First Gear
I dont know who have written this but its worth reading, i got this in mails, first class
स्मरण फर्स्ट
त्या दिवशी गाडी चालवत होतो. मुंबईत गाडी चालवायची म्हणजे क्लच, ब्रेक आणि गिअर बरोबर झटापट ही आलीच. बदलत जाणारे गिअर्स आणि त्यामुळे बदलत जाणारा गाडीचा वेग यावरून एक कल्पना सुचली.
गाडी सुरु झाल्यावर तिला पुढे नेण्यासाठी आपण 'फर्स्ट गिअर' टाकतो. हा 'फर्स्ट गिअर' म्हणजे आपल्या जवळची सख्खी माणसं. आई-बाबा, जोडीदार, मुलं, जवळचे मित्र...
हा पहिला गिअर टाकल्याशिवाय गाडी पुढे जात नाही. मुंगीच्या गतीने का होईना गाडी न थांबता 'पुढे' जात राहिली पाहिजे हा पहिला 'संस्कार' फर्स्ट गिअर करतो.
इथे आपल्याला unconditional प्रेम मिळतं, सुरक्षितता मिळते. गाडी 'बंद पडणार नाही' याची पुरेपूर काळजी हा फर्स्ट गिअर घेतो. परंतु गाडी 'पळण्यासाठी' इतका कमी वेग पुरेसा नसतो.
आपण गाडीचा वेग वाढवतो. सेकंड गिअर टाकतो ! इथे आपल्याला घराबाहेरचं विश्व कळू लागतं.
शाळा, कॉलेज, पुस्तकं, मिडिया, आपले छंद, विविध कला..... बाहेरचं जग किती मोठं आहे आणि माहिती आणि ज्ञानामुळे हेच मोठं जग किती जवळ आलं आहे, हे कळतं.
समोर पसरलेला संधीचा आणि प्रगतीचा रस्ता आता आपल्याला खुणावू लागतो.
गाडीचा वेग आणखी वाढवण्यासाठी आपण आता थर्ड गिअर टाकतो. गाडीचा वेग आणखी वाढतो. हा थर्ड गिअर म्हणजे आपला नोकरी धंदा आणि त्यातून मिळणारं विना-खंडित उत्पन्न. गरजे पुरतं घर, कपडा लत्ता, भांडीकुंडी, पहिला फ्रीज, पहिला टीव्ही, प्रसंगानुरूप हॉटेलिंग, सणासुदीलानवीन कपडे, चांगले मार्क मिळाले तर मुलाला/मुलीला सायकल वगैरे थर्ड गिअरमध्ये येतं. या गिअरमध्ये आपण बऱ्यापैकी स्थिरावतो. गाडीचा वेग ना कमी ना जास्त. सेकंड मधून थर्ड गिअर मध्ये आलो तेव्हा वेग जास्त होता हे मान्य, पण आता तोच वेग कमी वाटू लागतो.आपण आता 'फोर्थ गिअर' टाकतो. गाडी सुसाट निघते. मनात आलं कीहॉटेलिंग-शॉपिंग-मल्टीप्लेक्स, गाडी, latest मोबाईल, 1 BHK मधून 2 BHK, laptop, ह्याउ नि त्याउ..!या वेगाची नशाच काही और! गम्मत म्हणजे आपण पाचव्या गिअर मध्ये कधी जातो हे आपल्यालाच कळत नाही... आता गाडी अक्षरश: तरंगत जात असते. हजार... लाख... कोटी... खर्व.... निखर्व...... रुपये नाहीत, गरजा!
हा 'वेग' खूप आनंददायी असतो. आपल्या गाडीच्या आड कोणी येऊ नये, ' लाल' सिग्नल लागू नये असं मनोमन वाटत असतं....
आणि... आणि.....आणि...
... ‘नियती’ नावाचा एक स्पीडब्रेकर समोर येतो. तो खूप प्रचंड असतो.
गाडी थांबवण्यावाचून आता पर्याय नसतो. पाच.. चार.. तीन..दोन...एक....
खाट खाट गिअर मागे टाकत आपण आता neutral वर येतो. कचकावून ब्रेक लागतात. गाडी पूर्ण थांबते. आपल्या अंगाला खूप मोठा झटका बसतो.
पाचव्या गिअर मध्ये गाडी असताना आपण कधी काळी फर्स्ट गिअर देखील टाकला होता याचा विसर पडला होता. वरचा प्रत्येक गिअर टाकताना त्या गिअरची अशी एक मानसिकता होती...आज एक एक गिअर मागे येताना हे पहिल्यांदा जाणवलं.गाडी आता पूर्ण थांबली आहे. गाडी आता पुढे न्यायची आहे.. मला सांगा कुठला गिअर टाकाल?सुसाट वेगाचा पाचवा गिअर?
की मुंगीच्या वेगाचा पण गाडी चालू ठेवेल असा 'फर्स्ट गिअर'?
आयुष्यात जेव्हा पराभवाचे, निराशेचे क्षण आले होते, तेव्हा कोण होतं तुमच्या जवळ? कोणी दिला होता आधार ? आठवून पहा. प्लाज्मा टीव्हीने? EMI भरत विकत घेतलेल्या extra बेडरूमने? नव्या कोऱ्या गाडीने? 'You are promoted' असं लिहिलेल्या कागदाने?मी सांगतो कोण होतं तुमच्याजवळ. तुम्हाला आधार दिला होता फर्स्ट गिअरने!
आर्थिक अडचणीच्या वेळी आपल्या उशाखाली नोटांचं पुडकं हळूच ठेवून जाणारे बाबा, निरागस प्रश्न विचारून आपल्या चिंता घालवणारी आपली चिमुरडी मुलं, 'होईल सगळं व्यवस्थित' म्हणत डोक्याला बाम चोळून देणारी 'बायको'नावाची मैत्रीण, बाहेरचं खाऊन त्रास होऊ नये म्हणून पहाटे उठून पोळी भाजीचा डबा बनवणारी आई, 'त्या' काळात आपल्या Frustration चा‘कान’ होणारे आणि योग्य सल्ला देणारे जिवाभावाचे मित्र हे सगळे फर्स्ट गिअर तुमची गाडी ओढत नव्हते का?
Don't Get Me Wrong.
माझा चवथ्या-पाचव्या गिअर्सना आक्षेप नाही.
त्या वेगाची धुंदी जरूर अनुभवूया. त्याचा आनंदही उपभोगुया. फक्त त्यावेळी आपल्या 'फर्स्ट गिअर्स' चं स्मरण ठेवूया.आयुष्याचा वेग मधून मधून थोssडा कमी करत पुन्हा एकदा फर्स्ट गिअरवर येऊया.सुसाट वेगाचा 'arrogance' इथे नाही... गाडी थोडी हळू चालेल हे मान्य. 'फर्स्ट गिअरचं' अस्तित्व लक्षात घ्यावंच लागेल असा हा वेग असेल.त्या निवांतपणाशी थोडं खेळूया आणि मग टाकूया पुढचा गिअर!जाता जाता आणखी एक.
स्वत:लाच एक प्रश्न विचारूया...
दुसऱ्या कुणाच्या आयुष्याचा मी बनू शकेन का ‘फर्स्ट गिअर’?

