Life with Prashant 13 🤣🤣🤣

      Secrets of Prashant Poojari's brain:

👉 I'm great 🤣🤣🤣.

👉 All women love me 🤣🤣🤣.

👉 I can fool today's women 🤣🤣🤣.

👉 Even if I'm wrong, I can get away 🤣🤣🤣.

👉 If a woman starves, she'll leave me 🤣🤣🤣.

     Well well well... I know you guys want to give me a prize for this research. But these are all futile things, into which nobody will put their brains into or give time. So much can be done in free time, even after watching TV or mobile. There are enough used utensils and used clothes in our house, why go to a friend's house ? 🤣🤣🤣

"Ahem... the motto is together we'll clean the house."

     I know he tells everyone that he is a college student. But how come he's so sure that they'll believe him ? 🤣🤣🤣

     On the contrary Garimababu is far more matured. She watches YouTube videos and she's open and vocal about it. She has already told her mom and grandpa, that she has already taken the career decision to be a youtuber. 

     Will be back with more anecdotes about Prashant Poojari and will contribute to laughter and giggles around us. Bye folks... 😘😘😘

Life with Prashant 12 🤣🤣🤣

     When Prashant roars, the world HAS TO stop, or else... you can imagine the Tandav Lord Shiva look 🤣🤣🤣. I was doing embroidery in a peaceful afternoon today, when suddenly I was startled by the roar of Prashant's voice. I ran to the kitchen immediately thinking oh God what has happened ? IT CAME AS THUNDER. Actually... actually... actually... he wanted to ask when was the rice made ? 🤣🤣🤣 I just returned back reassuring myself and calming down my heart that it was not an emergency, like the way I had thought 🤣🤣🤣. 

     Men, and their strange way of behaving have always evoked laughter in me. They resemble kindergarten kids a lot 🤣🤣🤣. Asking child-like and petty kiddo questions to his sister in Karnataka via phone 🤣🤣🤣 or deliberately breaking the clothes tub, serving spoon, the glass-jar in the kitchen and pushing the dinner-plate to the floor while throwing tantrums in front of his late dad, he has a child more-or-less dominating inside him 🤣🤣🤣. People do laugh, but these qualities in men do offer Kapil Sharma kind of entertainment free-of-cost and that too at home only. 

     👆 That's why, we women need men 😜😜😜 🤣🤣🤣.

Pursuit of happiness: This marketing professional quit his 9-5 job to start a $4mn organic farming business

To do what one’s heart desires, is the ultimate goal for many. For some, it may mean quitting a high-paying corporate job for a simpler life.

At a time, when millions of working professionals have been facing burnout and are fantasising about a big reset, someone switching their regular job to pursue something that drives their heart, may come as plain idealism. However, marketing and sales professional Satyajit Hange from Pune stands out as his story is something that would inspire working professionals all over the world.

For Hange, an MBA from Pune University, travelling two hours every day to office and spending nine hours in a cubicle selling products to customers made him feel hollow from inside.

At 32, Hange, who is married and has two children, has been living a secure and prosperous life with all the luxuries that his high-paying job could accord him. Hange recently took to his LinkedIn account to share his life journey, specifically about ‘something that kept him awake at night’.

Prosperity But No Peace
According to Hange, having a regular corporate job, an apartment and a car offered prosperity but no peace. “I felt I was living an artificial life where social acceptance played a big role and there was very little satisfaction in daily life,” he wrote.

The former sales manager at Cholamandalam ABS, said that the only time he truly felt alive was when he visited his farms in the village and spent time with nature, animals and breathed in the fresh air. For him the grand epiphany happened on one such trip to his farms. “Why can’t I build a life here and live with nature, close to the soil I was born in, and with the tradition and culture I felt connected to?” he asked himself on one of his trips.

Acting on the thought, Hange decided to quit his job and embark on a unique journey. He started an organic farming business with his brother. The duo founded the company - Two Brothers Organic Farms. However, all of this was not an easy feat. Hange revealed that during the formative years, people thought that he was on the path to making the biggest mistake of his life and that it was some kind of a fantasy that would run its course sooner.

“Everyone thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life and this fantasy is going to become a big failure. My parents were scared, villagers started commenting as we set up the business,” he wrote.

And, They Made It
Hange said that he made a lot of mistakes, as there was little guidance. However, eight years later they eventually made it. As of now the company has an annual turnover of USD 4 million without any institutional funding or debt. The brothers have been able to employ over 200 people from local villages, work with over 5000 indigenous cows, sell organic farm produce to over 53 countries and have sequestered an impressive 70,000 tons of CO2 in his farms.

Hange said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioning his business in Mann Ki Baat, Vogue rating them as the No.1 organic farming brand in India, and Facebook making them its India brand ambassadors are among his biggest accomplishments. Their success story led IIM-A to invite them to address their students.

In his long post, Hange went on to enumerate on the things that gave him a sense of fulfilment. Waking up every morning to breathe fresh air and soak in the sun; working in the field and feeling connected to the soil; spending time with animals, and staying close to his parents and birth place, are the things that offer Hange the ultimate satisfaction.

