bringing the stagnation or loss of
jobs. People are hopeful, something will come; but what is that something?
What isa solution?Whichismore successful? Capitalism? Socialism? Communism? No answer to a big
question!It’s a worrisome and confusing situation. Life span of individual around 70 years is too small
compared to life of globe, so no one worries for the future. Is that correct?
1.3.1.2.Are we tolerant society

1.3.1.3 Social situationabout marriage
Social situationisgettingdeteriorateddaybyday,particularlyrelated to marriages. Here is a capture of
situation and solution. Please read following presentations, conduct training in your city and spread
awareness.

own situation and position

practices, like vegetarian & non-alcohol, non-tobacco, etc
7. Disengagements(breakingengagement) before marriage,considered to be better than divorce
8. Increase in rate of divorce, also being supported by parents and each individual being
independent
9. Lesser society pressure to couple & lesser patience for adjusting to the situation leading to
increased % of diverse
10. Highereducationof a groomhowevernothavingresidence is not considered since cost of flat/
accommodation is so high, getting settles is a huge challenge
11. Parent does not want their in-law to struggle throughout the life thus money, bank balance &
assets becoming increasingly important
12. Checking bad habits like smoking, drinking alcohol or eating non-vegetarian food is almost
impossible, referee/ people do not share the facts.
13. Expectations of dowry even in educated class is extremely high
14. Brides managing to look for life partner on their own without taking parents into confidence,
entering into inter-caste affairs and love marriage, etc
15. Higher educated bride candidate not ready to be house-wife and oriented towards making
career. This leads to un-peaceful environment and collapsing structure of family values
Thus need extra ordinary maturity to enjoy social life & live happily.

1.3.1.4 People-attributes
The people andattributes…dated29th
Jun2017
I am amazed to see people around and their various attributes. During various events, they display
varieties of attribute. It;s phenomenon to observe people, event, its analysis and attribute(s) getting
displayed. Display might not be a correct word, since most of the times except its cautious attempt,
attributesare exposed. We had on 12th
march 2012, world’s population was 7 billion marks. How many
varietieswouldexist?Ihave reada bookcompilingattributesbasedonthe date of birth.It was basedon
statistical theory and large sample size.
I wantto capture attributesof the people close tome.Iwasreadinga book“Mindset”, capturingmainly
2 categoriesof the mindsetsviz- growth oriented and fixed. That’s the simplicity. Let me also try to be
simple while attempting.
I know a guy who would claim to understand personality of other person even someone just spend 5
minutes with him, or walks 10 meters in front of him. I felt that was crazy claim!
Also how many types of emotions and attributes exist?
List of Feelings:
crazy, fantastic, funny, naughty, super, strong, chill
happy, loved, cool, awesome, full, lovely, optimistic, proud, blessed, positive, joyful, excited,
thankful,special,inlove,thoughtful,wonderful,inlove,thankful,cute,relaxed,fresh,fabulous, good,
perfect,amazing,motivated,hopeful, beautiful, peaceful, great, cold, entertained, pretty, relieved,
satisfied, amazed, grateful, energized, blissful, awake, aggravated, ecstatic, ready, accomplished,
nostalgic,refreshed,festive, confident, lucky, inspired, determined, surprised, entertained, pretty,
sad, angry, sarcastic, silly, hurt, disappointed, tired, hot, nervous, frustrated, stressed, shocked
missing,alone,heartbroken,emotional, confused, lonely, pained, bored, broken, sorry, lazy, drunk,

meh,disgusted,amused,concerned,hyper,exhausted,drained,sleepy,upset,sick, hungry, annoyed,
irritated, worried, impatient, lost
The bestpersonto observe isnone otherthanyourself!Ilikeda statement “ Till yesterday I was clever,
wanting to change others, today I am wiser, wanting to change myself”. It is said that if you are
contendedatthe stage of nirvana,change onyour mindwill notbe felt either of joy or worry. Chemical
& physical reactionwouldnotbe observed.Youare stateless!“I”will get removed from the statements
like I did this! Deeds and decisions decide the destiny, you deserve to be what you are!
# Event description Emotions and attributes Remark
1 Fearing post first
appraisal and before I
get to know Cybage
management well
There was a slight fear Having seen more unstable
conditions,andlearnttokeep
cool
2 Greediness while
investing
There was greediness, wanted to
double investment in short span!
Learning to have patience,
and have a long term view
3 Disliking Whenseniorsunable toeitherperform
their tasks or within stipulated time
frame, need multiple follow up
Guiding and mentoring
4 Pity 2 situations

the things in a particular way

professionals
1.Understanding the
constraints and taking
those in right spirit

71
5 Assertive/ affirmative I want to get the things executed in
particular way, I do guide/mentor and
conduct briefing session
It hurts when professionals do not
follow guidelines/ instructions

and seniors irrespective of
agreement / disagreement

supervisors
I believe that supervisors are better
than me, in style, communication,
knowledge, etc so I follow them
without questioning
7 Supersonic speed of
execution
There is a clarity of the steps involved
in executing any activity, and execute
the things with supersonic speed.
This ability has an issue. My
expectationsremainthe same
from sub-ordinates. If any
activity does not happen
timely, I follow up rigorously
and then tend to do myself.
8 Understanding people I try to understand people, and then
decide the acceptability. If the
concerns or caring demonstrated at
surface level or deep from heart, what
is the depth of knowledge or
willingness to do
No intentional methods
followed to be popular

members did not know
8. Ownership&responsibility – It was a result of forceful act by husband. Would society learn to listen
“No” from women; No means No!
9. Should take initiative to stop - Should we or should we not? At transaction level or at Government
level?
We will post a story, few will comment and advice! Life and cycle continues as it is...!
1.3.1.7 A Blog : Its Human being..our experiences with those!
1. A mother of two, widow…husband died of heart attack related to assets division between
brothers!Whatis more important..life orproperty?Personshouldhave strongbelief..not more
than destiny,notbefore the time.How muchpersonneedstolive?One shouldhave enough for
survival and education for children. After all story ends equally for king and beggar! Isn’t it?
2. A mother of two…widow..none of the sons wants to support her during old age! She does not
have property in her name. Careless of husband to make appropriate will, or leave sufficient
liquiditysoasto lether survive independently. Or believing that children will take care turned
out to be wrong!
3. Aunty attends the marriage…keep talking to everyone why did she never want to attend this
marriage? Kept spreading bad words about invitee host! Funny and pity!
4. Sister..understandsthe importance of education!Bankingona sonwho gotadmissioninfamous
engineering college, worried about children of brother, keep guiding for better of their lives.
Howeverhasa doubtif her advice is taking in correct spirit? She is deeply concerned and keep
guiding. She believes that a single person if gets well set, can change the life of remaining
members in a family. She gathered huge knowledge about educational systems, admission
process, etc, truly needed for each parent.

75
5. A person keeps guiding…however takes a credit if good things result! Someone was saying
better if his advice was not taken, feeling of obligation is huge!
6. Communication is the key, very few understand. It is not very costly! In fact it is cheapest in
Indiacomparedto globe.Keepsharing,keepasking,andkeepadvising!There isnothingto lose!
You may be gained! People do not support if there is ONLY a need based communication.
Relationshipbuildingiscritical insociety.Helpotherssootherwouldhelp.Thatwasthe purpose
of building society. That’s why society exists!
7. A charitable trust..wants to arrange a get-together of students who benefitted from their
scholarship!Whatisthe objective?Trustee saysaimshouldnotbe of advertisement or seeking
credits of doing good job. Its unique style. Then what to achieve? Would past students who
were benefitedoutof scholarshipattendlistening the trustee? There is an investment of time,
energy,moneyto attend such function. Most of the time it is criminal waste of the fuel due to
travellinginvolved.There issucha huge contentavailable onlineof the world famous speakers.
Case study of the successful guys would surely motivate but how many students and
professionalsdoread,watchthe relatedcontentavailable online?Suchfunctionsare merely for
the branding and publicity. And mostly attendee to reciprocate the obligation of the invitees.
8. LTA…income tax exemption having funny rules. One can claim once in 2 years, can only claim
travel cost and not lodging and boarding! In fact travel should not be encouraged considering
importelement.Itshardly a sum if someone travels from Kanyakumari to Kashmir (or Mumbai
to Kolkata) bybus,plane or special taxi comparedtoLTA amount of 2 years.Expense of Travel of
foreigntoursisnot exemptedandcanunderstand. Wonder if finance ministry has time to thnk
out of box and innovatively?
9. Corporate stay at 5 star hotel…expenses are sky touching. Is this expense must? What is the
objective organisation wants to achieve? Happy employees? Teaming? Finding leaders?
Concludingimpressionoutof various sessions? Does it impact or influence? Short term or long
term? Would there be other mean at lesser expenses to achieve the same objectives? Would
giftingsome article to employee achieve the objective partially? Isn’t the involvement higher
covering all the employees? Wouldn’t such cost saved if added to the salary bring more
happiness?Againsuchstayiswithoutfamilysoalmosteveryone missing family or realizes that
its yet time to catch up the affordability.
10. Kite with string in driver’s hand..does it sound like corporate hierarchy? Or a family pair of
husband-wife orparent-child?Youallow kitetoflyto touch the sky however wants to control it
from the ground, keeping the string / direction in your hand. Is it all about power, skill and
entity?Youare happyto see somethingcontrolledbyyoutouchingthe sky.That’snice. You also
wantto cut otherswhoare flying/growingbetterthanyou…thatis really bad! Overall take it as
a skilled game, and not too serious!
11. Do little and show big! It’s a corporate scenario. Its all about taking credit or building an image
overothers.Itssayinghowgood I am (comparedtoother),withoutrealizingsupervisor must be
talentedtounderstanditdeeplywithout talking about it! Few supervisors feel pity, few watch
the fun and few scold the actors and stop! Its all being human!
12. There are many functions and events happening around city. Average crowd is about 2000
people. This has a travelling expense of at least Rs 100 per person. It makes Rs 200,000 per
eventpercity.There are 40 cities.Fuel isanimporteditem and main contributor to import cost
indollartermfor India.Canwe save few dollarsif notprint?How manyattendeeswill watchthe
program if videoisrecordedanduploadedon YouTube? Or broadcast using media like TV? Can
technology save travelling time and cost?
13. Computer devices and software..are these maturing? Before those are matured, new devices
are giveninuser’shand. That’s funny! Its wondering to see thousands employees work for big

76
brand manufacturers,andsimple defects&bugs are not fixed years long like a decade for both
hardware and software. What these guys must be doing? I wonder.

1.4 Health related–
1.4.1 Experience withdisease
I was confused, unable to make out what was happening? I thought it is a stomach ache. At left side,
around 2 inch stripe, from center of stomach to back bone. I consulted family doctor. He expressed
surprise of increase in weight and stomach size, gave a speech on to control the weight and mostly
talked the points which I knew. He suggested getting abdomen sonography done. I had done

81
sonography to check prostate gland 2 months before, till he insisted. I did the same, it was normal.
Thanks god! He gave few vitamin related capsules. I paid his fee.
I was not convinced. I called a doctor friend who is more than 25 years in medicine practice. I am on
insulin.Sothere isapossibilitywhile injecting insulin, I might have damaged some nerve and could be
nerve damage. He suggested medicine to strengthen the nerves. Ok..I bought the medicine.
Still it was not convincing. I called a doctor who is relative also. I have strong trust on his diagnosis. He
saidthe probabilityof Herpes zoster however rejected himself thinking following reasons. 1. I already
had itso repetition is rare 2. There was no fever & head ache. He diagnosed for stomach infection and
suggested pain killer, antibiotic and basic medicine to cure stomach infection. Meanwhile there were
few reddish stripes on stomach and was reported.
There is a young surgeon doctor, a niece. I shared a photograph of stomach, now stripes can be
capturedwell.She suggestedIshouldimmediately rush to skin specialist. It was a festival day. Most of
the doctors enjoyingtheirliveswentforrefreshingtoursbeinglongweekend. Then only will be able to
take care of theirpatients.Mystudyongoogle checkingwhatitcouldbe wason. Oh!It mightbe herpes.
On Sunday I took a chance. I called a doctor who is father of my son’s friend. I briefed him mentioning
the possibility of Herpes. He has been courteous like all other doctors I consulted. In spite of being
Sunday, he asked me to visit his dispensary at 5:0 pm. Very rare cases. My wife paid fee, was nominal
and as a token. She insisted to give above standard, he refused.
I visited him, He diagnosed as Herpes zoster. A week of standard medication started. Situation
improved. Its contagious. So I declared within family and relative locally to be away. We took all care
everydayto maintainhygienic conditions. Few suggested home remedies. I am not believer of those.
Those are good as a secondary, not the prime treatment. Few thoughts those are better than doctors
and specialists. 
Thingsworked. Its all improving now. I again consulted him. He examined and asked to stop medicine
further.Secondtime he didnotcharge consulting fee. I consulted my relative doctor. He said a routine
practice what he follows. Antibiotic and infection related medicine continued for another week. I am
almost curing.
Lesson and conclusions
1. Catch up experts
2. Meet doctor in person
3. There are chances and probabilities so try to conclude
1.4.2 An experience ofdiagnosisadisease dated 28th Oct 2018
My wife had not been well since more than one month. The trouble started with throat infection. We
are new to city and looking for post graduate doctor. Using google and our memory having seen some
dispensary,we reached at clinic of MBBS doctor. Doctor examined and gave some antibiotic and other
medicine with advice to gargle using warm water and salt.
After 2-3 days there was a fever. Our regular visit to doctor continued. Doctor asked for blood report.
PathologylabdetectedDengue.We hadsome doubts however thought of continuing the treatment as
advised by doctor. He admitted for few hours, gave some medicine/injection in saline.
Our neighborsuggestedanotherclose byhospitalbeing run by Doctor, M.D. (medicine). We thought of
changinga doctor. Againafter2-3- daysthere wasa new symptom, having rashes on front side of neck.
Doctor advised the blood test. This time blood test was normal, no dengue. It seems to be for one of
two reasons, either a reaction or due to viral. So we continued treatment. There used to be
improvement post medicine. After few hours there will be again some or other symptom and issue.
Meanwhile Istartedconsultingmy friend who is doctor M.D. medicine and my brother-in-law who is a
doctor.
After 2-3 days there was a fever. Again I consulted all doctors and change of the medicine. New
treatment continued. One day there was a body and joint pain. Visit to doctor, testing blood and

82
medicine were continued. This time it was suggested to admit. We were happily ready looking at no
diagnosis was being concluded, and admission offers observation with doctors. After 2-3 days of
admission, doctor appeared confused, about the diagnosis. Was it due to viral or allergy? However he
gave injection of Avil in saline, and we were observing improvement. He had stopped antibiotic to
conclude if this is due to antibiotic or viral.
We were discharged on Sunday. It was not complete recovery. A week passed. We enjoyed holiday
including ice-cream and candy at evening on Saturday, morning walk on Sunday and movie. She again
got rashes on body in theatre and throat pain, knee pain with slight fever. We rushed to the hospital.
Doctor examinedandsuggested,gargle using warm water & salt, ointment for knee pain, and referred
to repeat blood test and to skin specialist also. It was observed he raised his hands (experience and
brain).We wentto skin-specialist,she concludedthatit was an allergy and not viral. She gave few tests
to confirm allergy, and potential of blood to react. We did the tests.
Meanwhile there wasatremendousbody pain and body movement was almost stopped. Then I called
my x-colleague whose fatheristhe oldestdoctorinGandhinagar.We went to meet him. He studied the
file and understood it very well. He referred to ENT and said that ENT is very good, and suggested to
informhimeverything.We wenttoENT specialist.She wasunable towalk.ENTspecialistoperates from
groundfloor(vastu?).She took15 minutestostep-down.Doctorexamined nicely, confirmed not many
issues with throat, and gave medicine including antibiotics. Overnight she was recovered of body
stiffnessandpainwithslightimprovementof feverandthroatpaintoo. She continued medicine. Blood
testwas a frequentroutine. Doctor suggested for re-visit after 5 days. We went again. He gave second
round of medicine. Those seem to be working. After 10 days he gave a final round of medicine and
suggestedtomeetphysician.We askedarecommendation.We wenttonewerdoctor while discussion,
updates were continued with friend, relative. Meanwhile I also consulted my niece; a DNB doctor is
doing her super specialty. Her husband is post graduate doctor in medicine. They both discussed and
conveyed the conclusion. There was a doubt of connective tissue disorder.
Newphysicianaskedvariousteststoconclude,including chikangunya,B12,VitaminD,connective tissue
disorder,etc.Entire tests were of 10 K. All reports were normal, however she started feeling better. It
was onlyHB deficiencyandlatelytreatmentwasconcluded. Iron tablet dose was increased, other than
home-remedies to increase iron.
Doctor said,no name forsuch virus,whenaskedwhat exactly did happen! That’s the medical science!!