Bank Pass Book
Piya married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Piya's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook With Rs.1000 deposit amount.
Mother: Piya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'
Piya shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.
This was what they did after certain time:
- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage
- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Piya
- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Piya got pregnant
- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted
.... and so on...
However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love... One day Piya talked to her Mother: 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore.
We agree to divorce.
I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'
Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'
Piya thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home. When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.
The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Piya.
She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record:
'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you throughout all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.
"Life is about correcting mistakes."

Work, Family ,Health and spirit
Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. but the other four balls - Family, Health, Friends & Spirit - are made of glass.If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably
scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.
Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends & have proper rest."

A lesson from donkey
Once upon a time a Washer man was bringing up two donkeys.
Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.
Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washer man’s attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him.
Innocent Donkey-B is normal, so it will walk normal, irrespective of the washer man’s presence. After a period of time, Washer man started pressurizing Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A. But Donkey-B unable to walk fast, got continuous punishment from washer man. It was crying and told personally to Donkey-A "Dear friend, only we two are here, why to compete with each other....we can carry equal load at normal speed ".
That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told to washer man that it can carry more load and even it can run fast also.
Obviously happier washer man looked at Donkey-B.., his BP raised and he started kicking Donkey-B. Next day with smile, Donkey-A carried more load and started running fast. But it was breathtaking for Donkey-B and it couldn't act that way....But the washer man was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell
down hopelessly.
Then Donkey-A felt itself as a supreme and happily started carrying more load with great speed. But now the Load of the Donkey-B is also being carried by Donkey-A., and still it has to run fast. For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling the pain. But washer man expected more from Donkey-A. It also tried best, but couldn't cope up with his owners demand. The Washer man got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing to take more load... Donkey-A was crying for long time and then tried its best... But it couldn't meet the owner's satisfaction. Finally the day came when due to frustration the washer man killed Donkey-A and went for searching some other Donkeys.
Its an endless story...........
But the moral of the Story in Corporate and social life is......,
"Think all colleagues are same and that everyone is capable.... Always Share the Load equally..... Don't ever act smart in front of your Boss and never try for getting over-credit...
Don't feel happy when ur colleague is under pressure.. "
It doesn't matter if u r A or B, for the boss you will always be a DONKEY!!!

Be Happy - Forget Past
"A wise man once sat in the audience & cracked a joke.
All laughed like crazy. After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time.
He cracked the same joke again & again, When there was no laughter in the crowd, he smiled and said "When u can't laugh on the same joke again & again, then why do u keep crying over the same thing over and over again. "
'Forget the past & move on'…
Goodbye Mom
hope this touches you the way it touched me! Goodbye Mom
A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped.
Furthermore she kept staring at him.She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look ! so much like my late son."He answered, "That's okay.""I know it's silly, but if you'd call out 'Good bye, Mom' as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy.
"She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom."The little old lady waved and smiled back at him.Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries.
"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk."How come so much? I only bought 5 items."The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."
Bet, you thought this was going to be a tear jerker!!! J
