State Elections, People, City & Real Estate!

“In the society of fools, being wise is foolishness!”…

I only have written these words but the wisdom behind them is of Plato, Aristotle, Confucious, Archimedes & many such! No, I don’t claim myself to be in the league of above names, I am not even on the gate of their kingdom, what I meant is, I owe the ability of mine to write such word to them as sometime or other they all have expressed such feeling & most of them have met their tragic end for not accepting the truth behind their own words, Archimedes for sure I know! And the reason I felt these words (literally) is none other than the time or say test of examining our (read as society’s) foolishness, I wanted to use the word wisdom but considering the circumstances I chose the opposite! Because the way this election’s campaign is being run & more than that the supporters of respective parties or an individual are behaving & if this, we call democracy, then even gods can’t save us! I am no saint or philosopher as I am part of this society & live by its rule so I can’t claim myself different yet there can be shades of even foolishness (though it’s not) & may be I am still on the border side of wisdom within the foolishness that’s why I feel & feel frustrated for the campaign & feel sad for not being sure about my vote’s value, for the first time since I started voting, yet I will vote, thanks to my good friends advise &  story from Zen Speaks!

Ok, if you are thinking where is this going, then, this sharing is not about Tadoba, this is not about wildlife or environment either but this is about something which will have impact on them for sure & on our future at large! This is about our “Progressive State’s” (self-proclaimed?) assembly election & the way it’s being contested i.e. issues, points & yes about our city & real estate industry which happens to be my bread & butter earning means! And I know by the time you guys will be reading this piece elections i.e. voting day would have been gone & indeed one election doesn’t change our life but whom we choose definitely decides course of our life & that’s why I decided to write deliberately at the end of campaign as had it been earlier, then I would have been the fool to display my wisdom (shade of it) when the foolishness was at its peak! I am referring to a campaign which can be called War Tactics to win the election but even a war used to have some rules, this is street fight & if you don’t believe me then you can stop reading or else read this…. Why we have elections in the first place, because we are a democratic country / society & we choose people amongst ourselves whom we consider can represent us (read as society) can understand our problems, our strengths, our weakness & these people whom we elect can make policies / rules/ laws/ system whatever we call it, to see that the society at large can live in peace & comfort! Agreed, with the population of State nearly twelve crores plus even God can achieve peace/ comfort for all but we can try, right or that’s what is supposed to be the job of elected members whom we call our rulers! Rather the term ruler itself is wrong in pure democracy, its representee which our Hon PM, in last campaign has considered himself as “ Chaukidar” though later on he also forgot that & changed to’ Abki bar 400 par” & we saw what happened, that’s different aspect of sharing!  What I was referring to is, when we choose some people among ourself to lead us then what should be their agenda while they contest for these posts of power & look what’s being shown or run!

I repeat (disclaimer), my sharing is not against or for any political party but about the way all political people (not just some party) are taking the voters for a ride & diverting our attention from the basic needs of the masses as well as businesses & industries! Look at the agenda or action plan or Jahirnama, of most of the parties as well speeches or interviews by their leaders & all they have to sale (well, its sarcasm) is, how much freebees they can give to the voting segment i.e. Women, Farmers & such categories or naming other parties for their incapability & corruption! My objection is not about giving free-money or discounts to the needy ones but is that a solution, as why such time came on these classes, is the question I will ask to our leaders! At the same time, if every party is accusing other party candidates as traitors or corrupt or incapable, then whom we should vote or trust with our vote, right?  Last but not least, why businessmen/ industrialist are on hate-list of all the politicians as employment doesn’t mean only govt jobs but if we really want to create jobs for all then first, we will have to create (read as support) businessmen/women & what are we doing on that front, no political party is speaking about it or assuring anything related to it, is my subject of sharing!

