अति हुशार माणसे जरा व्हिम्झीकल - सर्किट असतात.
हां, आता अती हुशार (हुश्शार नव्हे) कोण?, हा एक वादाचा - संशोघनाचा विषय आहे.
अँकँडमिक प्रावीण्य मिळवलेले लोक्स, कुशाग्र - तल्लख बुध्दि जन्मजात असलेले लोक्स, स्व:कष्टाने प्राप्त केलेला किंवा आपल्या अक्कलहुशारीने वाढवलेला पैसा - श्रीमंती गाठलेले लोक्स, बोलाचीच कढी आणि बोलाचाच भात (!) असलेले लोक्स, का खरेखूरे सटकी/सणकी/चक्रम/कधी काय करतील-बोलतील याची गँरेंटी नसलेले लोक्स?!!
अशा लोक्स (!) च्या बरोबर काम करायचं किंवा अशा लोक्स (!) च्या बरोबर डिल करणं हे एक वेगळेच स्किल आहे!
~ म्हणलं तर मजा, म्हटलं तर सजा आहे.
~ काही वेळा जुलमाचा रामराम आहे.
~ थोडी खुशी थोडा गम (दु:ख वा गोंद! पण) आहे.
~ धरलं तर चावतं, सोडलं तर पळतं, आहे.
सारांश काय तर - एक अपरिहार्य, व आविभाज्य घटक आहे!!

Many people around the world celebrate Halloween, which occurs annually on October 31. It is the day before All Saint's Day and is also sometimes called All Hallows’ Eve and Hallowmas Eve.
A Halloween date marks the start of winter and the new year. It was believed that the spirits of the dead could return to the earth around this time. It's to pray for the dead and honour the saints.
Costume parties are held where people dress as witches, ghosts, and animal figures associated with Halloween, or as fictitious characters from horror films, television shows or books. Costume parties are often held at people’s homes, a hired venue, or venues that are supposedly haunted.
It has made small noticeable inroads in India, this time. I have come across people who have arranged such parties today. Some have, even changed their Facebook profile pic or Whatsapp DP accordingly!
It's one more Classic example of cultural invasion of the West. @fter 31st December's new year's celebrations, Father's/Mother's Day, and more dominantly a Valentine Day, Western culture is getting popular in youths here!
Everyone yearns for something newer n neo occassions for enjoyment, a welcome break from daily boring drill-routine!
But still. Our own desi festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, Padva, Holi, Makar Sankrant, Dahi Handi, Ganapati, etc beware.

Mumbai - Pune (etc) based (!) NRI parents and their US - Canada - Singapore - UK (etc) based NRI children, student turned employees!
Parents have had worked hard to ensure proper upbringing n education of their wards. The higher education in a foreign country beckons most of the Engineering (predominantly) n other students, after graduation. Good! Thereafter comes, in most of the cases, education loan. The children are ready to fly by wings. And rightly so. A one or two years Masters degree or a five years comprehensive, Masters plus PHD. And thus the dilemma starts. Such India based NRI parents start feeling a void, a vacuum. And if there is ONLY one child, the loneliness is more so. What to do? Motive? Purpose? Then, they try to get involved in some socio-cultural activities. Or just while away their time doing routine work, chatting on Whatsapp/Skype and Facebook at pre-defined times!
For the children landed in a foreign country, it's not an easy going, either. A complete different culture. Studies. Self service. New Indian buddies. Usually close friendship happens between the 'intruders' from same country or from some other country only, but rarely with the 'originals, natives'.
Very few MSs or PHDs return to India, after spending such 5-6 years.
Howsoever they attain great knowledge, they are @lways treated as a second class citizens, Brownies or Blackies. Hardships are permanent. They are @lso lonely. Only weekends offer some solace; they can visit others!!
Why don't they return? Easily n universally cited n accepted answer is 'Scope is less for such brilliance/Intelligence!'
Is it so? Really!? Don't they owe something to their native? Is it not @lways great to be a King in Mulund, Mumbai, for example, than be a mere Pawn in a foreign country? Be the Achiever, here. Be the Leader, here. Be the Mover n Shaker, here. Be the Next Gen Maker, here. Be the Nation Builder, HERE!
Return, make a niche for yourself, don't be callous. Don't be a coward. Don't be so chicken hearted. Don't evade. Don't run away.
It's Hindustan's Brain Gain. Welcome back.

