नाना पाटेकर यांचा ब्लाॅग*

*

*शिर्डी साईबाबा*
प्रत्येक वर्षीचे मिळणारे डोनेशन - ३५० करोड  + सोने  ३२  करोड, + गुंतवणूक ४२७ करोड.

*सिद्धीविनायक, मुंबई:*
पैसे - २००  करोड , FD : १२५ करोड.

*लालबागचा राजा:*
१८  करोड कमाई फक्त  गणपतीच्या  १०  दिवसातली.

गावाकडे दोन रुपये हरवले तर पोराला घेऊन भर उन्हात तो अर्धा दिवस हुडकत बसणारे शेतकरी /मजूर मी स्वतः पाहिलेत अन *त्याच मजुरांना देवाच्या दानपेटीत सढळ हाताने 5-10 रुपये टाकतानाही पाहिलंय.*

*फक्त 3 देवस्थानांची वेल्थ हजार करोडच्या आसपास आहे.* 12-12 हजारासाठी आत्महत्या करणारे शेतकरी एका बाजूला अन अडीच हजार करोड एकट्या कुंभमेळयाला ‘अलोकेट’ करणारे आमचेच सरकार एका बाजूला.

स्वतःची अजिबात परिस्थिती नसूनही देवाला साडी-चोळी-पोषाख  करणारे, दान टाकणारे, आजवर देवांच्या दानपेट्या भर-भरून देणारे गरीब शेतकरी स्वतः जेव्हा त्रासून दुर्दैवाने आत्महत्येच्या निर्णयाला पोचतात तेव्हा हिच देवस्थाने आरामात आपला बँकेत ठेवलेल्या FDचे व्याज चाखत बसलेली असतात!!

*मग ह्या गरीबांना मरताना सुद्धा २ रुपयाची मदत न करणाऱ्या विठ्ठल-तुळजाभवानी-स्वामी समर्थ-सिद्धिविनायक देवस्थानांना मी 'भिकारी' का म्हणू नये?*

मी पत्रकार नाही, जो विचार मनात जन्मला तो आहे असा Raw स्वरुपात समोर मांडला.
एखाद्या पत्रकार अथवा सच्च्या समाजकारण्याने जर या सगळ्या मंदिरांचा आतापर्यंत फुकट मिळालेला पैसा अन गुंतवणूक बाहेर काढायचं ठरवलं तर जो आकडा समोर येईल तो Digest करायची आपल्या कोणात ताकद आहे का?            

*मुळात एवढा पैसा आला कोठून? देव कामाला गेले होते की पुजारी कामाला गेले होते, का मंदिरांच्या विश्वस्तांनी कामाला जाऊन हे करोडो रुपये घाम गाळून कमवून आणले?*

*लोकांचाच पैसा ना हा? मग आता दुष्काळात, गरज असताना लोकांनाच हा पैसा थोडासा मदत म्हणून दिला तर काय फरक पडणार आहे?*

ही तर फक्त ३ देवस्थानांची नावे होती.
आळंदी- देहू- भीमाशंकर- अष्टविनायक- महालक्ष्मी- सप्तशृंगी- शनी अन शिखर शिंगणापूर-सिद्धेश्वर यांचा आजवरच्या दानपेटीतला पैसा किती असेल???
अन छोटी-छोटी तर हजारो मंदिरे आहेत आपल्या देशात, राज्यात. त्यांचे पैसे किती?

मुळात म्हणजे हा पैसा नेमका कोणाचा आहे? देव स्वतःकडे ठेवतो का हा पैसा? कि बाकीचेच लोक वर्षानुवर्षे देवाच्या नावावर हा पैसा हाणतात?
दोन मिनिट असं मानलं कि भक्तांची सोय करतात, तर तसंही नाही.
अक्कलकोट, पंढरपूर, गाणगापूरचे, गावातले सोडा नुसते मंदिरा शेजारचेच रस्ते पहा, देवाच्या गावात असूनही तोंडातून आपसूक शिवी निघून जाईल अशी परिस्थिती!

माझ्या इथं ओरडण्याने काहीच होणार नाही याची पुरेपूर जाणीव आहे मला.

*पण एक दिवस आज जन्मलेल्या या विचाराचा फायदा या पैशांच्या खऱ्या मालकांना, गरीब शेतकऱ्यांना १०० टक्के मिळवून देईन हे मात्र नक्की.*

- नाना पाटेकर

*पटलं तर पूढे forward करा आणि देशाला जागं करा.*

🇮🇳 *जय हिंद* 🇮🇳

Poem by Vishwas Nagreji

खुपच सुरेख कविता आहे.
पुन्हा वाचावी अशी कविता

*थोड जगलं पाहिजे.........!!*

आयुष्याच्या अल्बममध्ये
आठवणींचे फोटो असतात,
आणखी एक कॉपी काढायला
निगेटिव्हज मात्र शिल्लक नसतात.

