1. 30 / My Life Philosophy
Few words………….
When I retrospect on my Life as on date, as to what I have achieved in Life?, What sacrifices I
made to achieve something in Life?, What I could not achieve?, Why I could not achieve? etc.,
the first thing I realized was that, that I have led a Balanced Life. I followed certain
principles in my Life which enabled me to achieve balanced success in Life. I am sure that
whosoever tries to follow the same can also make his Life happy.
I inherited these principles from my late father. You are aware that the Web site titled
‘www.Spandane.com’ was dedicated to my Late Father who expired at the age of 58 years
after fighting with Diabetes for over 35 years. Although his Life span was quantified by
destiny, he led very cheerful life and remained active till his death. He managed his stress by
keeping himself occupied in some activity or the other. He was true ‘Karma Yogi’. His Life
Philosophy still inspires & offers solution to me in case of need.
Your Life should be like a square meal. Your destination of ‘Happiness’ in Life will be your
mind itself if you can manage to keep balance between your educational/occupational career,
family, health and friendship.
The word ‘Spandane’ means ‘Vibrations of mind.’ At times it is difficult to express this
feeling in words. However, I have made an attempt in the book titled ‘Spandane’ (written in
Marathi - English) to express my Life philosophy which matured over years of my
experience and my perception of this world.
My habit of expressing these vibrations in Articles, Photography, compiling Slide shows etc.
enabled me to enjoy my occupational and professional career.