1.5.3 Observations about monks and social leaders
You mustbe one of the observersinsocietyaboutvariousactivitiesexecutedbythe monks. You may be
one of the directexecutivesorparticipantsof suchactivities.Justcheckif youare one of those andthink
what is right and wrong? Suggest you to take a stand on the point which you feel strongly correct and
stop if you feel what is happening is wrong.
Background -
1. Monks are supposed to be
1. Deeplystudying the principles of religion and sharing with the followers. The both the cases
are seen rarely. Also followers do not demand such guidance, putting the questions.
2. Involved in deep worship of god at various time slots like early morning & evening. Most of
those are not seen doing so.
3. Following path & guidelines laid by the God
What do theydo?
2. Instead of above most of the monks
1. Deal with money collection in the form of donation, offer the money thus collected to earn
interest. Is this correct?
2. Grab or seek donations of the properties and deal with various transactions.
3. Collect huge donations and encourage purchasing land. They pretend to utilize such land as a
“Samadhi sthan” however main intention is to settle at that place & use it as head quarter.
4. Gather theirfavorable followersand transact money, land & other assets matters through them.
5. Are instrumental inbuildingtemples,trusts,schoolsandhospital ascommercial &businesscenter
6. Have become powercentersof theirkingdom, buildingimage,demandingrespect,preferringonly
rich people to be around.
7. Politicising the groups and creating new creeds
Aboutfollowers
3. Why individual social person gets around such monk? Simply because it offers those people
platform to lead a group of people, to be front runner, to get a publicity here & there.
4. Once such leadersare knownwithinsociety,ithelps for their businesses & groom their personal
relationships.
Solutions
5. What is to be done?
Responsibilityof people
a. People cancontrol the activitiesof the monksandinturn monks can advice routine behavior of the
people like dos and don’ts.
b. People need to maintain the boundary and observe the strict following & implementation of the
practical guidelines & principles by the monks. It is time to redefine the principles.
c. People shoulddefine the boundarylimitsforthe monks.When we saymonk should follow practical
guidelines& latest compatible with time & technology, limits are not defined. Few guidelines are
extreme andterrible ineachof the religions. E.g. not to use mike & speaker even while addressing
the rallyof 10,000 pluspeople (say during Diksha), and on other hand contrary life is just lived like
another social person or even more luxurious e.g. few are using camera & media for publicity,
almost living like social people like washing clothes, ironing, ordering special food, shaving using
latestinstruments,usingair-conditioners,mobile,laptop,internet,mediator for political problems,
mediatorforthe marriages,etc,etc.These are extreme implementations.(Whatisthe difference as
a monk and social person?)
d. It ishightime to nationalize the assetsbuildandoperatedbylocal trusts and monks. There is a gold
worthof fourlacs crore injustone of the temples. Is it in safe custody? It is high time reserve bank

86
of Indiashouldgetall suchmovable assetsto their safe custody. Is it safe if some national calamity
arises in the area? What has happened at Kedarnath & other Chhatisgard state?
e. People to encourage monks to limit their activities related to religion only. People should take
leadership position for social activities.
f. Direct Expense of Chaturmas or other religious functions generally ranges from 40 lacs to 2 cr,
indirect expense would be much more like people visit travelling from long distance places, etc.
Leaders collect & spent huge money arranging various events like appreciation of upawas tap
(fasting) like tela (3 days), aadhai (8 days), etc! Is this correct? We experienced that in 13500 Rs,
school kit for a year fr 150 poor children can be managed. Which kind of expense would you
promote?
g. Similarexpensesare done byvarioussocial trustsfor elections, meetings, moving around, media &
publicity, etc. Would not it be better to spend such funds for education, scholarships, supporting
poor people or widow, etc?
6. Many intellect & common people stay away from these happening.
1. Onlyreason is they cannot voice their views in public. It’s a challenging task to tune and rebuild
religion.Sotheywatchhelplessly, why? Suggest putting your views across and get debated. Use
social websitesandshare.Use 1:1 forumwithmonksor commonpublicplatform.It’s a high time.
Bring a change, whatever small it might be.
2. Also do not be a part of such groups, political and/or social forums while working on religious
activities.Encourage those tobe handledbysociety withoutinvolvementof the monks,letmonks
do their duties.
3. Please stop spending unnecessary & unwanted. Expense must have utilization value.
4. Please collect the donations only if funds are used for hospital, education, schools and hostels.
5. Please donotget used by the monks. It allows you to be leader among the masses, monks need
someone and you if after name & fame, need the monks. Break this chain with courage.
6. Do not accept following stupid arguments & do not encourage monks pursuing following
i. There is a life in electricity, cell, cell-phone, remote control, watch, TV, Radio, etc
ii. Not to eat green vegetables or keep those limited. (Green vegetables are must for good
health, having iron and source of hemoglobin, etc)
iii. Drink water after cleaning pots using ash & such water is healthy for life.
iv. Filtering water just using cloth makes it pure. (It has to be done using appropriate filter)
v. Not to eat vegetables on particular day like Second day (Bij), Fifth day (Pacham) or 8th
day
(aatham), 11th
day or 14th
& 15th
day (why???, does sin if at all eating vegetable on
particular day more? or does volume of bacteria more on particular day? )
vi. Lovingspouse orsexual intercourse isa sin. Semen has millions lives & intercourse means
killing those many lives!(It is natural and nature’s most beautiful gift. In fact pure
relationship to be encouraged). It has potential life but not a life unless there is union of
male & female sperm.
vii. Encouraging kids & children lesser than 18 for Diksha, becoming monks.
viii. Gathering at particular place/city for common prayer! It is waste of time, energy, efforts,
fuel consumption and cost! The same can be done by each individual at their own city.
ix. Fasting in group of thousands might be ok but celebrating it as a huge festival & spending
huge amount of money, gathering of the guys & their family members, etc. This is just to
project the leadership of monk and a social worker.
7. Monks to guide on following 20 types of sins & help people to improve personal behavior
1. Non-violence
2. Not to cheat & tell lie
3. Not to theft
11.Not to hatred
12.Not to quarrel
13.Not to slur

87
4. Not to adultery
5. Not to be possessive
6. Not to be angry
7. Not to be egoistic, but to be polite
8. Not to be hypocrite
9. Not to be greedy
10.Not to be deeply attached
14.Not to backbite
15.Not to blame someone
16.Not to contradict unnecessary
17.Not to manipulate
18.Not to believe in unlike faith
19.Not to drink alcohol, Not to smoke
20.Not to eat non-vegetarian food
8. I have a serious question if Jain monks are responsible for breaking families? How?...they keep
advisingextremesof religiouspointsandwomengeteazilyinfluenced&offerblindacceptance to
their preaching (e.g. do not eat onion, do not take bath everyday, etc) Male generally smartly
analyse and decide what to accept and what not. And at that point seed of differences within
families is ploughed within family!
1.5.4 Savatsari-lecture
Blog by Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance on eve of Savatsari, festival of Jains
Dated – 22nd
August 2012
In Jainismseekingforgivenessisthe ideal processinhumankind.If youhave hurtsomeone knowinglyor
unknowinglybywayof wrongful deeds,actions,decisions,badwrittenorspokenwordsorthoughts,itis
expected to seek forgiveness and start a clean slate without holding grudges.
Jainism believes that there are 8.4 millions kinds of living creatures. Seeking forgiveness is not just
among human kind but also entire living creature of 8.4 million types.
All majorreligioustraditionscarrybasicallythe same messagethatislove,compassion and forgiveness.
The importantthing is they should be part of our daily lives. Also this should not just become a part of
routine.One shouldsincerelytrynotto hurt anyone again.Alsoforgiveness is a character of braveness.
Do not hold the grudges. Life is too short to love!
Violence is not just killing animals, but also hurting someone by way of actions or words! That is the
reasonLord Mahavir & Jainismhave promotedprincipleof non-violence.MahatmaGandhi hasfollowed
rigorously the same while struggling for independent movement of India.
One shouldnotbe angry, or shoutat other.It hurts tothe personwhoisangry or shouting equally. Also
what is guarantee that person in question would not repeat the similar mistake again? And the point
which can be convinced or taught by way of communication, why to hit & be angry?
One person “A” spitted on other person “B”. Other guy naturally got angry & took the revolver to kill.
Immediately wife of person “B” took the handkerchief & cleaned and said, the point which can be
correctedusinghandkerchief,whytotake outrevolverand shoot? Off-course you can imagine chain of
nuisance to be faced if person “B” fires at “A” and “A” dies! There are many simple means to correct
your mistakes!
Moral of story is keep cool, think twice before taking action in anger. It would surely hurt you more!
A husband & wife gift a diary to each other on the day of marriage. They decide to write mistakes of
spouse for a year. After year when they exchange the diary to understand what individual made
mistake, they found blank pages. Not surprised, they discussed. They both have maintained diary for
themselves to introspect & make a note of their own mistakes but not of spouse. That is maturity,
understanding & respect! It is important to stand in front of mirror & honestly introspect.
Acknowledgement is the first step towards improvement!
1.5.5 Thought sharedby monk-25 Dec
Pilot has to assure three points while flying airplane
Clean sky, Straightness (no disturbance), and Broadness of the sky!

88
Similarly human being should maintain these three points while living – clean mind, straightfordness
(simplicity) andbroadheart!Howcan mind/soul remains clean during the time of struggle of survival?
There is a dust of nervousness around! How do one rise in the life? One has to learn ignoring small
things and learn to forget & forgive!
Childrenwhile playing using stones do fight over ownership of those however they throw the stones ,
forget about ownership issue and their fight once mom calls them for lunch! They think simpler way
than grown up guys. What we learn is
 Not to hold the grudges!
 Do not spoil anyone’s life
 Do not shout / disturb anyone!
 Do not get disturbed by anyone!
You might have body of age 55 but let your mind remain in childhood (simple, honest & non-
manipulative)
Phase of Life islike mango,whensmall it remains bitter, when it grows further becomes sour and later
becomessweet.Atleasttrytobe like mango.You mightbe bitter& sourduring your early age however
during old age, try to be sweet!
Wheneversomeone gets angry, maturity level reduces at that point and one tends to do non-sensible
things. Do not decide or act when you are angry! Try to change our mentality. Give up ego else fire
keeps on spreading!

Behavior Wonderful technique for articulating communication in difficult situation - BFIR -
Behavior - Feeling - Impact - Request
Speak about behavior which you did not like, convey feeling and impact, and then
request for correction going forward! Suspect your own judgement always,
recheck..assumption you made might be wrong!
#Irritation - u call a guy,its engagedoru getno reply,a guydidnot call u back again...
Highly irritating particularly if u worked with Japanese people..:( ..When would
Indians learn good habits, disciplined life style, common behavior ways? People
blame to us & advise to learn meditation to have better patience!

She lived life with dignity, complete sacrifice, and huge respect among all family
members, stood like a rock support to all!
Unconditional true love and caring!

If I can not help others; at least I should not harm them
All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love,
compassionandforgiveness. The important thing is they should be part of our daily
lives.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot
survive
We take Few Seconds to hurt someone but sometimes we take years to say SORRY.
I take this oppurtunity to say sorry to everyone whom I have hurt knowingly or
unknowingly MICHHAMI DUKADAMTO ALL
We are ordinaryhumanbeings.We make several mistakes & hurt many while living
day-todaylife,knowingly or unknowingly! On the auspicious day of Paryushan Parva
savatsari kindly forgive for the deeds or words which might hv hurt u or yr feelings.
Will try not to repeat the same mistakes.
Michhami Dukkaddam! - Rajendra Rakhecha
Are we follower of Jainism, or preaching of Mahavir? Particularly when opportunity
exists?Saywhendrivermakessillymistake,in society some member behaves crazy,
colleague or subordinate does not deliver, in theatre someone gets out of control
and create a nuisance..Whatdo you do or when family member is not aligned..how
do you react? Keep cool, understand other side, don't react quickly, do not bark,
don't express harshly, don't be angry! We kill mosquito as soon. It bites or around.
Have compassion, help people, suggest right way, guide correctly if requested, etc.
Justexcludingonion-garlicfromthe meal will notmake you Jain.Avoid arrogance and
ego, be humble and polite!
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot
survive
We take Few Seconds to hurt someone but sometimes we take years to say SORRY.
While requesting sincerely to forgive me for wrongful deeds, bad words, ugly
behavior which have hurt you; I promise to avoid those in coming year!
I am sorry! michami dukadam - khamatkhamana

Remembering Gandhi!
Gandhi by Arun Jain
My Diaryon Gandhi Jayanti - In all livingforms,science hasdiscoveredGenes - which
is encoding of repeating itself.
Question - is there something in all living forms - 'I am Different'.
My observationisthat'Iam different'isnotonlycharacteristicof Humans but also in
lowest form of living form - plants
1. Each plant has different shapes of leaves. This differentiation is not required for
producing food.
2. Fewplantsgrowsverticallyandothergrowshorizontally.Thisdifferentiation is not
required for survival.
3. Every flower produce a unique design of flower - from shape of sepals, petals or
arrangementof sepalsorpetals,evencolourpatternsare unique.Thisdifferentiation
is not required for reproduction.
4. The fruit produced by each plant is unique with different texture and taste. This
differentiation is not required for anything except 'nature of giving'.
All the above 4 elementsare not required for repetition or reproduction. Each plant
or tree neednotexpress so differently to reproduce themselves which is related to
Gene theory.
I want to know if anyone working on THEORY OF BEING DIFFERENT.
Great independent have 2 responsibilities, highest discipline& politeness!- M.K.
Gandhi, let us remember a great hero of the nation!