गजर तर रोजचाच आहे
आळसाने झोपले पाहिजे,
गोडसर चहाचा घोट घेत
Tom & Jerry पाहिलं पाहिजे.

आंघोळ फक्त दहा मिनिटे?
एखाद्या दिवशी तास घ्या,
आरशासमोर स्वतःला
सुंदर म्हणता आलं पाहिजे.

भसाडा का असेना
आपल्याच सुरात रमलं पाहिजे,
वेडेवाकडे अंग हलवत
नाचण सुध्दा जमलं पाहिजे.

गीतेचा रस्ता योग्यच आहे
पण एखादा दिवस पाडगावकराना द्या,
रामायण मालिका नैतिक थोर
"बेवॉच" सुध्दा एन्जॉय करता आली पाहिजे.

कधी तरी एकटे
उगाचच फिरले पाहिजे,
तलावाच्या काठावर
उताणे पडले पाहिजे.

संध्याकाळी मंदिराबरोबरच
बागेत सुध्दा फिरलं पाहिजे,
"फुलपाखराच्या" सौंदर्याला
कधीतरी भुललं पाहिजे.

द्यायला कोणी नसलं
म्हणून काय झालं?
एक गजरा विकत घ्या
ओंजळ भरुन फुलांचा नुसता श्वास घ्या.

रात्री झोपताना मात्र
दोन मिनिटे देवाला द्या,
एवढया सुंदर जगण्यासाठी
नुसतं थँक्स तरी म्हणा..!!

What is mean by Blogger

Blogger:
Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be hosted in the registered custom domain of the blogger (like www.example.com).A user can have up to 100 blogs per account.
Up until May 1, 2010, Blogger allowed users to publish blogs on other hosts, via FTP. All such blogs had (or still have) to be moved to Google's own servers, with domains other than blogspot.com allowed via custom URLs. Unlike WordPress.com, Blogger allows its users to use their own domain free of charge, while WordPress.com charges around $13 to use a custom domain. Blogger cannot be installed on a web server. One has to use DNS facilities to redirect a custom URL to a blogspot domain.

Blogger on mobile devices

Blogger has launched mobile applications for users with mobile devices. Users can post and edit blogs, and also share photos and links on Blogger through their mobile devices. Not only advanced mobile devices, such as smartphones, are being considered, since users can also post blogs via traditional cell phones by SMS and MMS.

Blogger also provides dynamic mobile views for the blogging compatibility with mobile devices and smartphones. They enhance the readability accuracy on these smart devices, but editing a blog on the blogger app remains an open issue for the users.The major two mobile operating systems that Blogger focuses on are Android and iOS. Blogger allow users to edit blogs anywhere through the app and either publish the blogs or save them as drafts. Quick navigation from posts and drafts is accessible from a list. Users can attach photos by taking a picture with a Blogger app or selecting pictures from their photo galleries. Sharing current locations on posts is also possible by tabbing My Location bar and adding locations. Users can also share photos and links directly to Blogger.


Limitations

Blogger has the following limitations on content storage and bandwidth, per user account:
  • Blog description – 500 characters max; Hyper Text Markup Language markup not supported
  • Number of blogs – 100 blogs per account
  • Number of labels – 5,000 unique labels per blog (an increase from the original 2,000), 20 unique labels per post (with at most 200 characters)
  • Number of pictures – Ordinarily, Up to 1 GB of total storage, shared with Picasa Web. If you've upgraded to Google+, your photos will be stored in Google Photos, where you have 15GB of storage space shared with Gmail and Drive. However, if one has signed up for Google+ account, images less than 16 megapixels (4920 x 3264) would not be counted to this storage limit. For users not signed up for Google+, 800 x 800 pixels and below images would not be included in this storage space.
  • Number of posts – There is no limit on the number of posts one can have in one blog. However, only 50 posts can be published per day before a user is required to go through a check process.
  • Size of pages – Individual pages (the main page of a blog or archive pages) are limited to 1 MB
  • Size of pictures – If posted via Blogger Mobile, limited 250 KB per picture;[33] posted pictures are scaled to 1600px
  • Number of Pages – There is no limit on the number of pages you can have on one blog
  • Team members (those who can write to a blog) – 100 invitations per blog
  • Favicon – Any square image less than 100KB
  • Account Suspension: If your site violating any terms of service, your site will be suspended by Blogger without any notice. Sometimes repeated violation may cause your whole Google account to be suspended.
On February 18, 2010, Blogger introduced "auto-pagination", which limited the number of posts that could be displayed on each page, often causing the number of posts on the main page to be less than that specified by the user and leading to a hostile response from some users.
Private blogs are limited to only 100 members.

