Unsung Heroes
Why didn't we invite them? Were we too tied up? Were we expecting others to do this "work"? Were too keen to meet the select few? Were we so lost with nonsense commercial tuition teachers, who designed some select few to Engg,Medical? Were they not at all important to be invited?
Why?
Someone has to invite them for the next meet. If you don't, should I?
Missed them....while going through that group photo album.

Pour some sugar on me! Material Girl
Friends I'm probably the lucky few amongst we classmates who gets to enjoy the new and old of both western and Indian music, (nowadays also World music), on radio everyday! You'll knew my passion for music and so has God! He blessed me with a home in Goa, where I can meet artists and attend concerts of some great musicians.
Those days,few of you even laughed at my dreams to become a Rockstar! Trust me, I am a Rockstar now. That's when I choose my favourite Skull candy headsets, songlists, turn on the ipod and close my eyes! I'm also on world tour when there are public holidays and an occasional Bharat bandh, as it was today! My children attend classes for guitar and Indian classical music. And I have a dvd of "Rock On" too! The only similarity with the movie and my life is when the lead actress mentions that she knows little of Rock music! My wife too knows very little!!!
Back to reality, just as "Pour some sugar on me" got over, Madonna started crooning, Material Girl! And I remembered Live Aid telecast on our black and white tv sets then. My parents were fast asleep, and here I was flying between US and UK, watching Bob Geldof's most memorable get-together of our favourite stars for charity.
I spoke about the concert the next day and everyone questioned, "what was that?"
Today, times have changed and many of you still request me if I have that collection of songs.......Yes, I do have. Thousands of songs, on not just one, but on over 3 Ipods!.....and not just the old but also the new. And there's good news too, along with Rock, Pop, Jazz, Blues,Electronica and the latest club music from Ibiza; I also have some good Hindi and Marathi songs!
But I have a problem, I need to put them together as songlists according to their genres. I also need to add some of your favourite songs in my collection!
Lets come together online, share some good music and also create an album of our favourites!

Barsaat ki Dhun Soon ....
So dear friends, that day has arrived. I can see the monsoon clouds gathered and drizzling a little. I had been to kolhapur last week for a day. I could see the monsoon clouds gathering over there. In fact since my childhood i love to see that scene. This time that scene was more titillating to me as i could witness that in my home town !! During a return journey i whirled in monsoon memories of kolhapur. Well, beautiful landscape of Rajaram college ( oh, don't ask me. I was never a student of Rajaram), shyam's wada over there, chay at tapri near to it, then a beautiful rajarampuri main road which blossoms more during rain, evergreen university campus, rankala lake and lastly the boss ... Panhala. Oh god, thanks for creating more heavens on earth and may i take your permission to say that Panhala in monsoon is one of those.
It's a beautiful Sunday morning friends. And this time with monsoon clouds. I am not in a mood now of revising any memories of our college sirs. I may resume on next post for that. But i certainly remembered another sir for an obvious reason. I remembered the song in a movie 'Sir'.
Well, some may like it some may not. But my dear friends just enjoy the song with a cup of tea in hand ( or else, depending upon the time when you enjoy). Its not the song that just relates to rain only. It relates also to few or more memories of the time when the movie was released. You may realize what i mean when this time you listen the song attentively.. not just the lyrics.
And what a season for next one and half month. Its a monsoon and what ..... A soccer world cup?
Its an icing on cake yaar !! Oh god, how may i thank you for this. Just be little generous on me to be efficient on daytime after late night telecasts as I do not want to miss the single moment of that jallosh ...
So my dear friends ... Cheers !! and soon soon soon barsaaaaaat ki dhoon soon...
Thanks.

