When will moral awakening happen......

Every where on the streets of Pune which ever way you pass by, there is just nothing right. Do you people not notice it for yourself. I have started to sympathize the city rather than feeling angry. I want to share some big pictures with you all soon.

Updates from me is that we will soon be having our website up and running for this nobel cause.

THE MOST PROUD FEELING IS THAT WE HAVE NOW CROSSED 1380 plants.

We will be planting mainly fruit trees, such as Imli, Chickoo, Jamun, Mango and so on.

These trees will be planted in the societies near you, plus schools where your children study. The idea is to let your children take the onus and grow their own trees.

I genuinely thank all the participation happening in the I OWE YOU PUNE campaign.

Our Frist Tree plantation session.....

Pune....we all need to be proud of our selves that in such a short time we have crossed 500 members (as followers, email...) to I OWE YOU PUNE  campaign.

We will soon be identifying the location for these plantation.

My idea was to plant trees at all those locations the followers suggest most appropriate, because our followers are so wide spread geographically and perhaps they would like to have plantations near their area of living or work. So they can take care of these trees associated to their commitment for safer and greener Pune.

I would like to welcome suggestions from all our associates to the campaign, ultimately its our commitment, our life, our Pune.

I am ..... HE was.

Day before yesterday a friend driving on the mumbai Pune express highway a posh high end luxury car.

Time 7:30 am, approaching panvel exit, speed unknown, activity driving, speaking on the phone discussing the date and mahurat for the house warming of the person who is driving. Felt thirsty, grabbed a bottle of water, trying to open, bottle slipped, rolled over on the co driver seat, trying to just spot  split second eyes off the road and gets hold, and then a loud BANG, SCREECH, and CRASH.

Our friend from other side, kept screaming and trying to find out what happened?????

On the other side, complete silence......

Can you imagine the silence and the interpretation of the silence..... imagine a weak hearted person on the other side.

After about half a minute, a loud cry and friend from the car gasping for breath.... screaming hello, hello helloooo.

Confirmation a major accident, fortunately no one injured.

I got the news so, i had rushed immediately from my office, on reaching site, investigated the root cause and the findings are:

straight patch, with right bend, friend wearing the seat belt, over speeding, multi tasking and casually took his eyes of the road for split second and a CRASH. Damage value approx 7-8 lac rupees.

Every body congratulated him on his fortune, good luck and so on....

Recall the discussion over the phone, house warming, mahurat, preparation and so on.

Pune if you realize the difference between "I am and He was" is just split second and its a fact of life.

Born and so death is inevitable, but death by negligence is definitely uncalled for.

Choice is OUR's....

The spread of light has began.....

11 days,  250 commitments and moving strength to strength.
I have always believed and understood Pune as a cultural city, where love, warmth, sharing, caring and commitment are core values. Pune believes in doing things more than talking alone.
Our campaign and the positive responses are only confirming the cultural core values.

Pune can we make this happen

PUNE ?????

PUNE ?????,

Is it so interesting, logical and macho to carry a helmet and place it on the rear view mirror while riding the bike.

Is it so ammusing to talk with a tilted neck and ride a bike holding the phone between ear and shoulder. Does that make us more efficient, responsible or lovable.

Am sure it must be innovative and a ScI-FcI character feeling to push the cell phone in the helmet from the side and talk.

Do we really care, do we really mean when we say I LOVE YOU to our near and dear ones or are we living a fake life....

Death calls come from left.....

"The entire campaign of i OWE you Pune, is just an eye opener towards all those small things we see, we observe, but don't FOLLOW... reason UNKNOWN ...

Monsoon season, weekends, lovely weather, long drives and obvious may be a weekend get away.

There are a plenty of beautiful places around... LONAVALA remains a hot favorite.

Long express way drive, music, family and friends.

Have you ever observed that in this moment of happiness, we are negligent towards our driving and road safety responsibilities.

On the express highway,
1] At regular intervals its mentioned speed 80km, can you spot any car who follows that speed, in fact all over speed.
2] Regular signage is mentioned, observe lane discipline. Maximum reverse of that happens, you will see 70% heavy traffic is plying from right or middle lane and light traffic zip zap all over the highway lanes.

Are you aware of the deaths on express highway everyday, why deaths even worse injured getting permanent disabled ... imagine LIFE.

DID YOU KNOW that maximum or should I say daily accidents on the express highway happen due to:
1] Tyre Burst
2] Over Speeding
3] Lane Cutting
4] coupled to all the above is not wearing seat belt.

All are outcome of sheer negligence, who can we blame but only Our self.

Please PUNE try and understand the importance of your LIFE, your dreams and the importance of your life for your near and dear ones.
