One Notice.. from the bottom of my heart

I sincerely thank MadB for translating my post into English for the welfare of those poor souls who cannot comprehend the Marathi of Pune. (Suckers indeed.) This will reach a broader audience I am sure.

Thanks MadB!

Greetings to my dear readers and followers. You have always been my inspiration for writing this blog. I am grateful for your love and hope you shall always support me. However on account of some recent developments, I have been forced to write explosive posts like the one you will read now. My friends and colleagues Nikhil Sugwekar, Ameya Akkalkotkar and Tejas Sant will give me their backing is most certain. Anyway.

http://www.chinmay-datar.blogspot.com(Down the memory lanes...) is my private intellectual property. And since this blog belongs to me and me only, nobody is permitted to plagiarise/steal/publish any material published on this blog. (And no-one has even been nominated for the same). These days a few of my posts (especially the ‘Puneri Lingo’ post) is being circulated as an email forward.  As a writer, I am repulsed by people stealing my ‘Jhampya’ and passing off the cleverly put together examples in their own name. Indeed, I am deeply disgusted.

You may think its easy to nick my posts, but it is not at all easy for me. I have the privilege of being sponsored for some of these posts. I earn some amount of money out of my posts, and the hits they generate. This money is really precious in these difficult times of inflation. When you circulate my post without my explicit permission, I lose out on the number of hits; in turn cutting down my income from the same. It is my heartfelt request to all of you to stop using the content on my blog without permission, otherwise I shall have to resort to harsher measures.

For those who have plagiarized, and the one who have a mind to continue doing so:

1. My posts are an outcome of a lot of time and effort, as also originality. They are not conjured out of thin air by a magic wand.

2. Your patriarch/matriarch doesn’t help me write these articles! The people, who do help me, find their well-deserved acknowledgments at appropriate places.

3. Your family bread-earner will not compensate my financial losses due to your theft, will he? (Approx. $200 monthly)

4. In case it is observed that people from the I.T. sector and the ones with nothing to do but sit in the States and gorge astronomical amounts of food are stealing my intellectual property, rest assured double the usual fine will be taken from them.

5. Plagiarism is a crime. You could be prosecuted if I take the matter to the police.

6. Since you read my blog, it is a given that you are educated and have a basic level of understanding and competency; plagiarism/theft of any kind is simply not expected from people like you. If indeed you have indulged in it, it’s a shame calling yourselves educated.

7. Today you are stealing content off a blog, tomorrow you’ll steal ideas, then maybe money. If this happens then there would be no difference between you and the Congress govt. Please do let the world know that you are only as good as the Congress govt.

8. To avoid plagiarism, please ‘share’ my blog’s link. This way you can forward this stuff, and I get hits too. Also you would avoid the allegations of theft made by my friends (Sugvekar, Akkalkotkar and Sant)

Please do remember one thing: Theft of any kind, be it creative content, speech, or ideas, will not be tolerated

o          In case you have a query as to why I have written this, ready yourself for one tight slap.

o         Henceforth, whoever tries to steal content off my blog without my acknowledgment and without citing the source; tries to pass of my original content as their own, will suffer monetary losses for sure. Please take due note of this fact.

एक सूचना. ekdam manapasun.

माझा माझ्या रसिक वाचकांना नमस्कार. हा blog लिहायला तुम्हीच प्रेरणा ठरता. ही  प्रेरणा अशीच देत रहा हीच सदिच्छा आहे. पण सध्या काही घडामोडींमुळे खालील पोस्टसारखे स्फोटक पोस्ट लिहायला लागत आहेत. माझे सहकारी व मित्र श्रीयुत निखील सुग्वेकर, अमेय  अक्कलकोटकर व तेजस संत यांचा मला नक्कीच पाठींबा मिळेल यात काही वादच नाही. असो..

