She Believed, She Could, So She Did - Hemal Gala (Sangoi)

Image
Hemal Gala (Sangoi ) "She's a surprise, quiet, soft spoken, yet headstrong and determined" what better way to describe Hemal. She is a true Mumbai girl, born n raised with 3 siblings. She was always creatively inclined, but succumbed under peer pressure, when it was time to choose her stream. She went with science and went on to do her masters in Biochemistry. Subsequently, started her corporate grind of 9 to 5. All this while she still nurtured her creativity and kept it alive. Soon she got married and was blessed with a lovely daughter. She took a break to attend to her maternal duties and this break proved to be a breakthrough for her. Time off the job scene, sowed in her the seeds of 'entrepreneurship'. This rekindled her fire and with encouragement from family started her journey. She is one of my old colleagues, I still remember her as a very gentle human being. A fun-loving timid girl, who would leave a lasting impression on anyone. Let hear more about her ...

बिदाई

Image
बेटी की शादी नजदीक आ रही थी। पैसो का इन्तेजाम अभी तक नही हो पाया था। खेत मे उजड़ी फसल देख आँख मे आँसू आ जाते। क्यू किया विधाता ने ऐसा, क्यू खुशियों मे शमील नही हुआ वो? जब और कोई इन्तजाम ना हो सका, तो बेटी के प्यार के आगे वफादारी हार गयी। दिल पे पथर रख, उसने अपने बेल को बेचने का फैसला किया। घर मे किसी को बताये बिना, सौदा हो गया। पैसे मिल गये, अगले दिन सुबह बेल को ले जाना पक्का हुआ। रात भार ना निंद ना चेन। किसान के लिये बेल, पुत्र जैसा होता है। बेटी के भविस्या के लिये, उसने अपना जी मर लिया। भोर हुई, तो डबडबाई आंखो के समाने कुछ रंग दिखे। किसान हड़बड़ा के उठा। बेल के साथ उसकी औरत खडी थी, कुछ उदास। बेल को उसने खुब सुन्दर सजाया था। बोली "इतना तो हक बनता है ना इसका, और इस पर मेरा?" दोनो उसे बैठ निहारें लगे, और अश्रु ना रुखे। "बिदाई का दुख वो किसान बतायेगा, जिस्ने बेटी को विदा करने के लिये अपना सब कुछ बेच दिया हो।"

आखिर रावण कौन था?

Image
ज्ञान से ज्यादा प्रभुतव उसके अनुसरण का होता है। ज्ञान स्वाभिमान का दाता हो तो कीर्ति प्राप्त होती है। पर जब ज्ञान अहंकार को जनम दे, तो क्षतीदायक होता है। रावण बल और बुद्धीमत्ता का स्वामी था। पर बल पे बुद्धी, और बुद्धी पे कर्म भरी होता है। रावण का अंत राम ने नही, रावण के अहंकार ने किया। उपलब्धी से निर्मल बने, तभी ज्ञान, बल, बुद्धी आपके पक्ष मे होंगे।

आजाद

मेने ही लग्वयी थी यह कुंडी, तुमसे जाते जाते, सबके लिये घर खली था। तुम्हारे जाने के बाद, और ना कोई आ पाये, इसलिये ही तो लग्वयी थी कुंडी, पर तुम क्यू नही अए?   तुम्हे तो पता था ना, मे हू अंदर, तन्हा, तुम्हारे इन्तज़ार मे, फिर तुम क्यू नही अए? क्यू रहने दिया मुझे अकेला? मे जानती हू कुंडी थी, ताला नही, मे बाहर आ सकती थी। पर तुम क्यू नही अए? लम्हे, दिन, साल गुजरते गये, तुम क्यू नही अए? फिर एक दिन, मेरी बुझी हुई आंखो ने मुझसे पुछा, तू खुद क्यु नही खोलती कुंडी? शोर मचा, चुप क्यू बैठी है? उस दिन जब मेने ज़बा पे लगा ताला खोला, सारी कुंडीया खुल गयी। मे तुम्हारी नही, में अपनी सोच की गिरफ्तार थी। जब में ही अपने लिये नही आयी, तो तुम क्या आते। पर अब मे हू आजाद,  हर गिरफ्त से। अपनी सोच और तुम्हारी यादो की गिरफ्त से आजाद। अब मे हू, जी खोले के जीने को तैयार......

