Father's Day....Role Reversal

Role Reversal   " सच   कहते है आज Father's Day है, कभी सच्चा Father's Day  मनाकर तो देखो....।। दुनिया मुझे बुलाती है, कल फिर बुलाएगी, परंतु खुदके सपनो को करके थोडासा दरकिनार,  कभी माता पिता का साथ निभाकर तो देखो.....।। कुछ बरस माता पिता के साथ गुजारकर तो देखो.....।।" रचयिता, अभय भट्टड़ 

दिसते तसं नसते , म्हणून ........

  When I was in Primary school (Age 7-8 years), our teachers used to teach a lot of traditional Proverbs during classes.  I am sure all the 1990's kids will relate with me here.............. Those age-old proverbs were actually a treasure trove of wisdom expressed in very simple words.    Our teacher (Respected Panaskar Madam) taught us some amazingly simple Marathi Proverbs. I was in a Marathi school (Nagar Parishad Shala Kramank 6. If any alumni reading this then, "Haat varti kara..." ).       I remembered one such proverb today. It is in Marathi :  दिसते तसं नसते , म्हणून जग फसते So Apt... So amazing... Pure wisdom conveyed in 6 simple words.... It can guide us in taking any major decisions to double check the reality and to not believe something on face value. Heck, its a complete Risk-Management framework in itself.....!!  The proverb is ofcourse about perceptions and propaganda. It is more useful in todays life than any other time ...