_-_o_o_o_-_

http://www.chinmay-datar.blogspot.com(Down the memory lanes...) हा ब्लॉग  माझ्या खासगी मलाकिचा आहे. हा blog जरी माझाच असला, तरी ह्यावरील कोणताही मजकूर चोरायची/छापायची इतर कोणालाही परवानगी नाही. (यासाठी कोणाची तशी नेमणूक पण केली नाहीये.) सध्या बरेच ठिकाणी माझे लेख- विशेष करून पुणेरी शुद्ध मराठी बोली वरचे(पुणेरी लिंगो), फॉरवर्डस म्हणून फिरतायत. यातली वाक्यांची उदाहरणे व झंप्या हे दोघेही माझ्या मनातून उत्पन्न झालेले विचार आहेत.  लेखक म्हणून मला झंप्या ची चोरी करून स्वतःच्या नावावर उदाहरणे खपवणारे लोक अशक्क्या डोक्यात जात आहेत.

तुम्हाला माझे लेख/मजकूर चोरणे सोपे वाटत असेल, पण माझ्यासाठी ते तितके सोपे नाही. मला काही लोकांनी हे लेख लिहायला स्पोन्सर केले आहे. माझे लेख, व त्यावर मिळणारे "हिट्स" याच्या आधारावर मला महिन्याला काही रक्कम मिळत असते. सध्याच्या वाढत्या महागाई मध्ये हि रक्कम मला खूप उपयोगी पडते.  तुम्ही माझ्याकडून परवानगी न घेता लेखामधील मजकूर स्वतःच्या फेसबुक/ ई-पत्रांमधून फिरवला, की  मला हिट्स कमी मिळतात, व माझे या मुळे आर्थिक नुकसान होते. तरी माझी तुम्हाला सर्वांना विनंती आहे की ह्या blog वरचा कोणताही मजकूर चोरू नये. अन्यथा कारवाई केली जाईल.


आत्तापर्यंत ज्यांनी मजकूर चोरी केलीये त्यांच्यासाठी (व जे चोरायचा विचार करत आहेत त्यांच्यासाठी देखील):


१) लेख लिहायला मला वेळ आणि डोके दोनीही बरेच वापरावे लागते. उगीचच हवेतून हे लेख तयार होत नाहीत. 
२) तुमचे तीर्थरूप मला लेख लिहायला मदत करीत नाहीत- जे लोक मदत करतात, त्यांचा योग्य ठिकाणी उल्लेख असतो.
३) तुमच्या या चोरीमुळे माझे जे आर्थिक नुकसान होते, ते तुमचे तीर्थरूप भरून देणार आहेत का? ( महिन्याचे साधारण २०० डॉलर्स)
४) आय. टी क्षेत्रातील लोक व अमेरिकेत बसून खादाडी करणारे लोक यांनी मजकूर चोरी केल्याचे आढळून आल्यास त्यांच्याकडून दुप्पट दंड आकारण्यात येईल.

५) मजकूर चोरी- "plagiarism" हा एक गुन्हा आहे. मी पोलिसांकडे तक्रार केल्यास तुमच्यावर कायदेशीर कारवाई केली जाऊ शकते. 

६) ज्या अर्थी आपण माझे हे ब्लोग्स वाचताय, त्या अर्थी आपण नक्कीच सुजाण व सुशिक्षित आहात, यात काही शंकाच नाही. तुमच्यासारख्या सुशिक्षित लोकांकडून कोणत्याही प्रकारची चोरी/ छपाई अपेक्षित नाही. झाली असल्यास मला तुम्हाला सुशिक्षित म्हणायची लाज वाटते.

७) आज तुम्ही मजकूर चोरी करताय, उद्या लोकांचे विचार, पैसे यांची चोरी कराल. असे झाल्यास तुमच्यात आणि कॉंग्रेस सरकार मध्ये काहीच फरक राहत नाही. आपली लायकी कॉंग्रेस सरकार सारखीच, हे कृपा करुन दाखवून देऊ नये.

८) मजकूर चोरी टाळायला माझ्या blog ची लिंक "share" करावी. यांनी तुम्हाला पण फॉरवर्ड पाठवता येतील, मला पण हिट्स मिळतील, व तुम्हाला पण माझ्या मित्रांनी  (सुग्वेकर, अक्कलकोटकर व  संत) तुमच्यावर लावलेला चोरीचा आळ टाळता येईल.

एक लक्षात ठेवा, कोणत्याही प्रकारची चोरी, ती मजकुरातील असो शाब्दिक असो वा वैचारिक असो, खपून घेतली जाणार नाही, व योग्य ती कारवाई केली जाईल.

