I'm back
Thursday, December 29, 2005
I'm back to Pune after a stay of 4 days at home. The journey to Latur was very tiresome and not at all good. It took 14 hours to complete the normally 7 hours journey. Anyways, as now I'm back, the blog updation restarts now...
Keep supporting me as usual.

Mamma, I'm coming home...!!!
Saturday, December 24, 2005
After three long months, finally I'm going home. I'm going to Latur. I'm going to meet my parents. Going to meet didi who is coming to from Jalna to meet me. I'm going to meet little Aditya, Rutuja and Rishikesh (My nephews). It was September when I last visited home. Lot of things happened after that. There were my Navratri fasts (9 days without bed, food and footwears). Then there was Diwali and this was my first Diwali without my family. Then there were my exams and seminar.
During all these time, I missed my family too much. There were lot of bad things in my life after September and I always wanted to cry with mamma. I always thought she is the only one who could have figured out my sorrows, my problems and definitely would have helped me out.
I miss playing with Aditya. How he calls me "Chachu" or "Dinesh". Yes, he calls me by name and I love it. I miss all those days I spend at home. And I miss my family.
I miss didi. I remember how I cried in the bus after her marriage. I couldn't attend her Bidaai as I had to attend my exams. But, whenever I see that video, I can't resist myself from crying.
Today, I'm felling too glad that I'm going home. I will meet my family after long time. Last year, I went home on 21st December. Here is the post of last year.
BTW, won't be posting for 3 days. So, here is wishing you all Merry Christmas.

Another Maharashtrian makes it big
Friday, December 16, 2005
After Harshwardhan Nawathe (First Crorepati) and Abhijeet Sawant (Indian Idol), now Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar made it big in the Indian Reality show "Nach Baliye".
Seems the shows are too fond of Maharashtrians or is it that Maharashtrians are habituated to win..!!!
Whatever the case may be, we'll have to congratulate them. Well done Sachin and Supriya. I'm proud of you...
Accessing Private Members in C++

Indian MPs for sale
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
One more sting operation. Few more got caught. But is that all? No. Its just the tip of iceberg. There is lot more to come out.
One more sting operation --> Few more suspended from party --> One more enquiry comission will be put up --> Few days the enquiry "I-am-doing-serious-investgation" Drama will go on --> Everyone will forget about the issue. By the time the enquiry comission report will be out, even the comission people won't remember what was the comission for..
Whatever may be the things, we have to congratulate AAj Tak and Cobrapost for showing the guts to take risk and get these politicians cost.
Btw, did all the politicians who were offered bribe accpeted it, or were there some who rejected the bribe? It'll be interesting to know.

Latur on Wikipedia

I was just surfing through wikipedia when I thought to check out what they have to say about Latur. To my surprise, someone has put up a note about Latur blog which has been recently started. Even more surprising was that person had even specified my name there.
Thanks man, whoever has put-up this.
Don't mess with MEN
Few days I posted something about woman. The men are also dangerous to handle sometimes..
An American soldier was deported to Iraq and after being there for a
while he received a long awaited letter from his girlfriend back home, which
reads:
Dear Ricky,
I can no longer accept our relationship. The distance between us is drifting us apart. I have to admit that I have already betrayed you twice, which is not fair
for either one of us. I am sorry and I hope that you will forgive me and send me back my picture, which you always carry around.
Kisses,
Becky.
The soldier, feeling offended and hurt, asks his friends in the army to all lend him as many pictures they have of girlfriends, mothers, sisters, female cousins, etc... He gathers 57 pictures, which he places in an envelope and writes the following note:
Dear Becky,
I am sorry but I could not remember who exactly you are. So could you please be an angel and pick up your picture from among the rest and send them back to me?!
Good luck,
Ricky

First Computer Crime
Monday, December 05, 2005
Here is a paragraph from our ISS book. Found it interesting so sharing with you.
It is difficult to determine when the first computer crime involving a computer actally occured. The computer has been around in some form since the abacus, which is known to have existed way back to 3500 B.C. In Japan, China and India. In 1801, profit motives encouraged Joseph Jacquard, a textile manufacturer in France, to design the forerunner of the computer card. This device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in the weaving of special fabrics. So concerened were Jacquard's employees with the threat to their traditional employment and livelihood that act of sabotage were committed to discourage Mr. Jacquard from further use of the new technology. A computer crime had been committed.

1 day without mobile !!!
Sunday, December 04, 2005
Today, I had to spend one whole day without my mobile.. It meant no incoming, no outgoing, no outgoing SMS, and most of all no GPRS (read as no gmail).
Actually, I had lot of balance but no validity :-( And my ATM machine refused to give any money.. Seems this ATM is working just like our MLAs. Most of the time busy fighting with themselves rather than solving our problems. I tried 4 times in last 2 days thinking to recharge before validity ends.
Finally at night when it was unbearable, I called up Dhiraj and asked him to recharge my cell..
Now, its working and I'm typing this post in Gmail compose window, THANX TO DHIRAJ !!!