And if you think I am just criticizing, then take example of real estate of Pune (as well State), right from not making very basic thing like Development Plan which is key rather the key to any development to making wrong policies related to urban development & not event trying to correct them, every wrong thing is done with the real estate, which is not only need of the masses (Homes) but this industry is biggest employment & revenue generation also for the govt as well for the society! But no political party does a hoot about real estate while they all want the fruits from this tree but they forget, for getting fruits first one has to nurture & water that tree, & here we are pouring acid in the name of water to the tree named real estate! These wrong policies include EC (please google) committee’s illogical or weird rulings which overrules even the Urban Development laws & I am saying this with utter respect for environment conservation, but a balance has to be maintained between the both & that’s job of the govt which it’s not doing! At present, in & around Pune hundreds of projects are stuck as they are not from getting EC just because of some ruling of NGT (please google) by our State only while all other States are going ahead with respective development & our leaders cry over businesses going to other States,  I wish even I can transport land to our neighboring State, alas! We form a planning authority like PMRDA & we don’t make DP for the same for years, even after its formation & yet we keep sanctioning plans with rules which are made as per whim & wish of some individuals’ because our leadership doesn’t have time (or will) to sanction the DP & yet we expect growth & development of our region, wow! And no political party utters a word about it in their agenda because they know the real estate industry is helpless & Janata is dumb & deaf about such aspects of planning! Here in this State plan of a project is sanctioned by the govt (pmc/pmrda etc) as per their own made DP & DC rules but water, road, drainage to these building will be responsibility of either the builder or the occupants, this type of shameless attitude (sorry for the word but that’s the only terminology came to my mind) only political people can display with such ease & high time for the voters to ask such questions or think about them while you vote! !

Rather every of the past State govt’s careless attitude toward Urban Planning (or caring for only a few) approach is the sole reason for destruction of environment & growth of illegal homes in most of the towns & cities of the State & if you don’t believe me then please visit ten mid-level district places & cities like Pune, Nashik & ask three questions to the masses there! One, are you happy with the facilities your city is providing to you. Two, is the home you want to buy is available in your budget & three, will you like to become a businessman by yourself , do you think it’s possible here? And before asking these questions to the citizens of the cities just observe what you see while entering in these cities, I bait you will see heaps of garbage aligned along the roads before entering the city & encroachments on the roads, traffic jams, tell me what’s the reason behind all this, has these things you read in any of the party’s agenda & if so, what action plan they have got for the same! This is reason of my sharing that political parties know common people cares a damn about all these aspects of life & money is the best & fast solution to make them become more forgettable (read as make their brain weak) for unavailability of water, garbage heaps, poor public transport & all such, that’s why freebees take first place in the list of assurances for all political parties!

Unfortunately , everybody thinks businessmen & industrialists(read as builders) are the culprit for every bad thing that happens to the city but the fact is we are just puppets of the system which is in place because of the blindness of the masses about their voting rights! I can write hundreds of things going wrong for real estate & do mind it’s just one industry, God (even that I doubt) only knows what must be happening on the front of other industries & solution is only one as per the politicians, give more freebees! Guys, by the time you will be reading this as I said, we would have already sealed our fate rather, the fate would be known (result of election) & you will say, nothing is going to change, so why am I even wasting my words & time & you may be right! But, if I can vote then I can (read as, must) express why I am voting, is something I am clear about myself; because giving vote is just first step of the ever-climbing ladder named democracy, mind it, adios with this note!

Learnings from White Wash & team India!

 --

“For most men the reason for failure is not absence of the capacity to succeed but absence of determination to succeed” ...Me.

“agreed, one series’ defeat doesn't define you, but!! We have never believed in specialization & the outcome is this!! we need test squad different and don't allow them to play in IPL, pay them to recover from that loss or else we will be just T20 Champions!! Good we lost even the 3rd test as we deserved that loss, had we won the 3rd test then again, we would have praised that won only & forgotten the first 2 defeats!! As well, one test’s poor performance makes kl rahul sit out, then why not rohit s & virat k are treated with same stick?? Well, done team India, to make yourself show the world what you are actually in test cricket for now!!”

Well, I am sure most of the readers must have understood above para & the meaning of the quote both of which are written (and thought) by me in a WhatsApp group chat & I don’t use any copyright thingy for my quotes so the readers are free to use it which I am sure hardly anybody will do, so be it! That was joke & a bad joke but what happened with team India in the recent test series with Kiwis’ (team New Zealand) was definitely not a joke but it was murder with abuse & if you find my such terminology exaggerated then you are real fan (read as a fool) of team India, btw team India mean India’s official cricket team, rather BCCI’s & not nation’s (plz google for BCCI)!