एखाद्या संस्थेचे मोठेपण किंवा खूजेपण अधोरेखीत होते ते काही महत्वाच्या गोष्टींमूळे, जसे...
~ संस्थेचे काम
~ संस्था स्थापन करणारी वा करणार्‍या व्यक्ति
~ संस्थेचे मूळ उद्दिष्ट
~ सर्वसामान्यांचा सहभाग
~ लोकेशन, व्याप्ती, प्रसिद्धी, वगैरे वगैरे
परंतू अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण बाब म्हणजे, संस्था चालवणारी माणसे/कार्यकर्ते, त्यांची निष्ठा व पारदर्शकता!
काही जून्या संस्था चालवणारी कार्यकारी मंडळं मात्र आपली खाजगी मालकी असल्या प्रमाणे कारभार करतात, हे बघून अतीव दु:ख व वेदना होतात. वर्षानूवर्ष जागा अडवायच्या, मिरवायचं व नवीन मासे गळाला लावायचे. म्हणजे काम करणारी माणसे तयार करायची, गोड बोलायचे, वरकरणी उदारमतवादी असल्याचे सोंग करायचे, व कार्यभाग साध्य झाला की कामापूरता मामा, टाटा, सी यू, बाय बाय, ठेंगा!
ह्या घट्ट चिकटलेल्या मंडळींना प्रचंड भीती वाटते - अरे, आपल्या अढळपदाला धक्का बसला तर!? मग सुरू असते तू छान, मी छान ची स्पर्धा, एक क्लोज्ड सर्कल, अभेद्य, एक कौतूक ग्रूप, पण संस्थेच्या प्रगतीला मारक.
अत्यंत किळसवाणी गोष्ट म्हणजे, अशा संस्थांचे कँटरर (मोनोपोली वाले), वर्षातून एकदोनदा सर्व सभासदांना जेवण खायला घालून, आपणच मालक असल्याच्या आविर्भावात वावरत असतात!

Engineering Diploma versus Engineering Degree. Age old, never ending debate. Generally speaking (sic!), a degree holder is more proficient or a diploma holder, with same years of experience/exposure, is? Is he not?
My own experience (my own), is, surprisingly, a diploma holder, with same capability, sans a paper degree, is more enthusiastic, sincere, hard working, all rounder - a multi tasker, but sadly less vocal. A diploma holder lacks communication skill n cunningness/slyness. As it is, there is an invisible stamp of a non-professional, because of lack of a degree. But they are more open, more positive, more energetic, more toiling n more obedient (!)!
This is purely my own opinion, no hard feelings!

Professionalism:-
Be punctual.
Time is the essence; it's very much important that we be punctual. When we agree on a particular time, it's our responsibility that we adhere to it. Reach the venue atleast 15 minutes earlier than the agreed time. Plan it properly, depending upon the location, mode of transport, time of day, day of the week and any specific happenning on this particular day/time.
Be true to your words.
Commitment is a commitment is a COMMITMENT! No two ways about it. We should n must think twice, thrice before we utter something/give our word to anyone. Thereafter it's our responsibility to adhere to the words/a commitment/a promise.
Be overboard n straightforward.
We must be outspoken, in a sense, that there should not be any scope for ambiguity. Neither there should be any misunderstanding nor a lack of clarity. @lways talk in plain, simple, unbiased, unemotional way.
Respect other's views.
Nobody gives undue n unwarranted favours. There is, many a times, a difference of opinion. Learn 'To agree to disagree!'
Do not shout or raise your voice.
Nothing is achieved by being hysterical! Keep your tone even. Voice modulation is important. Put across your point of view in an unhurried manner.
Finally,
Do not give advice until and unless asked for the same! Free advice is very easy. Speak only when it's appropriate and absolutely necessary. It's very simple to be the judge of other's actions n deeds but at the same time, it's very difficult to be an advocate of our own!

