  • 37 posts

  • ~7200 words Blogged
  • ~ 4200 PADE words
  • 20000 words CampNaNoWriMo novella
This month July 2013 would be remembered forever :) So much happened in last one month that I will have to publish it in a 2 posts series – PADE and CampNaNoWriMo.

Part1: PADE
Honoured to be Ace of PADE 2013
(*shy* and *blush*)
When I got to know about PADE by Sfurti and Ritu KT, only a few have confirmed to participate. And as started, मंजिलें जुडती गयीं -  à¤•ाफ़िला बनता गया . 
Honestly, I was envy of the duo-girls that why I couldn’t come up with such an idea and at same time sceptically curious about its success. But, then I thought to let’s give my blog a marathon month and see what it may return. Not just a bumper improvement in viewer counts and different ranks (except IndiRank), this month brought me many a Blogger’ mates. This people count is what I love earning :)
The Big and Happy PADE Family
 As I am not as verse with words as Sfurti is, I am copying her

Punit Dubey "Mr. Photographer"
Shrikant "Mr.Out of the box"
Poonam "Ms Creativity"
Priyam "Yum posts"
Sini "The thinker"
Geetashree "The Scholar"
Pravin "Simple yet impactful"
Arghyadeep "Powerful words"
Anunoy "Magical words and powerful imagery"
Rio "Mr Philosopher"
Pankti "Ease and fun"
Meera aka a rat "Great nibbles"
Swaroop "Straightforward"
Prasanna "The Champ"
Prathamesh "Artistic"
Aliasgar "Talented"
Sammya "Colorful"
Ranjith "Mr. Creative"

I believe she has talked about each and every participant and if she has missed it, it’s her fault ;)

Two additions to the list:
Sfurti “Not Just a Mom”
RituKT “Ms Experimenter”

Sfurti, who blogs nonstop at Juztamom, is a lovely mother and knows to express her feelings with words. I remember Snapshooter: Level 4 photographer on Kenrockwell’s scale. She love photography to preserve the memories and writes to express her heart out!
My favourite PADE post from Sfurti’s blog is that of PADEDay 28 Special
A special photograph of a normal day
Ritu KT, blogger at ToRaveAbout, is young Indian lady in South Korea who wants to be an artist. She loves photography and never hesitates to share the trial pics she had taken while experimenting with her love D7000. (My circle of amateur photographers hate when people talk about technics but never have one or two pic to show that they may have taken trying that).
My favourite PADE post from Ritu’s blog is that of PADE Day 23 Window
Moon on a lazy Sunday morning
A big cheer to all the lovely participants, we seriously had a Big Fat Party through the month guys! I am sure we will be doing it again and with more participants more fun!

    Hey! That was a wonderful conclusion to the PADE month. Really loved the collage of bloggers.
    And like you said, I am really jealous of these 2 ladies who organised this.

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...

Natarang (नटरंग): My First Marathi Movie

Last Sunday was day booked for movies. First on the slot was Natarang (नटरंग). Natarang was my first Marathi movie and perhaps the second Regional Language movie after the classic Nadiya Ke Paar (नदिया के पार ) . Except for a few words, I don’t understand Marathi , and thus watched the subtitle version. But, I was so engrossed in movie that for the times was feeling the movie and not reading it. May be, as said by Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist , the characters were speaking World’s Unified language . The best side of the movie was its ability to keep the viewer enthralled throughout. Story line was about a body-builder farmer taking the risk of opening a theatre company, putting all his emotions on stakes; finally dares to take the role of a eunuch-character on stage. For the purpose, the hunk villager, played by Atul Kulkarni , shaved off his thick manly moustaches and had to lose his muscles. He learns the ways a woman walks talks and plays with different gestures. In the course, h...

Trekking Ghansoli Gawli Dev (Parsik) Hill

It’s been there for geological ages, we have been looking at it for last about 4years and I have been planning to trek it since a long time. Finally, few weeks back, we trekked the Ghansoli Hill. Ghansoli Hill is located at the eastern boundary of Ghansoli town, behind our office complex at RCP. The hill or better hillock is a part of small range that separates Kalyan and Navi Mumbai towns. A search on Google Map returns with a name Parsik Hill for it, though there is one more rather famous Parsik Hill in Navi Mumbai. We also found a NewsArticle , that talks about NMMC plans to develop Nature Awareness Centre at this hills and calls it Gawli Dev Hill. Here, we would be calling it Ghansoli Hill . I asked my colleague about it and he readily agreed. The very next Sunday we did it with another friend. We weren't aware of the route. All we knew is that a Central Road runs along the western edge of the hill and can be reached through the Vashi-Mhape road. We later found that t...
