Dear Boddunan Family Members
The reason i was away for a long time was that I was working on an awards called "NABARD Rural Innovations Awards 2012". I am happy to share that our company, Smaat Aqua won this award! I had invested my time and efforts to get this award!!! yey! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
There were 1400 applications where 30 were selected and 12 were finalists of which, our company was one among the 12!

Imagine if boddunan get award from Mr Chidambaram? that day i will get to see the founder of boddunan, Mr Nagarjuna Bodduna!
of course, Maverick will be there too....
That would be really really great, I would definitely like to be present for the occasion! :) But I don't know why but I always think that Maverick is Nagarjuna???

Today you may think so. Tomorrow you will say Atul is Nagarjuna ;) :laugh: :laugh:
Oh Kalyani
coincidentally my brother in law to one of my cousins also work in Melbourne, Australia and he doesnt want to come back because he was ridiculed in India not having a degree and he earns a very good amount now in Australia !
Yes, kalyani , if given a chance, you and i could earn more there too, but i love my country and i am doing my little bit to help my country by participating in water projects for the rural India :)
You know, bringing pure water to the poor really matters a most to a poor family ,because the women and children can stay home(rather than travelling miles to fetch water), the men can go happily to work and moreover their hospital bills are reduced......
Yes Swetha that is a very sad fact, people get respect based on their degrees and not their intellect and skills in India. Also there is no respect for people who work using their hands, they are looked down upon by others. In other countries if you are able to do something with your own hands, you get a lot of respect!
hahah,Kalyani Maverick is not Nagarjuna
Many times i tried to ask Maverick who is Mr Bodduna, but he always avoided my question or better, he might even block this thread!
No sandya, atul is not Mr Bodduna, poor fellow!
Well, sandhya do you want us to get award from MR Kapil SIbal then?

This is rooted in our caste system. The brahmins were given higher status because of bhookish knowledge of Vedas, scriptures etc. Those days the learned were respected for having studies in some famous Gurukul. although there were no degrees, tag of famous Guru was enough. For example, the 'vishwamitra' tag was attached to Rama. Arjun had tag of Guru Dronacharya. Karan and Eklavya were without such tag. so they were not respected despite merit. Such Guru tags were equivalent to modern time degrees.

Similar to 'Ashan' tags for teachers of Kalaripayattu, archery, fire works etc of Kerala

Yes, that psyche is rooted deeply in our minds due to the caste system! And who can ever forget what happened to Eklavya when he learned the skill all on his own by keeping a statue of Guru Dronacharya as proxy guru?
But after so many decades after independence and increased education, awareness, globalization etc. there has to be change in our mentality, which unfortunately is not seen.
Let me give an example, my father-in-law's best friend happens to be belong to a community of carpenters by tradition. He used to make really beautiful pieces of furniture by hand, now he is 80 and is unable to build anything. His two sons refused to learn the trade and are happy doing jobs when they could easily earn much more money by making furniture! sadly, they despise the craft and this is also the reason why so many traditional crafts and arts are dying in India!

I will give you a nice idea...
Send those carpender sons to kerala.
Here labour cost of a carpenter per day is minimum 1200...even in remote villages :dry: :silly:
So, one month can give more around 35,000 for sure...more than a government sector job :blink: :blink:
