When is Father's Day ?

I think, Father's Day can be every day. It is a bit naive to have a day dedicated to celebrate the bond, when you can celebrate it whenever you want. But on the other hand, this day reinforces us the importance of having a 'role-model' in our lives and relive the memories we have with our Fathers', even for a single day, if it has to be that way.

Keeping all things same, more than anything else, I will strive hard to develop an environment where my kids can express anything & everything under the sun without any guilt, suspicion and fear, which I presume, majority of our present generation didn't had that liberty.

No matter what happens, at the end of the day they can always come back to me. That, life is eventually going to kill you but what really matters are the moments that will take your breath away. And, whenever they feel tired and defeated with no hope left, I hope that they look at their 'father' and start over again. For the moment, I aspire to teach these thoughts to my kids.

The relationship and chemistry a father has with his kids is ever evolving, every generation. On the eve of Father's Day, we can remember how different it was for us and realize the ability each one of has to keep this relationship evolving and making it further better for the coming generations.

Not simply today, but every single day. A chance to make things better.

Happy Father's Day 😊

Caste Away ::

WE MATCH BETTER screams the JEEVAN SATHI.COM websites punchline.. But WE MATCH BETTER on basis of what? This question has provided a reality check? WE MATCH BETTER on basis of religion, caste, mother tongue etc. Match making has always been a big business idea in our country which is so PRE OCCUPIED with marriage. With over 5 million Indians finding their prospective partners through this medium, matrimonial websites are doing brisk business in their own right. A preliminary visit to this website confirms this reality. Anybody looking for information on castes, sub castes, gothram, nakshatra etc are just a mouse click away. If caste is becoming so irrelevant, as some metropolitan urbanites want us to believe, then why don’t these sites reflect this trend? Why don’t these sites completely give away with the caste and religion column and give more impetus on Ideology, education, attitude and overall personality. This unquestioning acceptance of the traditions, which painfully ...

An ENIGMA called pArEnTs !

For me and my own image as one of the boys, it has been a fulfilling experience so far. I have been extremely lucky to be born in the family which I am now. My class- which tells me and more often reminds me the expectations that society around me has. A sacred pact- that tells me, that I can have a house, a car, access to higher education, good meals, a warm bed to sleep on with- it is something that more than half of the population can only dream of. In return, I have to behave myself, act like what my parents wants, constantly think about the societal pressures, pretend that I have no desires, can’t smoke and drink at my own will, can't even be seen buying them, can’t decide which higher education to go for, cant fall in love with a female from a different community and can’t live and enjoy life on my own terms. This wonderful symbiosis is well explained by my upper middle class parents. Any threat to their respect and status in the society is seriously taken. And when things go...

Democracy is slowly turning in to a Mockery !

Something’s gone horribly wrong with Maharashtra. Don’t look at the shining malls, multi crore airports, fancy cars launched almost every day- The real Maharashtra bravely survives on a BARE MINIMUM. The stinky slums, over populated urban clusters, overcrowded local trains, pot holed roads, poor infrastructure, pathetic urban planning,neglected villages,shocking cases of farmer suicides, long hours of power cut, the ever widening gap between the rich and the poor and desperate faces with HOPE amidst corruption and complete indifference towards people. The entire script of the state has turned in to FARCE. In the last 2 decades, successive governments got ample opportunities to bring about the CHANGE, to make growth happen, to transform the lives of people who live in SUB HUMAN conditions. But did any political party measured up to their expectations? The answer, I am afraid, is NO. In the last 60 years every political party has enjoyed POWER and every WORTHLESS person...
