The noted Marathi film star Makarand Anaspure addressed the students in a prize distribution ceremony as a part of Golden Jubilee Celebration of Gadchandur Shikshan Prasarak Mandal Gadchandur and its offspring Mahatma Gandhi Vidyalay and Jr College Gadchandur . In his comic edge speech he enthralled the audience with his narrative, comic style. He threw light on different aspects of life of students and general public.
While speaking about tree plantation, he held the view that if we plant the trees as much as we place the placard of ‘झाड़े लावा, झाड़े जगवा’ there will be greenery. Unfortunately the placards also are made of woods which we forget.
He urged girl students to pledge not to marry a person demanding dowry. He also asked the parents not to give and take dowry. He strongly opposed the exchanging sarees in wedding ceremony. No woman wears a saree received in such ceremony . It can save thousands of rupees of a bride's father. We need to hold mass marriages and avoid the unnecessary expense . It is not easy to make people understand when they are not ready to understand. Once a man got two passes of football match . He asked his friend to come along with him. His friend hesited to go to watch the football match and since he does not know anything about it. The man insisted and offered him eatables . So they went to the football ground. Since the match hadn't been started , the man tried to make him understand the game. He said, "ते जे दोन चौकोन दिसत आहे त्याला गोल म्हणतात ." With a loud laugh he rebuked not to fool him. The man said "जेव्हा ball आत जातो तेव्हा गोल होतो " Don't fool me I know the ball is already round in shape . On many occasion we encounter such persons . He kept on storytelling . He pointed out the idealistic approach of Lal Bahadur Shastri. As the prime Minister of India his salary was ₹ 60 . Once his friend came asking for help as his wife was admitted in hospital. Shastriji explain his inability to help him. But at that time Shastrji's wife extended helping hand. Shashtriji asked her where she got money from . She stated that she saved ₹10 every month from the salary. Next day Shastriji wrote PMO to make his payment ₹ 50 .
He suggested students and teachers reading of books. Books are the most important part of life. He suggested three books of Achute Godbole, Wadekar and John Washington to be read once in a life. Learning is not just the activity but it is the process. Learning through books and experiences should be aimed at. He asserted that there is no short cut in life. He took 13 years to settle in the film industry. He is not surprised for taking such a long time. He narrated an incident from his life. Once he was in posh hotel. He went to drink water. He saw people held a glass under tap and got water. He did the same but he did not get water. He tried to push and turn the tap in vain. To hide his clumsiness he feigned having drunk water. While moving his leg stamped on the push button, he saw water flowing of the tap. After half an hour he learned how to get water.
