SIIB : KISAN----India's largest Kisan fare!



Mulshi Kisan Mela”
One of its kind and one of the largest in India in terms of the corporate participation and the total number of footfalls here.
I am here from last 3 days and this is the fourth and last day of this “kisan fare”. Feeling quite releaved and I must say that its been a real fun and a great experience in terms of the “On road Sales” .
72 hours have been passed and now I can say that I am well versed in ground level marketing and publicity of the Symbiosis Brand.
I couldnot count but I can say that I have interacted at least a thousand farmers and working executives here in this Kisan Mela. This is for the very obvious reason “ASHWAGANDHA”………………
Ashwagandha : a name which is haunting me and the entire team from last 6 months and I am really F**ked up with the Ashwa…. Gandh and really this smell has kept me busy all the time scolding our GOD. This God is tangible, existing that we can see , touch , feel and get scared of.
Hmmmmm its really good to be atheist ………….now I feel and feel stronger to carry on this good work.
“God is someone who is remembered when there is no-space to escape and when there is no one to look at---------to someone it may be a strength and power to overcome problems.
To me it sounds awkward and foolish but above all SELFISH. I cant be selfish to the GOD which has given me strength when I did not had the understanding of myself and the world around me!
Seems I have diverted from the core issue which is KISAN MELA,
Lets get back to the topic again:
Day 1: 15/12/2009:
Morning:
day one, we were sent to this KISAN MELA for the purpose of Marketing Research of Ashwagandha but it proved to be a disaster for most of us in the team as there were almost no respondent for us!
Terrified, petrified and stupefied……………
We resumed the day, struggling to get through the language barrier and the Non-response errors!
Afternoon:
By this time, everybody’s face went pale and there was no sign of enthu and energy to go for work anymore.
Hey I forgot to tell you, by this time almost entire KISAN MELA came to know that a hoard of students from Symbiosis has arrived and trying to encroach privacy of the people in the Kisan Fare.
Now: Post afternoon session:
Battery finished and nothing left in the body and mind to offer……………..
Even I am not left with any energy to push my fingers to type.............................but I will!
Days passed, dates changed but not the DESTINY………………
After finishing day three in the mela, we barely managed to gather just 42+ respondents but see other groups ----------those bloody craps managed more than 100- respondents!
This is fourth and final day of this huge event:
Four guys : Fourth day:::::::::::::::::::hmmmmm we are here again for the PR of the college as we are pre-occupied with burdens of work. But I am sure life will turn shiny and soft after this event and it will be more greener than it looks .
With this hope…………..i bid adeau to all my farmer friends and our great INDIAN FAMILY OF FARMERs.

‘Rainbow"

its a story in the backdrop of recent Mumbai blast at 6:53 pm in dadar, where a person dies.this is the last page of his life....... 7:30 am A lazy morning in Mumbai, sunlight is filtering through the curtains and on the bed, I am lazily thinking about priorities of my day. I have office at 9, meet with international clients at 11, prepare for tomorrows presentation till 4, then have meeting with boss at 6, hummff that’s it for the day!!! No, no I forgot one thing I have to go to car machanic for wheel alignment as well but before 7 pm at any cost. Well, after getting all the days business set in my mind, I dug my face again in the pillow and fell asleep only when a screaming sound made entry over my ear drums “aaj to Bandar-Bandariya ki shaadi ho rahi hai”(today monkey couple are marrying eachother)…..it was my little kido “Saniya” whom we all call Sana. She jumped over my belly and said,”papa, dekho na bahar kitna acha lag raha hai, barish aur dhoop sath sath”. I grazed out of...

AN INDIAN'S CRY.............

An Indians’ CRY….... Marathi Manoooooos……………whats that??? I acknowledge only one manoooos…………..the common man! The common man ---R.K.LAXMAN’S COMMON MAN! Indian middle class who is always sandwiched between the rocky roughness of corruption and politics. Once again this has happening in Maharashtra. I don’t understand few things what Mr. SWAR _Raj wants to convey as Marathi pride……… 1) Where was Raj, when there were thousands of MARATHI MANOOS committing suicide in Vidarbha and Marathwada.? ( still suicides are prevalent) 2) Where was Raj, when terrorists rocked Mumbai in December last year? ( in his safe house) 3) Where was Raj, when there were 1993 riots? ( Was he a child that time, a spoon fed baby) These three questions are like triangle problem to me whose angles are so obtuse that it is difficult to figure out the area of the triangle. I don’t understand, what they gonna provide to Marathi common man? 1) an identity of ruckus? 2) an identity of mindless g...

Be Moral : make a new beginning!!!

“At the cash counter of civil hospital in the city of Lucknow, there was a spat going on. A young boy, (roughly around 16-17yrs old, clad in untidy clothes, unshaved and with wet eyes) was having a heated debate with the counter man, who on the opposite side of the window, was throwing typical hot-words. Nobody around were looking interested in the debate, but were firmly enjoying the drama with loads of enthusiasm. I was moving towards parking after meeting my relative who was admitted over there, but looks of the boy compelled me to get into the spat. I went to the counter & asked the boy ,”what happened, bhai”? He glanced & tried to figure out whether I am related to the hospital or not, when he failed to assess, he replied, “I need the final bills to get cleared but the counter man says to come after 3 pm”. I looked at my watch, it was 11:45 am, as is apparent, Govt. employees work only post lunch, in the similar fashion, a time of 3:30pm was wisely advised. Then I sug...
