Don't Talk when U Drive

Saw 2 people yesterday talking on mobile phone while driving. The other noticed 4 people were simultaneously driving their vehicle and talking over phone. Also, just some time back, gotta see one dude, talking while driving. It seems that indian audience have misunderstood the "Idea" cell phone company's ad that says "Walk when U Talk". Increasing number of people are seen talking over cell phone while driving.
All know, talking over cell phone while driving distracts driver. His attention is divided and this can lead to fatal injuries. Most of the individuals will agree to the above statement, still majority of people are seen driving and talking over phone. This practice is hazardous and emerged as a challenge for road safety. People really have to abstain from attending phone calls while driving.

MY friends I appeal you all not to attend calls while are driving. U can make a difference!

Meeting an Accident

“Met with an accident” is a phrase that people read often.

“Met with a severe accident” is also a phrase that we come across.

I feel meeting an accident is an experience that is threatening. At least person isn’t sure of his survival. He isn’t sure of his limbs, bones and muscles remaining intact. It may be his last few moments of life. Claim for the accident, life insurance policy, auto insurance is secondary. Important is the condition of victim.

My experience was “Met with a severe accident that turned mild” due to many reasons. One thing that saved my life is helmet. Another thing that rescued me is my “destiny/Luck”. At the end, I am alive therefore blogging. I felt sad about my driving prowess, when I was lying on the road after the car struck me.

Another, terrifying moment: I wasn’t sure about the world when I flew into the air as a result of head-on collision with assent car in high speed.

I panicked about the destruction of my bike, when I was taken aside from the road after the accident occurred. The main concern was the fuel wastage after the bike fell. Courtesy zero balance and insufficient money to pay monthly installments.

Now, I feel lucky that I survived the accident without much damage to my body. Only a single thumb bone is fractured. Hopefully, I am okay in few short weeks to go.

Need ur wishes and blessings.

Dear Friends, I thank God and u all…………..

Rain N Me

Rain is enjoyed and welcomed everywhere and by everybody. Children and elders get a chance to enjoy Rain showers. Rainy season has great significance in India. As all know, farmer’s livelihood heavily depends on arrival of rain. In the western part of India, monsoon rain arrives in the beginning of June every year. Alas! This year monsoon showers kept farmers waiting till second week of July. The amount of rainfall predicted is well short of its average level this time. Due to scanty rainfall dams and reservoirs have hardly any water left. This situation indicates that it’s going to be hard time ahead to get good crop.
I live in the city area of Pimpri chinchwad Municipal Corporation, and not directly engaged into farming activity. I got to know about actual field condition when I visited my native place "Harnas" situated in Bhor taluka. When I decided to walk down to "Harnas" from Malwadi bypass, I saw women and elder men working in their farm. Although there's no heavy rain, still there are rain showers now and then. Farmers are busy in their farming activities, whatever they can yield for their household needs. Another thing i noticed is the small size of the farm, because of smaller fields they are unable to produce surplus which they can sell into the market. The way of farming is traditional and there's hardly any use of machines.
Apart from these realities i could see, i felt close to nature during my trail to "Harnas". I could hear cows and their siblings which I wish to keep in my memory for years. Very sweet and audible is the tweets of birds. Variety of sweet sounds made me spellbound. I spotted the yellow headed sparrows on a tree and many bird species of smaller size. Also the livestock which includes hens, goats and buffaloes where sited in course of journey. Rain showers accompanied me, while I was enjoying the pleasure of bird-watching & listening. I also want to mention the green mountains which made my trip unforgettable one. I always had a love for mountains and hilltops. Green mountains are a treat to watch in rainy season. They gift your eyes with beautiful pictures and scenery that nature-lovers die to see. However the Bhatghar dam is not filled to its normal level during this time of the year. One can see the vast bed of the dam due to lack of water. Interestingly, nature- lovers walk down into vast plains developed due to the shrunken dam-course and have great fun with their friends.
Its 08 kilometres journey from "malwadi" bypass to "Harnas". On the way, i had a chance to have little dialogues with the villagers. Just felt that these people lead a simple and straight forward life.
After reaching my destination, i enter the "Lord Vadeshwar temple" and performing the divine duties,had a prayer to the god.I wish all my wishes are showered onto me and my family. I prayed for the wellness of my family and let God's grace always stay with us. I left "Harnas" for visiting again with my complete family during the festival of "Shri Dutt Jayanti".
On the way back to "Swargate", I was just feeling elated and happy that i am been gifted by God in many ways.
