a mixed response asother unions did notparticipate in thebandh. The same wasseen at the APMC NaviMumbai division,where about 20 percentof the trade was opera-tional at the vegetablemarket and fruit divi-sion.

As per the data,about 100-120 trucksarrived in the vegetabledivision against theusual 500 -650 trucks.While in the fruit divi-sion too only saw 20percent of vehicles en-tering the market. TheOnion and Potato Divi-sion and the Spices di-vision was totally shut.

“We did not receivegoods from Maharash-tra, however we re-ceived vegetables fromother states thus thenumber of vehicles en-tering the market wasless than the usual”,said trader RamdasPawale and corporator

from Koperkhairane.“The fruit market

also saw mixed re-sponse to the Mathadibandh. However, as thebandh was pre-planned, consumers didnot come to the market,said Vijay Bhende, atrader in the fruit mar-ket,

“In the fruit market,400 vehicles enter everyday. However, due tobandh only 50 to 60 ve-hicles i.e. 20% of thegoods arrived in the

market, said former di-rector fruit division,Sanjay Pansare.

While The grainmarket, spice market,onion potato marketwas completely closed.“Onion potato marketreceives 120 trucks dai-ly. However, only onetruck arrived in themarket. Due to this thebusiness was adverselyaffected,” said business-man Suresh Shinde.

“In the spice marketand in the grain mar-

ket, the merchants hadarrived. However, theykept the shutter downand carried the pendingwork. Due to the bandhthere were hardly anycustomers seen in thismarket”, said ArunBhide, a trader at Masa-la Market.

Meanwhile, Naren-dra Patil, MaharashtraRajya Mathadi Trans-port and General Kam-gar Union, General Sec-retary, said the bandhwas successful.

Domestic gas price hike:A pinch in the pocket

The recent hike in the price of domestic gascylinder along with the rise in prices of es-sential commodities like food grains, fruitsand vegetables have depressed the sentimentsof the masses. Ironically, even those welfaresectors which are considered noble and es-sential like education and medical facilitieshave become far too expensive, crippling eventhe average middle class families.To some extent, the rise in prices is unavoid-able due to varying demand and supply situ-ation vis-a-vis rapidly increasing populationin India. Unfavourable weather conditionsalso result in price hike. Further, lack ofwarehousing facilities, cold storages also re-sult in the post harvest losses. However,more than anything else, the major reasonfor rising prices is lack of any timely effec-tive measures taken by the government de-partments to check malpractices of unscru-pulous traders who create artificial shortag-es and charge exorbitant prices. Moreover,in India, inflation or price rise is not just aneconomic concept but they are also a politi-cal tool, often used by the opposition partiesto launch attack on the ruling government.Today, to provide even the basic education totheir wards has become a Herculean task foran average man. It has become almost im-possible for many parents to muster the hugesums which are often demanded as donationsby many schools. In the face of strict ordersby the government, the word donation hasnow been toned down and new words like ‘de-posits’ or ‘charities’ have been coined whichultimately mean one and the same thing-drain of finances of the common man.Similarly, over the past few years, the pricesof medicines have steadily gone up, while themedical facilities have woefully deteriorat-ed. Even for the treatment of common ail-ment quite a large amount is spent on med-icines while the treatment of deadly diseas-es will soon become the privilege of very few.A slight rise in prices is not a bad thing. Itaccounts for the growth in economy rise inemployment, better scales for workers etc.However, sudden and acute rise in prices caus-es an all-round spiral effect on prices thatmakes the life of common people miserable.There is a rippling effect resulting in an over-all recession, sluggish economy and blackmarketing.It is high time that the government plans aregular and an effective system of maintain-ing control on rising prices of at least essen-tial commodities and life saving drugs, tooffer some relief to a common man from thisincreasing burden of rising prices. Partiesafter parties assume power with a pledge tobring an end to the spiralling prices as theirmain electoral plank. But so far, none seemto know the reason or have done anything inthis regard other than blaming the previousgovernment for the unfortunate price situa-tion. If prices of essential commodities con-tinue to rise unchecked, it will not be longbefore a large section of the society will findtheir place below the poverty line graph.

Recently I was inter-viewed for the mostburning topic that isloneliness and depres-sion. The first querywas that why has thisincreased so much inthe current generation.

My reply was thatin the ever growing pop-ulation, we are gettingmore isolated than com-ing together, we aremore depending on gad-gets than our near anddear ones, we are moredepending on medica-tion than meditation,we are looking for hap-piness in things andmaterialistic thingsthan in the inner pow-er.

Also a major shifthas been in our con-sumption of food. First,we went to food, nowfood comes to us. Foodis one of the biggest sub-stitute for many peoplewho fulfill the loneli-ness and depressionwith food. But not forall.

The best way to stayaway from these twokillers is to do the fol-lowing

1. Endorphins are

Loneliness andDepression- Not for us

Failure of the government in curbing riotsDear EditorMOS Home's statement that Delhi riots that erupted on Sunday was

a planned Conspiracy to defame Modi Sarkar in front of Trump is notjust deplorable but infact exposes the ministry's failure. If the ministrywas aware of this conspiracy why didn't it act to prevent it, especiallywhen Trump visit was on, or did he admit that it was an intelligentfailure?