“My ultimate goal is to inspire more people to start farming, make farming more attractive and get more talented people in the industry,” concluded Hange.

(I found this on the internet. In current situation, every educated unemployed person should read it.)

My inference: The layoffs are happening for real and it's really scary. Due to economic slowdown the hiring is also minuscule. But it may be true that in the case of most educated middle class people in India, they may own a farmland in native place. The ancestral farmlands can be used to start such kind of business. So can the migrants living in over-crowded hell sort of life in big cities like Mumbai, really go back and with ancestral land start the same business ? With massive bank balance and business contacts, this can be done. Before jumping into it, we need to think seriously about it. After proper thinking, I think this can be done. Truly a good article, all migrants and people laid-off by big firms, should really give this a thought with a calm and composed brain.

Ragda puri 😋

 

This is Ragda-puri prepared by me at home. It came out very well 😋. It's a very simple dish actually. I used Everest chaat masala. I bought the round bloated puris and shev from outside. 

Sukhdi: a gujarati sweet 😋

 

     Its Sukhdi, a gujarati sweet fully prepared by me at home. Actually it's my version. Initially I was not sure, because here we're supposed to use the flour that we use for preparing chapatis. But it came out well 😋.

A letter to God: thanking Him for all that He has given me

      God exists and He keeps note of everyone's activities from heaven. He comes in disguise and helps us in difficult situations. This has happened to me many times. In Ramayana and Mahabharata too there are given instances that various hindu Gods disguised themselves and helped clear-hearted good souls when they were in tough situations. I'll narrate you all about what has happened in my life so many times:

👉 I was staying in Bhoirwadi, in Dombivli west initially. A child Naresh nearly ten years of age had stolen my smartphone. I used my knowledge and intellect and got back the phone.

👉 I always wanted a writing career. It's my  passion. But like any other dutiful daughter, thought of making a career in the money-minting fields such as Accounts and Computers. My heart broke when it came before me that the kids who were born after me were very successful career-wise. I don't wish ill to anyone. Even they may have worked hard in their respective homes to be successful in whatever field they are in. Then after my marriage, when I was pregnant and thirty years of age, I saw the board of SMU ie Sikkim Manipal University. I walked into their office and took admission that very day for MA in journalism and mass communications. I gave birth to Garima in September 2013 and gave my semester I exams in the preceding month, October. And finally in September 2015, I was declared a post-graduate. "God's blessings" and "Bharati aunty's blessings".

👉 It was today that another miracle happened. I found my purse missing after returning from the next building kirana shop. I searched everywhere twice going through the same route. Then a good soul who saw it, got my mobile number on one of the bills and contacting through the grocer, the information was passed over to me. I went to the address given by him and got my purse back. God bless the soul and the grocer.

👉 I was in Manipal, Karnataka during my degree college days. I was weak in Accounts and Computer. Five things happened, those were extremely important for me and my graduation degree. 

1. A computer science lecturer helped me a lot during one of my repeater exams, although she was not my prescribed teacher. I don't remember her name now after so many years. But I pray to God that she should be given all the happiness in the world. 

2. Since I couldn't understand the complex meanings of the Accountancy problems, fellow classmate Supriya helped me understand my sums. She guided me a lot. God bless her. 

3. Two lines of proper guidance from my 'Business organization and management' lecturer from first year, changed my perception of looking at exams. She was a true angel. 

4. Then during my final year, the learning method I chose for learning Accounts was rote. I was weak in Accounts, I found the problems of Accounts too complex to understand. All I needed was a question paper solution guide book. I checked for it in the book store, it was not available there. I was a 90s kid. A typical school student from Thane district, spoon-fed by digests and 21 sets, more appropriately termed as guides. I was scared, without the book. Then on the last day of working college, a miracle happened. I saw the guide book, the same which I badly wanted on the hands of a fellow classmate. I borrowed it from him for three hours. He gave it to me. But the photocopying machine in the college office had stopped working on the same day. I panicked, and decided to give it for photocopying to a shop outside the college gate. Finally the photocopying was successfully done and I returned the guide book original back to him.

5. During my final year graduation exams, my aunt's family had come from abroad. Unfortunately there was an epidemic of Chickenpox in our house. But I think it was divine intervention that four of my close-family members got infected by it, the other remaining four members of the house including myself didn't get infected. I was very scared that if I were to get infected by it, my exams would crash. I prayed to God. And yes, all went well including my exams. 

Life with Prashant 11 🤣🤣🤣

Chalo aaj ka din 

hum husn ke naam karte hai,

Aap jab guzartee ho raahon se 

dil aapka ghulam karte hai. 

I didn't spend much for this look. 

It came out really well. No photoshop is used here. I had gone to Panvel for some work. 

Contrary to what people may have expected, Prashant Poojari shouted using cuss words on me just because after having rice for breakfast and lunch, he wanted to have rice for dinner also 🤣🤣🤣. I didn't call him mad, did I ? 🤣🤣🤣. Diplomatically, if I have to phrase it, he may be jealous of me. That's why he couldn't control his anger 🤣🤣🤣.
