Pandit Limaye, had set up the Vasantrao Deshpande Sangeet Sabha (VDSS) in 2000, to continue the legacy and cultural heritage of his Guru, who had command over “surs”, purity in singing and had capacity to captivate listeners with his mercurial and dramatic style of singing.To revive the memories of Vasantrao and take forward his heritage, Pandit Limaye has organised different programs.

Pandit Limaye is the chief trustee of the VDSS, which has organised inaugural program on 5 May 2019, from 5 PM to 10 PM at Ravindra Natya Mandir, Prabhadevi. A special souvenir dedicated to Vasantrao will also be released in the program. Achyut Godbole, Pandit Shankar Abhyankar, Pandit Satyasheel Deshpande, Faiyyaz, former Police Commissioner Arvind Inamdar, former Lok Sabha Speaker and Maharashtra Chief Minister Manohar Joshi and others will be present. The speakers will revive the memories of Vasantrao on the occasion. 

As part of the function, a special program titled “Vasant Bahar”, throwing light on Vasantrao’s singing, will be staged. Pandit Limaye will perform with his disciples, the immemorial compositions of Vasantrao, including “Bandish”, “Thumri”, “Natya Sangeet” and film music, in an audio visual program. The audience will also get the opportunity to enjoy the songs by Nupur Kashid-Gadgil (Gwalior gharana) and Padmbhushan Pandita Prabha Atre. This program has been kept free for the audience on the occasion of birth centenary.

The programs will be organised by VDSS also in Pune, Kolhapur, Sangli, Nashik, Solapur, Belgaon and Goa on the occasion of the birth centenary. Besides, workshops will also be organised.

Rajneeti ki Pathshala conducted a workshop on awareness of Indian Politics

 Bollywood, Cricket and Politics are three favourite topics of every Indian, we want to have good leaders and parties but forget to practice what we preach.

Rajneeti ki Pathshala  is an initiative started by Mr. Ajay Pandey which is a team of people who believe that Politics should be taken seriously. He says that “It is important for all the citizens to know how the political and administrative system works. There are not many ways through which an interested candidate can obtain information about Indian politics and administration. Hence, we at RKP aim to educate the citizens about politics and bring about a revolution. We believe that educated citizens would make our society a better place to live in. We conduct workshops and sessions to educate people and explain to them the reason why politics is so important. We truly believe in this initiative and hope that it will be a successful endeavour.”

Continuing his mission of recognizing achievers from various fields, the Rajneeti Ki Paathsala team, not only felicitated various women achievers, but also held a seminar on the topic “Women in Politics”.

And when names like Advocate Abha Singh, Socialite Nisha Jamvwal and Dr. Naavnidhi.K.Wadhwa come together at the same platform. One can expect a flow of thoughts and ideas that can change enlighten anybody.

Amongst the awardees were names like “Ms. Seema Negi”, “Ms. Savita Pande” , “Ms. Aarti Notiyal” etc,

These ladies have defied all obstacles and have stood proudly against all odds and made a mark in their respective fields.

Rajneeti Ki Pathshala (School of Politics ) has been started to take the initiative for taking Indian politics at another level and empower it by putting moral and ethical values in it. The main objective of the school is to create awareness amongst the youth about the basic rights and duties given in the constitution of India. They want to make the Indian masses aware of the existing social and political state of affair. They help citizens understand and accept those noble elements of the politics, on the basis of which great leaders had created the nation and the constitution. They want to sow the seeds of knowledge and consciousness in public and fiercely support the principles of inexplicable honesty and integrity in all political activities. They are committed to recognise the system and to change the negative image of politics in the modern public opinion and make aware of the power of an honest democratic order.  They are committed to bringing awareness amongst the citizens, that they can apply these political principles based on honesty and integrity, in different aspects of their lives. They encourage active participation of the youth; focus on public welfare, bracing the elements of constitutional principles and politics, so that we can prepare future leaders for our country. The basics of observing, learning and leading are rooted in our primary efforts. They firmly believe that the political education and understanding, constitutional integrity and honesty can bring a positive change in our country.

PreMarital Sex

              First thing first and that is sex in this post. If we believe that Sex = making Love then it's passionate true love, not just an act of lust. Every thing is fair in Love. The Question is whether it is Marital or Premarital ?  

              Umm ...uhh... hummm ...  Why ? When ? questions and answers with Different Perspectives. 

              "Premarital sex is a sexual activity practiced by persons who are unmarried." Now this wiki-definition is so ambiguous. Persons can be of opposite gender or of same gender. If persons i.e. lovers are of same gender then in many countries they are not permitted to marry. In that case, what option they have other than Premarital sex ? 

               Premarital sex , Yes or No ... both options have Pros and Cons. Almost all would agree that, Premarital sex among adults who love, trust and are loyal to each other, who are ready to shoulder the responsibility is Capital YES while Premarital sex among children ( below 18 years of age ), who are physically, mentally, economically dependent on their parents is Capital NO. 

               Premarital sex among the adult-bachelors is some-what common in metro-cities all over the World. In today's MOM-age I mean Mars Orbiter Mission-age, not Mother-age, adults are so busy with their careers that they hardly have time to think about settling down. Young generation work hard to achieve their fluorescent dreams. Naturally they want to party harder with their friends , partners , sweethearts etc. to alleviate their slogging. Music, Dance, Drinks and Dear, loving partner all make for such a heady combination. In such euphoric parties, love-making i.e. sex is common phenomena , where the partners are not yet married. Not married but love, trust and loyal to each other.

                Most of the times, marriage hurdles the ascending career-graph of the girls. The married girls have to do household daily chores , cook food , look after children well as elders. The wives from conservative families are not allowed to stay late in the office. So the girls delay the marriage, even though they have a boyfriend. In such cases, premarital sex happens. The only word of caution here will be 'Take care of yourself and your loyal, loving and trusting partner. Safe Sex is the key-word for premarital sex'

              As far as Indian boys are concerned, they have extra responsibility of buying apartments, cars, furniture, jewelry etc. for the bride. Young people find it difficult to incur heavy expenses for the big, fat Karan Johar style extravagant wedding ceremonies. After all, all bachelors are not lucky like Arpita, to have Salman Khan as a Bhai to gift them the Taj-Falaknuma-Palace -wedding. In such situations, what choice do the young people have than the premarital sex with their loyal lover? 

               Let's take an example of a girl and a boy who love each other. They love each other, but their families don't stand each other because of differences in caste, cultures, religions etc. In this scenario , what option does the couple have ? Even if their respective families agree for the match , but in the space-starved cities they don't have their own home, then where would they stay post-marriage ? In such cases premarital sex is totally acceptable as the couple will certainly marry for their eternal love, in near future. 

               Premarital sex is considered taboo in many cultures and considered a sin in almost all religions. It became more commonly accepted in developed / Western European countries like Spain, Germany, France etc. in the last few decades. It was sort of aftermath of industrial revolution. As the large scale production boosted economy, people became more materialistic. 

               " No Sex Please, We are Indians " has been the foreigners' point of view about Indians. If we look at the alarming population growth in India, it's evident that sex is happening. But it's not Premarital. You may say ' Oh how bourgeois !' My personal view is  ' Nay - No -Never , PreMarital sex is DANGER , avoid it like a Cancer '