Now let's accept homosexuality and pre-maritual sex !!!
Friday, December 02, 2005
Now that government has accepted the kissing scenes in movies, hope they will accept other facts of life. I'm refering 1 day old decision of Supreme Court that Homosexuality will not be allowed in India. Come on guys, grow up! Its a way of living for some people and you must accept that. Just having a ban on it won't change people mindset. Those who like it, will have it. You can't stop them. Also premaritual sex does happen in India. Just the thing is people don't talk about it. That is shown in movies for quite a long time. May it be Kya Kehna or Salaam Namaste. If it is shown for so long in movies and Ekta Kapoor serials (which are seen by 80% of housewives in cities), and if they don't feel offended while watching on TV, why do they feel offended when Saundarya Khushboo or Sania talks about it? I hate this mentality of Indians..

Go ahead ! Kiss your girl !!
Just heared on telivision that there will be no objection on kissing
scenes in movies. This announcement came from Information and
Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunshi.
This news implies that somewhere down the line, we are accepting the
fact. Everything is part and parcel of life (This phrase I've picked
up from my very good friend Soni Singh). Coming back to point, in
every love relationship, kiss plays a vital role and we've to accept
it. Its just a hug and kiss with which you show your lover how much
you love and care.
People should grow up and see at this feeling with a broad point of view.
Hats off to Mr. Minister for this decision !
Btw, I had previously posted about the importance of first kiss in
romantic relatioship, but can't provide the link as I'm posting from
my cell..

Citizen Power Saves Hills
Wednesday, November 30, 2005
That was the headline in today’s “Pune Newsline”..
The news says
The hills have been saved for, after relentless pressure from Pune’s citizens, the Pune Municipal Corporation General Body scrapped moves to allow 4 per cent construction and instead ensured that the land earmarked for a Bio-Diversity Park (BDP) stays unsullied.
The news further says
As for protecting river and water bodies, there’s good news too. A 36 metre river protection green belt is to be designed on both banks and 7.5 metres along the banks of all streams and nallahs will be declared as green belts.
This was in response to the Green Pune Movement’s Peaceful Rally on November 27th, 2005. Once again Punekars have proved that “Citizen Power” is the highest power in Indian Democracy.
Congratulations all you Punekars..

Personalities from Latur
Tuesday, November 29, 2005
There have been many prominent personalities from Latur city and district.. Few of them are shown in the picture.. What I want to discuss is, has their presence really helped Latur?
Politicians have helped Latur to grow as a city.. Vishwanathji Karad helped the Education sector grow..
But in the presence of Politicians and movie stars, other personalities always stayed hidden.. Like Arjun Award winner Kaka Pawar, "Rustum-E-Hind" Harishchandra Birajdar, Pakhwaj player Apegaokar and many more..
How many of us know that 1998 Arjun Award winner was from Latur? Or Harishchandra Birajdar is considered as one of the best wrestling coach..
Well, you might also be knowing few other prominent personalities from Latur.. Do post their information so that the world will come to know about them..

Green Pune Movement
Sunday, November 27, 2005
Green Pune Movement organised a peaceful protest march at Alka Talkies Square on November 27. The march was to appeal for saving the hills and developent of Bio-Diversity Park.
These are the words of organisers of this protest march
Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) took a monumental step towards ensuring a sustainable future for Pune for the next quarter century and beyond on 21 March 2005 when it approved a Pune city Biodiversity Park on designated hillsides throughout the city, green areas along the banks of the rivers, etc. The Planning Committee newly set up to review the DP has now recommended a floor space index (FSI) of 4 per cent on hill slopes/ hill tops and complete scrapping of the bio-diversity park. The Planning Committee further recommends that farmhouses and educational institutions should be permitted to avail of the 4 % FSI. The FSI would then rise to 25 to 30 % if areas required for roads and other facilities is taken into account.
The public representatives cry hoarse to convince us that they would do anything in the interest of Punekars. However, their stand on indirectly granting huge FSI and scrapping of the Biodiversity Park exposes the depths to which they would go to please the ‘builders lobby’.
Around 500 Punekars and 50 organisations actively participated in this Protest March. Also these citizens filled up the protest form..
You can also help by filling up this protest form. The protest form can be filled at here . You can also download and distribute the flier of the movement from here . Come forward..
Save our Hills !
Save our city !
Save yourselves !!

Happy B'day Ashish
Friday, November 25, 2005
Yesterday, I was at Ashish Kala's place to celebrate his B'day. Well, let me tell you something about this guy. Ashish is my Childhood friend (From 6th standard). We used to study together in HSC, then for IIIT studies and then First Year of Engineering. He is now in DY Patil Engg College doing Final Year, Civil. I've shared almost each of my secret with him and he is the guy on whom I always rely whenever I face any problem.
Here are few snaps of his B'day celebration.

Narayaneshwar Temple, Narayanpur
On Sunday, 20th November; I visited Narayanpur along with Dhiraj and Seema. The Narayaneshwar temple and Dattatraya Temple at Narayanpur are indeed very beautiful. Though our main plan was to visit Balaji Temple near this village, we had to shift our plan due to excess rush at the Balaji Temple.
The Narayaneshwar temple seems to be around 700 years old. The sculptures in the temple are said to be of Yadav Era. Most of the Art on walls and doors has been ruined, probably during some Muslim attacks.
Narayaneshwar is the village of Saint Changdev. The Dattatray Temple in the village (which is next to the Narayaneshwar Temple)is very beautiful. Pilgrims come here to worship the Auspicious Audambar Tree.
Here are few snaps of this tour.
Ruined Sculptures on the door of Narayaneshwar Temple
