Hope will dawn on you.



Hi
I heard yesterday a commonplace comment from a young IT professional returning from USA for a few days to Pune.
“What a rotten country is this?”
And yes, the venom was spitted on commonly perceived and agreed upon villain, the politician, and on the proved rotten systems here.
On backdrop of this irritated outbreak I wondered what inspired William Carey to leave his country in 1790 and live all his life in mud called India?
How come he migrated to India from much developed England?  Why the system could not defeat him?
And why he did never ever grumble like my beloved IT fellow?
I wished this young fellow has read my novel on William Carey.
For all of those who are sincere in their outrage for sinking India, I pray, please read this novel.
Hope will dawn on you.

The D Day is here.


The D Day is here.
My four books are now available on Kindle.
Detailed synopsis is available on Kindle website.
Here are few liners for each book.
1: My beloved darling: A booklet for a 12-13 years old girl. Mom is talking to her about oncoming menarche.
2: A Tale of Fengado: An Award winning pre-historical, pre-social novel.  When Margaret Meed a noted Anthropologist was asked, when did she declare that Human Civilization began here at that spot of excavation, she answered, when she gets a healed femur bone! It’s a story of that first ever human being named – Fengado.
3: Sentence of death: An award winning social novel. There is a similarity. When HIV destroys the God given immunity the person takes up her cross, and when the religious fanaticism destroys the  collective conscience of a  community, it starts walking towards the cross. The novel depicts this very similarity and the complex fabric of Indian middle class.
4: William Carey – a Saga: William Carey was a cobbler, with education till standard four; who came to India in 1790 against dictate of East India Company.  Carey was a linguist with working knowledge of ninety languages.  He was professor of Sanskrit, Marathi and Bengali. Carey himself taught astronomy, botany, and forestry besides, of course, languages and the Bible. He single handedly fought evil social system of sati. He was the rare person whom system could not defeat.

Here are the first 5 stars for my Book on Kindle by Tina Elders.


I am pleasantly surprised. Here are the first 5 stars for my Book on Kindle by Tina Elders.
It says
 “A Sometimes-Difficult Subject that is Well-Presented, March 28, 2012
For Moms out there who are struggling to find the words and tone to use with your daughters during this wonderful and frightening time for her, this is an excellent book“
I am thrilled.
Twenty five years back late intellectual Mrs.  Durgabai Bhagwat described  my Marathi version of this booklet  as - Adhunik Streeche Upanishad. (Scripture of a modern woman)
The booklet is short, to the point and in language a mother uses. It’s a dialogue. And it explains about menarche to 12 years old darling daughter, written as if a mom is talking to her daughter.
It also advises her to avoid sex till she gets mature enough to select a partner for her, has decided about her own career and has become self-sufficient.
I was wondering how the American, British women and their daughters take it! I was also curious whether the booklet is a necessity in the first place in such a well literate English speaking society with such a high level of school coaching with emphasis on sex education. Here in India the schools don’t teach the subject officially.
I am happy.
My drive to make girls well informed about menses has been quite a success in Marathi, with 13000 copies sold, (Normal Marathi book sells hardly 2000 copies) and now there is a flicker of hope in English press.
I am sure now after these five stars that my appeal for this booklet will be well taken by thousands of moms all over the globe.
Appeal: Intuitively every mom irrespective of her culture and country wants to advise her 13-14 years daughter the ‘chastity’. See the impact of the present culture! When I searched the word ‘chastity’ on Word thesaurus, the result was blank! BLANK.
This is how in this age of post-modernism and relativism we all are under influence of a politically correct world.
We are in difficult age.
Value based scientific information is the only answer to this dilemma. And if this information is given by mom herself, it does wonder. This booklet is meant for that!
I have a dream that this booklet will be used by girls all across the globe irrespective of her country, language and culture. I dream of every woman becoming truly independent, mature and healthy individual, totally in control of her own body, mind and spirit. Free from peer pressure for unwanted sexual relationships and fears! Free from unwanted pregnancies, STI and of course HIV!
Join in my dream. Will you?
Thanks and regards,
Dr Arun Gadre.M.D.

I am fearful of wise men and women.

Here I am quite puzzled with news creeping in.
I was a mute spectator in shares.
I earned around 25000 in shares and lost 75000
I was quite nervous when I gained and was quite relieved  when I lost and got out of the bus once for all.
I was nervous because I was sure that I earn in a matka/ gamble
No where I was seeing a very strong foundation of Indian economy.
I am one of those RATS who leave the sinking boat.
I left rural India when it was and is sinking.
I was very very nervous when I saw that idiotic glee in all around me in cities when they were earning in shares.
and how they looked at me when I tried to object.
a sort of a look you give to a person out of his mind.
I could read only greed in those eyes.
Money which is not earned by labor - physical or mental, I shivered.
All our MBA and IITans happily engaged in this new finance management institutes.
I wondered what they are doing in gambling houses?
Making use of intelligence to hunt some share where the gamble will be of financial help?
Money flowed like a invisible Satanic hand and no one knew from where it comes and to where it goes?
And when the news comes that investor has lost millions I wonder where the millions have gone?
I mean if every one has lost and none has gained where the money had gone?
Or was it not there but an illusion?
I do not know.
I know one thing.
we all have lost not money but balance.
we have become ourselves Phantom Gods.
we want to control our lives
we want to believe that we are Gods.
Since Nietzsche declared that God is dead we started searching for God, we tried in technology, in ideology and in hedonism, we did not find.
Now we ourselves have become Gods.
And we had got that magical illusion of heaven here on the earth.
we have detached ourselves in to a cocooned jail of self deceiving selfishness.
Share market is our nervous system
Now we are helpless.
our values as beings have eroded
our wisdom has evaporated,
there will be new pundits I am sure because we do not want to be helpless fools.
we will devise some more cocoons of so called wise-ness, so called financial instruments.
we will like to cheat ourselves, that is our breathing air.
psychologists will tell us how it is important to pamper our egos.
never we shall feel inadequate they will declare
we can become madly egoistic but never accept the guilt
it is a sin to accept guilt
its OK if I feel little madish.
 
Do we?
Let wise men rule again
we cherish that thought of being in safe hands again
will we be safe again?
I am fearful in this glittering world of molls, cars, credit cards,  pubs,   colleges and schools.
millions of eyes are around me, with a hatred in their eyes because they don't have all these things.
they want it all and that to without having to labor physically and intellectually.
If wise men and women of the earth can have it all without any labor why cant they?
and if not,
they can also have illusions too
may be not of increasing wealth with rising shares
may be illusions of a martyr!
and wise men have evolved technology too.
after all if life itself is an illusion, well, why not take away?
If there is no absolute truth and every one is God UN to himself or herself what is good and what is bad if not relative?
 
I shiver not because of terrorists but I am more fearful of intellectuals now a days
I have seen that glee in those eyes when shares were growing
I do see that madish wish to take control when the shares are crashing.
I shiver
I am really fearful of all these wise men and women!
 
May God deliver me out of these wise peoples hands I pray
