Bare face of BJP in Bihar



Giving resignation, before going to floor, Manjhi has done a great thing. It seems, even BJP top Brasses were unknown about this. They want to make Tamasha of Indian democracy to defame the peoples of Bihar, what they are doing since long. On TV channels, BJP pravaktas were shamefully defending in the name of ‘Mahadalit’ . Had BJP and RSS been protected the Mahadalits, they would not have humiliated here and there.  SC, STs Girls and women are raped every day. Are not Hindu responsible for that?  Who are humiliating them? Muslims or Christians?
 Infact, Manjhi was totally unable to manage floor. That is why he gave resignation. Now, it’s Nitish duty to look after the interest of Mahadalits. He has sufficient time to do this job. And, I am sure he will do it. He has that caliber. In my view, he should take first step to hand over the management of the Mahabodhi temple to Buddhist for whom, they are fighting since long. It will be good start and also build up international pressure in his support.

Guddu Marriage

Earlier, I had witnessed a inter-caste marriage. It was in Jabalpur. People were used to thought about the pro and cone of inter-caste marriage. I too had suspicion. But, witnessing that Jabalpur marriage, I realized that it may happened in a nice way.

The matter is pertain to how both the parties are convinced each other. It is time taking dialogue. Secondly, people now are educated. Parents think about their kids. They think, it is better to stand their side. Putting pressure on them is no more healthy solution.

Goddu, my younger sister Gopika Vaidye's son is residing in Bhopal since 12-13 year back. He is a professional Doctor. He has done BAMS and some Post graduation in this field. He was engaged since 8 to 10 years with a beautiful girl who is also in the same profession. But she is not his caste fellow.

I am residing in Bhopal since 2 and half years back. The matter was known to me. Guddu is my favorite boy since long when he was preparing for MBBS. I was impressed with his knowledge and way of study. Though, he has all the caliber in my views but,  he could not be get selected.

Secondly, his way of dealing is set a example. He manages things nicely. His delivery is descent. I saw closely it during his own younger sister's marriage. His father has pride over it.

When he briefed me about his marriage, I was in suspicion, how things shall happen ? But, he was confident. He told me there is no any reason to get worried. Other people told me that his girl friend is wise and mature. Their relation was since 8 to 10 years long. However girl's father is not so soft about this relation but she is firm to stand on her decision.


Looking to his marriage program me, he shifted in a bigger room in Karod side. That bigger Banglow has lot of rooms and space. Had this Banglow been not engaged, problem might be have there for guest accommodation and other programme's activities.

Guddu called his father and mother at Bhopal in due coarse of time and brought them to meet with his girl's parents. Both parents were agree to perform both side's customs and traditions as either sides guest and relatives will be present there.

The wedding date comes to nose i. e. on 12 Feb 2015. The Bride house is in BHEL premises. Our Barat comes on wedding gate at 8.30 PM. Bridegroom was on horse. He was appearing handsome and magnificent. Bride was came on the gate with her parents and other guests to welcome. Bridegroom came down and carried in wedding hall with due honor.

Meanwhile Parents of Bride called us to give them the bride-robe and other ornaments what bridegroom parents are like to give to their Bride. Customarily, this Bride robe and ornaments are expected to wear and put on by Bride at the time of wedding. It was a gracious moment. Mother, father and their close relatives were present there to witness that event.

In due course of time, the wedding process is started by Ven. Bhante who was already present on dais. Guest were taking dinner in parallel. All cuisines stales  were decorative and well arranged. Dinner items were delicious and so tasty that I too was busy to repeat.

On 10.30 PM wedding ceremony was  over as per Buddhist tradition. The Bride and Bridegroom were now on dais with heavy suits to acknowledge guest and relatives reception.They were coming one by one on dais having their best wishes to shower on Bride and  Bridegroom.

On next day morning, we went to bring Bride and Bridegroom. I was not familiar with this kind of Vidaai. But, it was heart touching. At 11.30 AM, we comes on Bride groom's door. There was also some traditional customs. We all were part of that. Then we took lunch.

On 14th Feb, there was programmme of visiting of Sanchi. This programmme is inspiring to others. People used to made huge amount of expenses on marriage.  But, to arrange such event is laudable. People remember this all the time. It is also the service to the society.  It is a gracious service to Dhamma.

In my younger daughter Prerana's marriage, I had arranged Mumbai Darashan to all guest. I had booked a bus and made opportunity to visit most important tourist places including Juhu beach and Chaity Bhoomi etc..

Similarly, during the marriage of my younger son Yeshwarya, I donated Lord Buddha statues and Dhamma scripture's books like Buddha and His Dhamma to all guests. During my elder son Rahul's marriage I had made programmme to visit Amarkantak.

Vicky marriage


Marriage itself is a great event. It is a life's pleasant moment.
Daughter or son, you have to marry with some one.

Some people say,  it is a social responsibility. It is a nature's opportunity extending someone to become mother and father. However, it need not be necessary to marry with some one but to carry out the social responsibility, you have to marry with someone. 

Very rare people takes decision to not involve into this process. But, it is hard and tough decision. Among them, some sacrificed their these pleasant moments to social cause. They think, it is better way to serve people.

Here,  it is not the proper place to go in this thought. I will chose other place to comment on this topic further.

Vicky, elder son of my younger sister Kumud Bagade, who is an engineer in Microsoft working in Delhi, was engaged with Neha, an elder daughter of Mr D. R.Kamale Nagpur. Their wedding ceremony was on 2nd Feb 2015 at Nagpur.

Nag Bhavan(Circuit House) residing in civil line was our stay at Nagpur. The haldi program me was on 01-02-2015. On this day in first half, engagement ceremony was performed at bride residence, Dhariwal Lay-out, Ring Road Nagpur. It was hardly 6 to 7 Km away from our staying place.

Mr Satish Choure was the co-ordinate r. In fact, he is so gentle and well attentive personality that all things were going fine and in perfect way.

Vicky' friends 4 to 5 were came from Delhi. Their staying arrangement was done in a nearby Hotel. Looking to Delhi's friends and the eve of marriage occasion, Vicky had booked C.P. Club for entertainment.

At evening, we were assembled at that club. Indeed, it was funny and having full masty evening. All guests were singing and dancing together. The climate was so pleasant and happy. For some time, the bride was also came with her accompany. After passing some time, we took dinner there. It was descent and tasty.

On 2nd Feb, Barat processing was started at 7.15 PM from Nag Bhavan. Vicky was on Bagghi and we all were around him. The band party was time-bound. But, things were well and good.

At about 9.30 PM, Wedding ceremony was started. It was nice and magnificent. At about 10.30 PM we took dinner.

Now, it was Vidaai Day. So many guest got this opportunity to visit Diksha Bhoomi which is happen to be in route from our stay to bride residence, hardly 3 to 3 KM from Nag Bhavan.

On reaching Bhopal, there was also an opportunity of Sanchi Visit. I will discuss later.
