आयुष्याच्या प्रवासात भेटलेला … संतोष
साधारण २०१७ चा हा काळ. यूपीएससीची पूर्व परीक्षा नापास झाल्यावर ‘यशदा’ या संस्थेमधून हकालपट्टी झाल्यानंतर मी पुण्याच्या पेठेमधे रहायचा निर्णय घेतला. आर्थिक परिस्थिति बेताची असल्यामूळे या आधी कधीच ‘क्लास’ तर करता आला नव्हताच पण नाशिकही सुटत नव्हते. नाशिकला असल्या पासून पुण्यातील प्रवीण चव्हाण सरांचे खुपदा नाव ऐकले होते. त्यामूळे आता त्यांच्याकडे राज्यशास्त्र या माझ्या वैकल्पिकContinue reading “आयुष्याच्या प्रवासात भेटलेला … संतोष”

Renaissance State – A book review
MAHARASHTRA, when we hear this word, the image of sword-wielding Shivaji Maharaj, riding on a horse comes to our mind. This beloved King of Maharashtra, though born in the medieval era, had a distinctively modern outlook and unparalleled compassion. There is no doubt that he deserves a lion’s share in the history of Maharashtra. AndContinue reading “Renaissance State – A book review”
एकमेवाद्वितीय इरफान !
‘अभिनेता इरफान खानचं मुंबईत निधन’ ही बातमी वाचली आणि अचानक डोळे पाणावले. आपल्या आयुष्यात असे खूप कमी वेळा होतं, एखाद्या व्यक्तीला आपण कधी आयुष्यात भेटलोही नसतो, त्याचा आपल्याला कधी सहवासही लाभलेला नसतो पण तरीही त्याच्या निधनाच्या बातमीने मन गहिवरुन येतं. ती व्यक्ती यापुढे आपल्याला परत कुठेच दिसणार नाही हे कल्पून मन काय माहित का पण फारContinue reading “एकमेवाद्वितीय इरफान !”

They’re already here
I was waiting for my friend Pratik while sitting in a Madras cafe. Pratik is a friend since the school days. He was very good in studies, passionate about science and also curious about socio-political happenings around him. On the other hand, I loved only social science. Cricket and current affairs were the reasons behindContinue reading “They’re already here”

CONSENT is a fundamental element of human relations. It is that positive action which makes a range of activities morally right that would otherwise be wrongful. It distinguishes between bondage and employment, borrowing and stealing, permissible sexual relations and rape.
