Nitin Sirsat Blog

एक मुंबई मध्ये राहणार साधारण कुटुंब. कुटुंबा मध्ये नवरा त्याचे नाव नितीन बायको तिचे नाव श्रद्धा त्यांची ३ वर्षाची मुलगी तन्वी आणि त्याचे आई बाबा. नितीन एका मल्टि नॅशनल कंपनी मध्ये सॉफ्टवेअर इंजिनीरयर श्रद्धा गृहणी व त्याचे वडील रिटायर्ड सरकारी कारकून खूप जीवाचे हाल करून त्यांनी नितीन ला शिकवलं. नितीन ने त्याच्या मनाने लग्न केलं म्हणून त्याच्या आई च आणि श्रद्धा च पटत नव्हतं . नेहमी काही ना काही दोघी मध्ये सुरु असायचं. नितीन ला रोज लोकल चा प्रवास हा प्रवास त्याला खूप कंटाळवाणा वाटायचा त्या मुळे घरी आला कि चीड चीड सुरु व्हायची पण तन्वी जवळ आली कि सर्व विसरून तिच्या सोबत गप्पा गोष्टी हसन खेळणं सुरु असायचं.

नितीन ला त्याच्या कंपनी मध्ये बढती मिळाली आणि आता त्याचा पगार पण छान वाढला होता. नितीन ला नवीन कार घायची होती त्या साठी त्याने शो रूम ला विचारपूस केली आणि कार च फायनल झालं आणि बुकिंग केली.गाडीच फायनान्स पण पास झालं एका महिन्या नंतर नवीन कोरी करकरीत गाडी दारासमोर उभी होती सर्व आनंदी होते. नितीन ऑफिस ला जाण्याच्या अगोदर रोज तन्वी ला घेऊन कार धुवायचा आणि पुसायचा हा त्याच्या नित्यक्रम झाला होता. ऑफिस वरून घरी आला कि जेवणा नंतर सर्वाना फेरफटका आणि आईस्क्रीम. सर्व काही सुरळीत सुरु होत. जवळपास ६ महिने हा नित्यक्रम चालला.

रविवार दिवस होता सकाळी उठून तन्वी ला घेऊन गाडी स्वच्छ करायला निघाला त्याच्या लक्षात आला कि कार चा समोर चा टायर पंचर आहे तो घरा मध्ये गेला आणि टूल किट घेऊन आला तो टायर बदलवत होता आणि तन्वी पेचकस घेऊन गाडी मागे गेली. थोड्या वेडाने नितीन च्या लक्षात आले कि कर.. कर...कर.. आवाज येत आहे तो डाव्या साईड वरून उजव्या साईड ने गेला आणि बघतो तर काय तन्वी चक्क पेचकस ने काही तरी ओरखडत होती. त्याला खूप राग आला आणि हात मधली पकड त्याने फेकून मारली आणि चुकीने ती तन्वी च्या डाव्या हाताच्या करंगळी ला लागली. व तिच्या करंगळी मधून रक्त वाहू लागल. तो तिला घेऊन दवाखान्या मध्ये गेला सर्व जण जमा झालेत. सर्व जण रडत होते व मनातल्या मनात नितीन सुद्धा खूप रडत होता. १ तास झाला डॉक्टर बाहेर आले आणि म्हणाले कि तन्वी ची करंगळी आम्ही वाचऊ नाही शकत ती हातापासून ८० टक्के वेगळी झाली आहे. श्रद्धा जीवाचा आकांत करत होती आणि खूप रडत होती. नितीन ला खूप पच्छाताप झाला होता रागाने त्याच्या मुलीची करंगडी घेतली होती.

१ आठवडा नंतर तन्वी ला रजा मिळाली. या १ आठवड्या मध्ये नितीन ने कार कडे पाहले सुद्धा नाही. तन्वी नितीन ला पप्पा चला ना आपण कार क्लीन करू म्हणून हट्ट करायला लागली नाईलाजाने तो तिला घेऊन कार जवळ गेला कार साफ करू लागला डावी बाजू झाली आता उजव्या बाजूला साफ करू लागला त्याला ते ओरखडे दिसले त्याने ते क्लीन केले आणि बघतो तर काय तन्वी ला जवळ घेऊन खूप खूप रडू लागला तिला काही कडेना. कारण त्या ओरडखड्याने लिहले होते I love my Dad .

तात्पर्य असे आहे कि आपण काही काही गोष्टी ला आपल्या माणसा पेक्षा जास्त महत्व देतो. नितीन कार पुन्हा घेऊ शकतो पण तो त्याच्या मुलीची करंगडी वापस नाही आणू शकत. राग हा माणसा चा सर्वात मोठा शत्रू आहे. म्हणून रागा वर नियंत्रण करा.

Less than two weeks after Google first showcased Android Jelly Bean at its annual I/O developers’ conference, the operating system is starting to make its way onto Android-powered smartphones and tablets.

Google announced the rollout Tuesday evening in a post on its Google+ social network. Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ devices, the post said, would be the first to get the update. Jelly Bean is slated to come to the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, and Motorola Xoom soon after, and it will be featured on the new Google Nexus 7 tablet.

Compared with its predecessor, Android Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean has improved photo sharing and viewing functionalities; packs a better keyboard and smarter predictive typing; and allows for more streamlined personalization of one’s home screen.

