When I look at 2017 in Flashback while wishing HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018

Hello Friends!
I am aware that I have quite irregular in my blogging activities nowadays but let me assure that my passion towards blogging has not faded or please do not feel, I am not serious about the blogging. Well! The truth is I was very busy recently. However, I am going to redesign and reset my blog and website. The fresh look of my blog will be launched and the old blogposts will be updated soon. This blog was in flashlight just because of book reviews which I called as BookLysis! I didn’t even review too many books this year. 2017 is going to an end and the new year 2018 is on its way. Though I will share my resolutions for the new year soon; let me tell you how 2017 was for me.


I remember that I had spent my weekend of December 2016 in Pune and Solapur.
I was in Pune to participate in 23rd Akhil Bhartiya Navodit Marathi Sahitya Sammelan organized at Kunjirwadi. I recited there Manavta and Aayushya and I was I was honored by ‘Jagadguru Tukobarai Sahitya Gaurav Puraskar 2016’ and an another trophy for recitation of the poems. Several local newspapers published the news about my participation in the program. I met some friends who were part of my life via WhatsApp only. I must acknowledge vice president of ABMSP Mr. Rajkumar Kalbhor Sir for rewarding me Rs. 500 in cash after being heard my long poem Aayushya.





Whole world celebrates 31st December in bars or disco, but I had spent the last evening of 2016 devoting my gratitude’s in the most auspicious temple of Lord Vitthal aka Lord Pandurang at Pandharpur in Solapur district, located at central Maharashtra.




When 2016 turns into 2017, I was riding on a bike with Mr. Prasad Mohite on the streets of Solapur. I stayed at his room. Today, Prasad Mohite is the name who does not need any introduction, however still if you do not know him; let me inform you that he and his wife Mrs. Anu Tirnagri-Mohite are two of the most recognized young social workers in Solapur district and nearby area. They run Vanchitanchi Shala- A school for deprived students near police station in Solapur. What could be a better way to start a new year? I started my new year 2017, mingling with underprivileged children learning in ‘Vanchitanchi Shala. I can’t express my joy of such a brilliant start of my new year while watching those underprivileged kids learning happily. After some time, A Young Inspirators Network (YIN) team from Sakal Newspaper’s Solapur edition joined us and we distributed sweets, notebooks and pens to the students which were being donated by them. Actually, I wanted to share my whole experience in detail but I could not do that; however I will try to post a new blogpost about my particular experience in Marathi.







After a unique start of my new year I attended the Rajyastariya Shikshak Kavi Sammelan organized by Kavyapremi Shikshak Manch for which I was there in Solapur. I recited ‘Preyasila vinanti’ at the program and honored by Rajyastariya Kshitij Kavyapremi Shikshak Kavi Sanman 2017. I thank Mr. Ramdas Deshmukh Sir for making my trip possible for me.






After the program I went to Tuliapur and met my friend Navnath Kawde before worshipping in the Tulja Bhavani temple.


January 2017 was quite special for me. I was invited as one of the chief guests to deliver a speech and guide students in the presence of former MLA Hon. Mr. Ramratan Raut and sitting member of legislative assembly (MLA) Hon. Mr. Mr. Sanjay Puram for the inauguration ceremony of Annual Cultural Programs (gathering) at Smt. Soniyabai Dudhnaag Primary and Madhyamik Ashram Shala, Mhaisuli near Chichgarh in Deori tehsil in my district on dated 26th January 2017. Although I have an audio clip of my speech, I am looking forward to get my video clip and publish that on upcoming republic day of India. However you can listen my speech on Google Drive.



I also recited a poem Shetivar Kavita’ at 3rd Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Shetkari Sahitya Sammelan and honored by ‘Yugatma Sharad Joshi Shetkari Sahitya Sanman’ in Gadchiroli on 25th February 2017.

I thank my friend  ‘Hrudaymanav’ Ashok Thokal for shortlisting my name and considering my work eligible for one of the 13 recipients of this prestigious award.

This year my English poem ‘I can’t live…’ got published in an international poetry anthology titled Feathers: The Hall of Poets by Hall of Poets which is available on Amazon.in and Amazon.com. I thank to the editor Dr. Prerna Singla and entire editorial board for short-listing my poem and giving me an opportunity to get featured in an international anthology.


This year I got an opportunity to evaluate some literary competitions organized by several WhatsApp groups. Names of few are ‘Kon Hoil Sahitya Samrat? On ‘Shabdankur’ and Zatpat Prashnottare on ‘Kavyapremi Shikshak Manch’. I would like to thank Mrs. Pallavi Kolhapure-Patil ma’am and Mr. Sameer Bapat Sir for believing on my skills and giving me such a huge responsibility.