Leaders need:
“people skills” – versatility, pyramid learning, feedback

My Diary - Listening a starting point of Learning
Yesterday I attended a program conducted by Mckinsey for senior leadership
development. Learning was one of the most important trait was highlighted during
the session. I am enclosing a quote from great educationist and thinker about
learning here.
"Learning is an action or a movement always in the present, without conformity to
the past. Learningisnotlisteningwithone’sknowledge.If youlistenwithknowledge,
withwhatyou have learned,thenactuallyyouare notlistening; youare interpreting;
you are comparing, judging, evaluating, conforming to a certain pattern that has
beenestablished.The actof listeningisentirelydifferent;itiswhen you are listening
with complete attention in which there is no sense of conformity to a pattern, no
comparison, evaluation, or interpretation – you are listening”.
In social life leader is servant, in corporate life servant is a leader!
Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. —Warren Bennis
A great vision is:
• Simple in its statement.
• Concrete in its goals.
• Broad in its scope.
• Based on core values of the leader.
Leadership is About Achieving Results Which are Beyond the Ordinary!
If your actionsinspire otherstodreammore,learnmore,domore and become more,
you are a leader.- John Quincy Adams

Remembering Bapu…Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
Dear Respected Bapuji
I am remembering you on birthday anniversary and feeling missing you desperately. I too remember
intensely your follower, great human, extraordinary simple & honest person and leader Lal Bahadur
Shastriji.
WishI wouldhave come inthisworldbefore youwere assassinatedbypatrioticpeople howeverholding
extreme fascist views.
While studying your life, which is not simple and not possible either, I concluded that
a. You were extremely affirmative & fearless personality.
b. You had simple and sustainable living style
c. You promoted importance of health, both body and mind (purity of the soul)
d. You could create strong powerful and pure thoughts due to simple living style
e. You were havingnoassetsto lose,andsince beingextremelylogical andintelligentso you could
guide considering what is right without any selfish interest.
f. You were forwardlookingvisionary,withgreatclarityof usinghightechnologies however using
minimum resources
g. You believed and established that to enjoy power, money and huge assets are not must, but
what needed are people’s love & affection and commanding their respect.
h. You had great vision to challenge & shake the mind of masses creating turbulence by simple
events like challenging the British-imposed salt tax Dandi March and Quit India movement.
You promoted & advocated principles of non-violence established a model of fasting and civil non-
obedience and non-cooperation, bearing deep objective to free India from British Rule and to be
independent country.
You had tremendouscourage tolive usingjustone piececloth, have a terrible disciplined life and daily
itinerary, absolute punctuality like waking up early morning without missing a time come what may,
bath usingcoldwater,spinningyard,notusingmuchelectricity,following celibacy (bramhacharya), etc.
and did not miss even when you went to foreign countries for discussions and negotiations, without
feeling shy.
Your deepbeliefsof developmentof Indiastarting from villages, making those self sustainable, and of
equalities without any discrimination of caste, creed, religion, etc were very impressive.
It was a great behavior accepting the mistakes and not to repeat those. You ate non-vegetarian food,
drank alcohol and realised the mistake. You had maturity to realise & accept the mistake and guts to
apologise and determination not to repeat those.
You alsohad a global viewof boundarylessnationsand of one world! You had simple views of religion
and humanity.
Wished you were around and I would have discussed, understood you better
 Why youagreedforpartitionwhen you assured that it would be possible only after your body is
cut in parts?
 Why you wanted to give cash assets to neighbouring country?

110
 Was it painful when people enjoying power and not listening you?
 Have you spend sleepless night or were you cool during tough situations?
 Didyou thoughtof building character first and then seeking independence? Why you did not do
character building passionately and parallel?
 How to develop powerful mind, how to analyse right and wrong without confusion and to be
affirmative?
 From where didyougainthe strengthwhile insisting Manuben to sleep naked with you to check
and prove your celibacy? I also wonder to prove your fearless ability, why did you not sleep /
garland with King Cobra?
 And lastly what would you be doing seeing people with mix style & attributes around you in
todays world?
Wish I can follow 100th
portion of what you followed, part of your good and great behavior. Salute to
your hardship & determination!
1.7.2 Divide-secularism-castism
Divide and rule strategy by a national party
We are luckyto have born inIndia,itsa heavenonthe earth! God also praises Indian religious peaceful
culture insimilarway.Itsa place of Pure,sacrificingandcourageouspeople andfull of Knowledge,Skills,
Science, Art, commerce & Business, medicine, health and wealth.
India is a place on the earth where evils always lost by good & divine power. Determined & brave
soldiersprotect us and feel us proud! Highest & whitest Himalaya, pure rivers and dense forests bring
happiness to lives and we learnt to live together socially supporting each other.
India is known for its patience, accommodation, and compassion! Let us live peacefully. We will not
allow narrow minded so called leaders to take disadvantage and mislead the masses.
There are many differentiation or attributes : gender, caste, religion, region, education, privileged,
developed, well placed, have-have not, job-job less, economical...!
Selfish guys will divide you over each of the attributes!
It's easy to divide than uniting e.g. RSS working since more than 9 decades could not yet unit Hindu
however just someone puppet comes and divide the social life based on caste!
Root cause said to be economical development! Money has to be earned by each individual,
governmentoranyindividual cannotfeedorsupplymoneyregularlyexcept occasionally one time help
Those whowant to dogood keepdoingsocial workatgrass root withoutbeating drum, those who beat
intendneedtobe understood and it's to earn quick power. Recently Arvind like people got success on
steeper curve cannot guarantee long term. Nehru-Indiraji-Vajpayeeji-NaMo worked decades at grass
root to earn respect and popularity and then positioned to deliver.
People need to think, discuss, understand, and conclude on
1. What is the intent of the leader?
2. What is creditability of leader?
3. What is social-economical-religious- global understanding and stand?
4. Way / methodology of delivery of promises
5. What is the culture & upbringing of the leader?
Why fight for mandir (religion) mandal (caste), belgam (regional boundaries), languages, etc.
Fight for better education and better & economical health facilities! No one fights to have the best
schools and economical & the best hospitals!
Can governmentoffersfree andthe Besteducation,medicine &hospital expenses and enough pension
to survive for all unemployed and assure right to live! Wondering would we have fight & riots then?

111
Whichof above bringsroti,kapda aur makaan (bread,clothesandhouse)?Only and only Education and
career will bring income, and above.
Guys : educate yourself,askforthe bestof the primaryand secondaryeducationforyour children, fight
for the cause, that is only the way to match the standards and grow!
You cannot be employed by destroying employment!
You cannot be strong by weakening the strong!
You cannot be privileged by expressing anger towards privileged!
Think how can you compete others and grow? Who are supporting you, who are your friends? Only
peace and development will bring better days and liveness in life! Think, discuss, conclude and ask to
shut-up those dividing!
Be courageous! Be united! Please share so as to remain united and maintain peace for development.
Happy minds will bring development & peace.

1.7.3 Letter_to_NaMo
Dated – 26th
Jun 2016
To :Prime Minister
Government of India, New Delhi
Reg – Making lives of billion Indian a bit smoother and happy
Respected Sir
I do notbelongtoany political partyhowevervote withoutfail duringall the elections. I pay income tax
eventhoughitmakesmanaginglife abitdifficult&uncertainhoweverproud of the same.Ilove,respect
mostof the political gemslike MMS, ABV and many so as to you and have a sense of gratitude towards
theircontributionforthe growthof the nation. I am a regular listener of your program “man ki baat” to
get guided & mentored, to understand your message for the Indians.
It has been2 yearssince youbecame Prime Ministerwithclearmajority after struggle of six decades of
the party. Those yearswere full of passion,sacrifice,struggle and dedication. People have tremendous
hopes & expectations from you and entire team. They expect solution for every problem in their life
fromyou.That isdangerous!Itisas dangerousascentralizedpowerwithone person.There is a need to
decentralise both, power with a person and expectations that a person will change individual life!
You are wonderful person,keepingtrackof smallesttinythings.Youare amazinglyhard working. Are all
of your colleagues & bureaucrats the same? While you are working almost 2.5 shifts, it is necessary to
have atleasttwoteams(one in each shift) around you exchanging communication, briefing the details
with you, synchronizing together and making right decisions. This is to avoid reversal of the decisions
like occurrences in past.
How to address expectations of common people? What is needed? It is needed to make small and as
many corrections quickly. Mainly in the areas of pure water, food, clothes, shelter, education, health
check-up & medicines, electricity, intercity roads, water disposal & drainage, commutation, various
licenses, court matters & timely justice, corruption, etc. Its also needed to start listening to people,
address their concerns within stipulated time frame, bring the efficiency, while authorizing fix the

112
responsibilities,etc.Simplifyingandstandardizingisthe key.These have tobe acrossinstitutes,villages,
cities and states and across all the entities. To understand say, following are the examples
# Category Improvements/ Small changes
1 Identify
economic class
To offer5 categoriesof richness(poor,average,medium, rich and super-rich);
to use these categories for various aspects like subsidiaries, food, medicine,
travel, education & tuition fee, etc. Government to assure availability of
education and health services at free/ reasonable rates. This would be a big
giant step toward reducing corruption.
2 Technologies Use as much technologiesforlivingsafely, report corrupt practices, fields like
education & health, online requests for all artifacts & approval
To control or reduce rates of commercial technologyproduct and services like
internet,mobile calls,etcwhichare the enablersforbusiness growth; To offer
broadbandwidthin true sense, every ministry has to work toward revolution
3 Decentralisation To encourage top organisations to decentralize the manufacturing or work
places across various cities. This helps to reduce the expenses of the
employees while staying away from home. Also will help to reduce the
administrative burden on cities.

work in that direction aggressively
5 Ideas

via any media like email, letters, calls, websites, Facebook, tweeter, etc.

be the real action. Just replying and closing the case is not to be accepted.
Dashboard to update how many actions initiated.
To have efficient & full proof customer care center, where each request is
served till closure by the consumer
7 Health &
Medicine
Fix the fee of doctors as per categories mentioned in (1); can poor earning Rs
200 per day afford Rs 150 as doctor’s consultancy?
To make medicine available free or nominal charges as per categories
To open drug store offering cheaper equivalent medicine
To assure availability of doctors on weekends and at any time
To build at least one health check up facilities per ward
8 Commutation To make city commutation efficient so that majority of the people use the
facilities. This would save consumption of the petrol/diesel thus foreign
exchange is saved. This also saves travel time and tiring effect, enhances the
efficiency of individual.
9 Education To assure admission for each individual in the preferred schools of the living
area,to encourage eLearning,self learningwithoutgoingtothe schools,online
examination,simplifyingcertification of degree, open book examination, etc;
To discourage religion based schools
To have affordable fee structure as per the categories mentioned in (1)
To improve the quality of the teachers

standard, thus To
enhance employability imparting soft skills

professionals, etc
10 Food, clothes
and shelter
To supply as much food at cheaper rates, to make stringent quality checks; to
encourage healthy diet of lesser salt, sugar & oil
To offer cheaper clothes
To promote cheaper small houses at out skirts however well & efficiently
connected with city
To conserve water, to connect few rivers to conserve water going to oceans
To encourage drip irrigation, to encourage covering water canals to reduce
water wastage due to vaporization
11 Corruption Simple waytoreportcorrupt practicesusingtechnologieslike upload audio or
video or photo proof, double the man power, offices in each ward so as to
have eazy access
12 Court matters &
timely Justice
To expedite the disposal of the cases
Also to encourage working beyond stipulated time slots, owning the
responsibility of delivering the justice in time
To discourage interference in the government matters
13 Pollution &
global warming
To encourage vegetarian food to reduce global warming, to implement
innovative ideastocontrol the pollutionlikefree andefficient inter-city travel
& commutation which will reduce the consumption of petroleum products,
infrastructure development to avoid huge waiting at signals, distributes shift
working to equalize traffic, etc
14 Economics To assure stringent punishment in the cheating cases, to time bound enquiry
related to economical cheating cases, cycle of company formation, collecting
private / public funds, siphoning the money, and closing should be checked
To simplify operations of government agencies LIC, PF, PPF, etc online.
To offerIT exemptionforthe expensesonfee (overseasorwithin India) which
will encourage forhighereducation,Toapplyincome tax on the income saved
post income minus expense so boosting purchase economy
To treat tax payers as customers
We cannot be just & blind capitalist, have to control the service charges like
fee for primary schools, etc
15 Social, Police,
security,
employment,
traffic
To encourage social harmony and peace, To educate & discourage piracy, etc;
to ban on alcohol across country
To encourage police to handle the cases with humanity

To act stringent for domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape, etc
16 Electricity To check the leakage of the electricity, stringent punishment for the theft
To assure continued supply of electricity fixing the responsibility
Above are justfewexamples.Appeal yoursecretariesinall ministries to implement as many such small
improvements.We have brilliantpeople.Letthemparticipate, and Govt listens to those. There is lot to

114
do. Please take up these and implement. I am confident “Ache din aayenge”, those have to come if
intend is good, correct & wise. Let people also observe life is getting better with government taking
small actions.

1.7.5 Whom shall I vote during Parliamentary election2019? Dated 8th
Oct 2018
I was taught since childhood that voting is the fundamental right and one must exercise. As I grew I
alwaysrealizedthatchoosingrightcandidate isat-mostimportance.SoImake sure to vote,andvote for
the right candidate. There was a question also, should we vote for right candidate or right party? It’s a
wrong question. If party is correct, candidate has to be right, and vice a versa.
BJP hasbeena party withdifference,duringthe eraof L.K.Advani and Atalji. I do not think that status is
any more valid as on today. It is said that during corporation election there have been huge money
transactionsforpurchasingthe votes,andpromotion.Here onwardmoneywillplayveryvital role while
fightingelections.Itsnomore on ideology,character,value system & efficiency of the candidates. Also
BJP is accepting any corrupt or leaders with criminal background without any due-diligence.
There has beenabig voice,plannedpropagandaforNaMo and BJP during 2014. There have been havoc
aboutvirtual corruptionnumberslike 2-G,Coal,Vadra, etc. against Congress. (If those cases vere valid,
shouldanyone getpunished?).Ineverbelieved that it was a corruption and it was surely not. However
BJP couldsucceedtoimpressthe voterswithanti-incumbencyvoting.NaMocomes with creditability of
development of Gujrat. So majority people of India including myself believed and voted him to the
highestpositionof power,the prime ministerof India;choosingmaximumnumberof seatsforBJP. Hon.
Manmohan Singh said history would be kind to judge him. Its unfortunate, we did not judge him and
voted him out.
Since NaMo came to the power,there have beenfloodof manyschemesand policies declaration. Most
of the policies&schemesalreadyexistedhowever with new name. Credit for many events like visit to
Mars was taken by BJP Government while most was done by Congress. The change at ground level for
these schemes has not been observed.
Strong points:
1. No one ever doubt about intentions of NaMo
2. NaMo is determined and hard working
3. He isNon-corrupt,andwouldnot encourage corruption;there isnofinancial scaminhis tenure.
I do not consider Raffle deal as a scam.
Challenges:
1. His style and image is of autocratic
2. Not experienced at center
Positive pointsof NaMoGovernment
1. Reductionof Highlevel corruption
2. GST – It was well thought by Congress while NaMo had resisted it to implement in Gujrat.
Government implemented much in hurry. Its getting smoother now.
3. Surgical strike
4. Foreignpolicy,efficiency&servicesof external affairministry
5. Abolishing3Talaq ritesamongMuslimcommunity
6. Transparency – There has beenattempttobringtransparency
7. Inflationiswell managed&controlled