- हे असे का लिहिले आहे असे विचारल्यास सणसणीत कानाखाली बसेल.

- या पुढे जे कोण blog ची चोरी करेल, माझा व माझ्या सहकार्यांचा उल्लेख न करता, आम्हाला न विचारता कोणताही पोस्ट  इकडे तिकडे स्वतःच्या नावावर खापवेल, त्याचे आर्थिक नुकसान तर होईल याची नोंद घ्यावी.

हुकुमावरून.

Puneri Be-Shuddha Hindi.

We Punekars pride ourselves in having the most fluent Marathi that can be heard. True to the saying- Marathi asavi punekarasarkhi, our Marathi is unique. Grammatically fluent, flawless, and purest form of Marathi can be heard only in Pune. In other places, English words have English meanings. In Pune, English words have Marathi meanings. It’s a foul if you talk more than 5 words in English at a stretch. You talk like that and you are branded as a person from “convents”. Not that Punekars are not fluent in English. If we want, we can speak world class English. But usually we reserve this for showing off our brilliance on the world stage. Punekars are not scared of languages like Marathi, Sanskrit, for these languages are in their blood. Before a Mumbaikar may realize what is being said, a true Punekar has cursed him in fluent Marathi about 10 times. This fluent, purest, stinging, and hurting (kamit kami shabdat jastit jasta apamaan) is a peculiar characteristic of Sadashiv Peth. People from outside have this notion that if you go to Sadashiv Peth, you return insulted in some way, and you don’t even know it. Yes. As Punekars, we are proud that we can do that! And the fact that we do that in Marathi adds more gloss and class to it.

As good as his Marathi may be, the Achilles heel of any Punekar is his Hindi. Every great person has a weakness. A Punekars weakness is his grasp of Hindi. Being advocates and lovers of Marathi, Hindi does not come naturally to Punekars.  His Hindi speech is riddled with Marathi words, which brings about a comical effect. As a Punekar, we are aware of this limitation of ours. But we hardly care. It’s our approach that if you are in Pune, you have to speak in Marathi. If anyone asks a question in Hindi or English or French or for that matter any other language, we reply in Marathi. Probably it’s because of our fear of talking in Hindi that we resort to Marathi. But yes, Punekars are scared of conversing in Hindi. Unless that Hindi is used to describe historical developments. History brings about the best in a Punekar, and language does not become a barrier. Ask a Punekar to tell the world the stories of Shivaji, then forget Hindi, he will even tell them in Tamil, Telgu, any other weird language flawlessly.

But Hindi. Puneri Hindi is comical. Rather the way we speak it, we make it comical. (Yes we like a laugh!) I don’t have to go beyond myself to prove how bad our conversational Hindi is. Here are a few samples of me talking Hindi:

“Arre e!! aisa mat karo tum… kidhar bhi rang dalo, mere doke pe mat dalo”

“Tumhe Shaniwar vadaa kaise jate hai pata nahi hai? Idhar se saral jao.. Bajirao road ayega.. udhar davikade valo..phir vapas saral jao”

“Aho, pishwi vala doodh do.. sutta mat do”

“Saral Saral bolo na tumhe ye karna nahi ata”

“Idhar kachra mat dalo. Agar tum idhar hi zopte, to tumhe kaise lagta?”

“Arre aisa situation ana nahi chahiye. Haat var hote hai!”

"Woh ushta kharkata sab ekatra karo aur kachrapeti mein taak ke aao"

“Are Pune mein jaisa rastyachya bajucha khana milta hai, waisa Mumbai mein nahi milta!”

“Pune ke dukaandaar 1-4 baje dukan band karke kulup laga ke ghar jake masta aram se zopte hai.”

“Tum amarathi logon ko Sadashiv Peth mein nahi ana chaahiye. Hum log tum logon ka tomne mar mar kar haal kharab kar denge!”

"Bhaiyya jaldi jaldi samaan bharo, mujhe aaj solid ghai hai"

These are just a few extreme cases of bad Hindi I remember. With me there must be a thousand other instances where people tell me to stop talking in Hindi. Ask Ravi or Divya for these- they may tell you more about my bad Hindi!

Nevertheless, I do not care how my casual spoken Hindi comes out to be. I am a Punekar and am proud that I can speak shuddha form of the language.