Ok, a disclaimer,  this sharing is about cricket so those who are not interested or hate cricket the can stop reading but , I don’t warship or glorify cricket as for me it's just a game which most people of this country can play & understand & that’s why I like to analyse this game whenever possible as like any game it teaches us so many things about life & as billions of Indians play this game its best tool to connect, so the sharing is about cricket but more about our attitude towards life & such! If you still want to stop reading, your choice!  Recently team India in its entire ninety years of cricket playing history (fifteen odd years even before independence as a national team) lost a series in home with all nil in a three-test series i.e. White Wash, that too from a team which till today has never been able to team India in India, so it’s a murder & an insulting way for sure! Before I analyse (sorry, share my take away) the recent past of the both teams were, NZ team has come back from a brown wash i.e. lost both tests of the series they have played in our neighbouring country, Sri Lanka! Team India has not only won the T20 World Cup but has won the last test series with Bangladesh that too from a down under situation & the last test of the series has broken many records by Indian team in doing so! In nutshell, team NZ was morally down, while team India was riding a wave of success before the series started! At the same time history was not in favour of team NZ as even their own management wouldn’t have believed if somebody would have predicted that their team will beat team India by 3-0 score, yet team NZ beat team India the invincible team for record time (twelve years) at home turf, is my subject of sharing as I am always interested in why, especially when it’s a defeat & this was big defeat by any definition!

I am sure that many cricket pundits (in our country you get in every home/office one such) are writing down their theories but fortunately the day we lost the last test next two days entire news media was on holiday because of Diwali & then there was USA Presidential election so team India was saved a lot from their Media Dhulai (well, read as lashing)! I am not writing this piece for adding Surf/Nirma (please google meaning) in team India’s dhulai but just want to analyse it for my own self as well for my kids, youngsters & my team, if they want to learn from it! As first & foremost, in any game there is a winner & there is a loser & not even the GOAT (again google) can keep winning all the time barring extreme exceptions such as Mike Tison in his prime but we saw how his career also ended! So, how can a team which goes to One Cricket’s World cup finals, mean they are near champion, then win T20 World Cup & just after beating one team in test cricket by super margins in the next few weeks gets defeated by some team which is way below par in their compare in all formats, is my subject of sharing, as these defeats teaches us many things & one of them is to understand the league of the game you are playing in!

First, NZ is a team of professions & very fit players. Second & which is the most important aspect of this defeat & which is applicable for any business also is, high time for BCCI & team India to differentiate three formats of this game needs three different teams if you don’t want such White Wash defeat! Because however you train a donkey & make him fit yet it wont even win a Derby race against the horses & please don’t think I am calling team India a bunch of donkeys but selectors & BCCI, yes, they are! Take this example, can you ask a 100 m race champion to win a marathon race just because he is a world champion of 100 m which is ‘Bapp’ of all athletics! Or, can you expect a lightweight or featherweight boxer who is champion in this group to beat even a normal boxer from a heavyweight group! Answer is no, & not because there is any problem with the respective world champion of 100 m race or light weight boxer but the game becomes different, as you change the format of the same game! This is why even when Raffel Nadal & Carlos Alcaraz, both of them are individual single’s genius players of tennis, can’t win a medal for their country while playing doubles together as the game of doubles needs different skills & mindset & temperament which they may not have even being a champion of the same game but in different format! Same is with team India, as of late we have been boss of limited overs format & may be 20 overs to 50 overs shift is not that big but when you have to play for 90 overs a day for five days & with no field restrictions, suddenly the same game’s nature changes 360 degrees for which this team India is not prepared for! And we have been observing it time & again yet we are not accepting the reason behind it, is my subject of sharing. And this is why, in recent years twice we have been in the finals of World Test Cricket & both times we have lost, one of the latest opponents was NZ only, we very easily forget the past, that’s the problem with our country & team India is no exception to this law of forgetting!

