VASUNDHARA (Marathi)

THE FAMOUS WRITER MR. GHATE LOVES TO RIDE IN THE REALMS OF SCI-FI. HE COMMUNICATES THROUGH HIS BOOK ‘VASUNDHARA’ MEANING EARTH, WHERE HE QUOTES HIS INNER THOUGHTS. IN HIS WORD, OUR COUNTRY LACKS CURIOSITY IN THE REALMS OF SCIENCE. HENCE, SCIENCE IS GENERALLY SEEN ON THE BACK FOOT IN OUR COUNTRY. NATURALLY, THE NUMBER OF SCI-FI IS ALSO VERY LESS. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH MANY SCIENTIFIC INVENTIONS. THESE HAVE MADE OUR LIFE EASY. THEY HAVE GUARANTEED A SMOOTH AND RATHER TROUBLE-FREE LIFE. BUT, HOW MANY OF US HAVE THIS URGE TO GO TO THE ROOT OF THE INVENTION, TO KNOW ITS WORKING, TO UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE PRODUCTS? FORGET THAT, DO WE EVEN HAVE THIS URGE TO KNOW ABOUT THE FORMATION OF EARTH, THE PLANET ON WHICH WE LIVE AND SURVIVE? IT IS OUR BAD LUCK THAT OUR CHILDHOOD PASSES WITHOUT ANYONE CONSCIOUSLY TRYING TO INITIATE CURIOSITY AND LOVE TOWARDS SCIENCE. NATURALLY, EVERY SINGLE EFFORT IN THE DIRECTION OF INQUISITIVENESS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