Jelly Bean, version 4.1 of the Android OS, also includes a redesign of how Google Search looks and works on mobile devices.

July 12 (Bloomberg) — It’s the most-asked question by consumers about any new tech gadget: “Should I get this now or is something better coming along soon?”

Adding an RSS feed to a blog on blogger could not be any easier. The latest version of Blogger makes it much simpler for anyone to add and move page elements and modules, including RSS feeds.

Newspapers have often explained the presence of insecticides and pesticides on our food and its effect on humans in the long run. The infamous 'rail farms' of Mumbai - farms located alongside railway tracks where food is grown using drain water - has often made it to top news in our papers. However, not much is done in this regard. Until now! The eighth episode of Satyamev Jayate shall hopefully change things around as it created a tremendous impact with the startling facts and reports. Definitely one of the most hard-hitting episodes of Satyamev Jayate!

The jolt comes in the beginning itself when Dr Rashmi Sanghi revealed that the poisonous endosulfan was present in breast milk of certain mothers and that too, believe it or not, 800% more than the permissible limit! Obviously, the toxins made their way into the mother's body through the food she consumed - fruits, vegetables, food grains etc - which is deemed 'nutritious'! If the consumers are suffering, what about the farmers who grow these crops and also live near their farms? Aamir Khan then exposed the problems faced by inhabitants at Kasargod, Kerela where pesticides was sprayed on crops for 25 long years resulting in some of the most shocking cases among the inhabitants. Children were born with deformed limbs, eyes, cerebral palsy etc while the others suffered from chronic diseases, regular miscarriages (some women reportedly suffered it as many as 10 times) and even cancer. The culprit - endosulfan. 

In the northern part of the country, a passenger train runs from Bhatinda, Punjab to Bikaner, Rajasthan and is regularly boarded by sick farmers affected by the use of pesticides and who get cheap treatment in Rajasthan. Majority of the victims suffer from cancer and hence the name 'Cancer Train'. Both these instances have been widely reported by newspapers across the country but sadly didn't make an impact at all on governments and general public. 

Many farmers that were interviewed revealed that they don't use any toxins on a portion of farm land and use the food grown there for themselves and their families! The rest of the production, where toxins were sprayed, is sold to the dealers which make their way to our markets! A question that arises is - how will we protect the crops and plantations from pests if pesticides are not sprayed on them? How will our productivity increase, especially when our population is growing day by day? This was also echoed by Rajju Shroff who runs United Phosphorus Ltd, the largest pesticide company in India. However, he went on to claim that pesticide is indispensible and without its use, farmers might even commit suicide! He made many more such claims, which led Aamir to break into an unexpected guffaw, the first in these eight episodes! Also, this was the first time that disagreement cropped up between guests on the shows and even argued to prove their point. 

Shroff's points were obviously baseless and this was expected since he ran the biggest pesticide establishment and couldn't speak against its use. However, Aamir wonderfully proved that our food can be grown sans harmful toxins. Dr G V Ramanjaneyelu from Hyderabad explained his work in villages of Andhra Pradesh wherein crops were successfully grown without pesticides. The pesticides cost a bomb but Dr Ramanjaneyelu's Non-Pesticide Management (NPM) products cost as little as Rs 5-15! Towards the north-east, the state of Sikkim has put a ban on the pesticides and is in many ways the 'first organic state of the country'. In both Andhra Pradesh and Sikkim, productivity didn't suffer. Same goes for Kasargod, where endosulfan was banned in 2000 after which, production remained the same and health problems among the inhabitants too subsided. 

Sadly, awareness about NPM is negligible in our country. Subsidies need to be implemented on organic farming and use of insecticides need to be stopped on an immediate basis. There's anyways enough stress and other kinds of pollution that is harming us. We don't want our foods to be harmful as well. Let's all raise a voice!

The actor-turned-chat show host discussed the issue with a studio audience composed entirely of men

“Patriarchy has defined masculinity such that men can’t cry even when their mothers die,” says an activist on the seventh episode of Satyamev Jayate. Aamir Khan adds, “I cry a lot.” The studio audience, composed entirely of men – the only women present are the victims – laughs nervously. You laugh too but realise that there’s a huge truth hidden behind that one statement. You recall all the other episodes when Aamir would shed tears listening to a victim recall his or her plight. Suddenly it’s no more about just being a sympathetic host or a good actor. It’s become the basis of changing patriarchal thought, the same thought that leads to domestic violence against women.


The best thing about this episode – which dealt with domestic violence – is the way Aamir brought out the fact that men are not born aggressors and all men are not violent. Instead of taking the easy way out of demonising the men and deifying the women, Aamir took a more balanced approach. He brought forward the viewpoints of women who have stayed in abusive marriages for several years, men who happily admit to browbeating their women, a male police officer who is working hard to end this crime and admits that change has to begin from his own team, activists who work for empowering women, and the men in the studio audience who have their own take on masculinity. Patriarchal thought about masculinity and the role of women in society is what causes men to behave violently and women to take it quietly. Aamir insisted towards the end of the show that it’s that thought that needs to be changed, and the change has to begin with the men. It’s a huge statement to make and the fact that he had the guts to do it on national television will hopefully turn the tide in a few households at least.