रिअल इस्टेट रेट तोडायला आपणच सुरूवात केली पाहीजे.
If you are looking for a decent accommodation and are on the search for new apartment/flat or a second home, start offering 3/4th price and stick to it!
For example, if a flat of @600 sqft is priced at Rs 1 Crore, we should offer 75 Lac and do NOT waver, come down in any circumstances. (As it is, the costing of such flat, as per ready reckoner is @70 Lac only!).
Lot (Lot many) flats are lying vacant in Mumbai, simply because they are OVER priced.
Breakup (illustration, my working)
1) Construction cost (proportionate)
600 x 3000 = 18,00,000
2) Land cost (proportionate)
600 x 3000 = 18,00,000
3) FSI/TDR/PREMIUM (proportionate)
600 x 3000 = 18,00,000
4) Permissions/ Liasioning (proportionate)
600 x 1000 = 6,00,000

Grand Total
60,00,000 + 12,00,,000 = 72,00,000
It's 72 Lac! instead of whopping 1 Cr!
See? Even, all the rates are considered on the higher side. Profit is considered as a steep 20% (considering huge investments by the promoters/builders)
Still, we will notice that the current rates are simply ridiculous/inflated/overpriced by @lmost 25%.
Let's start the 'undoing' and rightly so.

रिअल इस्टेट रेट तोडायला आपणच सुरूवात केली पाहीजे.
If you are looking for a decent accommodation and are on the search for new apartment/flat or a second home, start offering 3/4th price and stick to it!
For example, if a flat of @600 sqft is priced at Rs 1 Crore, we should offer 75 Lac and do NOT waver, come down in any circumstances. (As it is, the costing of such flat, as per ready reckoner is @70 Lac only!).
Lot (Lot many) flats are lying vacant in Mumbai, simply because they are OVER priced.
Breakup (illustration, my working)
1) Construction cost (proportionate)
600 x 3000 = 18,00,000
2) Land cost (proportionate)
600 x 3000 = 18,00,000
3) FSI/TDR/PREMIUM (proportionate)
600 x 3000 = 18,00,000
4) Permissions/ Liasioning (proportionate)
600 x 1000 = 6,00,000

Rat race...
Scenario/ Reality :-
Only Graduation is not enough. MBA is a must. (Before an MBA phobia, Steno/Typing was a MUST after graduation, many years back! Offcourse; @lmost everyone used to join the typing classes...no hard feelings)
Then, a good job at last, if one is fortunate enough.
Corporate ladder starts. A rat race, a dog eat dog competition. A novice begins his career at the bottom wrung n starts understanding corporate naunces, ways, means n customs, to surge forward at breathneck speed.
Take any department/function/role/profile/post, pressure starts mounting; stakes are high, deliverables pile on. Be it
Production, Quality Control, Logistics, Supply chain, Purchase/Procurement, Sales, Marketung, HR, Accounts, Audit, Projects, Maintenance, Administration, back office/front office/Secretarial, after Sales service, Branding/Advertising, Facilities, Security, Safety, Transport, Welfare, Training, Stores/Materials, IT, Networking - any n all departments are pressure cooker, now a days.
Prove oneself, meet time-lines/deadlines, multitasking, surpass targets, achieve goals, make office tours, attend seminars/conferences, participate in meetings, site visits, even arranging/be present at office parties/get togethers has become a market 'mantra'!
This results into new responsibilities, newer challenges, alongwith more perks, perquisites, allowances...PLI (Performance Linked Incentive) or PLR (Performance Linked Reward), increments, raise, position, post, authority AND Ambition!
Reason? A feeling of being left out, dreading the tag of 'under achiever', average performer, an also ran. Read between the lines - need for Comfort zone, bigger flat, bigger vehicle, bigger, more, larger, greater...of everything!
Be the leader in the race!
And the consequences? And any solution?