116
8. Fiscal deficitiseasingfrom4.8to 3.5 % of GDP
9. Long wayto go to improve eaze of doingbusiness,thoughwe movedfrom142 to 100 ranking
10. Acknowledgedconflictingministriesandstreamlinedthose like steel &mines,coal &power,etc
11. Punishmenttohangthe rapist,howeverneedtoextendirrespectiveof the age of the girl
12. Peaceful Exchange of landandpopulationwithBanglaDesh
13. StandwithPakistanandwithterroristsaboutKashmir;or migrantto Asaam& West Bangal
14. Couldavoidterroristattacks,bomb-blasts,tighteningsecurityexceptfew casesinKashmir
Blunders
1. Demonetization –
a. It burdened the nation.
b. Exceptthe namesof topdepositorsGovernmentdidnotget anything. Those include all
party leaders including BJP, Congress, NCP, etc; May be if 2019 NaMo again succeed to
form a government, this list shall be used.
c. Many businesses were shut down forever, small businessmen were wiped out;
2. Bullet train – Toe cost of project is huge, budget includes higher interest rates, and most
important is it was never the priority
3. Building the airports – We have sufficient airports now, and % travelers (beneficiaries) is too
small and not poor. Building few more airports can be of secondary priority
4. Building sky-drive : Just for Luxury and for rich people; Government should not spend any
money thus collected through the taxation
5. Unnecessary expenses on un-prioritized highways
6. ProtectionagainstimportfromChinashouldhave dealt with highest priority. Looking at USA at
least Government should wake up. There are so many businesses are dying say in textile
industry in Surat
7. Politics of revenge – Like P Chidambaram being harassed by CBI
8. Politicsof no respect– Veterans like L K Advani and Yashwant Sinha, etc have been side lined.
He can not extractthe outputtakingadvantagesof the talent.That’s the reason NaMo could let
Raghuram Rajanto go; whofounddifficulttoworkwithNaMoand mainlywithfinance minister
Arun Jaitley.
Failures:
1. Growth rate deteriorated

117
2. Export did not rise
3. Industrial productionisstagnantfrom4 to 3.3 to 4.4 and there has notbeenrise inemployment
4. There is no governance exists, except Sushamaji, no minister acknowledges letter or tweet or
comments/acknowledges to SNS and/or respond
5. Many opportunities were lost to bring the innovative changes in taxation and their reforms
6. Many schemes declared however not implemented on ground floor
7. Electricity supply – 18,000 villages have been powered, is it a joke? We have 6 lacs villages in
India, what is a quantum?
8. No newer IIT or IIMstarted
9. No aggressive or normal strategy to plug holes in systems at various places, No eagerness to
have smallest possible improvements in the processes making those more efficient except
Passport office. Just to name few
a. Food distribution
b. Police
c. Banking
d. RTO and many more
e. Educational reforms
f. Health and medicine related reforms
10. Corruptionisnotreducedat the root level,there are no special schemes implemented so as to
curb the grass root corruption
11. Leakage inbanking – Few top industrialists looted the banks in billions of rupee and ran away.
Allowing those to fly out of country is a huge failure of government.

118
12. Restlessness among society – There have been rising agitation of Patel, Farmers, Maratha, etc
across nation
13. Food grain insurance – Rs 12 /- paid against the insurance! The policies without checking its
sustenance were declared and hence failed
14. ImportinggoodfromChina – 80 B$ worth of good beingordered,majoritybyGovernmentitself.
We import 68.06 B$ goods where as export only 16.3 B$ during 2017-18; no action to protect
ourselves
E.g. BSNLorders huge amount of instruments from China. How can we strengthen the Make in
India policy? How can we protect ourselves? And increase the employment?
15. No innovative or simple improvements in the processes using technologies
16. SwachhataAbhiyan – Onlypeople participationwouldnot lead to success of the scheme. Tax is
collected by center must be used for the purpose. Government officials should be made
responsible.Technologiesshouldhave been used to improve the cleanliness. It became a joke
that leaders for the sake of photos and videos, do it yearly once for 5-30 minutes.
17. Cleanliness of Ganga and large rivers– Everyone is aware the status, its waste of money and
nothing are achieved. A person agitating to expedite this drive died on fasting. Government
proved to be deaf, insensitive and indecisive.
18. Representation on Rafael deal – Explanation was not transparent, straight and complete
19. Rupee has been falling to newer lower levels , now at 74 Rs per USD
20. Fuel prices rising sky high
21. No change or improvement in the processes & systems, like getting justice and treatment at
Police station, or closure of the cases, and overall system efficiency
22. Inflation and cost of living has been rising
23. Could not sustain critics within party, does not have ability to take most of the parties along
24. No innovativeideasimplemented like Mass Rapid Transport at free of cost so as to save fuel or
auto- deduction of toll using EMAS
25. I have not seen a single toilet build by government in the village areas I had moved
26. Gas cylinder price has increased
27. No protection against free fall of stock market or rupee
28. There is no realization what people expect. There has been Man ki baat being broadcast
fortnightly where as people want him to listen them and their expectations
29. Governance – Simple pointslike websitesof variousministrycontactuspagesor loginworkflow
do not work, its an eye wash of the people
30. No black money brought back from Switzerland or any other countries
31. Not enough additional treaty signed to hand over criminals taking shelter in those countries
32. Foreign investment has been dipping. In any case if it comes without creating employment, is
not of great helptothe country.FI brings and invest money and take away huge dollar outflow
as profits (its naturally); no strong condition defining ratio of employment to investment. We
just offer them huge consumer market and bring competition to our own manufacturers like
Tata.
33. There have been atmosphere of hate within society and was not controlled to the extent
needed.
34. Curbing anti-nationalist activities – There have been activities of deeply rooted terrorists
institutes like SIMI, etc; have not been dealt effectively.
35. Many unwanted actions were initiated
a. The Budget date was changed to February 1
b. The Railway Budget was done away with
c. Planning Commission was replaced with NITI Aayog

119
36. Rapes have not been reduced; need to expedite process to book the culprit and do justice
37. Increase inMinimumsupportprice forfarmers;howeveritwouldburdenthe commonmen
38. Managing Kashmir issue
39. He saidone hour of air travel would cost maximum 2500 Rs; he should try to book the ticket on
travel portal, 1-2 days in advance to know the rates; its not about he could not do; its about
creditability of prime minister’s position!
Propaganda
1. Foreignvisits –NaMo visitedmost of the countries as a customer of trade (weapons or goods).
Obviously he would be treated like a customer only.
2. Beatingdrums – Major schemes or events were declared/implemented/planned by Congress.
Those were either continued or renamed. Lot of beating of the drums happens seeking the
credits. As examples
a. Right to information
b. Mid-day meal
c. Right to education
d. Right to food
e.
What happed to these?
1. Make inIndia– Howmany contract signedto manufacture in India while buying the good from
overseas countries?
2. Develop teachers and send those to other countries
3. Develop the soldiers and send those to other countries
4.
Financial burden:There have beenburden of Taxes on people. Moreover an opportunity to rationalize
taxes has been lost. There are no innovative proposals to reform the taxes
1. Tax on long term gain on shares
2. Subsidiary for gas is suggested to withdraw voluntarily
3. Swachhata Abhiyan tax
4. Gain was not passed on to the consumer while oil cost of lesser
5. Lower crud cost benefits was not passed on to the people
Why few might vote for BJP
1. There seems to be lack of leadership in Congress house
2. There seems to be no strong alternative
3. Dr. Manmohan Singh would not be able to lead due to his old age
4. Mr. Chidambaram may get occupied in CBI and Legal battle

120
5. Leadersof remainingpartiesare mostselfish and corrupt except few like may be Chandrababu
Naidu; will not accept the leadership of Congress
6. There might be fight for PM’s position within opposition parties
7. Congress has been dividing the society
What isthe model we need?ArvindKejriwal isone of the mostdynamicleaderscountryhasseen so far.
He has surely different models and guts to implement those successfully.
1. Improving education and making it free
2. Free health and medicine
3. Curbing corruption by uploading audio/video files
15. Connectingriversandconservingwater –To offercleanwater

AnalysisbyManmohanSingh,formerprime minister
Modi hasfailedelectorate,achievedonly'emptygestures':ManmohanSingh
File photo of former prime minister Manmohan Singh. Photo: ANI
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday criticised his successor
for failing the electorate and "vitiating" the environment of national
institutions such as the CBI and universities.
Speaking at the release of a book on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, titled
'The Paradoxical Prime Minister: Narendra Modi and His India'
by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, Singh said the "idea of India" is under
threat under Modi and that voters' faith in his words and promises has
eroded.
"The governmenthe (Modi) presides over has been mostly silent in the face of widespread communal
violence, mob lynching, and cow vigilantism ... the environment of our universities and national
institutionslike the CBIhasbeenvitiated,"he said. "On the economic front, nothing concrete has been
done to bring back the promised billions allegedly held abroad as black money. A hastily
implemented demonetisation and GST have proved to be disastrous for the economy."
"Petrol anddiesel pricesare athistorichighdespite the fall ininternational crude oil prices because the
Modi governmentchose tolevy excessive excisedutyinsteadof passingonthe benefitof the low prices
to the people of India," he said.
Singhtermedthe Modi governmentashavingachieved"nothingmore than a series of empty gestures"
and characterised it with "foolhardy initiatives".
1.7.6 Ordinance-Issue
Stake holders of ordinance on convicted law makers & God
Rahul Gandhi Vice president of Indian National Congress said on the ordinance sent to President for
approval and to declare it as a law as “ This ordinance is non-sense, it is to be torn and thrown!”
Wonderful…He has guts to stop the ordinance to become a law of this country.

123
This statement has created a wave across India, on TV channels, news paper media and most
importantlyinthe mindsof millionswithhundredsof questions.Manyhave common questions striking
Like whole nation, I am also wondering what he wanted to achieve by doing this.
1. Recentlyitis observed that ordinances are brought and converted as law. Why Cong & Govt not
discussing the issues in Parliament? Do they not believe in the parliamentary democracy
anymore?
2. What is happening Dr. Manmohan Singh? Sonia Gandhi? Do you have a control ?
3. Does RG, SG, MMS believe functioning of democracy?
4. DoesRG wantto create a distinctimage of Mr. Clean for himself, creating distance and different
style of others? And is he ok to term others negatively?
5. Was this a plot? Did he and those who planned this plot understand, he would be probably
achievingbyreferringtothe entire Government useless? Is that ok with the Party president and
Government, Central Ministers and members of parliament?
6. Was n't ordinance discussed with Party before sending to President of India?
7. Was Rahul Gandhi not aware of the contentof the ordinance submittedinparliamentwherehe is
a member?
8. Was RG busywhile ordinance wassubmittedtoParliamentandlatersenttoPresidentanddidnot
had a time to look into?
9. Why he did not stop it before sending it to President of India?
10.Did Rahul Gandhi change his mind about ordinance? When?
11.Was such a statementof RG needed?Or could it been handled well silently, politely, with more
maturity?
12.Was the timing of such shout and shot correct?
13.Was this too show I am a boss, even above Government and any cabinet ministers?
14.When did RG first wrote to PMor SG about this? Have PMand cabinet ministers did not respect
hisviewsandpushedordinance considering himas“Pappu”in politics? And is that the reason RG
got so much annoyed?
15.WhenRG referstoan ordinance senttoPresidentforapproval,headsof all cabinetministerswho
are responsible for running the government, a country, were nodded in favor and is termed as
non-sense, are we in deep pathetic situation where these leaders in parliament are idiots?
16.RG’s viewsare of the party, spoke person said so. Thus Congress party agreeing & making public
statement..its Govt, PM, Cabinet ministers are worth useless! What a pathetic show, isn’t it!!!
17.BJP and most of the political party wanted changes in the verdict ordered by Supreme Court. Is
any party clean? Most of the parties have convicted leaders. Is it a time for revolution in India?
18.Are these true opinions of RG? Since he did not utter a word earlier, his support was granted.
19.Could have RG used better language and given enough time during press conference?
20.Would Congress gains out of this or loses? Would BJP gains out of this? What are the political
mileages gained?
21.Is it a good and sincere move by RG though a bit late? Would we be having a new leader
Mr.Clean?Since whencanwe witnessthe moveslike firingthe convictedpeople out of his party?
22.There is plenty to do then! Firstly add new memberships to fill-in 80% vacant places! Would he
really start a movement for cleaning immediately? Would he declare the vision, mission, goals,
objectives and plan with clear timeline?
23.Would he really want to remove the convicted members of parliament? If more than half a
parliament becomes empty if law comes as directed by supreme court, many of us would have
chance to be there because of pretended honesty and till are proved guilty!
24.If any Mr.Cleandecidestomeetonlyhonest&leaderswithprinciples,whomhe/she wouldmeet?
Do we have any? Many questions and worries...OMG!

2.1 Education
2.1.1 My Teachers: Whomade me!
It issaid thatwhat we are due to our teachers.Itisabsolutelytrue.Ihave beenluckyto have wonderful
teachers. I take this opportunity while writing a blog, to express sincere gratitude towards them.
I rememberall the teachersdistinctly.Thereare one ormore storiesassociatedwitheach.I did attempt
to meet those and succeed to meet few.
I was admitted to nursery Yashwant Prarthamic Vidyalay, Shirpur. It was owned by Mrs. Joshi. Her
husbandwasa lawyer.Theyhad2 schools.Firstwasnurseryschool andsingle storied.They used to live
justadjacentto it.At around100 meters,there wasa 2nd
school and wasa multi-storiedbuilding. At the
ground floor Mr. Joshi used to run his legal office.

standardwhile at5 yearsold.I do not
rememberanythingof 1st
standard.Howeverfollowingwere my teachers during subsequent years. We
did not have English as a language till 4th

my fatherandsaidI was not doinggood.I wasa bitsurprised.Deal was done between my

hours.
I had a magic slate. One can write using a scrapper. There was a plastic page which is
supported by black color wax. Once you lift the plastic paper, letters written on the slate
will be vanished(cleaned).Itookitin school.Bansiguruji hadassignedan exercise to write
tables.Ishowedhim.He wasok..when second day I showed him, he thrown the slate out
of door. I collected it and ran at home to collect a standard slate.

Shri.A.P.Shah: Young,energetic,mature teacher, used to teach us Science. Once I was walking on the

usedto standat back door, listentowhatisbeingtaughtand ask questionstoeitherstudentsor

the teachingandthenaskedwhat does it mean quoting 2lines “ kankar kankar hai shiv Shankar
tirthraj Kailaska”; I knewthe answerbutdidnotdare. Noone else stood.Thenhe explainedand
guided to Gaud sir as well. I wish today I should have stood up.
2. It was again hindi class, Kishor Suryawanshi said something nasty, so he asked to entire class
who spoke this, no one said anything so I said Kishor said it. Then Gaud sir remarked that
“zeenat aman would not remember you while latrine”; I guess Kishor said something about
Zeenat Aman!
During school days paying monthly fee and buying books & notebooks used to be challenge. Books
purchasedbyeldersisterusedtogo to eldersister Kantathenme thentomy niece and back to younger
sister. We used to collect free unused notebook pages and get binding as notebooks for next classes.

