26 October was the day of signing, negotiating and entering into multiple philosophical bouts. We had to manage bringing six Bhalghares and the MNS strongman Daswadkar together to settle their old VISARA issue.
To our utter surprise, Daswadkar talked 'sense'! And nicely too... He acceded to all the Bhalghares' requests directed towards reduction of refundable amount that included a whooping per cent towards 'INTEREST'. I still don't believe, that he actually let-off Bhalgares by reducing interest levels within 'permissible and reasonable' limits. Perhaps that is the difference between a 'strongman' acting for self and the one who 'collects' on behalf of a ' Town place Money Lender' ....
Now my plans seem to be taking a shape..... I may actually be able to grow bamboo on my land..... Still at least one 'if' remains to be taken care of.
Kunk is another chapter..... He actually tried to create a 'public opinion' on whether I should buy land from Bhalgares. No one was able to explain it to him that the deal is subject to approval from the authorities.... He must really be living in to 'Peshawaai' raaj.
My dilemma:
Which Portion of Land do I begin with, given the following facts:
- The whole land is fit for bamboo growth.
- I do not know the part of land that I will eventually own up.
- At 53, I am running short of time for establishment of a sustainable farm.
Let me count on my blessings.....
- Supportive wife and daughters.
- Challenging environment at Home.
- Encouraging friendship.
- Financial security.
Now, I am just waiting for the news about land that I have selected for building house......
