20 years of being BE Mechanical...(2001-2021) Part II

20 years of being BE Mechanical...(2001-2021) Part I

 Journey of COEP and staying at grand parents place in Pune... 

She stayed with her grand parents who were retired and used to stay near, Nal stop. Her grand father was a very strict self made disciplined man, who used to expect same behavior from others. हाती घ्याल ते तडीस न्याल हे त्यांचे ब्रीदवाक्य He had kept conditions which in turn helped her to be successful, that she must secure distinction in every semester for bright future prospects and must be home before 7pm. This helped her setting up the time boundary limit and follow it viscously till today. She used to go to college by PMT bus. Initially she felt homesick a lot, but simply overcome that by studying hard, visiting Nashik almost every weekend. Immediately after settling in college, there were interviews for Mechanical Sandwich Branch (3rd year 1st semester and 4th year 2nd semester in industrial training) she had applied for Telco (Tata Motors now), with her were her classmates from convent schools, central schools, staying in Pune a big city compared to Nashik a small town that time. But her technical ability took her through the interview. That was the joy of earning while learning kept her motivated. 

Her grandpa hated watching TV, movies and going by auto rickshaw. That cultivated the habit of long walks into her. Every evening she used to walk, all the way from Nal stop to Kesari wada or Maharahtra Mandal Tilak road, Sometime to Cummins college hostel in Karve Nagar to meet her school friends Or sometimes to MIT college, Paud road to meet her diploma friends. Morning walks with Aditee! This way she explored the avenues of Pune in different directions. Her visits and stays to relatives and friends staying in Pune, made her life enjoyable and memorable. 

Her grandpa was very particular about financial part..हिशोब. She used to help her grandma in many ways, in household work. Sometimes both of them used to go to shopping grocery and vegetables. Her grandma not very keen of walking used to take auto rickshaw and then while giving the expenditure accounts, the girl would hide it from her grandpa and tell that they spent the money on vegetables, डेक्कन ला भाजी खूप च महाग होती. 😉 or we had coconut water and all... But that calculative mind of my grandpa would understand... But he helped me in keeping own finances and accounting up to date. 

In the college front she was doing good. Achieved her targeted distinction in 2nd year's first semester with above average marks in the villain's of the semester😃 M3 and EEE. She jelled with her batchmates. And came one semester results!!! and she was weeping like a hell as she got only 63%... some other friends of her who had ATKT in some subjects very happier than her and thought she has failed😂...She was afraid of her grandpa.. But he was calm and composed. He hated failures.. but surprisingly didn't say a word. 

She couldn't enjoy the college life in COEP as much as she enjoyed it in diploma. But never the less it shaped her career.

Bosch Dishwasher Review and Buying guide

This blog is just my review about product usage. I am not getting paid for writing this review. These are my own observations. In developing country like India, where labour availability is not an issue like developed countries, service industry is at blossom. Every household has minimum of one house maid (Kamwali bai) to take care of Sweeping, mopping floor (Zadu Pocha) and cleaning utensils (Bartan Manjana). Olden days there used to be one more work i.e. washing clothes (Kapada). Thanks to the Industrial revolution and development, manual work has been reduced to a big extends and now Washing Machines may be fully automatic or semi automatic has reduced the load of household labour. But automating the utensils cleaning work was somehow a neglected area and less focused one till last few years. But thanks to the conversion from Developing to Developed country and Make In India vision 2020, development in automation of Utensils washing area to suit Indian cooking is taking place a

 माझी आजी ..  निर्मला ताई मराठे आज आज्जीला (निर्मला ताई मराठे) ना जाऊन एक वर्ष पूर्ण झालं...ती गेली तेव्हा ८८ वर्षांची होती. अतिशय करारी सुशिक्षित आणि स्पष्टव्यक्ती..त्या काळात एकटी राहून गोव्यामध्ये नोकरी केलेली. जगायची खूप खूप आवड.. हत्ती मोर,आणि त्याच्या कलाकुसरीने भरलेल्या, paint kelelya,कशीदाच्या भार्री सुती किंवा सिल्क च्या साड्या.. अतिशय आवडीचे. चालायचा कंटाळा आणि TV बघण्याची आणि फोनवर बोलण्याची फार हौस. वाढदिवसाला तर सकाळी दिवसच तिच्या फोननी सुरु व्हायचा.  पण तिची जगायची इच्छा संपली आहे असा साधारण ऑक्टोबर 2020 मध्ये च जाणवायला लागलं होतं...जानेवारी 2021 च्या hospitalization नंतर ते प्रकर्षाने जाणवत होतं... तिची खाण्या वरची इच्छा कमी होत चालली होती...sugar अचानक कमी होत होती...पण तीचा जीवना कडे बघायचा सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण वाखाणण्याजोगा होता... शेवटच्या दोन महिन्यांत अगदी सगळेच भेटून गेले होते तिला दीर, जावा, मुलमुली, भाचरी, नातवंडं, पन्तवंड सर्व सर्वजण ...रक्ताच्या नात्या सारखीच नाती जपली होती तिने...अगदी आजोबा गेल्यावरही... मला COEP मध्ये ऍडमिशन मिळाल्यावर (१९९८) आजोबांची खूप इच
