Engineering & Photography
It was coincidence that my parents gifted me a digital camera , getting an unexpected gift become a challenge , and beyond the challenge a question raised , what shall I use this camera for ? I started clicking snaps of no use . Since I was finding difficulties, than after whatever I click, I begun to loving it, some of my friends and family members praised my snaps, They said “ Yaar Kshitij tu to Expert ho gaya” and these sentences blown into me and photography was transformed as a healthy hobby. I come in contact with some of my senior faculties (they don’t like that their names to be mention) . They motivated me , they shoulder me , one of them helped me in providing a platform and thus I brought up a blog kshitij-jatale.blogspot.com as “ Engineering & Photography “. I put full efforts to enhance my photography skills with my graduate technical degree B.E. in Fire & Safety Engineering, from renowned “ IPS Academy Indore” M.P. India.
This summer I am participating in National Geographic “Vales Eye on Sustainability “ Global Photo Contest - photography competition , submitted snaps for my blog at scratchmysoul.com and planned for public galleries etc.

Role of Action Research in achieving better students learning in Mechanical Engineering Courses
R. J. Lalwani,
University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Abstract
With the explosion of knowledge and the aim of developing a knowledge society it has become crucial to develop more effective, interesting and action oriented teaching learning process. University of Malaya as a pioneering research university in Malaysia has encouraged its dedicated faculty members to develop innovative teaching
learning methodologies to make it student centric. Under the umbrella of Action Research group this research started in 2009 and the salient features along with the methodology, process, outcome and analysis are discussed in this paper. Many engineering subjects are highly mathematical, analytical and descriptive. To keep the students attached to the basic concepts, theory, analysis, design and application, new teaching – learning systems are to be developed. One of this is Start, Stop, and Continue technique. In this all the students were divided in small groups of 4 students per group. Each group was given three coloured cards to use them during the delivery of the lecture in the class. A green card to indicate start, a red card to stop and a yellow card to continue were made available to each student of the each group. This was highly appreciated by the students specially those who were shy of asking questions in the class. The data collected in 12 weeks duration of 6 cycles of 3 different activities subdivided further in 2 sub activities made all the students very active and collaborative learners. The three main activities were:
1. Classroom activities: a. Lectures b. Multimedia c. Conversations
2. Online activities: a. moodle b. e-forum c. e-resources
3. Group initiatives: a. group discussion b. active learning c. collaborative learning
From the present study it is concluded that given an ambient environment the learning process can be made very effective and all the course objectives can be achieved. Action research has helped empowerment of the student in acquiring knowledge. With this approach the students’ performance improved from mediocre to very good. Their ability to perform as a good engineer after graduation is obvious now.

Foreign Affairs Careers
Foreign Affairs Careers
Michael Wolfe
Michael Wolfe has been writing and editing since 2005, with a background including both business and creative writing. He has worked as a reporter for a community newspaper in New York City and a federal policy newsletter in Washington, D.C. Wolfe holds a B.A. in art history and is a resident of Brooklyn, N.Y.
By Michael Wolfe, eHow Contributor
Foreign affairs, also known as international relations, is a field of study in which students learn about issues that affect international states and peoples. The subject is intensely interdisciplinary, covering a wide swath of topics, including conflict, trade, security, the environment and human rights. As a reflection of this, those who hold degrees in international relations have access to a number of different careers.
Education
Many holders of degrees in international relations will return to academia as a career, taking positions as professors or researchers. Many international relations professors have real-world experience, having previously worked for a government agency or a nonprofit organization. However, unless their professional credentials are truly exceptional, they will need a doctorate degree in order to receive a position as a full professor.
Foreign Service
Perhaps the most popular career path for international relations graduates is diplomacy. Many degree holders will work for their country's foreign service, holding one of two main types of jobs: political jobs, in which they help shape and implement policy; and support staff, in which they man a nation's embassies and provide support to citizens traveling or working abroad. Those who hold a bachelor's degree. can apply for entry-level positions, but higher-level diplomatic positions are generally restricted to Ph.D. holders.
International Business
Many of the skills developed in international relations can be applied towards a career in international business, especially for those companies seeking to enter foreign markets, a situation in which a knowledge of local laws and culture is essential. There are no strict degree requirements to enter international business, although some companies like employees to hold MBAs, particularly in management positions.
Intelligence
Many international relations graduates, particularly those with a concentration in security studies, enter a career in the intelligence community. In the United States, this can include working for the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense, most of whom require only a bachelor's degree for lower-level positions.
Journalism
A good knowledge of international relations can also be applied to a successful career in journalism, particularly one that involves covering diplomacy or being stationed in a foreign country. All foreign correspondents must develop a good working knowledge of how the country in which they are working functions. Journalists are generally not required to hold advanced degrees.
International Organizations
There are a number of large international organizations, such as the World Bank and the United Nations, that hire scores of international relations students each year. Tasks for these graduates vary, but many will involve research and program development. Degree requirements depend on the position for which the applicant is applying.
Foreign Trade
There are a number of positions, both in the public and private sector, that demand a comprehensive knowledge of international trade. For example, many employees of the the U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Administration hold international relations degrees, as do those who trade on international markets as a business venture.
NGOs
International nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, are organizations, usually nonprofit, are committed to achieving a political or humanitarian goal. Many involve issues covered in international relations, such as the environment, human rights and conflict resolution. Degree requirements vary by position.
Law
Many lawyers, particularly those who practice international law, also hold degrees in international relations. Those who wish to practice law must hold a law degree and have passed the bar. Even for those international relations students who do not seek a law degree, there are a number of legal positions available to them.