Unknown Indian Cricketer Paul Valthaty

Paul Chandrashekar Valthaty (born 7 December 1983) is an Indian cricketer who played for Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League.

Early years and personal life

Valthaty was born and raised in the Borivali district of Mumbai.
Valthaty was trained in Dilip Vengsarkar academy in Mumbai. He was then recommended by Vengsarkar to Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) president Mr. Chamundeswarnath.

Career

Early domestic career

Valthaty had a nondescript career till then, since making his way up the levels of age group cricket in Mumbai during the late 1990s. He made India's Under-19 squad to the 2002 World Cup in New Zealand with the likes of Irfan Pathan and Parthiv Patel where an injury to his eye in the game against Bangladesh halted his development. He couldn't make the breakthrough into senior cricket for years, and got just one opportunity for Mumbai, a one-dayer in 2006. There was no high-profile cricket for him for another few years, till Rajasthan Royals punted on him in the 2009 season, where he played a couple of matches. That earned him a place in Mumbai's Twenty20 side, and he turned in a few powerful performances for them, which led to a contract with Kings XI Punjab in 2011.

Indian Premier League:

Paul Valthaty was picked by Kings XI Punjab as a backup to expensive international buys at a player auction in January.He was the opening batsmen for Kings XI Punjab, had an outstanding game in the 2011 Indian Premier League against the reigning champions Chennai Super Kings. Valthaty raced to 120 not out in 63 balls as the Kings XI Punjab chased down the mammoth 189-run target with six wickets and five balls to spare at Mohali. It was the first hundred of IPL 2011 and 13th overall and this century is his first fastest century. It remains the 8th highest IPL score ever, after, Chris Gayle's 175* & 128, Brendon McCullum's 158*, AB de Villiers's 133* and 129*, Murali Vijay's 127 and Virender Sehwag's 122. In his next game Paul scored a fabulous 75 of 47 deliveries hitting 5 sixes and 8 fours after achieving the best bowling figures for any Kings XI Punjab bowler with 4 for 29. His all round performance resulted in a big win for his team. He played a pacey innings in his next match scoring 46 off just 31 deliveries with three classic sixes. With his initial blitzkrieg, the team crossed the fifty in just three overs, a record in IPL history which was later beaten by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their second match against the Kochi Tuskers Kerala in the same season.

Both older and newer Rs 10 coins are valid: RBI

Both older and newer Rs 10 coins are valid: RBI

Meanwhile, banking facilities returned to normalcy in Meghalaya with few people seen lining up banks and ATMs.

BY: PTI | SHILLONG |Updated: November 21, 2016 10:36 Pm
The RBI, however, clarified that from time to time coins were issued with little changes.

Amid confusion over the validity of Rs 10 coins, the Reserve Bank of India today asserted that all such coins were legal tenders. “The Reserve Bank of India advise members of the public not to give credence to such ill-informed notions and ignore them and continue to accept these (Rs 10) coins as legal tender in all their transactions without any hesitation,” RBI Principal Adviser Alpana Killiwala said.

Watch What Else Is Making News 

Meanwhile, banking facilities returned to normalcy in Meghalaya with few people seen lining up banks and ATMs. However, the claims of “non-validity” of Rs 10 coins by rumour mongers has created confusion in the minds of people. Some ill-informed or uninformed persons who suspect the genuineness of such coins are creating doubts in the minds of ordinary people including traders, shop-keepers etc, thus impeding the circulation of these coins in certain pockets of the country and causing avoidable confusion, Killiwala said.

Circulation of Rs 10 coins has been affected in the state following claims that these coins have been taken out of the market as was done to Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. The RBI, however, clarified that from time to time coins were issued with little changes.

“One such change was introduction of ‘Rupee symbol’ in coins in July 2011. An instance of this is the `10′ coins with rupee symbol and the same denomination coin without rupee symbol,” the official said.

Killiwala said both are legal tender and equally valid for transactions though they may look a little different. Those refusing to accept the coins may face action, a police official said.