I Remember ...
I know you will keep that good spirit always up. It would be my pleasure to join your team too.
Yes your ideas are good and feasible. We'll talk about that and proceed as soon as possible. In fact, Ashish and me had a talk on the similar subject and on the same night, while having late night ( may be very late) supper after our meet eve was over. ( Maybe with slowed tongues)
Well, I think that we should start with our friends first. Helping somebody is not always and should not be always in monetary terms. Along with that what we can do is to set up a forum where we can find out about how we can leverage everybody's potential to give hand to anybody else. With due respect to your suggestions, lets think on this as well. After all, charity begins at home!!
Well my dear friends, we were talking about Mr. Nagure. Do you remember he used to say ' Te mulag' for ' That boy' ? In mind he intend to say ' To Mulgaa" but would end with saying ' Te mulag'. Not ' aa' at the end but a silent ' g'. Remember? Ah.. i cannot explain further with letters.
And remember him teaching us ' Pyramus and Thisbie' ? Oh god, he thought that it was the only lesson to teach in an academic year and so continued to do so for a very long time.
Remember another english teacher Mr. Ranvir? Used to always shout ' John F Kennedy aaplya bhashnamadhe mhanala .... well, Kay mhanala kunas thauk. He never told that very clear. And he would pronounce ' Jaan' for ' John' and ' kyannedy' for ' kennedy'. Ha Ha Ha !!
Dear friends its a Monday morning so i have to stop here. I have already received a couple of suspicious, staring glances coming tangential to upper border of my monitor, from my dear wife.
' Tangential ? ' ' A Tangent ?' Can you define a tangent now Mr. Vipul Sagre? Mr. Parulekar?
Menon ? Tatpathi?
Come on guys you are the favorite ones of Mr. Pethe and you have to keep him thinking so.
To be continued .....

I Remember ...
Well, i remember every little thing. The only thing stopping me from putting all those in a one go, is a length of one post. It would certainly make some of our friends feel like tired while reading such a long post. So what would i do that i will break those memories in singles and start posting one by one. This will please our friends. It will keep inviting them to our blog regularly as well.
Alright friends, I remember the tiny but beautiful building of our college. In fact it became beautiful in our minds later on. Wasn't appealing at the time when we were there with our parents to seek admission. I remember the nice little entrance from main road too.
And I remember the very first day of our college. Colorful crowd, ecstasy on everybody's face, little anxiety, more enthusiasm. Groups formed at the small open space adjacent to our college building. Boys and girls greeting their schoolmates who joined the same college. Surprisingly, i didn't enjoy and hence may be do not remember other higher education institution's first day.
There were two groups mainly. Boys and girls who came from English medium schools like st. Xavier and Holy cross and others who came from Marathi medium schools. I have no idea about how and when girls were mixed up with each other but I remember that Xavier guys showed a spirit and broad mind to absorb the Marathi medium friends then. Thanks to them. That relieved either a' nincompoop' in shy, reserved boys or a' prejudice' in bold, extrovert boys who were from Marathi medium. Marathi medium boys on the other hand too, showed a noble mind to absorb Xavier guys as well.
Remember the word ' nincompoop' ? Mr. Nagure teaching us the fourth lesson in our English textbook with this word as a title? Remember him saying ' Conjurer' in a typical fashion while teaching another lesson? Ah ... don't strain too much. Just enjoy. There is much more to come.
To be continued ....

Where Time Stopped
The meet eve was very delightful, refreshing and as memorable as the countless memories of our college days. Yes, i can understand that 25 years is a very big span of time and that would certainly leave its impressions on our memories. But when everyone of us entered the hall and met with the old and dear friends of his or her, time had to honor one's feelings and apparently almost stopped. Going further, I would say, time also cashed the opportunity to refresh and hence enjoy the memories of its own.
We must thank very sincerely to Jabin, Pournima and Aashish for their consistent efforts to make the meets like this happen very successfully. Special thanks to Shriprasad with these guys for his regular and very keen follow up. Thanks to those all who have directly or indirectly contributed to make this event happen. Keep it up guys.Good going.
And thank you very much for each of us who irrespective of his or her busy time,attended the meet and graced the occasion. Thanks guys. Those, who couldn't attend the event, unwillingly though, please spare a day for next one.
Hey guys, this blog is for all of us. And there is a keen request from all of us that one should follow the discipline while posting on the blog and maintain the decorum. So please cooperate to keep the good momentum going which we ourselves have started for the betterment of ours only.
Thanks again friends. Keep in touch. God bless you all.!!!
