Its different

This year, its Festivals & New Years eve is different




I still remember these fag end days of 2019...where we were all gearing for welcoming new year 2020....truly this year has two zeros in it but no one have ever wondered it will make entire world's life to be zero... Anyways...Looking at this entire year... It was full of tension, pain, fear that is consistently hammering us, some have suffered and some are still suffering. All are taking steps to come out of this and come back to normal life... While we do this we have these getting to celebrate festivals one after the other right from Gouri ganeshotsav, navratri, Dushehra, Diwali and now its Christmas and finally New Year eve..... Its totally different this time....

During these festivals is not about having a grand vacation at an exotic location or any other location on this earth or having my house is sparkling clean and decked up for these festivals for guests to come, it is not about whether I have prepared a variety of mithais, cakes and namkeens, it is not about whether I have that perfect ethnic attire and jewelry for the occasions, it is not about a bucketful of bucks I would be spending on shopping and firecrackers, it is not even about whether I got a promotion or a raise...

This year it is more about Survival. It is about being grateful that we are still able to breathe and alive for this day. It is about being thankful for the love and care from our loved ones, It about being with the family under one roof and spending time together, It is about lighting a Diya for all those dear and near souls who left us, It is about extending support and spreading cheer to family and friends who have lost their people...It is about spreading happiness to those who have suffered losses in jobs and businesses...

Now finally we are hearing the vaccine is making entry and citizens are being given...its really a great sigh of relief though fear of side effects, how marketing goons will extract money from poor is still prominently exists. 

This year its different.....so lets pray and hope for the better days...days with normal life...days of cheer and happiness...

Wishing you all Festive seasons and a wonderful new Year. 

Cheers!!

    This year has been definitely different. It's gods way of teaching us humans to reassign priorities to things in life. If not now human will never understand true meaning of life...

    Yes, we learned a lot during Covid. Money is not important over health, understand the value of joint family.
    If we treat this as opportunity we will see the world differently.
    Less polluted cites
    Less crowded metros
    Work from home culture and
    Many more..
    Pray for those who lost their life. Hope we will receive the vaccine soon and available to all in low cost.

    Very well explained, the year 2020 will Come up with mixed reactions, those who is Working from home got a chance to connect more with family and for some one it's a nightmare. But life is all about the perception and attitude, the way we carry ourselves in tough situations will make us more strong through our approach. Finally I would say we are step away from vaccine so be happy and on another side don't through it away as the pandemic is still on.... Enjoy the Christmas and New year with family

    Cannot agree more Rashit. The tiny virus has brought the human race to its knees and reiterated the simple fact that they are not the dominant species and have to co-exist in a symbiotic manner with the nature around. True..2020 has to be celebrated just for hanging in and surviving. This year has taught many invaluable lessons and we will be better off to learn from them. 👍👍👍

Clock Change

Back to Basics: As you all are aware that it takes 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once on its axis. We split the globe into time zones using imaginary lines called meridians. They run from the North Pole to the South Pole, crossing lines of latitude. There are 24 time zones. Out of these 24 there is one such imaginary line running through the UK called the  Prime Meridian . It runs through a place in London called Greenwich. I  am yet to visit this place in London UK, I will promise to share the pics of that imaginary line with me  . The Prime Meridian splits the world into eastern and western  hemispheres . Time in countries to the  east  of the Prime Meridian is always in front of that in the UK. Time in countries to the  west  of the Prime Meridian is always behind that of the UK. You can refer to the below picture. As the Earth rotates on its  axis , the Sun only shines on the side of the Earth that it is facing. This means: It is...

Huljanti Malingraya

Huljanti, one of famous place in three states viz Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. This place is famous for a big fair of Lord Mahalingaraya (Lord Shiva). The fair is the main attraction which is on the occasion of Diwali and millions of people worship Lord Mahalingaraya's "Mundas Darshan" on that day.. Its a small village located on a sub river of Bhima named Dodda Nala. It is on Pandharpur-Vijapur Highway and 21 km from Mangalwedha. I would like to emphasize on the special attraction "Mundaas Darshan" in this post. Mundaas is a fine woven cloth with the most beutiful and unique design in the world. It's percieved that the design pattern color etc visible on mundaas are used for waether, rain crops and prosperity for the coming year. Usually this anlysis and interpretation to forecast is only done by local seniors. This practise is going on from so many unknown number of years. It's a mystery till today how and from where this cloth come...

Commander Abhilash Tomy

Image
It gives me a great pride in remembering that 15th Day of Jan 2017, when I met this great person in Lavasa.I was there on a official workshop where Abhilash sir was invited as chief guest. I was completely unaware of this personality before I heard him giving the speech and telling about circum navigation of the world ( earth ).   Commander Abhilash Tomy is an s an Indian naval officer and yachtsman. In 2013, he became the first Indian to complete a solo, un assisted, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe on INSV Mhadei. He also competed in the 2018 Golden Globe Race. What a phenomenal achievements when you are just 40s and still going for greater heights. I just don’t have enough words to express my feelings. He is not a ordinary soldier, he is champion sailor, decorated Naval officer and he is a ultimate survivor. To me Abhilash Tomy is no less than a miracle. That miracle would not have been possible with his unimaginable courage, perseverance and never say Die Spirit. You ...
