Nationalist Congress party and (non Nationalist ) Congress

Nationalist congress party of Sharad Pawar and other (not nationalist) Congress of Sonia Gandhi, used to differ on only one issue that is, foreign origin of Sonia Gandhi. Over the years the situation has changed and Sharad Pawar or his party men has no issues with origin of Sonia Gandhi, then for what reasons Sharad Pawar is still maintaining his separate identity?

The issue is brought forth by Congressmen in Maharashtra and Digvijay Singh from MP a congress office bearer, just before the finalizing the understanding for state elections in Maharashtra, between these two parties. It is absolutely right on their part to raise this question. But Sharad Pawar is silent, he knows that, he is going through a bad phase in his political career. The losses in General Elections 2009 and the arrest of his close friend and relative Mr. Padmasinh Patil has worsened the situation for him.

I love Konkan

Just back from Konkan, it is refreshing. You feel charged up, with such a break in a while. I enjoy my native place during heat of may and Ganapati festival, both the times Konkan presents a different hue and texture. The August-September in Konkan is most refreshing period according to my senses. It has the freshness of wet and green environment and shades of green omnipresent as the rice crops are nearing ripening.

Rivers and rivulets are full of crystal clear water which is as inviting.
