आयटी हब म्हणून मान्यता मिळाल्यामुळे देशभरातून आयटी प्रोफेशनल्सचा पुण्याकडे ओढा असतो. मात्र पुण्यातील आयटी कर्मचाऱ्यांच्या नोकऱ्यांवर गदा आली आहे. या कर्मचाऱ्यांनी जिल्हाधिकारी कार्यालयासमोर ठिय्या आंदोलन केले.
गेल्या दीड-दोन वर्षांपासून या आयटी कंपन्या त्यांच्याकडे वर्षानुवर्षे काम करणाऱ्या इंजिनिअरना या ना त्या कारणाने कामावरुन काढत आहेत. अनुभवी इंजिनियरना कामावरुन काढून नव्या तरुणांना कमी पगारात कामावर ठेवून नफा कमावण्याचा या कंपन्यांचा उद्देश आहे. मात्र यामुळे हजारो आयटी इंजिनिअर बेरोजगार बनत आहेत. त्यामुळे कोणा आयटी इंजिनिअरवर ड्रायव्हर म्हणून कॅब चालवण्याची वेळ आली आहे तर कोणी बेकरी उघडली आहे.
या परिस्थितीचा सामना करण्यासाठी या तरुणांनी एक फोरमही स्थापन केला आहे. मात्र सरकार दरबारी प्रतिसाद मिळत नसल्याने या तरुणांनी गुरुवारी पुण्यातील जिल्हाधिकारी कार्यालयासमोर ठिय्या आंदोलन केले.

Cityblog Salute and Condolences: Atal Bihari Vajpayee (25th Dec 1924- 16th Aug 2018)

 (Dec 1924- Aug 2018)
 End of an Era: Will miss you Atalji. Great Statesman, Orator, Consensus Politician, Visionary, Social Servant, Diplomat, Parliamentarian and PM. More to follow...

Cityblog Salute and Condolences: Ajit Wadekar (1st April 1941-15th Aug 2018)

(1st April 1941-15th Aug 2018)

Ajit Wadekar's name will always be etched in our memories for leading India to her first series wins in England and West Indies against much more formidable opponents. 
every person has a life changing moment and his was when he was travelling by bus to college. he was keen to become an engineer. on the bus, he met Baloo Gupte who offered him the role of a 12th man in their cricket team at a princely amount of Rs 3 per day. Wadekar felt excited with the offer and the cricketing history of our nation changed. the twin victories made us believe that we could stand toe to toe agains5 the best. under him Bombay won 15 consecutive Ranji trophies. a soft spoken humble man never really got his dues from the sport in his later life. RIP Mr Wadekar, you were a role model for many of our generation.

Cityblog Feature: Nayakgiri: Independence Day

Tomorrow morning we will be awakened by Loudspeakers playing patriotic Manoj Kumar songs, Kids will be getting ready to go to school for flag hoisting,  You may have planned to attend flag hoisting at society or office or any social group.  Some will listen to PM speech and rest. There will be trio-color everywhere. Some might use this opportunity to chill out, picnic, long drives, restaurants , movies and so on. Criticizing the rituals now is cliche.  But what options we the people have to make the relevance of independence day more relevant.
Responsibility of independence should be year round and this day be just left to celebration as mentioned above ideally. Following is checklist for year round activities to mark us a as good citizens of Free India. Mind it that though this column does not want to be didactic and holier than thou attitude but simple practical ways I think I can contribute. This list may be edited, added , deleted as you wish depending on individual thoughts but would like to share mine.
l Do I follow traffic rules all the while.
l I do not encourage corruption in day to day and work related issues by offering bribe to achieve my ends
l Do I maintain my locality and neighborhood clean
l Do I help environment by planting trees, not using plastic (minimal), not dumping waste into rivers, maintaining cleanliness, avoid use of cars, AC, bottled waters , not creating loud volume noises and so on.
l Do I vote?
l Do I participate in any social service activity helping under-privileged?
l Do I treat my domestic staff fairly and provide them with dignity?
l Do I treat my elders respectfully and take care of their needs?
l Am I a right influence for my children and younger ones around me.
l Do I use resources optimally like Petrol, Electricity, Water, Food?
l Have I maintained cordial relationships in family, friends, society , community and nation.
l Do I work hard for betterment of my family , office, country and community?
l Do I follow work ethics at work place?
l Do I pay my taxes correctly?
l Have I pledged my organs for donation?
l Am I keen to seek knowledge by reading, using media tools, observation?
l Am I a good brand ambassador for my country outside India?
 List though may seem long but is simple to follow. Do let me know your views in comments if you have.
If you do this then only you have right to criticize system, politicians and society as most of cloumns will do in tomorrow’s media.
Wish you a very Happy Independence Day.

Cityblog Feature Nayakgiri

This is citizen blog. Opinions expressed are citizen's own and cityblog does not subscribe to same.

Whats up

We are now in the last leg of Summer after which colorful festival of Fall mesmerizing everyone in this part of world. Starting with IPL followed by World Cup Soccer, Wimbledon and finally India Vs England series which is not going well for India. But certain individuals excel on sports landscape

Kohli ::
This guy now has no peaks left to conquer: part of test team No1 as player and captain. Part of world cup and CT winning team, Successful economically . Role model for today’s  overaggressive youth. But they should also note his commitment, passion and discipline and his hunger to succeed. Though he may have crossed boundaries on aggression but you can understand him as a part of package called Kohli. Master at chasing, going for win attitude, fitness, elegant stroke play across the field. Timing, placement, great defensive technique, running between the wickets, catching and fielding. May he comeback in series with team India lifting the trophy. And finally in same country lifting the ICC WC 2019. Its just an year away.

P V Sindhu ::
Another sportsperson in limelight was P V Sindhu. She won the silver medal after losing her BWF Badminton World Championships final clash to Spain's Carolina Marin at Nanjing, China. She has vowed to comeback and fight. "Never give up, never give in, and when the upper hand is ours, may we have the ability to handle the win with the dignity that we absorbed the loss - Dough Williams", she wrote. Sindhu went on to write that she wasn't disappointed to not have won the gold but was proud of her silver medal. "It brings me an immense amount of pleasure to bring back the silver consecutively 2 Nd year in the BWF world championships. I didn't lose the gold, I won the silver and I can proudly say my silver sparkles." She was trolled for being happy and contended. But I appreciate her resolve, discipline and dedication to her game. I have heard about her long hours of training under guidance of her coach Gopichand, her motivation. Lets hope she wins gold for India at world and Olympics stage.

World ::
Lots of things happening at highest executive levels in US. Be it Russian poll inquiry, trails, tariff war, G7 stance, Meetings with Russia and N Korea Heads, Mexican wall , shutdown, Guns, National anthem, anti press tirades, Nato issues, justice appointment, restrictive policies, list goes on and on. The mid terms will really gauge public mood or will they not?.
Britain is again at loss to manage impact of Brexit. Turkey had elections or so called ones to support hardliner Erdogan. US stance on Syrian pullout has created confusion and rise is violence. Russia after successful World cup came out winner in most of diplomacy, Pak elections created new set of violence in area including Afghanistan. Imran khan as PM will really be interesting.
