नमस्कार मंडळी!
शाळेला सुट्ट्या सुरु झाल्या आहेत, आता अनेकांना पर्यटन, मायदेशी जाण्याचे वेध लागले असणार आहेत.
ह्या सगळ्या धांदलीत सगळे गुंग व्हायच्या आधी एक प्रेमळ आठवण करून देत आहे! यंदा देखील आपण सर्व जण निसर्ग वारी साजरा करणार आहोत.
हे वारीचे चौथे वर्ष आहे! जी मंडळी नवीन असतील त्यांच्यासाठी निसर्ग वारीचे स्वरूप थोडक्यात अधोरेखित करते,
कोविड काळात जेव्हा महाराष्ट्रात वारी प्रतीकात्मक स्वरूपात करण्यात आली तेव्हा आपण इथे अमेरिकेत, अटलांटा इथून पहिली आंतरराष्ट्रीय वारी आयोजित केली होती, त्या वर्षी अटलांटाचे १२० वारकरी आपल्यासोबत तब्ब्ल ३१ दिवस चालत होते. आषाढी एकादशीला सगळे भेटून एक मैल टाळ मृदूंगाच्या गजरात चालले आणि स्थानिक जातीची चाळीस ब्लूबेरी ची झाडे आपण लावली. निसर्गात, चराचरात पांडुरंगाची प्रचिती अनुभवत मंडळी चालत होती, अंतर होते १५५ मैल, देहू ते पंढरपूर जेवढे अंतर आहे, तेवढे हे अंतर असून, वारकरी हे अंतर २१ दिवसात पूर्ण करतात तर आपण दहा दिवस अधिक घेऊन, हे अंतर पूर्ण केले! सगळ्यांनी मिळून तब्ब्ल १०,००० मैल इतके अंतर पहिल्या वर्षी पूर्ण केले होते!

नियम सोपे आहेत,
प्रत्येकाने दररोज जमेल तसे ५ मैल अंतर चालायचे, घराजवळील बागेत, कुठे पार्क मध्ये अथवा अगदी नॅशनल पार्क मध्ये देखील! वाटेत निसर्गाच्या मनहरी रूपात पांडुरंग शोधत, त्याची छायाचित्र घेता आली तर घेत चालायचे आहे. शेवटच्या दिवशी सगळ्यांनी एकत्रितपणे भेटून पारंपरिक वारीसारखे चालत एक मैल अंतर पूर्ण करायचे आणि स्थानिक झाडे लावायची.
निसर्ग वारीत सहभागी होण्यासाठी खालील फॉर्मम भरणे आवश्यक आहे आणि सर्व सहभागी लोक एका व्हाट्सअँप ग्रुप वरून जोडली जातील. प्रत्यकाला ई-मेल आणि व्हाट्सअँपच्या माध्यमातून रोज एक अभंग आणि निरूपण पाठवण्यात येईल. तसेच चालताना सोबत म्हणून १ तास ४० मिनिटे एवढ्या लांबीची एक अभंगांची प्लेलिस्ट spotify आणि जियो सावन वरून पाठवण्यात येईल.
निसर्ग वारीत रोजचे आपले अंतर ५ मैल किंवा कमी अधिक असेल तसे रोज गुगल स्प्रेडशीट वर नोंदवायचे आहे.
शेवटच्या दिवशीबाबतच्या सविस्तर सूचना कालांतराने सांगत राहू.

यंदा आपली वारी १७ जून रोजी सुरु होऊन १७ जुलै रोजी आषाढी एकादशीच्या दिवशी संपन्न होणार आहे.
(भारतातील मूळ वारी २८/२९ जून रोजी सुरु होणार आहे)
नोंदणीसाठीचे फॉर्म : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmlF80ZnjyMlInbbS0BTeCdldWgsgS8kpWWUWDjpr3sLaTXg/viewform?usp=sf_link

तर चला १५ जून पर्यंत नोंदणी करून यंदाच्या निसर्गवारीत सहभागी व्हा! आपल्यासोबत आपली लहान मुले, वृद्ध आई वडील, शेजार पाजारचे सर्वच मंडळी वारीत भाग घेऊ शकतात, प्रत्येकी एक फॉर्म अवश्य भरावा!
तसेच तुम्ही गावाला जाणार असाल तरी कुठूनही चालू/धावू शकता, सायकल, अथवा पोहून देखील अंतर पूर्ण करता येऊ शकते. अंतर कमी जास्त झाले तरी चालेल, सातत्य महत्वाचे आहे.
जय हरी विठ्ठल!

