Selfie

What do I want to put on display when I post a selfie? Is it a new dress? New accessories? Outfit idea? Rings? Earrings? All of them? None of them? It depends. For me, selfie is a self expression. It is an art.

प्रथम वंदन

नमस्कार मंडळी.  माझ्या "श्रीगणेश पूजा विधि" या गेल्या वर्षी प्रकाशित झालेल्या पुस्तकाला गणेश भक्तांचा अभूतपूर्व असा प्रतिसाद मिळाला. यामुळे मला मिळालेली उमेद असे सांगत होती की आपल्या हिंदू धर्मात अशा अनेक प्रथा आहेत आणि अशी माहिती आहे जी आता लुप्त होण्याच्या मार्गावर आहे. ती जतन करणे आवश्यक आहे जसे की आजीबाईचा बटवा इत्यादी. याच्या अनुषंगाने मी विविध विषयांना आजपासून स्पर्श करण्याचा आणि ते विषय आपल्यासमोर सादर करण्याचा प्रयत्न करणार आहे. अपेक्षा ही आहे की माझा हा संकल्प आपल्या पसंतीस उतरेल. कुठल्याही कामाची सुरुवात करताना गणेशाला वंदन करूनच आपण करतो.  ॐ गं गणपतये नमः | अष्टविनायकांची नावे याप्रमाणे:  मोरगावचा मयुरेश्वर  सिद्धटेकीचा सिद्धिविनायक  पालीचा बल्लाळेश्वर  मढचा वरदविनायक  थेऊरचा चिंतामणी  लेण्याद्रीचा गिरिजात्मक  ओझरचा विघ्नेश्वर  आणि आठवा रांजणगावचा महागणपती वाचकहो, ही सुरुवात आहे. दर आठवड्यातून एकदा मी आपल्या भेटीस येईन. प्रत्येक वेळी विषय वेगळा असेल, अशी माझी अशी माझी संकल्पना आहे. - आनंद कृष्णाजी कणेक...

Opinion: Upstaging the bride

 Wedding season is about to begin. In the event of enthusiasm and glamour, nowadays I am seeing various social media posts featuring the bride, groom, and the whole ceremony. While most of these are wholesome posts, I am seeing a plethora of disheartening posts. Not only the social media posts but I have heard stories from friends and colleagues about how a specific guest was trying to upstage the bride. These posts/stories specifically discuss the following, where the bride is upset because: a wedding guest is wearing their own wedding outfits a wedding guest is wearing the outfit in the same colour or similar to that of the bride a wedding guest is wearing a bright colour which is drawing the attention away from the bride a wedding guest is prettier than the bride a wedding guest is wearing a designer outfits or a designer inspired outfit Most of these outfits could be inappropriate for the western weddings. In western weddings, most of the brides are dressed in white...

Haunted: The burning woman

All my life, I have heard ghost stories in my school, colleges, and offices. Rather it is safe to say that my school, colleges, and all workplaces were haunted. All stories I heard were the first person accounts.  This story is from one of my workplaces. This story is not for the faint hearted. The story of the burning woman. I had joined a new company. I was in my induction and probation days. As I was new, I was following the "standard rules" such as lay low, follow the orders of superiors, complete the work before the deadline, and avoid old colleagues' gossips.  It was one fine evening, around 6:45 PM I was still in the office. The official log off time was 5 PM, however I was waiting for my boss to tell me to leave (yes, I was that type of employee). Additionally, I had a deliverable with me for completion. Most staff members had already left. In an office of around 150 people capacity, only 6-7 people remained including me. A few seats across sat a senio...
