Sindhutaai Sakpal you can call her Maai…

I witnessed the experience shared by this unbelievable woman today. She is Maai…

‘BARAKHADI Dil Se’ had organized a social event only for Maai. I am so proud about the fact that I am also a part of ‘BARAKHADI Dil Se.’

Event was purely organized to know Maai. To make people understand true meaning of life by listening to her dramatic life experience. To help Maai’s foundations by provoking people to do charity.

All I can say is, I don’t have words to express my feelings. It was unbelievable. She came. She spoke. She made approximately thousand people sitting in front of her, emotionally chocked. Eventually, Maai won our hearts.

I had the privilege to have the best view in the auditorium because I was handling the technical department. I was sitting in the sound box, exactly in front of the stage.

Telling her story with my words is simply her insult, as I am not that good in writing and I am too small compared to her. But while the interview was going on, I took some quick notes of insights, which I got from her life experiences. I would like to share those with people who read my blog.

1. Learn from life. Life is always teaching you something, try to understand, what life wants to make you learn. Learn it and go ahead in life. Life is the best institution in the world. There is no theory only particle. Isn’t it great?

2. Never forget favors done to you by anyone including nature. Always try to pay them back whenever the people who helped you in your tough times, whenever they are in need.

3. Face challenging situations bravely. Let challenges know that you are challenging person. Challenges come in life to test you. Don’t succumb to its pressure. In fact these are the opportunities to prove yourself. So be brave and face them confidently. Boldness has magic, power and genius in it. Be bindaast, confident and courageous.

4. Laugh at your troubles. In the testing times you, instead of getting worried and giving in to destructive emotions, just make fun of it and enjoy it. Do not ever be bothered by the troubles. If you are feeling negative, that means you are reacting. Instead, you have to be proactive and be in control of your mental state.

5. Trust the god he is always there with you. He is watching you. He is taking care of you. He knows, what is good and what is bad for you.

6. Never compromise with your values and the purpose of your work.

7. Inner beauty and hygiene is more important than outer.

8. If some task is looking impossible. Think of bold, strange and unique ideas, to get your work done. And just go for it.

9. Forgive all the people; including those who give you tough times because, those tough times would actually help you to shape your life.

Soon I will be posting documentary made by BARAKHADI DIL SE on her life. Also if you want to see the whole interview of this great woman, you can buy the VCD of the program. Please contact, Ulhas on 98210 33736.
