माझा आजचा विचार वैयक्तिक विचार साधना

On Thursday evening after I came back from office, Vaideha showed me a notebook from his school and said, I have created this blueprint of micro-raptor. I want to make one using cardboard. He had his friends jumping with him to get a confirmation from me that we do it on this weekend.

I had little choice and comprehension of what has gone behind this blueprint. Let aside that I had no clue of what is this micro-raptor “thingy” about. I just said Okay

And starting Saturday morning there was lot of energy in the day since morning, Vaideha got up with just one call

अरे तुझा तो micro-raptor करायचा आहे ना?

And he got up like a spring tied to his legs and took a bath in 15 minutes got ready with drinking milk and cloths which usually on week day takes about 30-35 minutes.

Soon I heard phone calls to his friends who where ready as well… at around 11 AM on Saturday boys with nice colorful shirts where gathered at our place all bubbling with energy and bustling around.

It was then, I saw the blueprint actually and I realized it had a lot more details than just drawing, it had part description, material needed to make it, quantity, color… There was also a list of offers made to Vaideha’s friends and their fathers to help in the making of micro raptor. Before I knew all the material was already present at home including some of it gathered from Vaideha’s friends.

I was just going with the flow without putting any more brain… I was mere acting as a Project Manager with architects, engineers already knowing what they need to do.

So from there we just followed the blueprint, to draw the shapes on the cardboard and then to cut the cardboard into correct pieces, we followed the coloring as per the blueprint.

It was nearly three hours and the boys were working with great enthusiasm and energy. They were fighting to get more piece to cut or draw or color. Only when the fruits case in I asked them to take a break so that I can take break as well… around 4 the boys mothers had called at least 2 time to call them back hence we stopped the work for the day.

Sudhir Pitale had made one of his creation while all this was happening which is a small 3×3 inches 3D flying T-rex. And Atharva Gogate had called for another day to make his design of his creation that he will publish soon. With this enjoyable afternoon work we stopped.

On Sunday morning me and Vaideha decided to put together the pieces of the micro-raptor together to finish the job. It was just an hours work to join the pieces and make the micro-raptor.

And its when I started to write this blog post, I searched what is micro-raptor about? and just for your reference the image of the micro-raptor and what we made today is given below:

It all starts with a Dream to create!

काल नीता आणि तिच्या मैत्रिणी, महाराष्ट्र मंडळातर्फे आयोजित, मनस्ताप निवारण व्याख्यान ऎकायला गेल्या होत्या. व्याख्यानाची वेळ ७ ते ९ अशी होती. फलस्वरुप, वैदेह आणि अथर्व दोघे संध्याकाळी माझ्यासोबत होते. अथर्वचे बाबा कार्यालयातुन परत येण्यास दोन तास अवधी होता. या दोघांना “रोबो डिफ़ेन्स” खेळाचे धडाम-धुडुम आवाज ऎकवुन जवळ-जवळ ३० मिनिटे घालवली. तो पर्यंत दोघेही विमान उडवण्याच्या इच्छेने प्रेरित झाले होते. एकीकडे माझे जेवण मी उरकुन घेतले, रात्रीचे ७:३० (:-). दोघांना भुक लागली नसल्या कारणने, मात्र एक-दोन बिस्कीटे खायला घातली. तेवढ्यात श्लोक म्हणण्याची कल्पना वैदेह आणि अथर्व, दोघांना पसंत पडली. एका मागुन एक दोघे श्लोक म्हणु लागले. याची परिणिती खालील चलचित्रात झाली.

पुढे खाली जाउन विमाने उडवण्याचा खेळ जवळ-जवळ एक तास रंगला. मग सुमारे ८:४५ वाजता अथर्वचे बाबा आल्यावर दोघे आपापल्या घरी गेले. आणि माझ्या अजुन एक रंगतदार दिवसाची पुर्ति झाली.

Since last two three months, starting from November 2009, I am hooked on to going to VSS shakha regularly. After three four months now I have realized that I have missed less than 3 Sundays of shakha other than when I was on vacation in Thane. Now looking at this undeclared behavior pattern, why I am going so regularly to shakha? one thought comes to mind that is the young friends I have made since November. They all come to shakha before I reach and wait for me to begin the games. I have started liking the game session that we play. Initially we playedjust warm up games like Om chanting in one breath followed by one boy doing kabaddi service while others catch. Now a days playing kabaddi is a become the center point of our games session. But now a days I felt we are too focused on just one game. Hence we played football last time. And to my surprise, I was beaten by those young boys most of them age less than 10 years, at least a couple of times. I must say they are really good players full of nascent talent & potential. I am going to focus on how to cultivate more team games in them and bring out best within them.

दिनांक ८ नोवेंबर, २००८, आज मी असे काही केले की जे करताना मला, कुमारभारती, १० च्या “स्वानंद” धड्याचा अनुभव आला.
स्वतःच्या हाताने काहि तरी तयार करुन ते आपल्या मुलाला खेळायला देणे…

अमुल दुधाचा खोका – रथ

आणि रथ तयार झाल्यावर त्याच्याशी खेळतान वैदेहला पहाणे हा त्या स्वानंदाच्या पुर्तीचा दाखला.
