Baba, You brought tears.
Comment by Abhijit Bhatlekar — February 6, 2007 @ 7:07 pm |
Friends, I remember reading the followings in an article, I have a feeling it is by Baba, it is like this……
Mi mazya aaila AAI mhanat nase, INDUTAI mhanat ase. He baghoon ekda mi shalet baslo astana eka mitrane mala achanak chimta kadhla. Mi mhanalo, chimta ka kadhlas..?? Tar to mhanala, tu AAI GA mhantos ki INDUTAI GA mhantos te baghayla…
Can anybody tell me what is the name of this article and is it by BABA..??

Frineds,
Thanks for creating this lovely site dedicated to a very deserving person. Dr. Anil Awachat graces a unique place in the social fibre of contemporary Maharashtra. Through his report based essays, he carried on almost single handed, a sort of crusade since seventees and has never stopped since. Later, his societal activities took a sharper turn with the founding of Muktangan. So honestly I am overwhelmed to see young people like you making efforts to create this site. We should hope to keep it running and I will occassionally chip in with whatever I have read of him.
This site is an excellent example of the good, proactive side of Webs. Please keep it up.
Regards,
Pradeep Lad

Namaskar, Va – chhan site aahe. Thanks for creating it.
Baba (Anil Awachat) will be visiting us (Baba’s college friend Dr. Talathi, my father) and myself in the U.S. very soon, i.e. in early September. We are trying to arrange some programs for him on radio/universities. Can you please send me a C.V./resume of Baba ASAP? I will also ask Baba for this. In addition, there is a video about Baba that was prepared for BMM Atlanta – around the 2005 time frame… if would be very nice if that video can be uploaded to youtube or other suitable site.
Thanks.
Adwait

Mukta Anil Awachat (Mukta Puntambekar ) and I used to be pen-pals in the 80s.. We were 2 young kids interested in making friends all over the world…we interchanged photos and postcards for over a year after we lost contact! It’s been over 20 years and I still remeber her, and i also remember her mentioning her family, mom Anita, sister Yashoda, and her famous father! please help me reconnect with her!
Thanks a lot
