Vipul Salunkhe ... The actor in short film CHAAHAT...

Friends,

    I just saw this short film of Vipul salunkhe which I have 

shared on my profile ! Very subtle treatment , he actually 

lives the character he plays which I understood as a teenager 

who may have some fear complex ....rest you must see 

...Vipul its an achievement!! you have tried this kind of a 

character when you are supposed to be thought of perfect in 

the typical chocolate hero roles and yet ....you have done 

absolute justice to the role so much that I could not identify 

you when the film began and I feel you have pulled down and 

shed many calories to live this role....Nice to have such talent 

in my neighborhood :) and You have a bright future tapping 

at your doors !!!.

Gentlemen you must really think !

Oxygen, water, and food.....think guys do we get fresh air daily? yes we do, or no we don't ? So what are we going to do about it ? We know what trees give us shade, wood and leaves flowers, fruits, bark and much more ?They purify the air, absorb carbon dioxide, right ? ? Then before rainy season starts, why does each society, start chooping branches and felling trees? One answer I can't see what my neighbour does at 6.30 or I cant wave hi to my best friend in so and so building ? Each house has school going students!! Each person knows what is good about planting trees... but when people come to chop them... just me and papa feel bad and since he is old he just chooses to keep quiet because the young boys there start screeming or arguing... There was a neighbour ...He has planted some trees, the whole society fights with him, just because he does not allow any one to touch them. Every one wants to see out of his balcony and the trees and their height are a natural hurdle so what ?Lets chop them. Once quietly... one tree, (which was going to be a future target) was struck at many places, so that it would seem that it is dangerous and it should be eventually cut down. However, many people knew it, but poor tree it was struck with an axe at so many vital  places, so that one day the wounded thing, fell on a two wheeler Lo and behold !! People got a chance to point fingers and fight See!! WE SHOULD HAVE CHOPPED IT LONG BACK!!!  What I wonder... are we blind to what is happening around ? Our basic need oxygen!! and purification of the sorrounding polluted air is done.. naturally by trees and we are so carelessly still chopping or cutting them and we say we are educated ???? No we are not then we are literate only are we not ?

Water...there are people who keep their sintex tank valvess open at night and after water supply resumes, when all are sound asleep buckets and buckets of clean/fresh water is heard yes heard.. flowing or gushing down the tanks for 20 minutes in many compounds and we read that there are places without clean water, provided or enough water supply or very little water or dirty water etc.. supplied etc ....Now what we do is, we close the tank at night and when we see supply is on we then open the tank, when the level rises we close it before it overflows Guys please do the same... :)

Food.... I was going to a school which was an international school. Such and other schools have very high fees and good nutritious lunch provided and fresh juices given with extra helpings generously provided/served /offered whatever ... Good! excellent! fantastic! but, but, but,......Many a time, Each child eats hardly a portion of whatever is served or given to drink... Result !!! a steel drum full of food is wasted which is three forth of the food which each child has been served with by the person in charge..When will this stop?why do we think that if I have wasted food, it is a part of my fees paid, so it is quite okay if I do so....Dear Children!!.. fasting is good.. but also taking  only that amount or quantity of food, you think you require,need or can finish from your dish is better is it not ?

This was just an observation Friends... please be thankful to mother earth... She is kind and we must be kind to her inseparable friends.. Trees, flowers, water resources and try to make our sorroundings like picnic spots... by preserving them.. encouraging beds of pastures, flower beds , planting tulsi saplings, utilising empty space and developing gardens, watering plants in turns,etc. We cut all the plants and trees around to park vehicles many times whereas provision for parking and paid parking can be in the building plan initially, rather than unauthorised or unorganised parking here and there... and then felling trees to create spaceand more space...We dont think let us make a garden in whatever space we have,and we take our kids to public gardens. Why don't we create some ? Stop felling the sorrounding trees, wasting water and then going to far of places.. to look for trees and natural waterfalls etc. Take an oath... I will plant trees and protect each and every tree around me .Unless it is absolutely neccessary trees won't be cut or even chopped and we go to some state and take photos of a thousand year old tree. Poor tree... does it hit you, tease you, bite you, abuse you or even stop you when you cut it?It is silently watching and taking the pain, all the time and yet it grows again and again after every chopping round and continues its duty without any fees or taxes to still purify the air around it. I think chopping trees is violence too A tree breathes.. does it not ? and what else does it do ? Leaves absorb carbon dioxide and give away oxygen...

Well OH man !!  Here is one way of being kind and acquiring punya in chaturmasa and actually all your life. Atleast refrain from causing harm to a plant, sapling or poor quiet selfless TREE :)

Guide

My Friend Yogesh Vaidya ,who is like an elder brother to me, has guided and corrected me,

 I remember boring him with my poems.  HE from time to time, even told me, what should

 be the do's and don'ts of poetry 'Tawa kaawya wachatana' was my expression on reading 

his poems, which are lovely in metre.... but humble person as he is he says "well am not so 

great..... but he has inspired me a lot and will always I have changed a lot... but he has 

been, the same simple, humble, nice person, to me. Here, I wish to thank him, from my 

heart. I did not have a Guru in poetry as such... but yes when I think of one, it has to be 

him. He makes every one feel, comfortable and so does wahini! may god bless them all

A Salute

A salute to our great musicians singers or Vocalists.

Yes we were bowing to the,m laying carpets when they were about to step in.....

and Now we are watching their silence , tip toes,...sighs...are we ??

No am sorry to say we are not ....

since we are all busy ...and we have lots of things to pay attention too...

why am I writing this ?

recently I heard one really old vocalist is having a difficult times fighting with his past glory

tapping still on the walls of memory while he hardly is able to

listen to the tanpoora tunefully reverberating the raga tunes over tones choose what you like...

and SAD he has lost his singing voice too....:(

He has a family to support which he moderately is able to...

I have hummed couple of his bundishes via a friend who happens to be his disciple..

I wish to do the following, to start this chain, of passing our thanks, to HIM ....

the wonderful musical waves of this

musicians vocal expertise, that continue to peep in our memory lanes....

So I wish to hold sessions of imparting thumari bundishes in two hour in a daily session

and artist/tutor would be singing honarary...

whereas the fees charged would be collected and handed over as a humble thanks to THIS ARTIST....

another plan is a Autobiographical lecture on an artist and performance which would be

focused on the style of the above mentioned artist....

Details would be furnished in advance to those interested in being a part of this movement...

Thanks

Lotus slowly blossomed from bud to what you see

With our Guru Sushri Girija Devi