796 cc, 1000 cc, 1500 cc, 2000 cc, 3200 cc and so on. Engine capacity of 4 wheelers is increasing. Lot many varieties are available. Power enhancement is never a problem. It's relatively simple. Increase the capacity, engine power will increase. More the input, more the output.
Mileages or average or कितना देती हैं, is a major issue. How efficient the engine runs and how the consumption of fuel per kilometer can be reduced, was n is @lways overlooked by auto manufacturers.
'High end' cars give average of 5-6 to 8 km/litre. Higher the four wheeler price, higher the torque, higher the comfort(!), lower (n lower) the average, ironically!
Average of high end luxury cars is NOT to be asked, is the ploy used very cunningly. Why not? Actually, customers should demand greater mileage, if the cost is greater!
No technological development is happening in this regard, sadly.

Smart city
Smart City concept!
What is A Smart city? In simple words it is a 'Liveable' city.
Not that simple; in fact, Liveable, is the most complex term having tremendous depth in it's whole meaning. It is really difficult n tough to build a liveable city. More so, when we speak of transforming 'Existing' city with it's ailing infrastructure towing along. Comparatively, it is 100 times easier to build Smart city from scratch, rather than convert from old towards new! Converting, read transforming! Strong political will, public support, scalable planning n implementing n monitoring, harsh decisions, and above @ll, patience, belief, participation, backing, n even stricter, newer laws n enforcement is required. Most challenging n onerous uphill task.
On the other hand, Smart city, as a greenfield project is easier! Urban planning n development, in a phased manner envisaged at the beginning is the core competency mandatory to drive such project. The infrastructure of the city needs to be reliable & scalable.
Power (Electricity), Water (potable, sewage, drainage, recycled), Gas, Telecom (fibre optic cabling, communication) IT (network, data centres, automation n control), Civil (roads, Bridges, Underpasses), Transportation (Mono rail, Metro rail) infrastructure, blended with residential/commercial/industrial, institutional, schools/colleges/educational institutes, hospitals, gardens, lanscaping, entertainment features, even cemeteries, fire brigade, disaster management cells, financial institutions, et al facilities planned in a phase wise staggered development shall take us through!
@fter @ll, in my opinion, a Smart City is nothing but "an IT Enabled Integrated Liveable Township".

आज सकाळी बँकेत गेलो होतो. तमाम महिलावर्ग निळ्या रंगात! साडी निळी, ब्लाऊज मँचिंग निळा, ड्रेस नीळे इ. नंतर लक्षात आले, अरे हो - "आजचा रंग निळा" असे एका वर्तमानपत्राने छापलेय व गेली काही वर्ष समस्त भगिनी तंतोतंत पालन करताहेत! बरं वर आमिष काय तर ग्रूप फोटो छापला जायची शक्यता.
मी जरा तपास केला माहीतगारांकडून की बाबा धर्मात/शास्त्रात असे स्पेसिफीक रंग सांगितलेत का? उत्तर नाही असं आहे.
म्हणजे झालय काय, एखाद्या वृत्तपत्राने खप वाढवण्यासाठी हे केलय का? दूसर्या एका रायव्हल वृत्तपत्राने नेमके उलट क्रमांकाने रंग सांगितले तर? कसलं कामाला लावलय बायकांना...
बरं, गम्मत काय आहे, की मराठी सोडून इतरभाषिक स्त्रियांना हे माहीतही नसते. (हा, आता आँफीस मधल्या सोडून!)
असो.
कुठलाही रंग वापरा ओ, देवी काही कोपणार नाही, व नाराज ही होणार नाही!

काही सोप्पे, छान, सांघिक भावना वाढवणारे, शारिरीक व्यायाम करून घेणारे, स्वस्त (!), असे मैदानी खेळ काळाच्या ओघात लुप्त झालेत.
डब्बा ऐसपैस: सांघिक खेळ.
लगोरी: सांघिक खेळ.
पकडा पकडी: सांघिक खेळ.
पकडा पकडी (साखळी): सांघिक खेळ.

