Life was never so easy as before coming into the acting profession, Nana did odd jobs like painting Zebra crossings, painting movie posters, etc., to earn a living. He gives credit to the Bollywood actress Smita Patil for his entry in Bollywood as she knew him from Pune and took him to Ravi Chopra for a role.

He started his acting career performing on Marathi stage at the age of 5. But in his initial days in Bollywood, he had to face discrimination for not being a 'handsome hunk'. He said “I know I am not beautiful and handsome but I wanted to make my performances beautiful. Always let your work talk for yourself”. His first film was ‘Gaman’ (1978) after which he did several small roles in Marathi cinema. He acted in various award-winning plays including Hamidabaichi Kothi and Purush. Nana also worked as a commercial artist and visualiser at Strusa Advertising.

In 2013, Nana was awarded the Padma Shri award for his dedication in the field of Films and Arts.

He also won his second Filmfare Best Villain Award for his role in Apaharan (2005). In 2017 he won the Filmfare Marathi award for best actor for his performance in Natsamrat. To perfect his role for Prahaar, he had undergone strict army training for 3 years, and in the early 90's, he was given the Honorary rank of Captain.

Never the less, Nana did playback singing in the films “Yeshwant” (1997), “Wajood” (1998) and “Aanch” (2003). In 2016 and made his debut as a producer with the film “Natsamrat.” Around 40 years after making his acting debut, in 2017, he did his first commercial for ‘Vikram Tea.’

Nana believes in simple living or lifestyle and is a philanthropist.Nana has also lent his service to the Indian Army, including a stint during the Kargil War. In 2015, Nana Patekar, along with actor Makarand Anaspure, started a non-governmental organization- Naam Foundation. The foundation works for the welfare of farmers in the drought-prone areas Vidarbha and Marathwada in Maharashtra. In 2015, he also distributed cheques of ₹15,000 to the families of farmers from Vidarbha region and from Latur and Osmanabad districts of Marathwada

He also carry passion for cooking. He can cook for more than 150 people at a time. He also has a signature dish to his name- ‘Nana Prawns.’ He gives credit to his mother for his cooking skills.

Nana Patekar always comes out as a versatile performer in whichever role he ever put his hand. His hard work and learnings from struggle made him a renowned actor. With due respect we pray that god bless him a healthy and a life full of positivity ahead. Wishing him a happiest birthday from his fans side.

Photography Competition: Pixel Hunt

Enthusiasment for framing the shots with curiosity and intellect of students

 Preparation and having a right gear to capture any moment is not only difficult but also different that's why it is not everyone's cup of tea to represent emotions, stories any feelings through a photographs. Taking all these things in our mind the journalism department of JECRC University organized a photography event Pixel Hunt on 2nd March 2020.

Cheif Guest of the even was Dr. Ajay Kumar Singh In this event, he was the man of integrity, innovation and principal. 20 students were participating and had beautiful and sensational picture with different stories and meaning. Students had taken pictures from local areas some pictures were also from construction area and some were of monuments and for festival, students have also some pictures on daily basis like how water flows and they represent it important to save water. 

Every pic has its own story or feeling so we had different ideas through these all picture. Before we get into how to improve your event photography, preparation logistics will save you stack of time management and it helps to identify critical flaws and errors. 

At last 5 students were the finalist of this event Namit Bunkar at 5th position, Jalaj Kalra at 4th position.Priya Yadav stood 3rd and Daisy Sharma stood on 2nd position for this event. Manu Sharma was the winner of the event whose picture was of a bird and the caption of his picture was "Not only the thirsty seek the water, The water as well seeks the thirsty". 

Photography is always important because it allows people to see the world from different points of opinion and views and the photographer don't need to share any words to explain his/her photograph because the photograph in itself has strong emotion and motion that the viewer can caught the feeling immediately. For some people may photography can be a hobby but the real photographer is only a person who sees it like their passion.

Nothing big is really big

Prof. D.P. Mishra, President of JECRC University attended a lecture at the J&MC Dept.

On Wednesday Prof. D.P. Mishra, Vice Chancellor of JECRC University attended a lecture at the JMC department of the University, during the lecture he talked about many things but his main focus was to teach students about LOVE and AFFECTION. He said common sense is a very basic thing. He said behind every happening there is reason. He defined the cause of creation is love and affection, he gave certain examples to prove it. He said a lion can be cruel to anyone but when it comes to his own Cub then he won’t eat him, and the reason behind it is Love and Affection. 

If a lion will hunt the cuff of a buffalo then the buffalo will come to rescue her cuff, and again the Love and Affection is the reason. He said Emotion is the basic force to sustain creation. He also talked about Gandhi Ji, the power of Gandhi Ji was love and affection. He quoted a line “aaPrabudhta prem se aati hai prakram se nhi,” but at the same time he also said stay away from the Sugar coated bullshit, be careful. 

 He differentiated Shiksha and Vidya individually, according to him, 

what we learn is Shiksha and when we implement that knowledge then it’s Vidya. He also advised two must read books for the students and these are:

1. Sanskriti ke chaar adhyay.  By Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.

2. Glimpse of the World.  By Jawahar Lal Nehru

He quoted a line, “The time you’re becoming indisciplined you’re 

harming yourself.” He gave the example of Earth, that Earth is very disciplined, if for a fraction of time Earth would stop rotating then the whole geological system will be imbalanced. According to him, the scientific cause of creation is because of the interaction of  the 3 elements and these are

 (i) Matter, (ii) Energy and (iii) Consiousness.
