हल्ली, बर्याच ठिकाणी मी असे बघतो की , इंग्लिश मधे नावे लिहिताना पहिले अक्षर मोठ्या लिपीत न लिहिता लहान लिपीतच लिहिल्या जाते. उ.दा: ramessh shetty, aparna singh किंवा माझ्या ब्लोगचे नाव!
ह्याला काय म्हणावे? a fashion statement? माझ्या मते तर इथे आपल्यातला बंडखोरच जागा होत असावा. तुम्हाला काय वाटतं ?

पो़ट
आपण कधीतरी जूनी पण आवडती trousers कपाटातून काढतो आणि घालायला जातो; लगेच इतके दिवस ही का घालत नव्हतो याची आठवण येते. बक्कल जेव्हा लागायला कुरबुर करतं तेव्हा आपण मनाशी विचार करतो की हे बक्कल लागायालाच हवं; आणि तोपर्यंत मी व्यायाम करणार...
असेच काही महीने जातात आणि सेम टु सेम प्रसंग घडतो... फक्त हातातली trousers वेगळी असते!

Motivation
Following is the story of motivation. I tried to put that in words and my thoughts in the brackets.
Went to an NGO last Saturday accompanying with friends; I thought of motivating some of the students to learn further. As we were chatting with two of the pleasant and enthusiastic 50+ ladies from the NGO, one girl came down and sat quietly with her school-bag. As we approached the end of our conversation, one of the ladies called her and asked to join us. She was one of the beneficiaries in the NGO.
That turned the table and I tumbled from top of the hill just like Jill - Jack's friend. Here I would like to mention that I am an Electronics Engg, a PG diploma holder in Digital design and software professional. This is just to underline my stupidity some 10 years back. (I remained quite a stupid after that as well.) The following conversation forced me to think that why I did my engineering!
Aarti (the girl with school bag): (As she explained her background) My mother works in mumbai as a full time (24x7) house maid. I don't know where my father is since he left the house. My brother and I learn in Pune. I am pursuing 2nd year Diploma in EnTC.
We: Would you like to continue the studies to get a degree?
Aarti: Yes, I will start working and do the degree as part time.
We: How? You need to attend the classes as you do now.
Aarti: Wadia College offers the part time degree courses; I enquired it when I joined the diploma course. (Really, I didn't know that)
We: And would your mother support that or would she ask you to get married?
Aarti: I'm very lucky; she asked me to concentrate on studies and get the degree. But I need to work after the diploma and support my grandpa-mother's father- as well, who supported us in our bad times. Still the conditions are not so good. Marriage is quite a long way though.
We: Why did you choose EnTC and not any other thing?
Aarti: When I was in school I loved computers, I loved to work on them for hours so my teacher insisted me to go for the further studies in computers. But then I found out that there is something (hardware) inside computer which runs it and then computers/software also have the better opportunities in bigger companies (kind of limiting the scope) but EnTC will offer me bigger area to work. (I didn't know this till I passed my degree examinations.)
We: How do you study?
Aarti: After freshening up I start my studies round about 7 and sits till 11pm with only dinner break (daily!!!)
We: How do cope up with English (as we understood that she was not very comfortable with English speaking; I wasn't either)
Aarti: Keep the dictionary with me to understand the typically technical and difficult words. Translate the topic in Marathi while reading and put on the notebook in English in my own words. (WOW, who does that?)
We: Have you studied Millman Halkias book on basic electronics?
Aarti: No, I have seen that in library though. (I am still unaware of how it looks like..)
That continued for a while..
I left the premises with some surprised expressions on my face. But was very clear about who needs more motivation.
