Posted on September 19, 2017 By Rohit BapatPosted in Foreign Return, Literature, MemoirsTagged Rolla, US, USA1 Comment

Towards the end of my graduation some new events occurred. My adviser all of a sudden started telling me that the…

On 20th Jan 2017 controversial Trump took oath as 45th President of United States of America (USA), which is not united on one topic right now i.e. Trump himself.

Now, it is essential to mention that, although I was working in TCS, I did not save the money (not even used it wisely). So, all my expense had to be taken up by my parents. I was in no condition to pay for fees but, because I did not save any money I was…

So I boarded the flight somewhere around midnight. I was feeling sleepy and excited at the same time. It was Delta Mumbai to Atlanta, approximately 15 hrs. It was my second international travel but was big. This journey was going to change my life upside down. Somewhere behind all these thoughts I was constantly thinking…

NOTA नर्मदेतला अति शिक्षित गोटा! .. दिवस असे की मोदी हिंदू नाही, देवा हिंदू नाही!

हिंदू बंधू भगिनींनो NOTA चा विचार करणाऱ्या हिंदू बंधू भगिनींनो.. काही दिवसांपूर्वी देवाभाऊने एका प्रसिद्ध आणि तथाकथित लोकप्रिय (?) ट्विटर हॅन्डल बद्दल, विधानपरिषदेत एक विधान केले. ज्याला समाज माध्यमातील सेलिब्रिटी मंडळींनी तोडून, मोडून, काटून आणि छाटून त्या वाक्याला वापरले. त्यांनी वापरले यात मला काही विशेष वाटत नाही. कारण, स्वत:ची प्रसिद्धी व्हावी, अनेकांनी आपले म्हणणे ऐकावे,… […]

अभिमन्यू मेला आहे! देवाभाऊ लढत आहे आणि परीक्षा समर्थकांची आहे!

हे वीरांनो!चौकटी तोडा, सत्यसूर्य ढगांच्या आड गेला आहे कवाडे उघडा, कुरुक्षेत्रवरती अभिमन्यू मेला आहे!ज्यांना नीतिचे भग्नावशेष उचलायचे त्यांनी उचला सत्वाच्या मंदिरातील देव दरोडेखोरांनी नेला आहे.. अधर्मी, सत्तापिपासू आणि रक्तपिपासू कौरवांनी पांडवांचे मनोबल तोडण्यासाठी, त्यांना नमवण्यासाठी अभिमन्यूला युद्धाच्या नियमांविरूद्ध घेरून मारले. कदाचित कुरुक्षेत्रवरती अभिमन्यूचे पार्थिव पाहून भगवान श्री कृष्ण बहुदा असंच काही म्हटले असतील. पांडवांना दु:खाने… […]

देवेंद्र फडणवीस आणि योगी आदित्यनाथ

देवेंद्र फडणीस, योगी आणि एक किस्सा महाराष्ट्रात जरा कुठे काही खुट्ट झालं की “देवेंद्र फडणवीस फार मवाळ आहेत”, “देवेंद्र फडणवीस काहीच करत नाहीत” असे सूर कानावर पडतात. हल्ली हल्ली तर “देवेंद्र फडणवीस यांना घरी बसवा आणि योगी आदित्यनाथ यांना महाराष्ट्रात आणा”, “योगींसारखे बुलडोझर चालवा”. मी प्रांजळपणे मान्य करतो की मी देखील या वाटेवर काही पावले… […]

सोयीचे “आंदोलनास्त्र” आणि देवेंद्र फडणवीस नावाचे अचूक प्रत्युत्तर

कंटाळवाणे आंदोलनास्त्र कोणताही सिनेमा किंवा नाटक कंटाळवाणं कधी होतं? जेव्हा त्यातील घटना कल्पनेपेक्षा जास्त predictable म्हणजेच अपेक्षित घडतात. उदाहरणार्थ व्हिलन स्वतःची माणसं पाठवून, हिरोईनला त्रास देणार, मग व्हिलन तिला येऊन वाचवणार आणि हिरो बनून पुढे हिरोईनला त्रास देणार! सध्या हाच घटनाक्रम महाराष्ट्राच्या राजकारणात बघायला मिळत आहे. त्यात भर विरोधकांनी पोसलेली “पत्रकार” नावाची एककल्ली तुणतुणं वाजवणारी… […]

अमृता फडणवीस, देवेंद्र फडणवीस आणि सामाजिक अपरिपक्वता

अमृता फडणवीस आणि देवाभाऊंचे चाहते ज्या दिवसापासून देवेंद्र फडणवीस “देवाभाऊ” महाराष्ट्राच्या राजकीय पटलावर एक महत्त्वाचे नेते म्हणून नावारूपाला आलेले आहेत, तेव्हापासून त्यांच्या पत्नी अमृता फडणवीस यांच्याबद्दल चर्चा सुरू झालेली आहे. सर्वगुणसंपन्न कोणीच नाही. पण महाराष्ट्रात दुर्दैवाने काही लोकांना सर्वगुणसंपन्न होण्याची मुभा मिळालेली नसते. विशेषतः जर ती व्यक्ती लोकप्रिय नेत्याच्या कुटुंबातील असेल तर. अमृता फडणवीस सोशल… […]