This very same principle of this game is applicable to many of the entrepreneurs’ (read as builders) also, as when they get success in one type of business, they start feeling they have got Midas Touch & whichever business they start it will hit success & we all know what happens then! This is what even as an individual also we must learn & accept in our respective life may it be career or any role we are doing as understand our strong points & stick to that & that doesn’t mean stop improvising, what it means is just don’t consider ourselves as Master of everything around us or else a white was awaits us for sure & that hurts! Not only it hurts but such defeat can damage our morale also & that’s tough to recover even for the champions! Team India is experiencing it already as even with last two series being won in Australia the series ahead has been already lost is what people are predicting post this White Wash, this is what your ego can do to you as nobody thought of White Wash loss with team NZ & yet that happened, is my subject of sharing!

There will be advices & suggestions to make senior players (again partiality as why not all players) more domestic cricket but that’s not going to solve the problems as again we are making a mistake of mixing two different games here! Even if a 100 m race champion practices hard for a marathon, as the basic needs for two races are different, some day or other the result will be obvious i.e. poor defeat! As for 100 m race the strength comes from muscles & in short bursts you have to use that strength & that’s why the physique of 100 m race players is heavy, stout & strong. But for a marathon you can’t afford weight even of muscles & the player must be lean but resilient & strength is in using it slowly for longer duration yet to reserve some for the last leap to beat others who are running in groups till the finish line is in sight, just like test cricket! Those who have watched these test matches (there are still few) if they remember the third test’s last day when all that team India has to do is make mere 146 runs to avoid white wash. Agreed pitch was turning but on the same pitch team NZ made more runs & when you are a sure candidate for world championship then you can’t give reasons, right? In that innings our captain got beaten for first two balls consecutively & on third ball he cam charging out of crease & just threw his bat on the ball & eventually got four runs but that shot showed inability of three things, one is inability of understanding of the game he was playing that too as a captain also, two is, inability of keeping away frustration (depression) of last few innings failure & three is, desperation to win, after watching that shot I stopped watching the match as I knew what is going to happen ahead & we were five wickets down on mere some thirty runs!

Again, this one shot selection doesn’t makes our captain a bad player but what it shows is, he is unfit for test format along with many players of this squad as when you play some game or run a business then your mind must be tuned with the basics of that game (or business) & this doesn’t happen automatically unless you are a genius or else you need training & practice, lots of it & focusing on that particular type of game or the business! Nothing of which has been done by team India on this front i.e. practice or professional approch for the resepctive format of the game & outcome is a White Wash! Frankly, I felt sad for this defeat as I am a die-hard sports lover but I felt sadder for the way we fail to read the writing on the wall than mere defeat, is my subject of sharing! But I am happy for the outcome as somewhere someone will learn from this defeat, I have learnt for myself & will definitely try to prepare myself & my team for our respective games ahead, game of life or business whatsoever you may call! I am sure, team India also must have learnt her lesson, & life is not about just learning the lessons but it’s about improving yourself with those learnings, mind it, adios with this note team India, we love you (and yes, thanks for making us learn such wonderful lesson about defeat, at your cost)!

Super Moms of Tadoba Episode 2; Junabai !

-

 “Bhagwan har jagah nahi hota hai, Isi liye toh usne Maa ko banaya”… Bollywood movie “Mom”

 

(God can’t be present everywhere that’s why he made Mother)

 

Well, when the subject is Mom then what better than our bollywwod (Hindi) cinema can be there to start the sharing & I have so many dilogues to choose, from yet the above, one from the movie Mom I thought would be apt & happy for another episode of Super Moms from Tadoba! Those who haven’t read part on of this subject, this is my (on behalf of many wildlife lovers) tribute to the Tigresses of Tadoba which are actually Super Moms & a little effort to make common people know about these mom’s great journey which is full of struggles! Incidentally the Mom movie’s lead role was played by one Super Star lady of Hindi Cinema, i.e., Shreedevi whose struggle to the stardom also was somewhat similar like these Super Moms of Tadoba! At the same time this my sharing may have some lacunas on the front of time lines, places as well blood line as I am not a researcher of wildlife or of Tadoba forest, but a mere tourist who knows a bit little more than common tourists about the forests as well with my engineering background has some logic to back what I see & observe! This series is not to glorify Tadoba (it already is, though) or some particular tigers or even the tiger species at large but to make know the people importance of these wonderful individual animals which has played incredible role in not only their own conservation (read as survival) but in process uplifting lives of thousands of humans also as well secure future of wildlife at large!