Botany – Prof Mrs Nandre – She loves me as a child. She had wonderful hand writing. She was
determined & respectful due to her intellect. I always felt proud of both of them. While she was
teaching,herhusbandwaspursuing his doctorate at Pune University and occasionally visits to Shirpur.
She usedto teachpassionately.Once oncomment of one of the students namely Sonar, she was angry
and said, she would slap him! There was a pin-drop silence.
She visited on 5th Oct 2014 at Lotus, Pune. “Today is like diwali and daserra; my professor mrs.Nandre
madam of 11th and 12th std visited and blessed; teachers build d lives!
Received True blessing from bottom of heart from my professor Mrs.Nandre madam of 11 and 12 the
std. From shirpur.

considering my brother was also doing graduation from the same college.
Mr. N. F. Karnavat : Everyone calls him “Sir” so do I. He visited engineering hostel A block while I was
studyinginsecondyear.AnandPratishtan hasbeenofferingscholarshiptocleveraspiringstudentssince

methim.He usedto supervise the progress.Irememberhavingspenttime withyouchatting on various

on value.Latervisitinghishouse,havingdiscussion and chatting, seeking guidance became a common.
Duringmid-nineties software industry was booming. I was working as a mechanical engineer then. He
was instrumentalin pursuing me to shift from mechanical to software industry. His contribution in my
life ismuchmore than this.Itwouldbe difficulttocapture whatall he taught me,howeverfundamental
value system and principles of living life were taught by him through
preaching, chatting, discussion direct or indirect messages & his own
behaviore.That’swhyhe qualifiestobe mostlovedteacherlike Firke sir. Even
now he remains a part of family, mentor and keeps advising if asked. He
continues to be concerned about me, my family, my health and my growth!

slotting in mass scale for the nails/ screws. Thus we selected a project. Networking and
observations proved to be very useful.
49. Finally engineering results were declared. I got distinction. I did not have a job at campus
selection.Iattendedinterviews at 4 places, one at Garware Polyster, Aurangabad who offered

2.2 InterestingExperiencesrelatedto switchingfrom Mechanical to Software industry
1. Migrating to Software industry: I was 39 then, working with Virgo, a mechanical valve
manufacturingcompanyandfairlyhappy.Ihad 85 balance leaves.A close acquaintance,mentor
and guide Mr. Nemichandji Karnavat motivated me to consider working in software industry. I
did not know much about software development though have at depth experience in
programming in C, FORTRAN, Autolisp, ACad, FEA, etc. I had worked earlier as functional

193
consultantformaterial managementsystem.Ialso worked as additional responsibility to Head
of Design&Developmentincapacityof project manager to implement BaaN. Organisation was
giving the priority to business and invoicing for March end. I had very tough discussion with
Chairman leading to decision to do or not to do! Finally BaaN was implemented with nice
planning,trackingthe runrate of all the activities.We startedin April and went live by Sep! We
had discussion about positive points that there is no politics in IT industry, people have very
positive attitude, and they are focused on job, and sincerely deliver. There have been
opportunitiestolearna lotand beinggrowingindustryit’sagoodcareeroptiontoswitchand so
I had decided to make a switch.
2. I listedthe buzz words and met few friends settled in IT. Requested their guidance, to arrange
the topicsin sequence how do I study, which topic to be studied first. I purchased many books
of different technologies like Microsoft and Java, Databases, etc; joined classes of Aptech and
Datapro. I used to read first 5 pages of the book to understand the topic and its importance. I
designed my own training program as below. I also studied and plan to appear for Sun
certification of Java. I used to open the lab and close myself.
3.
When I completed the course, so lucky I am, got a job opportunity as project manager at
Comsoft, Singapore. I did take few class mates and faculty to Singapore offering those job
opportunities.

2.3 Tourism : Trip to South India & Trip to Saurashtra
Why I am sharing the tour details: I always felt that India has tremendous tourism potential, however
didnot encash.ReasonsbeingGovernment did not take larger initiatives to make total transparency &
honesty in the business though it has been improving now, and tourist organisations do not want to
maximize returnonthe expense of the tourists.Followingboththe trips were well planned maximizing
the enjoyment.
It was a great trip to south India from 10th
Dec 2012 evening till 23rd
Dec 2012 afternoon from Pune at
various places as below along with wife Chanchala, Daughter Sanjana and Son Sarang!
Total km Travelled – 900 km to & fro to 1st
destination Bangalore and 3000 km of tour thus 4800 km,

2.4 Atalji-Known-To-me
Atalji : We lostourex-prime minister,on16th
Aug 2018, at the age of 93! There were tearsinmy eyes.I
nevermethiminperson;howeverIama greatfollower,abigfanof him.
I might be of 9 years old, it was 1971. We were staying at Shirpur, a small town of north Maharshtra in
Dhule district. As a child and student we used to discuss about Jan Sangh and Congress. There were
slogans painted on the walls,
kam hatha la, pani shetala, mate kunala Jansanghala काम हाताला, पानी शेताला, मते कु णाला जनसंघाला
mera naam joker, congress ko maro thokar मेरा नाम जोकर, क ंग्रेस को मारो ठोंकर
Congress also used to paint
Johney mera naam, Congress se hi apna kam - ज नी मेरा नाम, क ंग्रेस से ही अपना काम
I used to visit Jan Sangh office, to collect calendar and sticker
made of silksaffroncolored cloth. Those used to have symbol of
Deep (Lamp) printed on it, photo of Atalji wearing a closed neck
tiedcoat and calendaronotherside.Pralhadrao Madhavrao Patil
usedto be a candidate fromJan Sangh,for assemblyelection and
fight against Shivajirao Girdhar Patil, of Congress a father of
eminent heroine Smita Patil. That was my introduction to Atalji.
.
My cousinusedtotell me that Atalji wouldnevervisittosucha small town;
he is sucha bigperson.FriendBharat(Shirpur) sharedpicturesof hisvisitto
our town .Later I went to Pune for engineering in 1979. I used to enjoy
mostlyall publicmeetingof Atalji.Irememberhavingattendedmeetings at
S.P. College or Fergusson College ground; and at Shaniwar wada. Once I
visited Sagar Hotel in camp where BJP’s national executive meeting was
takingplace.I wasluckyto see Atalji from the distance of 2 meters! What a
grand personality!Peaceful, contended and simple! Once I attended Yuwa
Guidance meeting in presence of Atalji and Pramod Mahajan. Pramod
Mahajan mentionedthatitsrare occasionhe is talkingandAtalji islistening!
Atalji mentionedthathe waswonderingwhatwashe doinginyoungworkersmeeting?Thenadded,as
RajeevGandhiji getalongwitholdpersonUSA presidentRonaldRegan,he wouldalsotrytogetalong!
I alwayshada question.Whatisthe creditabilityof the guyssharingthe daiswithAtalji?Are those even
worth of his nail? Many guys made their political career under umbrella of Atalji. There were political
compulsions. How can Atalji appeal to vote for one of the corrupt MP of Pune?
Later he grew till PM’s Position. The discussions during trust confidence motion in parliament were
broadcasted through TV. We got opportunities to hear those. And those were new introduction to
emotional, tough and clear Atalji. These lectures are now available on YouTube as well, thanks to
technology. Atalji remained as a emotional poet by heart and political leader by brain.
When I think about various attributes of Atalji, those are as
1. Great leader – ability to take the followers on the predetermined path
2. Visionary
3. Huge Courage from many aspects, to put up own views, not to bog down to pressure, to
demonstrate the strengths

198
4. Grasping of the situation, analyzing and taking corrective measures
5. Balance even during tough situations
6. Dreamer
7. Executor – Trusting the colleagues and offering complete freedom
8. Clarity
9. Synchronized thoughts, talk and actions
10. Right views, right intention, right speech and right actions, everyone observed the results!
11. Simplicity
12. Grounded and humble
13. Common worker at ground level
14. Honesty : the top most priority offered by him, he always cared for the creditability
15. Command on fluent Hindi, Great orator and speaker, ability to grab the audience in first 3 to 5
minutesof the speechandhuge vocabulary,use of correctwordsand perfectarticulationmixed
with right emotion & effective body language
16. Amazingly humorous
17. Lovable – Everyone will love him, own party people or opposition, people person
18. Good will and commanding the respect
19. No greediness, much above materialistic world!
20. Patience and tolerance: Only Atalji who won the war without fighting it, that was only a
tolerance!
21. A tall man above partyline,increditableintegrityandunique personality!Countryfirstattitude,
not power hungry!
22. Collaboration: Ability to collaborate with all, respecting the different views.
23. Atalji …You born and delivered as Santa claus..happiness, peace, ethics! You are really Santa
Claus...Salute to you!
I observed Atalji walking in Parliament before confidence motion, what a peaceful mind, no
nervousness, no grid for power..amazing!
It is not simple to achieve; those should study who plan to attend interview & grab better career
opportunity, want to grab business tender, ambitious to climb d next step of the ladder or to be
politicians..
While I consider his achievements –
 Large contribution is spreading the ideology to grow a party from 3% vote share to 40% vote
share.
 He wasa massleader,lovedbyall.Everyonewantedtohearhim.Everyone would trust him. He
was a symbol of trustworthiness, collaboration and honesty!
 As a PM
o Running 26 parties coalition government
o Getting country’s economy on track, continued with the reasonable rate of growth
o Pokhran 2 during May 1998 to make country secured and bringing peace
o Building /connecting highways
o Lahore summit, Sincere attempt to be friendly with neighboring country
o Winning Kargil war
o Attempt of Agra summit
o Establishing democratic process in Kashmir
o Idea of connecting rivers across nation
 He was chosen to represent Indian side on Kashmir at UN General Assembly by PMthen Mr.
Narasimha Rao and did successfully
 He was successful external affair minister during Janata Party regime of 1977-79

199
 Great emotional poet
There were challenging situation during his regime which he dealt successfully
 1999 - Indian airline airplane hijacked
 2001 - Attack on parliament
 2002 – Gondhra and subsequently Gujrat violence
What a speech of Vajpayeeji!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-DKExBH9mQ
1. Sharing policies & thought process with trust, transparency, clarity and confidence
2. Respecting opposite views of colleges
3. Amazing control & command of wording and language
4. Intention to be powerful but not misusing it
Lot to learn!
He witnessed many deaths of politicians in young age. Sanjay Gandhi and Madhavraj Sindhiya were
amongthe youngesttodie.He mentionedwhilepayinghomage thatitwasa deepdark in a day and sun
was set in a day; and destiny cannot be so cruel respectively.
My earlier posting on Facebook on his birthday : Happy birthday to respected hon. Atalji Bihari
Vajpayee, a tall man above party line, in creditable integrity, too honest & wonderful orator, unique
personality! Legend of Era & one of the role models of Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance...Visionary,
true mass leader, great orator, having many many attributes of personality...Dedication, sacrifice,
struggle,honesty,persistence, kind & sensitive human being, tough, unselfish, and many more...! We
misshisactive participationthough!Wishing him good health & long life! Clarity, simplicity, visionary,
collaboration, leadership..salute and happy birthday! You are really Santa Claus...
During emergency we at the age of 15 became a hard fan of Atalji
After almost 19 months of Emergency, when Atalji stood up to speak at the Ramleela Maidan, he was
cheered for several minutes. He started with a couplet:
बडी मुद्दत के बाद ममले हैं दीवाने, कहने सुनने को हैं बहुत से अफ़साने,
आओ जल्दी दो बातें कर लें,ये आजादी कब तक रहेगी कौन जाने
We would never chat again Atalji...miss you forever!
I always consider myself lucky being around in the era of Devanand, Vijayanand, Amitabh, Rajesh
Khanna, Madhubala, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat, Lata mangeshkar, Kishorda, SD Burman,
SisterShivani,AbdulKalam,Bill Gates, Narayan Murthy, Indira Gandhi, Atalji Vajpayee and Manmohan
Singh and NaMo...! Miss seeing Bapu...though!

2.5 MyBollywoodMemoriesAndLove
My love, my childhood..my hobby…Bollywood memories
I try to rememberwhendidIgetacquaintedwithHindi CinemaWorld,Bollywood first time as a child? I
faintly remember and mostly it was the first incidence. We were living at Shirpur town in North
Maharashtra, district Dhule. Shirpur was of 40,000 population and having 2 theatres then Bhandari
Chitra Mandir owner by our neighbor and friend of my elder brother Raju Bhandari and Datta Chitra
Mandir. There were 2 open theatres at near villages Raj Talkies, at Arthe and other was at Shevgaon,
one justopposite toS P D M College,a little outskirt of Shirpur. There used to be 2 shows, from 6:0 pm
to 9:0 pm and second from 9:0 pm to 12:0 pm.
I was 10 years old, in 5th
standard then. I had moved from Yashwant Prarthamik Vidyalaya (basic
elementary school) to P B M high School, having English as one of the subjects. We had annual
examinationstartingfromMonday.Itwas Sundayevening. I went to watch Johney mera naam. Second
day wasEnglishexaminationpaper.Ididwell, got 84 marks out of 100! I distinctly remember haircut of
DevAnand,and hisSaffroncolorjacket. I remember a scene in which Hema Malini puts the revolver at
back of Dev Anand. There was a reason; my cousin had a keychain having a film inside it of the same
picture. Brother-in-law of my sister was gifted in dowry a record player. It had an arrangement of
holdingmanyrecordsat a time.It had record of Johney Mera Naam, and I had enjoyed listening all the
songs of JMN then.
Keychain Posture Posture (could not find similar,
not exact)
There is a story associated with this film. There was a competition among the theatre owners who
would display the latest movie at the earliest. During fair of Shirpur town, this business was a crowd
pullingsince manyvillagersvisitingtofairwouldalsowatchthe movies.A ownerof Raj Theatre of Arthe
village did a trick by cheating. He put the posture (banner) of Johney Mera naam however was
displayingMeraNaamJoker.My brotherwithhisfriendswenttowatchthe movie on cycle. He was late
to return. My father was worried and angry. I learnt he shouted at him.
My secondmemory goes to Kati Patang. My aunty was living at a village namely Untawad, close to our
town.She was a regularviewerof Hindi Cinema. She will ride a bullock-cart and visit to the theatre. So
my mother and aunty along with me went to watch Kati Patang. It was release at Mumbai on 29th
Jan
1971. Theatre ownerswill getthe movie,the reel of the movie infilmformatina tinbox calledpeti from
the distributors at Bhusawal or Amarawati. It used to take 9 months to 15 – 18 months to show in
theatresof our town.Soit mightbe 1972, I was 10 then.Idistinctlyremember,songsye jomohbbathai,
and AshaParekhinwhite saree singingNakoi Umanghai,and lastlyJisGali me tera ghar na ho balma… I
have one more memory of visiting to see a name board at tailor shop. His name was famous tailor. He
had displayedpaintingof RajeshKhannahavingpose of songYe sham mastani!We usedto call ownerof
a shop as mastertailor.My brotherdanced on song ye jo mohhabat hai, & fetched huge 100 Rs reward.

