Happy new year...2015

Today is last day of the year...2014. It is time to take review of passing year and plan for new one. When I was child, for me new year was just a party, when all members of our joint family use to sit and eat together and enjoy programs on TV. Those were very much enjoyable, memorable days. But now, whole family is dispersed at various places around the globe. In recent years, like many others, I have started to take review and make new resolutions on 31st December. 

Some years are remarkable in our life which we don't forget. Some years are general when we just live routine life. For me this year was special, different. 

In 2014, I joined the new job, new role, at new location. I dared to break my comfort zone, disturb my settled life, and take new challenge. It was not easy decision for me. But I am very thankful to my wife for her constant support. I visited many new places this year. I learned from and made friendship with, many new people.  I crossed Indian shores for the first time to see the world outside. I realized where I stand, this will help me to fix and reach my career goals in future. In 2015, I plan to develop new qualities in myself which I will need for work.

On health front, in 2014, I did very less. In earlier years, I use to do regular exercise which I skipped completely in 2014. So obvious resolution for new year is to do regular exercise. Probably this is the most common resolution across the world. 

In 2014, I started following some good blogs. Reading these blogs helped to understand various approaches people take in their life. I also started writing on this blog. I found some readers across the world. I hope to continue on this in 2015. I also plan to start new endeavors in 2015. I will disclose them as I do it.

Recently I realized that, I read very less. I am talking about books, literature here. I generally read, news, or some financial or political articles, or some blogs. But, so much good literature that is available, is just ignored by me so far. So in new year, I will start reading some books in my leisure time.  

In new year, I also plan to find some time for hobbies like cooking, music. I need to develop some social skills, to open up more in social life. Well, there are lot of things to do. Many new resolutions are in pipe.:)  I hope I will be able to work on all my resolutions, so do you all, on yours.

I wish you all very happy and prosperous new year. Enjoy your evening.

Reality of Real Estate in India

Now days I do not happen to read news paper daily. Sometimes on weekends I get chance to read news papers. But, one thing I have noticed that first page or cover page, a page above front page which is full of property advertisement is reaching each home everyday. They have 1 BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK flats, row houses, farm houses, farm lands, and NA plots advertisement. Now days customers have hundreds of options. They have various budgets from so called cheap flats to luxurious flats with high budgets. They provide so many amenities. It’s a matter of research how many amenities are really needed and are used. They are present just as status symbols. People are paying so much money extra for these unused facilities.  I want to put my views here about whole real estate industry in India. Home is COSTLY (?) In India all businesses, industries, jobs are concentrated to few particular cities. I feel this is done deliberately to force people to stay, gather at one place. It is wel...

Here and There

There are many beggars in India. They are everywhere. In cities, villages, at Railway station, temples, bus stops, at signals. I heard in Mumbai there are beggars who are even millionaire. But, when they ask money to me, I am always confused, to give or to avoid. Sometimes I feel they are poor and I should give some money and sometime I feel by giving money I am encouraging this act. And I don't want to encourage it. So, its unending confusion to me. At the same time I always try to judge them if he/she is really in need. I try to see, can they earn money by working somewhere or they are just lazy and looking for easy begging money. But sometime I feel very sad to see small kids begging for money, or a lady standing in rain or in hot sun by holding a small pale kid. I feel so sad, frustrated and helpless on the condition of these people that many times I end up in tears. But, I still avoid paying money since I don't want to encour...

Holika Dhahan

There is March already, we have some festival coming in next few days. Today here at Maharastra we celebrate a festival "Holika". And tomorrow it is Festival of Holi (Festival of colors). Although Holi is becoming very popular festival internationally and many people visit India just to enjoy holi, this post is not about Holi but its about Holika. Note the difference in the name. I feel that all Indian festivals are designed so that people in society should gather and mix up with each other.  Good news is its holiday tomorrow and its a long weekend. After long time I will be celebrating Holika. It is very interesting festival. Like all other Hindu festivals, it is about victory of good over bad. This time it is about victory of good within over the evil within us. On internet there are many stories how Holika started and so I will not discuss it here. Indians believe that fire is pure. It burns evil and what remains is pure. Anything that survives fire is pure. W...
