Just Before Monday

Wow ....DNA's new supplement ' JUST BEFORE MONDAY '  is a welcome

addition. The look , the layout , the content is just fantabulous! The

inaugural issue with the cover-story "No biz like godbiz " is a

well-researched , eye-opener. " When leftovers turn Sexy " is yummily

delectable .

And last but not the least " The man who knows too much " made for

highly motivational story . I have kept this issue in safe custody (

cause  my father cuts the good stories for his collection and then

donates those journals to public libraries). I am eager

 to share it with my 12 year old nephew. I am sure he will get

inspiration from the mighty-gutsy Mr. Pradeep Lokhande.

Apropos to the DNA article " Ganeshotsav celebrations push noise

levels to deafening limits ",  Our Ganpati is omnipresent( present

everywhere ) , omniscient ( with infinite knowledge ) , omnipotent ( with unlimited power ).Ganpati

does not need the Loudspeakers to hear the prayers of his devotees.

Ganpati grants  Aashirvaad without any partiality towards higher decibel-loudspeakers , bigger

PoP idols, garish decorations , longer queues for darshan , full

blasting of item-songs on loop.

Solution for the problem of higher noise levels :

We the Mumbaikars must form the vigilant groups of like-minded people

in our own societies and visit the neighboring Mandals , where the

noise pollution is high . We should make the problem-makers aware of

the nuisance caused to the elders , patients , children and pets. We

must persuade them about their civic sense and responsibilities. Last

but not the least , If they don't understand polite language and abide

by the rules , the police must take prompt action against the mandals

, violating the rules.
