5 things I like about myself

Here are 5 things I like about myself. I am sure there will more things in me which people like and I would request them to reply back in comments section about the same.

  • Sarcastic

I don’t talk much usually, but when I do I make every word of it count. I guess sarcasm is in my blood. My dad and mom also used sarcasm to actually “tackle” my mistakes and that has made me learn the “sarcasm” hard way. Usually my sarcasm is used to produce humour without hurting the person targeted. One example of it – we were having a mid term test in VJTI where answer sheets were A4 size journal papers. I think someone gave Naresh only 1-2 sheets, so he asked me to give more papers. I was really irritated by this, as he was as it is going to copy someone else’s paper. My reply was, “इतके पेपर्स कशाला हवे आहेत? तुला काय ग्रन्थ लिहायचा आहे का?” (Meaning – Why do you need so many? Are you going to write a novel?)(More could be found on Sankalp’s blog)

  • Keeping friends

I take a lot of time to build new friends. But when I do, I tend to keep the relationship going even if years pass by or distances between us have grown to thousands of Kms. That’s why I am still in contact with people who were my classmates in Nursery, to people who are in US doing their MS. I love them all.

  • Humility

I am humble enough not to discuss too much on this issue :)

  • Being the sincere guy

Ask any of my classmates, whether from Sundatta High School, Chikitsak, Ruparel, VJTI or even NITIE. Who is the one of the most sincere guys in the class, and my name would appear high in the list. I am always serious about the things I want to do, so whether it is attending classes, writing home work/assignments or making my friends understand the concepts even if it takes some of my time, I will do it with utter sincerity.

  • Academics

Well, that is one thing I will cherish my whole life. I am able to produce good results consistently. In fact, some of performances still surprise me. Undoubtedly. getting PCM 299 was one of the biggest achievements in my life. That day made me unique in some way. It became my identity for some time. And it always feels good when hard work pays off.

 

These are just the 5 things I like about myself. If you feel that I have missed something very important, which I myself could not pick up, then “be my guest” and chip in your reply.

By the way, Rutuja, Tag completed!!!

I found you to be a person of principles from some observations in VJTI. You have always stood up for what you believed. Sometimes there is a tinge of idealism, but I have also seen you concede to rational arguments.. So there , here is my 50 cents :)

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

My Favorite Song

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list

शायरी

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................