 

Here, many will ask isn’t such words are not far-fetched, as how can some tigers (tigress actually) can individually do mammoth task of conservation at large, is it not we the humans who should be applauded for making them able to do rather its, we, the humans who are responsible for the success of conservation of tigers & wildlife at places like Tadoba & that is true, but! But the question I want to ask all such people is, who made it to the tigers that now we needed to do efforts for the conservation of wildlife, answer is, we the humans only, right? So, if we are taking efforts of conservation of wildlife its nothing great as that’s our sins which we are trying to undo but real credit is if of these Mumma tigresses which are trying to cope up with humans’ efforts & helping us to conserve the wildlife, is what people should know, that’s why the sharing. And I was fortunate (read as lucky) to be able to visit Tadoba many times & observe these Moms as that now only made me realize their contribution & efforts but I could learn a lot about wildlife or say life at large & coexistences’ importance for conservation!  Few of these tigresses I have watched them over a decade & seen their journey from being a little cub to mom of cubs, its wonderful & I will cherish these moments for ever, so in a way it’s very personal tribute from me to all these tigresses also! Why I call them Super Mom is, because of the great service & sacrifice they have done in the process of becoming a Mom & agreed, sacrifice is second name of motherhood but what we are doing to appreciate that sacrifice, is the question I asked myself & so this sharing! Most of these tigresses have something in common apart from being a tiger & that is fight for space, first with their own mom & later with their siblings when they are grown up & fight for space with humans is on, all the time & it’s becoming tougher /bitter by day & yet they are not giving up their fight for survival of themselves as well of wildlife, that’s what makes them Super Moms!

 

Madnapur Express, Super Mom Junabai!

Som six/ seven years back image of a young tigress with four cute cubs trailing her surfaced on social media (FB only then) & the photographer has aptly captioned it as Madnapur Express & that day Kolara side of Tadoba made entrance in the world of wildlife lovers (read as tiger photographers’). As, till then Tadoba means Moharli side (Its one of the first gates of Tadoba forest) & not many people even knew that there is entry from Kolara/ Chimur side & tigers are sighted here also, which is the main cause of visit for most people. As well Madnapur & Kolara buffers also opened & Junabai the name given to the tigress from a local village’s old(juna) lady (bai) which was supposedly killed in the range by some tiger where this tigress has made her territory, with her four cubs was ready to rule this part of forest! And since last nearly eight years she is sole queen of Kolara/ Madnapur/ Palasgaon buffers (these are villages just outside of core area). And her job is not easy, as if on one side these are much populated habitats with human settlements then on other side this part of forest is like male tiger’s corridor from Tadoba core to outer forests. The male tigers which have thrown out from core forests in the territorial fights from the ruling tiger often takes shelter in these buffer forests & so do new tigers which want to enter ion core forest in search of territory & on this corridor rules Junabai. I have been lucky to watch Junabai for last five years & the way she has learnt to deal with new tiger males as well humans is admirable! As on one side she has to get tuned with new male tigers & on other side keep safe distance from humans which are in abundance in this part of buffer forests. Trouble with male tigers is if you have got cubs from one tiger & he moves out of the forest then the new male will always try to get rid of your cubs which is most painful for any mom but that’s how nature is, cruel a times! And because of the geographic location of Junabai’s area the movement of new tigers is continuously on yet she has managed to raise many cubs which is her gift to Tadoba. About dealing with humans, she is a master now as its heartening to watch Junabai keeping distance from humans inhabitataing these forests along with the tigers (its allowed as its buffer). So many times, I have seen the domestic cattlemen (chrawahe/ gurakhi) are taking their cattle on the forest roads or guarding their sheep grazing around & unaware of presence of Junabai resting in the foliage around them but very alert & keeping keen eye on their movements!  The moment these men leave the forests which is late evening or for taking the animals to another part of buffers behind them, I have seen her silently emerging from the bushes & start her hunt for food or marking her territory. Similarly, I have observed Junabai dealing with village women who has to enter in the forests for Tendu-leaf collection or such daily routine jobs or just taking these roads for commuting to their destination, yet she never scares them by suddenly jumping in front of these village women or cross their path! Junabai has survived so long & successfully because she knows, now the humans are part of her life & attacking them will serve no good for her or her cubs & she respects humans’ presence in her forests by being observant yet keeping safe distance from them & that’s so wonderful to experience! At the same time when there is new male tiger in the area, she keeps her cubs in one part of the forest & lure the new male tiger to another end of the forest ensuring safety of her cubs of which this male tiger is not father!