लंगडी: सांघिक खेळ.
लपंडाव: सांघिक खेळ.
विटी दांडू: सांघिक खेळ. (थोडा डेंजरस, सध्याच्या परिस्थितीत)
पाच, सहा, सात, आठ जणांत एकत्र खेळाचे उत्तम पर्याय. सिंपल व इफेक्टिव्ह. मिनिमम साहित्य. कमी खर्चीक.
कँम्पूटर खेळ, मोबाईल वरचे खेळ, इतर खेळ, स्विमिंग वगैरे मुलांनी खेळलेच पाहिजेत, ती काळाची गरज(च) आहे. पण त्याबरोबर, शक्य होईल तो, शक्य असेल तिथे, वर उल्लेखलेले गेम्स मुलांना शिकवले तर त्यांना ते नक्कीच आवडतील, याची मला खात्री आहे.

While slowing down / slowly
coming to a halt, on a two wheeler, releasing brake and lifting / removing and
resting your RIGHT foot on the ground, instead of LEFT foot, (@fter changing
gears to lowest possible), is similar to,while driving a four wheeler, pressing
brake pedal by LEFT foot instead of RIGHT foot, while slowing down / slowly
coming to a halt! (this is strict no-no. Left foot ONLY for clutch n right foot
for braking / accelerating)

lunch (noon meal) is in vogue. We find roadside vendors selling bananas around
each n every business establishment locality. Office goers, so called white
collared personnel is seen flocking banana gaadi in
hordes, loitering, talking in leisure during @fter lunch walk!
I wonder whether these people eat
banana, after lunch, when they are home on Saturdays, Sundays n Holidays!!

If you are driving on suburban roads, and you have an auto
rickshaw in front of you, cruising slowly, then BEWARE! Auto is looking for a
customer; Rickshaw walla will be immune to your signals. All his concentration
would be to find a customer! It may swerve to right or left or stop mid way, or
for that matter, can do anything, without warning / signal. Be very cautious
and try to overtake it as soon as possible! (cursing rickshaw walla, is he
roaming in a garden?!)

Realty prices have
skyrocketed, and even if the real estate market is down, there is no sign of
rate reduction. Resulting in thousands of flats lying vacant n not being sold.
People living in 1 BHK flat
want to move to 2 BHK and people living in 2 BHK want to move to 3 BHK. The
beauty is that, for example, a new 2 BHK flat is available at Rs.1.5 Crore. So,
1 BHK flat owners reserve their selling price at @Rs,1 Crore, calculation being
1 Cr selling price, plus loan of say 40 Lac plus
sundry savings @10-12 Lac to reach magic figure of 1.5 Crore!! And these people
are not ready to sell it for let's say 85-90 Lac, as whole imaginary
calculation goes phut!
This is having a cascading effect.
Flats are NOT getting sold!

Try visiting any real estate broker's office. You'll find
everyone is seated quietly at respective place n doing something on their PC,
if it's there or else most probably playing / busy in Whatsapp. But see the
magic, once you take a seat infront of the main estate agent. There would be
all sorts of activities starting stagemanaged! During the course of your
discussion, broker will receive (!) atleast 3 calls. Other person present will
also make an outgoing calls. And all this is @lways orchestrated to impress
you, the customer!

We hear the short form of
Time Pass (TP) often. And we automatically n unknowingly relate it to something
like
~ whiling away
~ have nothing to do
~ doing something just for the sake of it
~ idling
~ doing something unimportant, un-required, n unwanted!
~ etc etc
~ whiling away

Of late Maharashtrian
Entrepreneurship discussion is in vogue. There are many forums nowadays. Public
domain or personal meets or within small programmes, all successful Marathi
Businessmen advice all n sundry vociferously. Marathi Manoos should leave job
and start doing something on his own. Be an entrepreneur. Be an businessman. Be
an industrialist. Be a trader/contractor/distributor/consultant/blah blah.
I
wonder, if everyone starts on his own, who will be there to work in a job
market? And an employee also gets due recognition n awarded handsomely for his
efforts in an organization---
