And  People Think Avocados are Great.  Health Conscious People Wake Up

“Ramakant, Ramakant…. The 42-route bus has again had a breakdown, get the breakdown van to Kharalwadi and see what’s the matter”, the dialogue is always the same, only the routes change and Ramkant and Supervisor Dange know that dialogue very well. These two people work like small but crucial cogs in the PMPML system. They both know that every day if there are not at least 5-6 breakdowns then there is surely some problem with the system otherwise it’s a normal day for them. Ramkant wanted to be an engineer but ended being a fitter in PMPML Nigdi bus Depo, it is very obvious that though having the instinctive knowledge about the automobiles, it was unfortunate that Ramakant never really had colours flying. So it was decided that 2 years at Aundh ITI would be sufficient to get him a government job and so he did. You can spot Ramakant from much longer distance in most crowded places, the blackened khaki with grease or motor oil and sports shoes are his trademark, the clothes are suc

Zero In the beginning, there was darkness and out of that darkness came Zero. This is the story of ‘ Zero’. Zero as you may all know only became known when he was recognized as numeral in number system by the ancient astronomer and a great mathematician Aryabhatta in 7 th century AD and by 9 th Century AD, Zero got his full recognition in the eyes of mathematicians like Bhaskara, Mahavira etc. This is his story.                       In the beginning, there was darkness and out of that darkness came Zero. Zero wandered in the darkness for infinity and when the “Big Bang” happened, zero was released from the clutches of darkness or when GOD said let there be light and there was light (whichever version you prefer). Zero became free. Zero wandered the cosmos and universe and when he searched for meaning he could find none, for no one shall explain him the significance of his existence unless he comes to the lofty banks of Ganges in the land east of river Sindhu wher

City Mouse, Country Mouse, and The Secretariat Mouse. Mouse, Mice, Rat. They come with different names, but they have one common aim, to cause nuisance and havoc in human lives. Right from causing deadly plague to causing discomfort by nibbling away favorite suit at the very day of your important meeting. It's like they have taken upon themselves the onus of causing immeasurable pain to the human cohabitants, who happen to reside with these tireless nibblers.                                                                 Now they are not alone, they have a huge genealogy and with their relatives and families spread all over the known world. They are expected to be of around  519 species.  Today most of the city people miss these nibblers due to they being permanently taking refuge in the urban sewers and growing army ready to take on the world. Seems that the country mouse in India is suffering from hunger and exploitation at the hands of private moneylender

The Most Eligible Bachelors Don't get any ideas, ladies, these are the most eligible bachelors. Why you ask? well to start with these are the only species left of its kind and they too are scarce. This marks the beginning of the countdown. Tribute to Sudan The only male white rhino that passed away in Kenya, was named Sudan after the country of his birth. Also called "The most eligible bachelor", Sudan was only one of his kind and now he too has passed away. In an attempt to save the species the animal was brought back from Czech to the African wildland. He lived mostly healthy life, with security as synonymous to the resident of The white house . He was constantly watched by militarized rangers 24/7 in an attempt to save him from poachers. He ultimately succumbed to his age and wounds. The Indian Subcontinent Coming back to the Indian subcontinent, once the Indian cheetah (Asiatic Cheetah) raced the Vindhya and Sahyadri mountains but has vanished fro

Now it has been three-four days since the latest incident of Syrian regime bombing a town killing more than 400 people, men, women, and children. News of this gravity cannot be just discussed at a brief but had to be analyzed to the core. It has been now almost 7 years since the bloodbath started in the middle east. What started as Arab spring eventually turned out to be a disturbed middle east, in these seven years we have witnessed the rise and fall of ISIS also known as Daesh. Who are these men? why they want to hold the entire world at the gun point? Well surely and definitely not for the cause of Allah, if that been the crux, the world would have been a better place. These people are agents of death and destruction, they do not confine to any religion, we find their brothers in every known religion of the world. They belong to both worlds, the developed countries, and the underdeveloped ones. Today we feel sorry for ourselves for we remain helpless in fighting ag

Love and It's Journey  Long before I read Shakespeare’s sonnets, I had mine written when the undue happened, I was born. In the pursuit of love, I have had a good run from pillar to the post, but this love concept is very treacherous. How do we find someone? There are no set rules, guidelines even if they exist are very subjective in nature. The person who is searching this vague concept of love is determining the whole journey of the process.  It’s utterly impossible to judge a human through subjective changes in behavior that are brought about in the process of pursuing the love. Consider a person going through these processes who is consciously altering behavior for the person of interest, now real nature of the very person may alter to an extent, that too have varying degrees. Psychology defines love as infatuation, a mere attraction, it’s species inherent abilities to reproduce and evolve, without which we all might get extinct. Spirituality compares love with that
