Riteshbhai Wish : My Wish To Publish Any Of My Novel Or Poem Collection As Book.Until Now Still Its Dream Only.I Will Be Happy If I Found Any Initiator To Help Me For Book Publication.
Reason to Create blog: Before, my creations were published in Aksharnaad site. Once I read blog Guajarati pratibha parichay, and I contacted shri Sureshbhai Jani. Who helped and encouraged me to create my own blog. I wrote many novels and pomes, my wish to share these all to people is my main reason.
Family Background : I’m married and got wise wife, kala. One daughter and son they are my part of life. My father was business man. But I choose my carrier doing job.
My Childhood : I passed wonderful childhood in small village named Bhaduka on the highway of Surendranagar to Rajkot. Many memorable things wrapped in my life… many occasions, I’ll never forget. Like I played many villager games with my friends and my younger brother. Once I got sever sick, my father lifted me on his shoulder and he ran for may be 5 km, that was my life’s most tragic happened…thanks for my father to gave me new life.
Hobbies: Very difficult to list out my hobbies. Still some of least’s are swimming, travel, reading, writing, music and movies.
Personal Life: I would say, my life is happy...Co operative and wise wife. Passing life with wife and son. We shares our happy and sad moments together. But we enjoying a lot!!
Travel: Travel is my most favorite hobby. Many places of India I covered as tourist. Especially trip of Lakshadweep Ice Lands were my memorable trip also Thailand visit.
I read many writers like Meghani, Sundram, Narsinh Mehta, Mirabai, Munshi etc...I always appreciate their effort for literature and dominate their ideas and feelings to us.
Hobby of reading carries us to deep. This potentially gives us wide knowledge. And exploration of literature will helps us to lead in many areas.
Tradition / festival / Food: Some of our old traditions still running like a normal way of life. We almost following that way! In other way we are not intervene or think about that. Some of traditions we need to change or stop. Likewise, we eating older food on eve of SHITALA SATAM.
Festivals are really one gift from our old generation. We are all enjoying well in celebration of almost festivals.
Present generation is now so smart, they nothing to say much. I would say only the thing; try to focus on special goal instead surfing net world stuffs only for entertainment.
Message for friend/relative: Every person obliged from friends and relatives. For me also many friends and relatives are my part of life. Thanks so much for them who directly or indirectly involved encouraging and inspiring me when it was needed.
Thank: A many thanks to my parents, brothers, sisters and all relatives. My all gurus who taught me useful things in my life.

I did B.com from H.A College of Commerce Ahemadabad 1983.
I’m a housewife and there are 4 members in my family : my husband , my son, my daughter-in-law, and me .
I love reading n writing .I like reading shayris and gazals, story books from my teenage days.
I like cooking too. All this lead me to the wonderful world of blogging. I also enjoy listening to music.
Mostly old hindi and gujarati songs. But most important thing is my love towards gujarati language.
I firmly believe that every one should know their mother tongue.
That is ………why I started a gujarati blog called Stop.co.in (About Poetry, Ghazal, Recipe, Articles on different topics, Shayari, Quotes Etc.. in Gujarati Launguage) .
My son, who is the founder of a famous management portal: managementparadise.com, motivated me to write and blog.
He taught me every thing about blogging.
My father in law is a social worker. He serves food to poor people at Porbandar. He is my inspiration.
Once my son had visited Delhi for the TIE conference, I missed him, so I wrote a little in my diary n slept. When my son came home and saw and read what I wrote for him, he asked me to try to write mote. He appreciated my writing. And thus my journey started.
I request all Gujju parents to teach Gujarati language to their children. A child can learn many things from his mother tongue.
Our every custom is cheerful .Our festivals gives colors to our life.
First of all I thank god for his blessings. I am also thankful to my family and every one who supported me.
Once again I thank to my loving sun (son) +Kartik Raichura . Without his help I’m nothing .God bless u my son.

Jay Shri Krishna and proud to be Gujarati From Paavan Jethava
Dear Paavan Jethava,
First of all my congratulations to you. You have a unique vision to serve the Gujarati Language, its literature and the writers. I do not consider myself a person of literature, and am just a story writer.
This is how it started…
When I was in my SSC year (1957) I wrote one Gujarati Story “Paagalni PreyasIo,” (પાગલની પ્રેયસીઅો) which I sent to “Nav Vidhan”(નવવિધાન) weekly magazine. The editor of the magazine liked that story, and this became my first published story. 'વીલ' 'રાહતને રાહે' 'સાભાર પરત' 'સ્ટ્રૉબેરીનો પ્રસાદ' 'દહીંવડાના શુકન' 'ભુરુ કવર' received a very encouraging review.
Within two years I wrote about fifteen stories. I paid a heavy penalty for my overboard interest in writing. I lost my inter-science year. Being the son of a retired primary school teacher, my goal should be to finish my education and start to earn money to support my family. I used to teach students to earn my college expense. I gave up participating in drama, classical music, Kavi Samelans, and story writing. I did not read any literature and I did not write any stories. It was 1959.
After completing my collage I Received a B.Sc. degree in chemistry, the subject which I did not like and hated. Surprisingly I have worked in a laboratory my whole life.
After graduation I worked for about six months in a school as a teacher. I then worked for BRC Corp. until 1968. I went to London and worked in a British railway research laboratory for two and a half years. In 1968 in response to a friend’s request I wrote a drama called “Juli Na Chakkarama” “.જૂલીના ચક્કરમાં”
I migrated to the USA in 1970 and worked in a different laboratory. In addition, I was busy in establishing myself and my family, and sometimes I had worked two jobs. From 1976 to 2008 I worked in R&D of Engelhard Corporation which was taken over by BASF Corporation.
I was away from Gujarati reading and writing for all those years. I did not know the names of well-known Gujarati writers and their books. I then retired. I was busy working all my life. Retirement created a very uncomfortable vacuum in my daily life. What should I do? What can I do?
My wife suggested getting some Gujarati novels from the library and to start reading. We went to the GUJARAT DARPAN library in Iselin, New Jersey and talked to the owner and editor of the monthly magazine. He encouraged me to start writing. I wrote first story 'સ્પેસ' after almost half a century, without knowing the current trend in Gujarati literature and the big names of its creators. Yes, this is the turning point in my life in retirement life. Most of my stories are based on the American life of the Indian community.
My Novel SWETA - "શ્વેતા" – was published in 2011.
It is said that before you start writing you must read, read and read. Unfortunately I cannot read as much as I want to. But I do read my friends’ posts on their Gujarati blogs. However, now I am reading and learning more than ever.
I write to keep my mind busy. I only write for two monthly magazines “Gujarat Darpan” and “Tiranga in New Jersey” both of which are in New Jersey. Some of my stories have been published in “MAMATA” magazine. I write for my blog.
http://pravinshastri.wordpress.com/. At the time of this writing I have posted 67 stories. I am new in the blog world. There are so many things about blog and computer-related technology which I don’t know or understand. I have to learn many things. My friends that blog and my grand children are helping me.
As for my personal life, I was born in 1939 and grew up in Surat. Now I am retired, as previously stated, and have been married to my wife Yogini for 50 years. I have 2 children, a son and a daughter, and five grandchildren who keep me young.