209
Song scene Song scene Song & Painting
I will be paid Rs 1 to see one movie in one month. Ticket rates shall be front and floor – 65 Paisa,
Benches with & without back – 85 Paisa, and Balcony for Rs 1 and 10 paisa. When movie is declared as
tax free,itwill be 30,50 and65 Paisarespectively.Ialsoremembersometimes it used to be front-floor
at 15 paisa. I missed to watch Janwar aur Insaan at 30 paisa since I had watched some other movie in
that month. Recently I got a DVD and watched it.
Visiting to all theatres daily : While in standard 5th
, school will have a mid-day break for 30 minutes. I
along with 2 friends will visit to theatre to see which film is to be screened, and the postures of new
films;These theatreswereinmarket so our route shall be from school to theatre 1, to market, then 2nd
theatre and then 3rd
theatre and then home for brunch (breakfast). And chat about new releases, box
office success, hero-heroin, their gossip, etc while walking on this route. That was a great routine.
Various new postures displayed at Datta Talkies
Next to our shop there was a pan wala. Theatre owners will ask him to hang the small postures at his
shop since it was a central place for publicity. Few postures also used to be displayed at the theatres.
Screen : My brother used to borrow Screen Cine NEWS paper from his friend who is an owner of
Bhandari ChitraMandir. He will trytohide itbelow pillow cover,which I will find and read. I remember
full screenadvertisementof NawabaurShabab (Sharab word was replaced due to emergency control),
Mr.John,Shareef Badmaash,ChhupaRustum, Banarasi Babu,Des-Pardes;etc.Idid post questions to be
answered in a forum twice. I did send few times questions out of which 2 questions were published

210
Collection of Dev Anand photos : My brother used to collect photos of Dev Anand, I remember many
photos, but distinctly remember these. One just mentioning Directed by and full pose photo below.
Withdigital worldandconnectingwithsocial networkingwebsitesIhave now collected more than 2000
photos of Anand families.
https://goo.gl/photos/7sKXoXxQPTQbzrLK9 and https://photos.app.goo.gl/YnHmpGoka1JRXyeBA
Visitingto liabrary daily : There was one more routine to visit Municipal Library at around 9:0 am when
school time used to be 11:0 am till 5:0 pm. I will read .. not front news but last and second last page of
Marathi and English news papers like Kesari, Maratha (from Pune), Maharashtra Times and Loksatta
(Mumbai). On which movies released, in which week it was running, and list of theatres will be
mentioned. I distinctly remember Joshila running 32 cinema hall in second week, that used to be
consideredasa huge success. Other movies I remember are Heera Panna for 8th
week at Empire, Prem
Shashtrafor 5 weeksandIshq-Ishq-Ishqfor3 weeks.Irememberadvertisementof Joshilain newspaper
showing Dev Anand both hands in front pockets, that was a fashion then.
In Kesari there will be manyadvertisements
of movies including one running during
matinee, along with small photo of hero or
heroine, name of movie and theatre. I
rememberadvertisementof BaatEk Raat ki,
and photo of Dev Anand. Prabhat news
paper used to publish on Thursday itself
release of old-new
movieswhichwas helping us to plan better like we watched Guide at Neelayam, Albela, Hum Dono at
Vasant, etc
8 week of run, song topping in
Binaca
5 weeks of run, positive
review in newspaper
Ran 32 theatres 2nd
week
3 weeks of run,
major flop
Every Saturday movie review shall be published. I remember a title and review of Prem Shastra,
“Wadhatya rangaticha chatakdar – Pram Shashtra” I do have a cutting from Loksatta.
In the market one guy used to sell a small booklet of songs at 10-15 paisa. I remember brother having
purchased few & I learnt by heart these songs Amar Prem (Chingari koi bhadake), Prem Pujari (Taqad
watan ki hamse hai),and Upkar (Mere desh ki Dharati)
I watched many other movies…having some distinct memories associated with
Gopi (70) – There was craze of Dilip Kumar among brothers and friends. The day Gopi was released in
our town, it was a talk of the town.
Gopi – 2 songs (Bhajan) of Gopi are amazingly liked,
 Sukh ke sab saathi, dukh me nako and
 He Ramchandra kag gaye siha se aisa kalyug aayega
Yaadgar (70) – A song was very popular Ek tara bole, and posture had camels and fighting scenes

211
Mere Mehboob (63) and Mere Apne (71) – My sister along with me started walking towards Datta
Talkieswhere Mere Apne wasshown.Thenshe realizedthatatBhandari Chitra mandir, mere Mehboob
was beingshown.Iwasinterestedinmovie withafighting.She triedconvincingme thatMere mehboob
has a hero Rajendra Kumar and is a chocolate hero. We went to see. I was waiting for fighting scene,
repeatedly asking to my sister when would fighting scene will come? I saw owner of Bhandari Chitra
Mandir before end of cinema was standing behind. I remember distinctly having told him that kya
bandle movie bata rahe ho, kuch bhi fighting scene nahi hai
Dushman (72) release was a topic of discussion in a town of 40,000 population Shirpur ShirpurKAR
RCPIT,ShirpurSchools,colleges,market,everywhere...;whenmovie wasshowninthe Bhandari theatre!
It was another movie my elder sister took me with her. I was 10 years old. This was post her marriage.
We bothwentto myuncle’shouse tomeethimsince he fell andfractured his leg. Later we went to see
movie.Uncle said,itwasa nice movie,wadaterawada! We friendsusedto discuss the dialogues of the
movie, chacha, ye tractor muze de do , mai is khet ki aisi ki taisi kar dunga!
Haathi mere saathi (71) – a movie having highest emotional branding, was shown very late and print
qualitywastooverybad. It wasmany times discontinued while showing. There were lines & scratches
on the screen.My mother& I went to watch this movie. I remember entire audience used to cry when
elephantfriendnamelyRamudies!We bothcriedat the endduringthe song Nafrat Ki Duniya Ko Chhod
Ke!.AfterfewyearslateragainnewprintwasreleasedandIsaw it again. There were many new scenes
were existing which were cut due to bad print.
Rajesh Khanna..an only Superstar of Indian Cinema having enjoyed the steepest success; almost all
platinum /golden/ silver jubilee films in shortest duration of 2 -3 years! That was an era of Rajesh
Khanna.. Even Tailor or posture had this name and we all friends, students of class 5 went to see the
posture, discussing only a topic! This was a craze!
RajeshKhannadid180 films - 163 feature filmsand17 short films.By2011, he heldrecordfor maximum
numberof filmsas the solo lead hero and least number of multi star cast films in Hindi Cinema. Of the
163 films - 106 were soloherofilmsand22 were multi starfilmsand29 filmshadhiminspecial effective
guest appearances and 6 unreleased.
Duringhiscareer RajeshKhannaplayedthe leadin,74 filmswere GoldenJubileeHits(shownincinemas
for more than 50 continuous weeks) including 48 films which ran Platinum Jubilee hits (75 continuous
weeks) and22 filmswere SilverJubileehits(shownformore than 25 weeks but less than 50 weeks). He
also performed on 9 films which became average grosses.
He also made the world record of having 17 successive super-hits in 3 years from 1969-71 which
included 15 consecutive solo super-hit films and 2 two hero films namely Andaz and Maryada.

212
Those consecutive hit solo lead hero films from 1969-71 were Aradhana, Doli, Bandhan, Ittefaq, Do
Raaste, Khamoshi, Safar, The Train, Kati Patang, Sachaa Jhutha, Aan Milo Sajna, Mehboob Ki Mehendi,
Choti Bahu,Anandand Haathi Mere Saathi.Hisnextrelease Maalik flopped ending thereby the record.
Softest..innocent...and emotional face! The First Indian SuperStar Will Remain in our Hearts Forever!
I remember trying to imitate his hair style, & hairband style like many others as depicted in picture
above! What a success he has enjoyed. It needs guts to digest such a huge success. Missing him truly!
What issuccess?How do youlive withsuccess?How doyoudigestsuccess?How do youwatch your exit
postsuccess? Success & failure does not stay, you get to see peak and valley, important is how do you
digest and manage keeping grounded! Lot to learn from you Kaka, many terms to manage...ego,
frustration, struggle, assets, stardom, popularity, craziness...endless!
How can such a person remain on the ground? Can a brain remain without a hot air filled-in? What a
fantastic efforts to regain the same position again without giving up!
During last phase he must had recalled his popularity & getting restless, since there were other stars
emerged on the screen! Unfortunately he failed to understand cycle of life, in-spite of such a huge
success! And #graceful exit was only the way! He kept struggling!
Tere Mere Sapne (71) at Barwah: I went to attend marriage at sister’s place. It was a hobby to visit the
market and theatres of a town to see the postures of the films. I saw postures of 2 movies, Jai Bangla
Deshand tere Mere Sapne.I wentto watchthe eveningshow withmycousin.Iwaswaitingforthe song,
maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune” thinking TMS has it. Later I realized that song belongs to
famous emotional movie Anand of Rajesh Khanna. I wrote a blog on TMS as The most sensitive movie
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqgb6a
Out of few most liked movies, TMS is surely on the top like Guide & Muhgal-E-Azam
I said " Tere mere sapne" when Goldie asked me “Achha...aapke meri konsi film achhi lagati hai?”
Excellent and Very strong story, dialogue, screen play, music, acting, direction!

213
Sapno ke tut Jane see aadmi nahi tut jata...
Apne bare me bhi kuch kaho...tum Kya ho...doctory ke peshe par ek dhabba. Jaganath Kothari, mbbs
Bombaymrcog london...Jinakebharose unkojindagi ki ummidhosakati hai wonasheme churpadahai...
Each frame is unique inthis1 minute scene...no other film in Bollywood has such an intense scene !...I
have watched multiple times, studied facial expressions, dialogue delivery, screen play, and all
aspects...should be included in syllabus..
Tere mere sapne isone of the mostsensitive filmsinBollywood produced and directed by Vijay Anand,
with excellent acting by all actors including Vijay Anand himself and Dev Anand, and one of the best
roles delivered by Mumtaz.

Jarurat (72) – Firstmovie of ReenaRoy,there wasa scene friendwill talk about, “tis rupaye me ek raat”
(one nightfor30 Rs),Not sure if I knew or understood the meaning of this then. We will visit back side
of theatre to collect the cut films of the reel which were thrown while machine operator will run the
dummy run in theatre and assure the continuity.
Malik (72) – My mother & I went to see this movie. After marriage rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore
are sleeping together. My mom asked me, are they husband wife in real life too?
Shareef badmaash (73) – Our economic condition had deteriorated from rich to poor. Rs 1 for one
monthusedto be huge expense. I wanted to watch the movie and requesting my mother for money. I
have read in Screen that in first week it had collection of 8,52,000 (I do not remember exactly last 3
digits),andDevAnandwithshacklesinhishands.Ikept crying, took hammer and hit many times to the
lockof woodencupboard so that I can break it and take money. Poor mother was watching, must have
feltpitythatshe didnot had Rs 1 forhischildto watch a movie.Those marks were seen till recently we
disposed that cupboard. I remember the display of screen photo as below
Raja Jani (72) – duringfairat Shirpurthismovie was shown. In town they will make publicity taking the
postures on 4- wheeler cart announcing using loud speaker. At the same time Marathi movie of V
Shantaram was also successfully shown Pinjara.
Heera Panna (73) – I still remember a small posture of Dev Anand just sitting nervous when everyone
departs from him.
Jugnu(73) – Pairof DharmendraandHema Malini wasverypopular.One of the Marathi Cine Magazine,
Rasrang published list of 25 movies of Hema, if my memory cell still holds the right data, was Prem
Nagar. We will also debate why Hema Malini does not want to do movies with Rajesh Khanna & vice a
versa. Audience used to whistle when Hema 1st
appears on screen in movies.
Bobby (73) – We saw thismovie in Chitra talkies of Jalgaon. My mother, all 3-4 aunties went to Jalgaon
to attend marriage of my cousin (Fufa’s daughter). The movie was very successful, there was song
played everywhere and around and all the time hum Tum Ek kamare me band ho. It was afternoon
show,we sat inour places,movie started.Anditwasdark, one man came and sat in my mom’s lap. She
was extremelysensitiveaboutmen’stouchtoher body and started shivering. Throughout film she was
having concerns. One of other aunts was laughing to her sensitivity. It was a block buster; every song
was hit; mai shayar to nahi; jhoot bole kauwa kate; na mango sona chandi…
Bidaai (74) – Songwas verypopular,merasasarabada paise wala,I watchedthismovie withmymother.
Social movies used to be equal popular and successful.
Anurag (72) : Another movie watched with Bai
Sholay (75) – I was in nineth standard and friend who used to be top in class narrated a story of Sholay
to us in school, he happened to watch it at Nashik so had an upper hand and proud.
Due to restrictionof one movie permonth,there will be dilemma few times which movie I should pick
up, Mastana (of Mehmood) or Do Aankhe Barah Hath? Or Ghar Ghar ki kahani?
Once my brothersuggestedtosee Dil Ek mandir to me and my mother. It was a bit surprising. We both
went to watch it. However that was not an age to understand the sensitivity of Dil Ek Mandir.

215
Once while purchasingvegetables,Isawa colorful posture of a movie made of tin plate. I tried to read,
it was Mughal-E-Azam. It was different than displayed below. Both Dilip Kumar & Prithviraj Kapoor
showninopposite direction.Icannotbelieve eventodaythatfilmlike Mughal-E-Azam can be produced
in India. Look at the series of the events, huge sets, dialogues, continuity, screenplay, acting, music,
songs,direction,andwhatnot!Salute todetermination,perseverance and passion of K Asif, a director.
Alankar theatre opening: Later there was one more theatre came namely Alankar theatre. First movie
displayedwasTangewalaof RajendraKumar.Itran for a quietfew weeks,second movie was Jeet. Later
theydisplayedmovie Shor. There is a related memory. My cousin sister just was married and returned
first time form in-laws place to aunty’s place. She offered to party and take her brothers & sisters to
movie Shor. I was anticipating that she would offer me too, but did not offer.
Opening movie Emotional movie Alankar Talkies Alankar Talkies
Few postures were displayed, one of
those of Warrant. I could not find exact
posture which also has small photo of
Dev Anand running using skets.
I remember two radio advertisements, Warrant – “kanoon ke raksha ke liye, kanoon se ladha” and
“Dharati ke upar baraf, aur baraf ke niche sona, kise pata hai..Chhupa Rustum
One of myfriendsAnil Agrawal usedtoimitate RandhirKapoor&hishair style.Itoo triedbothhair style
one of Dev Anand and other was of Rajesh Khanna, which was a bit difficult.
Nagin (76) : was released in open theatre. I watched at theatre. It was summer. We used to sleep on
terrace.Duringlast showwe couldhearentire movie &dialoguesandcouldnot sleep for entire period.
Chor Machaye Shor (74) – Wonderful pairof Shashi &Mumtaz and nice music,watched at Alankar; “teri
maa ko apni maa kahoo” Many movies were using repeat punch line as a branding!