I was also featured in two online interviews i.e. ‘Dilkhulas Mulakhat’ by Sahitya Kavyagandh and ‘Online Sahityik Bhet’ by Shikshak Kavi Manch. I would like to thank Mr. Gajendra Dhavlapurikar Sir, Mr. Ramdas Deshmukh Sir and Mr. Anand Ghodke Sir for giving me such opportunities to be featured on their well-recognized WhatsApp groups. I also published few weekly articles on Kavyapremi Shikshak Manch for ‘Olakh Eka Sahityikachi’ Activity. I have also been appointed as the Gondia district’s President of ‘Kavyapremi Shikshak Manch’. We recited our poems (in a dialect Zadiboli) in an activity titled Kavyarajni by Kavyapremi Shikshak Manch.

You can read my detailed review of You Are The Best Wife on my website and I will read Her Last Wish soon. My name was mentioned in also debutant author Ankit Kumar’s story book ‘A Trip To Maharashtra’ which I am reading nowadays. My few poems are published in other eBooks anthologies.

HIV-AIDS (एचआयव्ही - एड्स- Poem by Rajesh D. Hajare RDH)

HIV-AIDS (एचआयव्ही - एड्स )
- राजेश डी. हजारे 'आरडीएच'


World AIDS Day (1 December) (Source: Mid Day)(Poem by RDH)

१९५९ साली डेमोक्रेटिक रिपब्लिकन ऑफ कांगो  मधील 
किंशाशा मध्ये सापडला एचआयव्ही  चा पहिला रुग्ण 
सारा जग एड्स  च्या चिंतेने झाला होता मग्न
१९८६ साली सर्वप्रथम एड्स  ने पाय टाकले  भारतात
राज्यातले ३२ जिल्हे घेरले एड्स  ने एकट्या महाराष्ट्रात
१ डिसेंबर १९८८ रोजी लंडनमध्ये 
आरोग्य मंत्र्यांची बैठक झाली.
जागतिक आरोग्य संघटनेने १ डिसेंबर 
'जागतिक एड्स दिन' म्हणून घोषणा केली.
एचआयव्ही  म्हणजे- 
'ह्यूमन ईम्युनोडेफीशीएन्सी व्हायरस' 
जो आहे विषाणू
एड्स  म्हणजे- 
'एक्वायर्ड ईम्युनो डेफीशीएन्सी सिंड्रोम' 
जो एचआयव्ही  चा मेनू
एड्स  च्या बाबतीत आफ्रीकेनंतर भारताचा स्थान दुसरा!
केव्हाही भारत जाऊ शकतो पहिल्यावर हे नको विसरा!
एड्स  या रोगावर आजपर्यंत एकही लस नाही सखी
आफ्रिकेत तर दिवसाकाठी एड्स  ने ९०० पडतात मृत्यूमुखी
एड्स  झाल्यावर ३ ते १५ वर्षे रोगाची लक्षणे कळत नाही
१० रुपयात (मोफत) रक्तचाचणी करून तपासून घ्या
आपल्याला तर एचआयव्ही एड्स  नाही?
एड्स  म्हणजे-
'रोगप्रतिकारक शक्तींच्या कमतरतेमुळे 
निर्माण होणाऱ्या रोग लक्षणांचा समूह आहे.'
खरं सांगतो राजेहो
एड्स  संसर्गजन्य नाही असंर्गजन्य आहे
महिनाभरात वजन कमी, खोकला, जुलाब 
एड्स ची लक्षणे
एड्स  वर प्रतिबंधात्मक उपाय म्हणजे 
नवीन सुई, ब्लेड व निरोध वापरणे
एचआयव्ही  म्हणजे सुरुवात एड्स  ज्याचा अंत
एड्स  म्हणजे असा रोग मृत्यूच त्याचा अंत
एड्स  नाही होत चुंबन, हात मिळवल्याने व आलिंगनाने
तो तर होतो असुरक्षित लैंगिक व शारीरिक संबंधाने
२००४ चे घोषवाक्य-
"वचन पाळा-एड्स टाळा !"
"एड्स जाणा-एड्स टाळा !"
शेवटी मी 'आरडीएच' सांगतो एकच काम करा रे
पाळा 'आरडीएच' राजेश हजारे चे खाली दिलेले नारे
"एड्स समस्येवर चर्चा करा घराघरात-
आणि एड्स ला पळवून लावा अगदी एका झटक्यात !"
"चला मोहीम हाती धरूया-
महाराष्ट्र, भारत व जगाला एड्स मुक्त करुया !"