Why was BJP leader Kapil Mishra not arrested and booked underPSA for warning of trouble even in front of police officers. Incidentallyriots broke out hours after this threatening speech.

Letter to the Editors....

Remarkable bowlingtalent of

Ravichandran AshwinDear Editor,Ashwin proved himself and finished as

the decade's highest wicket-taker. Indiaspinner Ravichandran Ashwin has fin-ished the decade as the highest wicket-taker in international cricket with564 wickets across all formats. Only 33, this man has already won thecoveted Arjuna Award in 2014, was the ICC Cricketer of the Year and TestPlayer of the year in 2016, and the CEAT International Cricketer of theYear 2016–17. And this is not even the full list.

Well, this is India’s top off-spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, whose jour-ney to success and fame is nothing short of inspiring. Born and broughtup in Chennai, Ravichandran found his calling for cricket at a young ageand was inspired by his father who played at the club level as a fastbowler. He started as an opening batsman only to graduate further to abrilliant bowler—both medium-paced and off-spin— and finally an all-rounder.

From his debut victory with a Ranji trophy at the age of 20; to secur-ing a solid spot at IPL in 2010 as part of Chennai Super Kings (CSK); tomaking a World Cup debut in 2011, Ravichandran has come a long way.Ever-humble, he attributes his success to the support he received fromhis parents and his teachers.

According to Ravichandran, his career began to take a positive turnafter he joined the St Bede’s Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School andbegan training under school coaches CK Vijay and Chandra. Later, whenhis career began to soar with his Ranji Trophy victory, he found moresupport from his faculty at SSN College of Engineering, where he wassimultaneously completing his BTech in Information Technology.

Many faculty members from SSN recall how Ravichandran would per-fectly balance his studies with his cricket career. The college, meanwhileextended full support to him, with scholarships, extra classes, flexibleattendance etc. He would be allowed to attend classes at least one day ina week and received help throughout to keep up with the course work.The teachers, however, never spared him the hard work, and it is thisacademic rigour that helped him learn essential qualities of discipline,perseverance and improvisation.

In college, he is still remembered as the boy who led SSN to manyinter-university wins. But, one of the most inspiring attributes of Rav-ichandran was his ability to bounce back from any failure whatsoever.Every downfall was an opportunity to aim for a greater height- somethingthat he learnt in college, amid other things.

Founded by Shiv Nadar, chairman of HCL Technologies, in 1996, SSNInstitutions are striving to make a positive difference in society by im-parting education to students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.From the curriculum to the faculty, every stakeholder is invested in notjust creating bright and well-placed engineers, but future leaders. And so,even after getting a well-paid job, Ravichandran decided to follow his pas-sion and focus all his attention on cricket. Owing to that decision, he soonemerged to be one of the leading youth icons in the Indian cricket scene.

In 2017, playing his 45th Test, Ashwin became the fastest bowler topick up 300 Test wickets, breaking Dennis Lillee’s record, who had achievedthe landmark in 48 Tests. In October 2019, in his 66th Test match, Ash-win became the joint-fastest bowler, along with Muttiah Muralitharan, totake his 350th Test wicket. Yet amid all this, what sets him apart is hissincerity as a student and his passion and uncompromising professional-ism as a cricketer.

3. Make it also aroutine to be involvedin community work tomake a difference inthe lives. It gives tre-mendous feeling of hap-piness and gives a goodadrenaline rush to beexcited about theseevents for the needypeople.

4. Taking on a classlike Dance or paintingor pottery is also verygood as the joy of creat-ing new things and es-pecially working withcolours is a great wayto keep our happy juic-es flowing. I began topaint as I was in theverge of my final stageof menopause and sawthat many studentswere of my age and weall not just learn butalso spend the time to-gether laughing andcreating.

5. Working withpets, children or withsenior citizens is anoth-er great way to find alot of happiness. Theyare lonely especially thesenior citizens and theylove to chat and inter-act.

In the process welearn that the worldneeds us and we needthem a and we can savea lot of trouble in ourmind and our pockets.

Book Review of ‘The story ofShivaji- The WAarrior King’

anything else on thelegendary hero. Shiva-ji leaps off the page ina story that rippleswith action and adven-ture and crackles withdaring and imagina-tion. The narrative en-compasses the Mar-atha king’s life frombirth to death, takingin the fabled feats, for-midable forts and theepic escapades he hadwith his band of faith-ful friends. The bookfocuses on Shivaji’s re-lationship with hismother, the legendaryJijabai, who featuresprominently in thebook. But this story isnot only about the greatwarrior, it is also a taleof the love betweenmother and child and

the passionate loyaltyof friends. Interspersedwith playful verse thatmakes the story dy-namic and fun, andincredibly detailedhand-painted illustra-tions that layer andtexture the scenes, thisbook is not simply astorybook, but a trea-sured keepsake. Thestory line can teachgood moral to the chil-dren in bringing outthe best in them.

The Story of Shiva-ji- The Warrior King byNishith Mehta canthrow the freedomspirit among the chil-dren in the best waypossible.