216
My mother & father had watched a movie together when visited another neighborhood Taluka place
Amalner, I faintly remember name of movie was Kanyadan (Shashi Kapoor, Nanda). She was scared
thinkingstorycanrepeatfor her.My fatherhad watchedSholayat Shrirampurwhile Myothersisterwas
crazilyinlove withBollywoodCinema,particularlyaftermarriage.She hadgone towatch movie directly
to theatre while visiting us post marriage.
There is a sad memory related to a movie Chori-chori. A charity show was
arranged by Rotary. I was invited by a friend Sham living opposite to our house.
He laterdied at young age due to brain tumor. This movie always reminds me of
him, and vice a versa.
Selling ticket in interval: We were given a pass if we get out of theatre during interval. Retail Sellers
were sellingpea-nuts,Watermelonseeds,etc etc outside. We used to either buy or sell pass in around
half the price of ticket. It may be 30 paisa to 50 paisa depending our ticket cost and how good/bad
movie was and its closing climax at the end. I remember selling Gate pass at 30 paisa for the movie
Paras. The song “Tere hothon ke do ful pyare pyare” was popular.
Waited release & watched Joshila, Bullet (Many cuts due to emergency) Amir Garib, Des-Pardes
Fair business Discontinuity of story Successfully ran Successfully ran
I used to curiously watch the postures from the bus while travelling from one town to other from the
window of the bus or train.
It was HRHK Hare Rama Hare Krishnamovie release during71, I adopted a walking style of Devanand in
school so friendsstarted quotingme Devanand.Teacher once said, why I do not walk straight-line, and
walk like a camel in chess!
Binaca : One of my uncleswasstayinginneighborbuilding.Iwill visit every Wednesday at 8:0 pm to 9:0
pm.We oftenusedtodiscussduringschool days about Binaca geet mala, which song stood first, which
star had how many songs, etc
There was a time when there were 5 songs from movies of Dev Anand!(6-7th std - 1973)
Those include Shareef Badmash, Chhupa Rustum and Banarasi babu!
Banarasi babu - Bure Bhi Hum Bhale Bhi Hum (Top); - Mere Peeche Ek Ladki; - Koi Koi Raat Aisi Hoti Hai
Chhupa Rustam - Dheere Se Jaana Khatiyan Mein; - Bolo Kya Humko Doge; - Hum chhupe rustam hain
Shareef Badmash - Neend Chura Ke Raaton; - Tere Sau Deewane Juthe Parvane; - Main Nikal Jaoonga
We used to list using pen and notebook the songs played during annual Binaca Geetmala.
In 1970 Anand brothers gave 3 movies with very interesting /sensitive songs
- Johney Mera Naam (Pal bhar ke liye)
- Heer Ranjha (Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil Mere Kaam Ki Nahi )
- Prem Pujari (Phoolon Ke Rang Se Dil Ki Kalam Se)
What I like about song - Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil Mere Kaam Ki Nahi
I alwaysfeel DevAnandwastedanice songwithoutanyintellectpicturizationduringPhoolonke rang se
Singer : Rafi, Movie: Heer Ranjha, Music Director: Madan Mohan, Lyricist: Kaifi Azmi

- Well planned screen play & shooting, Intellect by Chetan Anand in each frame
- Reflecting the mood & situation using the places and deep expressions of RajKumar!
- The places are like forest, desert, Himalaya, temples, masjid; costume of Mullah and Monk!
Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil /Rafi/Heer Ranjha/Madan Mohan/Kaifi Azmi
Usko khuda mile hai jine khuda ki talaash, muzko to bas zalak mere yaar ki mile
Anothermovie andstar,kingof acting I wouldlike to mention about Dilip Kumar, and song from Movie
Aadmi. Why is Dilipkumar rated One & only ONE!
Aaj Purani Raahon Se Koi Mujhe - Aadmi (1968): Shakeel, Naushad, Mohd. Rafi & Dilip Kumar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdl7qIzxnNc
Observe eachframe & expression!While songplayed,bringingsuchdeep emotions on face is not eazy!
Many actors triedimitatingDilipKumarlikeRajendra,Manoj, Amitabh, Shahrukh, etc. King is only one!
Shireesh Kanekar titled his article "You act while pretending not crying"

218
Anothergreatactor and villainPranhasimpressedme withthese emotions; what an involvement with
the role!He wasa reallyPran(Soul) of cinema.Manoj Kumarofferedarole remembered for a life time,
laterPrakashMehra didthe same magicin Zanjeer.IthasbeenobservedthatPranwasa real recognized
villain,noone inIndiadaredtoname a childas Pran. He was one and onlyone!Anandji mentioned that
everyone sings using mouth but Pran saab sung this song from the deep throat!
Looking at the deep sensitive emotions at their faces in each frame I keep thinking is it director or an
actor or both whomakesit possible &happen?If itwasa retake,till actorneedsto pull the expressions
& emotions on their faces with the same or better intensity. How is it possible? Dilip Kumar simply
walkingonsea-shore turnsa simple song into emotional piece in the movie and pulls the story ahead.
I have intense memory of following songs during childhood
Hum tum Jodi se , bandhe ek dori se Mere desh ki dharti from Upkar
Chingari koi bhadake from Amr Prem Phirki wali tu kal phir aana – Raja aur Rank
Sawan ka mahina, pawan kare sor from Milan Taqat watan ki ham se hai – Prem pujari
Ek pyar ka nagma hai Chhup Gaye Sare Nazare Oye Kya

219
Bagome bahar hai Hum chhupe rustum hai
Samjauta gamo se kar lo Teri galiyo me na rakhenge Kadam
Jis gali me tera ghar na ho balma Chal chal chal mere haathi
Nafrat ki duniya ko chhodkar Hum tum ek kamare me band ho
Dil aisa kisi ne mere toda Ye duniya ye mehfil
Baharo phool barsao from Suraj Tumhi o mata pita tumhi o
Sajan re jhoot mat bolo Sayonara..sayonara..wada nibhaungi
My uncle used to sing…zumka gira re Mere samne wali khidki me
Sansar ki harshay ka itna hi fasana hai- wrote on wall Jyot se jyot jaga ke chalo
Ye maa teri surat bhagwan ki surat..Dadimaa Papa jaldi aa jana - Taqdeer
Barakha rani jara jamke baraso My heart is beating
Hai re hai, nind nahi aay Parde me rahne do Parda na uthao
I like asong Lataji sung ondemandof L. K.Adwani Deputy PM, Jyoti kalash chhalke. There is an intense
memory of the songs liked by my mother. Whenever I hear those, I remember her liking about those.
She alsousedto singoccasionally,likeDekhtere sansarki halatkya
ho gayi bhagwan, kitana badal gaya insaan! She liked 2
mischievous songs of Dev Anand top in Binaca geet Mala, Dheere

March 1973 Rajesh Khanna marriage was huge and a big news, all the newspapers displayed the news
with photo of marriage on front page. I remember photo published on front page in LokSatta, Marathi
newspaper, mostly it was Sunday. I had heard that girls used to send the letters to him written using
their blood to Rajesh Khanna.
We have watchedmanymoviesas“togetherfirsttime withfriend”duringengineeringlike CID, Mughal-
e-AzamatVijaytheatre,23 Junat Deccan,Jewel Thief atNatraj,etc.I have watched many movies alone
too at morning show like Khamoshi (Rajesh) at Shreenath at 9:0 am show and Jab pyar kisi se hota hai
(at Ratan 10 am show) etc. I watched Amardeep of Rajesh at Aaryan, oldest theatre of Pune.
In 1979 I shiftedtoPune forEngineering.Myfirst movie
watched in Pune is Golmaal at Neelayam theatre with
my brother.
We alsowentto Gunjan talkies to watch Sangam, a late

Khilona was re-released. We went to see the movie. It was one of the worst theatres in Pune area.
My brotherusedtowrite letterstoVijayAnandandShashi Kapoor.He got response fromShashi Kapoor,

you open the catalogue, tiger will move towards a photo of Shashiji holding a gun.
My brothergotengaged.My sister-in-law visitedPune priorto marriage tomeethersister.I wentwith
herto watch a movie Satte pe Satta, againat Neelayam.
Lastlymy love,respecttoDevAnandandin particularGoldie due tohisintense supersuperintelligence.
I saw all of hismovies,directedaswell asacted. Irecentlydeveloped a hobby of capturing story flow of
the movies,anddialogues.Here are the samples.Imisshimdisparatelylike many others. What a strong
mind, simple living, clarity of thinking, and confidence. I do watch few movies as many times Johney
Mera Naam, Guide, Tere Mere Sapne, Jewel Thief, Deewana Mastana, Mugal-E-Azam, Oh My god, etc.
I watched first English & Bond’s movie Spy who loved me during engineering. I recently watched few
motivational English movies and English TV serial 24, all seasons till date.
I pennedastory of 3 characters (teacher,Doctor,Politician&Smuggler) ,capturingfew lifetime lessons
to be learnt. But where is the director, dialogue and screen play writer like Goldie?
When I spoke to Goldie on landline, I said I like your films, he asked which one I like the most..and
smiled;Isaid"Tere mere sapne"thoughpeople like Guide!Itisunbelievableandsurprise tosee at 21 he
directed film Nau Do Gyarah and at 26 he wrote dialogues & screen play of Hum Dono. Guide remains
number 1 of Bollywood, by all means its Goldie's movies & his intellect.

One of the best captures of storyline of Guide

Bollywoodsurelygiftedwiththe extra-ordinarytalent,sharpclarityof thinking and simplicity of Goldie,

style. Unfortunately we did not see the continuity with next generations.
Belowdialoguesof HumDonocan offeryoua taste of Goldiessharp,clearandstrongthinking, while he
was just at 26-27. Real sensitivity of Goldie was observed during Tere Mere Sapne. Its sad later his
tracked got changed until again acted in serial Tehkikat.

I have jotted down a story plot of a movie and hope it gets adapted. Also I have drawn sketches of
eventsinmylife includingchildhood.Iintendtoshare those with producers. Hope the methodology as
well as events get captured in a movie story some other day.
Later watching movies became integral part of life. Post study and having achieved financial goal &
careergrowth,nowI developedstudyingatdepththe movie story,reviews,personalities,theirthinking,
movie making,storywriting,screenplay,direction,songs&musicandtheirintegration, etc. It is all fun.
I keep watching Classic serials by Hon. Javed Akhtar and keep the notes of movie names. I have
purchased thousands of VCDs/DVDs for collection, Thanks to YouTube now, and other streaming
channels, movies are handy and can be watched any hour.
Movie script The Turning point (of a student)
http://www.slideshare.net/rrakhecha/movie-script-66389377
Also I prepared a presentation capturing my life, so that one can develop a biopic story and write
dialogues based on https://www.slideshare.net/rrakhecha/turning-point-lifestoryofastudentpart-1
I also spread the innovative idea of making movie by equity participation
https://www.slideshare.net/rrakhecha/movie-investmentequity
I also published a document – 100 movies to watch before you die categorizing the type of movie.
Just 100 movies list is not enough and expanded it including type and rating to 600 and later to 800.

I did like Rajesh Khanna however he could not maintain his gracefulness. He taught us how to retire
gracefullywhile onthe peakof success.Itwas an era of RajeshKhanna,whatthe deepemotionspoured
by simple act - Kab tutegi uske ghayal hoton ki khamoshi. Only Superstar of Indian Cinema Rajesh
Khanna The First Indian Super Star Will Remain in our HeartsForever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j92S2GOXLfE
Same thingisapplicable to Dev Anand, post Des-Pardes since 1978 to 2011 he kept producing films but
not at all intelligent, and up to the mark comparable closest to past. Even Gracefulness was not
observed. Whereas Dilip Kumar continued acting and delivering the best performances like Shakti.
Storyof Bollywoodcannotbe completedwithoutmentionmanygiants.Few giantswill alwaysremainas
giants and forever. Naming few will be insult to others. Ashok Kumar, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Dev
Anand, Raj Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Manoj Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar, Naseeruddin,
Irfan,NawazuddinSiddiqui,RishiKapoor, Anil Kapoor, Pran, Nutan, Vaijanti, Waheeda, Asha, Madhuri,
Sridevi,JayaPrada, Kareena, Alia Bhat, and many more in hundreds and thousands. It has tremendous
talentof story & dialogue writers like Saleem Javed, Music directors like Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Kalyanji-
Anandji, SD & RD, Lyricists Anand Bakshi, Majrooh, Pradeep, Singers like Kishor, Lataji, Rafi, Mukesh,
directorslike KAsif,Chetan Anand,Goldie,Hrishikeshda,Bimal Roy,SatyajitRay,Suraj Badjatya,Ramesh
Sippy,etcand manymanymore.Alsoevents have been brought to us by media like filmfare, madhuri,
rasrang, newspapaers, and now a days TV channels.
I mostlike the following top 18 movies, and amazed to see talent of each stake holder! Salute to all!
Its amazing to see thousands songs composed like Jaha dal dal par sone ki chidiya karati thi basera, or
kasme wade pyarwafa,Jindagi kaisi hai paheli , ye mere watan ke logo, waha kaun hai tera, mere desh
ki Dharati, kar chale ham fida, etc.
It is said that India is bound with two things Bollywood and Cricket, its absolutely true! Thank you
Bollywood for keeping me engaged and brining happiness & joy in my life!
Annexure – Remembering additional points
I faintlyremember,itmustbe between4:0 pmto 5:0 pm, I wasat saloonat Nandu barber, a first corner

We had Narayan Sindhi staying opposite to our house. He used to rent ground floor and lived on 1st
floor.He usedto had radioand playforentire dayand evening.There was a song played from pakeeza,
“inhi logone le linadupattamere”;I was all the while thinking this song must be played/ shot at police
station and a lady was complaining to police.
While Iwas at latrine,occasionally I used to compose a movie of 3 hours like List of name and credits –
10 minutes, 30 minutes –fightingscenes,8songsx 3 minutes = 24 minutes, rape scene – 5 -10 minutes,
car chase 15 minutes, etc
Anurag (72) – I remember Preeti Sudhaji m.s. chaturmas was at Jalgaon. She or her monk sister has
composed a song based on Sunari pawan..Bai & myself watched this movie at Shirpur.
At Shirpur we also used to get NEWS papers published from Dhulia and Jalgaon namely Aapla
Maharashtra, Jan Shakti. On last page there used to be advertisement of the movies shown in those
cities. The names of theatres at Jalgaon : Chitra, Natraj, Natwar, Rajkamal, Ashok, Shalimar ( I have
watched The burning Train after my IIT entrance exam). Advertisement of Mere Jeevan Saathi was
displayed. I checked the caste which was exactly like Haathi Mere Saathi. They wanted to encash
branding of it. When we visited Jalgaon for marriage of my cousin, they showed Rampur Ka Laxman
distributingpassestofewguests.I missed it. Later I watched it at Shirpur at 30 paisa. We used to count
number of murders in the movie.
I remember Natraj, Jyoti, Manohar, Alankar, Prakash, etc. I have watched Lashkar at Natraj alone,
Tarana with cousin Ashok at Prakash, and Pratighat with niece Smita. Natraj was 50 meters from my
brother-in-law.
Balak(69) : There wasa posture onwhichchildtakeshisshirtout and show a danger sign to train driver
walkingontrainroute and helpsdrivertostopthe train. I had fascination about train (particularly black
engine train running on coal). We students used to discuss the story extended from the posture. I did
not watch movie till date, but I may watch it in future to refresh the memories.
Jeene ki Raah (69) – A song was very famous among children since we used to correlate it. Aa Mere
Hamjoli AaperformedbyTanuja& Jeetendra in Jeene Ki Raah. It was based on hide & seek game. I did
not watch movie during childhood. Later I have VCD.
Anmol Moti (69) – Must
had been broadcast at
town by 1970, I

Jitendraridingelephant,
may be producer
wanted encashing love
about Haathi Mere
Saathi; I did not like
Babita then
Pehchan ( 1970) –
Watched it for a song
Aadmi hoo aadmi se
pyar karata hoo
Daag (1973) – I watched
it at Bhandari talkies,

was re-released during
79-81 period, I visited
ShirpurfromPune while

233
Mere Huzoor (68) – It was a first movie Myself and Chanchala watched. It was at
Yawatmal. We went to spend time outside house in the evening. It was an old
theatre. We neither enjoyed the movie having Urdu/ Muslim style and
environmentnorambience inthe theatre.Half-waythroughwe gotoutand went
to Jagat Temple. We were around it for few hours. Any reference comes on TV
channel, we keep remembering, smiling & laughing!
Pathhar aur Payal (74) : Hemaji has been termed as dreamgirl of Bollywood. I
remember when she was seen first time on screen while Dharmendra was
carrying his brother in forest, entire theatre audience shall be shouting and
dancing.
Bhai ho to aisa (72) : There wasa nice song, mentioning demands by fiancy. Also
a fight scene between Jitendra and Shatru used to be a topic of discussion
amongs students friends.
Pratigya(75) – I rememberpublic reaction while first time Hema Malini appears
on screen, it was forest she was passing by, Dharmendra requests her for a lift.
She was looking beautiful and stunning, wearing a goggle. It happened that my
brother & his friends also met me at theatre.
Geet (1970) – I do not remember if anyone was accompanying me! I liked a
movie and later did watch using DVD; a repeat song on various occasion was a
good idea! “ Aa ja tuzako pukare mere geet re mere meet re”
I watched Apna Desh in Dutt Talkies, remember various songs including “rona
kabhi nahi rona”, and a scene from song “duniya me logo ko” during which Om
Prakash lying on a table
Heera (1973) – A popular song mai Tuzase milane aayi mandir jaane ke bahane
was nice,we gotto know Sultanahmedproducessimilarfilmsondacoits,laterhe
produced Ganga ki Saughandh with Amitabh
Gora Aur Kala (1971) – I watched this movie after 2 neighbout acquantes were
talking about a scen where Rajendra Kumar massage Hema Malini saying,
“Rajendra Kumar ne kya maje liye hai”; curiousity and temptation of childhood!
Victoria No 203 (1971) – I watched accompanying my sister Kala. Remember
towel song of Saira Banu, and wonderful mischievous song of Ashok Kumar &
Pran. During climax during which exchange of diamonds were happening from
one hand to otherandguys were movingfromone spottoother usingironchain!