 

At the same time while with her cubs she is super alert & ever watchful, as in my recent trip I get to observe her such skills from close. While we were waiting at a spot where in the thickset of shrubs Junabai was resting with her two small cubs around, there was just a small window through the bushes from where we can see her & when with cubs’ tigress usually choose such place only so she can hide them when she was out on hunting. She must have been tiered due to job of hunting all night for herself & her cubs & the stress must be there all the time for safety of the cubs which are left behind when she is on hunt, so rest is an important factor for mom tigress. The cubs were wide awake & in playing mood while Junabai was fast asleep, though she knew our presence around but she knew we are no threat for her cubs so she could afford to sleep & we were waiting if she wakes up & takes the cubs to nearby water body, in such case patience is the key as a tiger can sleep for hours leaving your frustrated but we too are veteran now in wait game so the clock was ticking. Suddenly in the distance faint alarm calls & wild dogs voices came to our ear & Junabai was up on her feet in a flash like she was never sleeping & in one stride she was on the road in front of our gypsy instructing the cubs not to move from the place by her eyes & her eyes scanning the entire area for possible threat which wild dogs are for tigers. Her ear raises & taking every smallest of sound in to judge the direction as well distance from the side wild dog’s calls have come & she decided to circle the entire area & left! I have witnessed a Super Mom on her duty to her best as she was in deep sleep which we were observing for nearly an hour & not sure when she will wake up & a faint call of wild dogs & she was on her feet in a flicker to ensure safety of her cubs & went for the round of entire area keeping aside her tiredness aside & ready to face the threat by herself as wild dog are hard enemies even for a tiger & can injure a tiger as they attack by pack yet Junabai was ready to take them on for the cubs! There is a temple of now inside the forest of Junabai lady where our Super Mom has been seen hanging around often & that’s why Junabai tigress is named after her. About the bloodline of Junabai, some says she is daughter of another Super Mom of Tadoba i.e. of Choti Madhu, which currently rules Junona buffer & some says she is daughter of Tara & I have written about Choti Madhu in earlier episode of Super Moms of Tadoba, though nobody can confirm this info & many says she just took over the present territory as it was laying vacant! But one sure thing is Junabai is mother to another Super Mom in making i.e. tigress named Verra who is right now ruling adjoining forests of Junabai’s territory, Belara & have two bold cubs, so Junabai is already a Super Grand Mother actually!

 

Tigress like Junabai does one more good thing for the wildlife tourism & that is in the process of becoming Super Mom for her cubs she makes them comfortable with humans as well the forest & this is why most of these cubs when grow up, are not shy or afraid of humans & gives good show to the tourists which is the main attraction of wildlife tourism & makes Tadoba dear to the wild lifers across the globe!  And in doing so, indirectly Junabai (and her likes) has become mother to many locals also, as because of her sightings with her cubs Madanpaur/ Kolara buffers are flooded with tourists & a major source of income for many households, this is why Junabai is one of the best Super Moms of Tadoba & may her regime grow, is my wish for her!  

Though by every day the task of making the cubs grow is becoming hard for even Super Mom like Junabai as numbers of tigers are increasing & space is same rather reducing thus fight for the territory are becoming more often & the first victims are small cubs from another male tiger! It’s a big jungle yet its not so big that a Mom can hide her cubs from all the eyes & eventually some or other cub does gets killed by some other tiger, as recently she has lost her grown sub adult female cub to another tigress! What we can do is try giving Super moms like Junabai as much space we can give & disturb them less & for that wild life tourism is the key as then the locals around Junabai won’t mind occasionally their cattle or sheep getting killed by her as they know its out of need for survival & on Junbai’s survival depends their own survival also, long live Super Mom Junabai!

 

Such is charisma of tigress Junabai that I have decided to cover two or three Super Moms along but when I started writing about her, the entire sharing space she only took & I don’t want to stretch your reading patience, so more Super Moms of Tadoba in next episodes, adios with this promise.!