Superman ना बनना

Image
Superman ना बनना, Good man मगर तुम बन जाना। सबसे भलेेे ही हारना, पर अपने मन से जीत जाना। थको, तो रुक जाना, पर निराशा के आगें झुक ना जाना। तरक्की ना हो, कोई बात नही, किसी की अधोगति का कारण बन ना जाना। निरंतर प्रसन्न रहना, वर्तमान मे जीना, पर भूतकाल का सबक भुल ना जाना। सच और इन्साफ के साथ चलना, पर हसी-खुशि के साथ रहना भुल ना जाना। बेटा Superman बनो ना बनो, Goodman, जरूर तुम बन जाना।

She Believed, She Could, So She Did - Sunayana Gawade

Image
Sunayana Gawade “The Walls between Art and Engineering exist only in our minds” this is so true for Sunayana. The ease with which she transitioned from being a working professional in a MNC to an art and craft enthusiast is mesmerizing. She received art as a heritage from her father. She was raised with two siblings and has always been a very active person. Physical agility was shown in her Basketball and mental agility in her art and craft projects. Her independent personality always was inclined towards entrepreneurship. But everyone around her believed, education followed by a job in MNC, were essential for living a good life. So, family didn’t allow to pursue her dream, to do more in the field of art. She went on to do her graduation and post-graduation in computer science. Once, she was married, her passion for art was forgotten while juggling professional and family responsibilities.  After working close to a decade as a software engineer, she still felt amiss. In the initial...

मेरि चंचल

 चंचल जब पेहली बार मेरि गोद  मे आयी, वह रोयी नही। वह मुझे  देखती रही और मे उसे, जैसे हम दोनो एक दुसरे से कह रहे हो,"सब ठीक है।" इतने मे डॉक्टर आयी और बोली, " घाबराओ मत  baby बिल्कुल healthy है। हमने अच्छे से जाच की है । इसे जो बीमारी है, उससे इसकी सेहत को कोई नुक्सान नही होगा। काफी rare है जनमसे ऐसा होना।" मेंने डॉक्टर की तरफ देखा और कहा, "बिलकुल हिरन सी है, प्यारी छोटे-छोटे छीटें भी है इस पर। इस्क नाम तो में चंचल रखुगी। सही ?" मेरी चंचल बिलकुल वैसी ही थी, छोटे से हिरन सी। उसे जनम्तह Leucoderma था। दाग थे, पर सिर्फ तन पे।

Happythyroidism

Image
Pic courtesy - Google Hello all, I know all of you are wondering what is  Happythroidism . We all have heard of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, but this sounds something new. Just to clarify I have not invented any new disease; I know I am a doctor but I am not that good girls. In fact, this post talks about the patient in me and not doctor.  Also, I am not trying to tell you the disease that I am diagnosed with but here this post talks about my state of mind, post my diagnosis. Normally after a series of pathological investigation when we zero down on an illness, we are sad to endure a long-term treatment. As most of us are aware that any kind of thyroid hormone related imbalance calls for a lifelong external supply of hormone with the help of oral pills. But then why do you think I am happy and why do I term my illness to be anything but  Happythyroidism . So basically, let me begin with what caused me to go for those needle prick investigation whe...

Love Vs Fear

Image
Shambhavi was tired and stressed out. Why was she being forced to continue working? She wanted to quit! She had it all planned out. She knew what, where, how and was ready to fail if it didnt work. She was not afraid, but her parents were. They didnt get it. It was very difficult for them to understand her suffocation. Her father had spent all his life in the same job where he started. He spend his life balancing and not really aspiring. He was a good man, Who kept the needs of his family above his aspirations, be it professional or personal life. He would always agree to avoid conflict and confrontation. Shambhavi was given all the freedom, education and comfort he didn't have. However, when it was time for her to look for stability, she wanted to give it all up. Shambhavi on the other hand, wanted to explore and live on her own terms. She wanted to travel and paint. Her father wanted her happiness, but deep down he knew money was important. Didnt he keep his dreams aside for ...

Air fryer - My 2nd best buy in Pandemic

Image
What Air fryer can do? How Air fryer works? Why Air fryer is good? Air fryer or traditional oven? If you have all these questions and more.....read on! My Kenstar Aster Digi 1500-Watt Oxy Fryer (3.5 L) An air-fryer is a portable counter-top kitchen appliance.  It has heating mechanism with a fan that helps rush hot air around the found kept in a deep basket. Hot air surrounds food as it is submerged in hot oil in a deep fryer. This rapid circulation makes the food crisp, very much like deep frying. Air fryers use little to no oil to get the same effect as traditional deep frying. Is it better than a convection oven? I would say both are different appliances. An Oven uses heat generated by an element and slowly radiates it over food. Air fryer on the other hand uses rapid air technology and is comparatively faster. Small size helps circulate the heat more evenly, crisping up your food without hot spots.  Reasons to consider when deci...