गूगलचे सीईओ सुंदर पिचाई यांनी सांगीतलेला किस्सा


गूगलचे सीईओ सुंदर पिचाई यांनी सांगीतलेला किस्सा त्यांच्याच शब्दात देत आहे.
.
‘एकदा मी एका हॉटेलात कॉफी प्यायला गेलो होतो. माझ्या जवळच्या टेबलावर एक ग्रुप बसला होता. त्यात काही महिला पण होत्या. अचानक एक झुरळ उडत उडत येऊन एका महिलेच्या अंगावर बसले. ते झुरळ बघून ती महिला घाबरून किंचाळायला व थयथयाट करायला लागली. तिचा हा थयथयाट मिनीटभर तरी चालू होता. मोठ्या मुष्किलीने तिने ते झुरळ झटकून टाकले तर ते झुरळ त्याच ग्रुपमधल्या दुसर्याल महिलेच्या अंगावर जाऊन बसले. मग त्या महिलेने पण किंचाळायला व थयथयाट करायला सुरवात केली. तेवढ्यात त्या हॉटेलचा वेटर तेथे आला. त्या दुसर्याथ महेलेने पण मोठ्या मुष्किलीने ते झुरळ झटकून टाकले तर ते झुरळ त्या वेटरच्या अंगावर जाऊन बसले. मला वाटले की आता वेटर पण थयथयाट करणार. पण तसे काही झाले नाही. ते झुरळ अंगावर पडताच तो वेटर स्तब्ध उभा राहीला. अजिबात हालचाल न करता त्या झुरळाच्या मुव्हमेन्ट्स बघत राहीला. योग्य वेळ येताच त्याने ते झुरळ झटक्यात पकडले आणि हॉटेबाहेर फेकून दिले. मी विचार करू लागलो की जी गोष्ट त्या वेटरला जमली ती गोष्ट त्या दोन महिलांना का जमली नाही?
.
माझ्या लक्षात आले की त्या दोन महिला घाबरून ‘रिऍक्ट’ (React) होत होत्या तर त्या वेटरने ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ (Respond) दिला होता.
.
त्या दोन महिला झुरळाला घाबरून ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत नव्हत्या तर आपण झुरळाच्या समस्येला तोंड देऊ शकत नाही या विचाराने भितीने गर्भगळीत होऊन ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत होत्या.
.
पण वेटरचे तसे नव्हते. आपण झुरळाच्या या समस्येला तोंड देऊ शकतो याची त्याला खात्री असल्यामूळे त्याने ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ देण्याचे ठरवले होते.’
.
तात्पर्य
.
पहिली गोष्ट म्हणजे ‘रिऍक्ट’ (React) आणि ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ (Respond) या शब्दांमधला फरक लक्षात घ्या.
.
आयुष्यात कोणतीही समस्या आली की ‘आपण ही समस्या सोडवू शकत नाही’ या भितीपोटी माणूस ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत असतो. कुठलीही समस्या आली की तिला ‘रिऍक्ट’ होणे हा जरी मनुष्यस्वभाव असला तरी त्यामध्ये आपली कमजोरी दिसत असते. कारण मनुष्य जेव्हा ‘रिऍक्ट’ होतो तेव्हा तो बहुतेकपणे चुकिच्या माहितीमूळे, चुकीच्या विचारांमूळे, चुकीच्या गायडन्स मूळे, आत्मविश्वास नसल्यामूळे किंवा चुकिच्या संगतीने ‘रिऍक्ट’ होत असतो.
.
पण आपण या समस्येला तोंड देऊ शकतो अशी जेव्हा माणसाची भावना होते तेव्हा तो त्या समस्येला ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ द्यायच्या, म्हणजेच तोंड द्यायच्या प्रयत्नांना सुरवात करतो. मग तो यासाठी योग्य ती माहिती गोळा करतो, योग्य व्यक्तिंचा सल्ला घेतो, योग्य विचार मनात आंणतो, मन शांत आणि खंबीर ठेवतो. शांत चित्ताने पण दृढ निश्चयाने त्या संकटाचा मुकाबला करू लागतो.

आयुष्यात अनेक समस्या येत असतात. अनेक झुरळे अंगावर बसत असतात. या समस्यारूपी झुरळांना ‘रिऍक्ट’ होऊन थयथयाट करत बसायचे का ‘रिस्पॉन्ड’ देऊन त्यांना हाकलून द्यायचे हे तुमचे तुम्हीच ठरवायचे नाही का?

Motivational Stories(The Important Things In Life)

Motivational Stories

The Important Things In Life

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”

“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”

“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