234
Parichay(1972) – My
brother suggested to
watch this movie, we
friends discussed about
the tricks played by
students like Candle on
moving tortoise during
night!
Aa Gale Lag Ja (73) – We
studentsusedto discuss
the scene the trick used
by doctor to make a
child walk.. “Aapne ye
nahi dekha ki aaj bacha
2 kadam chala”
Dharma (1973) – Hero of
the movie was a Pran! It
has wonderful Kawwali
which goes closely with
storyline; and exchange
of conversation to let
opponent know the
repercussion!
Zanjeer(1973) – It wasa
talk of town, concept of
while horse runningwas
liked by the audience,
movie gave an angry
young man to
Bollywood.
Yaadon Ki Baarat (1973) –Mainly there asa scene relatedtosignal to divert train,
change of track and how villain’s leg is caught, also nice story of lost & found
using a song Yaadon ki baarat nikali hai aaj! Today if I watch it again, I might not

inbulkand getthose filledatRs20 each. I have a huge collectionof these casettes however technology
progressingkilling many such businesses. There are no players now-a-days. We have multi-functional
player and Walkman too. However aging has damaged few cassettes.
Its worthmentioningfewmore songsimpressedandhave place inmybrain cells. My cousin had a radio
repair shop at nearby place. While I was in 9th

used to listen songs while around.

movement.

235
Prem Parbat (1973) : The story cannot be completed without mention of a beautiful song “Ye dil aur
unki, nighahoon ke saaye”. I searched for DVD/VCD, Youtube however unable to find a movie! (link :

Sultan & Satish Kaul)
Andaz (1971) – Re mama re mama re and Jindagi ek safar hai suhana
Pagla Kahin Ka (1970) - Tum muze you bhula na pawoge is surely very sensitive and emotional song. I
use it while sending resignation email.

 Mastana : Maine maa ko dekha hai
 Mai sundar hoo : Naach Meri Jaan Fataafat

nice emotional songs
Joru ka gulam: nainome nindiya hai..This song has a line “o kaun si jagah hai khali, o matwali mai kaha
rahunga” and as a child few friends have views about the same

shared within child friends guessing what it would be?
Chhoti bahu : Kanhaiyya kis ko kahega to maiyya; I watched this movie recently.

song from Mahal “aankho aankho me ham tum” belongs to movie Aankho Aankho me

Zanjeer : It has a song, banake kyo bighada re…upar wale; Since we used to stay 3rd
floor, my cousin
usedto call my momas Uparwale Mamiji;so mycousin added that word to this song; other songs were
also wonderful like Yaari hai iman mera yaar meri jindagi; and chakku chhuriya tej kara lo; few songs
earlier used to either define personalities (awara hu, sab kuch sika hamane, etc); or profession like
sharpening the knives, or selling coconut (Le lo re, le lo babu, pilo Nariyal pani - Apna Desh)

2.6 Dev Anand : A Yogi,a true followerof Bhagwat Gita
This is a story of 1972! I was living in a small town having 40,000 papulation then. I was 10 years old,
studyingin 5th std, had Annual English exam paper on Monday. I went to watch Johney mera naam on
Sundayevening,justadayahead.That wasa love about Dev Saab. He is and will remain role model for
energy,passionandparticularlyabilitytomove onevenafterfailure afterfailure.He stoodfirmly with a
head high. What an achievement! He always remained busy in work, thoughts, newer ideas and
passionate to take those to the audiences in form of movies. It was a series of success as a result of
great teamworkof Dev,Goldie,SD/RD,Fali Mistry,Shailendra/AnandBakshi/ Majrooh/ Neeraj etc. It is

239
bothinterestingandpainful tothink,whathappenedtothe team later? Leader keeps the team intact. I
followed him, almost all of his films & all the events later since last 45 years including Life time
achievement award, Dada Saheb Falake award and many others appearances on Radio, TV, NEWS
paper, magazine, wherever he was! What a stylish entry and receiving the award! It runs like a movie
the moment you try to remember about the scene.
My elderbrotherusedtocollectphotosof DevAnand.He usedto getweeklymagazine “Screen”, which
we usedto glance quicklyhidingitfromelderswithinfamily.Since spendingtoomuchtime onMovies is
supposed to be bad for the students of 5th
standard. That was my first meeting with Dev Saab.
Duringchildhoodas10 yearsold,I startedimitatinghis walking style, hair style, dressing, etc. We used
to requesttailortouse collarof JoshilaorHare Rama hare Krishna, anddemanda sister to pick up Rakhi
of label Hare Rama Hare Krishna..Myelderbrother used to get a weekly magazine Screen, we will look
for new releases of Dev Anand movie..and wait those to release..including Nawaw aur Sharab (later
changedto Shawabduringemergency),andAbmeri bari,Mr.John,etc.The Marathi magazine “Rasrang”
published while Nav Ketan was celebrating silver jubilee. I read and almost by heart every article
published,andrememberthe title of photos.We friends were so innocent to comment that he did not
want to reveal the crunches around neck so he is using scarf! Elders to comment that we knew more
than hiswife!We usedtobe around radiolisteningBinacaGeetmala,andcountinghow many songs out
of top16 songs belongstoDev Anand. We had radio advertisement byheart…Dharati ke upar baraf aur
baraf ke niche sona, kaun dundhega? Chhupa rustum!... We had in a town pan wala, having shop with
his photo and followed by name Anand Pan center! There was a debate comparing him with Amitabh
who was a greater star.
It was a time while songs of 5 movies were included in Binaca. Those were Sharif Badmaash, Banarasi
Babu, Chhupa Rustum, Heera Panna & Joshila.
I rememberIwasfast asleepinthe afternoon3:30 pmon Sunday.I heardDevAnand’s Jai Mala program
on radio. I wake up and ran to the radio. Everyone kept me watching!
As a child I went to sister’s home. It was a hobby – cum- habit to check the movie posture. I saw a
posture of Tere Mere Sapne! There used to be only 2 shows early days. I went on the same day for
evening 6:0 pm show. I was expecting a song “maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune”, I was that
young & small kid then.
Also sister had a record player holding the records in bundle and dropping one-by-one automatically.
She had HMV record of Johney Mera Naam. We kept playing the same songs for the entire day.
I usedto postquestions related to Dev Saab in Screen and often
those were published in Q & A column. I kept collecting photos
of Anandbrothers&family using Google, Facebook and Twitter.
Those are unique collection and in thousands. Those take me to
childhood too while I had seen a hard copy of those as a child.

As we grew,getto knowmore stories,made friends on Facebook who are fan following of Dev Saab. A
man havinggutsto loan60 lacs and produce Guide!We waitedforIshqIshqIshq,a grand projectbyDev
Saab, taking the unit for shooting using helicopter to the 13,000 ft height of Himalayan. He said, if you
fell you would enjoy a beautiful scene of Himalaya at 13,000 ft.
We also watched Waheedaji quoting conversion between Goldie and Dev
Dev Anand :No..No,I'll not do this,don't forget I'm Dev Anand
Goldie : Papa,aise nahi,plye aisa karana hai, pl listen to me

There were many articles written by Sheerish kanekar. I remember one of the articles read during
childhood. It quotes author wants to hit the girls of new generation who were laughing at the style of
DevAnand,and wantedtoquote that theirparentswhohaddouble the stomachand overweighedbody
had stoodinqueue towatch hismovies,andgatheredthe crowdat the theatres by bunking the college
& study.
“That was Dev Anand” Nice article http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sq0uj4
We spend time listening to radio show on youtube

Romancing with life…I read his autobiography multiple times. It remains at my bed side, and I keep
reading few pages every time. It is eazy to understand Dev Saab because of his honesty, transparency
and highenergy.He thinks and talk and act, all actions are synchronized. There is no manipulation. His
relationship with all co-stars was excellent. Take any example from Raj , Dilip, Manoj Kumar, Pran,
Premnath,Dharmendra,etc;Alsothe relationship with business partners was smooth. Dev Saab never
adamanton moneymatters.He was the highestpaid actor during sixties and second highest paid actor
inseventies.He signedJohneymeranaamonwhatevercapacityGulshanRai had to pay at that time. He
valuedrelationshipmore thanmoney.He treatedhislady co-stars with at most dignity and respect like
Madhubala, Waheeda, Nutan, Asha, Hema, Mumtaz, etc. Dev Saab was respected among the political
circle as well from Nehruji, to Indira and then Atalji and Pranav da too.
He wasa greatactor, not onlyJewel thief, Tere mere sapne,Johneymeranaambutevenearlierreleases
Sharabi, Manzil, Dushman, etc. His acting delivered from the heart, passionately, with so much
involvement. His expertise in acting was so huge, he just had to stand in front of camera and do the
things.
Dev Saab was eazy going in communication and never had burden of the person standing opposite to
him. During NDTV show he asked Pranav Da, did he watch his movie? Pranav da thrashed & tried to
answer without confidence. “Don’t lie Paranv da” said Dev Saab. Pranav Da was president then. It was
that eazy for Dev Saab!
One sure thingkeepsme amazingisthe relationship between three brothers. What a respect they had
about each other! Everyone is equally talented! They grew watching and taking whatever from each
other. Everyone was down to earth, and equally polite in nature, always ready to speak on phone or
meet in person! That’s the sign of great achievers.
And…One day thoughts poped up of “doing it my style, my way!”. And that proved to be a bad dream!
There wasno secondthoughtperhaps,or introspection, am I that good? Freedom of “doing it my way”
wonoverintellect.He wantedtodirectthe films.He starteddirectingfilmwithPremPujari in 1970, was
pityto see waste of nice concept,story,lyrics,songsandmusic.What wouldhave Goldie felt?Goldiedid
say,“kya filmbanai”!Downfall obviously started. Since Navketan’s foundation was so strong, it had to
sustainforfewyearsand itdid. Des-Pardes was a last successful movie released in 1978! That’s it. Too
much involvedinself,Self-centricpersonalitydoesnotintrospect.Hisenergylevelswere sohigh,he had
no time to think and to choose the best talent and utilize. That’s the reason post 1978 his fans saw no
great movie.To the extend Charge sheet in Pune had only one show and one person as an audience :(
Was he the same person who produced Guide? Has he produced Gangster? It was a complete mental
deterioration. It was 33 years of unstoppable efforts of making films, post 1978 he kept producing

241
movies,unfortunatelynotclose bystandardof NavKetanandfinallyaudience startedmakingfunof him.
He did not realise.
While we observe the life of DilipKumar, he was selective about the role and stake holders of a movie
like story,screenplay,director,producer,etc.Atthe fagend,DilipKumarpouredhislifetime experience
into acting and gave us movie like Shakti. That start of career for of both was almost same years 1944
and 1946. The success story did keep rising for both. DilipKumar gave Mugal-E-Aazam, while Dev Saab
gave us Guide! Dilip Kumar also gave Madhumati, Naya Daur, Ganga Jamuna, & Ram aur Sham like
successful movies where as Kala pani, Hum Dono, Jewel Thief and Johney Mera naam to the credit of
Dev Saab. But graph for Dilip Kumar continued upward giving the hit & sensible movies like Kranti,
Shakti, Saudagar, Karma, etc; unfortunately success story started falling for Dev saab, who offered us
Ganster, Mr. Prime minister and Charge sheet!
Grand personality: We salute you Dev Saab for entertaining years, with great music, songs, acting and
movies.Criticsandaudienceshave frequentlyregardedAnandasone of Bollywood's definitive Leading
Men: Charismatic,Debonaire,Urban,Handsome andCharming.DevSaabwastitledas Mr. Evergreen by
film critics and analysts. He is remembered as an energetic person, throughout the Industry.
 Charismatic pleasant personality, always smiling and happy!
 Extra ordinary energetic personality on the earth!
 Failures did not bother him, he always moved on.
 Had guts to take risk and produce movie like Guide! Even after +50 years one cannot believe
that movie like Guide can be made in India!
 One of the finest actors in Bollywood, so eaze at acting! He could stand in front of camera
anytime & act!
 He surelymade mistake tobe director!Didavoidanalysingthe reasonfor failure and correcting
those.
 He valuedrelationshipmore thanmoneysofriendlywithall.He alwaysmaintained the connect
and good relationship with many in various domains.

242
 He wasa greatachieversodidnot had ego.He was eazy in communication, most simple living,
entertained anyone approaching, and however liked the praise! And that’s THE Dev Anand!
 He wasemotional too,weptwhilealone,remembering the closest brothers Chetan and Goldie
post their demise! Felt bad about divorce of daughter Devina, but learnt to absorb the shocks
and moved on.
 True Yogi, true follower of Bhagwat Gita!
While we cannot compare success story of Dilipkumar & Devanand, both are giants! Dilipkumar
continued with very mature roles & acting even at fag end.Where as Dev had bad movies post 1978!
It is great to have born in a generation and watch the work of Dev Saab, Goldie, Lataji, Kishorda,
Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Naranyan Murthy, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendularkar, Atalji, and Manmohan
Singh and many many other giants!

Stories which have developed a firm believes of life and death, making me a strong person
An author would like to share below stories which his father used to share on many occasions. These
have created permanent impression on his mind and helped to be a strong person.
Once god Vishnu(Godof governance),Yamraj (Godwhomanagesdeath) were movingaroundtogether.
Theysaw a sparrowsittingnext.GodVishnusmiledlookingatit.Sparrow suddenlydevelopedacomplex
that god Vishnu and Yamraj looked at it and smiled so there must be some reason. May be its death
appearsclose.She wasworriedandwentto eagle requestingtotake itfar awayfrom bothof them, may
be crossing 7 oceans long distance. Eagle agreed happily. Sparrow sat on the shoulder of Eagle. Eagle
flew her to far distance as per its request.
Moment they landed across seven seas, sparrow dies. Eagle was surprised.
Yamraj wonthe bet withVishnu.While God Vishnu saw sparrow just next to him, and as per Yamraj its
deathwas plannedinfewminutesandthattoo at a longdistance after seven oceans, he had a bet with
Yamraj sayingitwas justimpossible.Sparrow cannotreachinfew minutessuchalongdistance whereas
Yamraj wasso sure about location and time of death. He won the bet. So never be afraid of the death.
It’s inevitable, cause, time & location of the death is fixed.
Celebrate the deathif youhave enjoyedyourlife.Inanycase you have no option to deviate a second or
by millimeter. Even Lord Mahavir could not change it on request of Gautama. My uncle was diabetes
and myaunt was worried.He usedtosay always,take 50 paisa fromhimand watch the movie Anand by
Hrishikesh Mukherjee. What a spectacular representation of the death it has captured!
Second story which has impact me is:
A touristvisitsaJainMonk and wasastonishedtosee thatthe roomof the Monk wasverysimple having
a mat and wooden pots.
Tourist: Where are your furniture and household things?
Monk: Where is yours?
Tourist: Mine? But I’m only a visitor here.
Monk: So am I!
What simplicity in conveying a philosophy which is larger than the life