We all have a self image, the one that floats in front of our eyes, when we close them. This is probably the closest it comes to my element! Everything about this ensemble is traditional yet quirky! The Bengali cotton saree, the south Indian style checkered blouse, the silver mother of pearl earrings from the Himalayan markets, a parijatak flower shaped nosepin and an eccentric find from bazaars of Delhi and Vandana Shiva-ish big red bindi! I don't really dress like this often but each time I do, I feel some place home!
I literally feel like am wearing nostalgia! Like wearing India from my memories...
Do you know what nostalgia feels like?

Unfurling possibilities!
Spring teaches us a thing or two about the immense magic of potential! This blushing pink green sprig shall be a tall crowning pine tree one day! The same magic applies to investing in real estate, each home you purchase, each apartment, townhome you own and rent out, slowly, ever so slowly you are building wealth. Unfolding the magic of compounding and growing your resources.
As the interest rates float around 3%, the fear and uncertainty seems real, but for sure there are some great opportunities in the market to invest...What's springing for you this spring?

Sometimes beauty is achingly beautiful, it makes you stop in your tracks, ponder over it's magic and the reason of it's existence. Sometimes it just lightly taps on your shoulder, sprinkles some joy and flits away...
As the week winds down, take a moment to find beauty around your home, city or within you!
Happy Friday Folks!

March 2020! This entire month, last year, was all about exploring our immediate surroundings. Taking in beauty with awe and wonder from our neighborhood. It was a month of traveling in our own backyard, our own town. The discoveries taught us a thing or two, about slowing down, opening eyes to beauty in the vicinity and that travel always doesn't mean packing bags and going some place far away.
North Atlanta towns like Suwanee, Cu***ng, Alpharetta, have such amazing gems waiting to be discovered. Filled with interesting trails, water bodies and even river islands...
Let me help you call this place home!

These past few weeks have been trying, emotionally draining and rough...With highs and lows, feels like walking through a haze. What I held on to was habits, just plain good habits, no matter how crazy the personal news and national news looks like, we have to eat right, drink water and exercise! The new normal is here and it is hoisted on the habits we are forming, the investments we are making and futures we are dreaming about.
So are you still planning for your investments, additional income streams and real estate investment? Because these habits of investment, saving and planning will finally hoist us up during the financial uncertainty of our current time.
Planning for real estate investment? Let's talk about it!

Today's ACJ.

Celebration of birth, rejuvenation and death, all are needed!
Here I am, celebrating the rains, the greenery and rain mixed sunshine in Atlanta and also stories around it from India. Proud of this treasured heritage but not vain, glad to be a mere courier of this culture, passing it on to the next generation.
The distilled essence of it all matters, not the ritualistic jingoism shrouding it!
Also celebrating the release of my first ever book in India! "Sanjwat" by

While the work continues, I still serve Atlanta as their ever helpful friend when it comes to their real estate needs!

For many young parents across United states schools begin sometime this week or next, with limited choices either way, sending children to school where masks are not enforced or keeping them at home and risking productivity dips or worse...It sure looks like a roller coaster trip through crazy days. As working parents, we have come up with a few ideas, sharing it with you, as we are all in this together!
1. Create boundaries in the home, where possible, so kids identify school area, parent's working area and play areas around the home. 🚫🏡
2. Create a stash of favorite books, activities as a busy box, every time you are busy on a call or some other work, n your lil one is waiting for your help, encourage them to work on something from the busy box, instead of running around or being super distracted☑️▶️🔤📚📑
3. Prep up foods which are easy to eat using hands, on the go foods like wraps, cheesesticks, fruits etc so lunches can be easy and quick🍉🍎🥙🌮🥗🍿🍱
And finally be kind and graceful to yourself first and everyone else, if things don't go as planned. There will always be another day and we all can try again. 🍸