Foreign trade expert - Foreign connect

With globalisation connecting markets all across the world, international trade is reaching new heights and making foreign trade a lucrative career option.
Foreign trade expert - Foreign connect
Today, we live in a globalised environment. And to survive in today’s highly competitive environment, it’s a must for companies to have expertise in foreign trade. Interested candidates can, therefore, explore career options in different domains such as international marketing, international supply chain and logistics, warehousing and inventory management, export documentation, currency trade, etc.
The challenge of meeting the requirements of global clients is very exciting. Manab Majumdar, assistant secretary general and head, Foreign Trade and WTO Division, FICCI, New Delhi says, “In this era of globalisation, the significance of foreign trade cannot be exaggerated. It is widely believed that trade is a critical engine of growth. Working in foreign trade gives me an opportunity to stay very close to policymaking, which makes this job really interesting.”
Sanjay Budhia, chairman, CII National Committee on Exports and managing director, Patton Group says, “India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The projected growth rate is eight-to-nine per cent, whereas Western economies are facing turbulent times. China is also facing internal problems due to overheating of the economy and creation of asset bubbles. This makes India the most favoured and exciting destination for global companies. These companies are looking for experts in foreign trade who can leverage their global experience. Also, Indian companies which have expanded their operations globally through acquisitions and mergers need foreign trade experts to run their business. On top of it, India’s exports have grown by more than 30 per cent in the last quarter. Hence, there are immense opportunities in foreign trade for prospective candidates.”
Many businesses are looking to enter international markets, so careers in international business are expected to grow at a faster rate. “From banks, to manufacturing firms to government agencies, almost all industries need people with a background in international business. Job opportunities are available in various industries such as shipping lines, freight forwarders, international courier companies, export houses, banks and agencies dealing with currency trading etc,” says Budhia. “Since most of the international trade is done through port and aviation, these professionals can work in airlines, cargo and global shipping companies. Foreign direct investment and economic development agencies also require these professionals. Moreover, they can also join the travel, tourism and hospitality sectors,” he adds.
Apart from the curriculum, one has to be familiar with various aspects of foreign trade such as trade logistics, trade finance, movement of foreign exchange, shift in composition and direction of worldwide trade, productwise changes, etc. “One has to have in-depth knowledge of the country’s foreign trade policy framework, and competitive advantages of leading traders,” says Majumdar. The difficulties one can face while in this line could be “mainly the non-availability of trade statistics in time,” he adds.

Foreign trade as a career option
Foreign trade as a sound career option
talks about the job scenario in foreign trade, how interested students can enter this profession, and what are the challenges they might be faced with.
What does the job of a foreign trade expert entail?
The job responsibility of a foreign trade expert involves providing guidance and assistance to businesses involved in export and import of goods and services. They are typically involved in development and analysis of international trade issues and policies, which help firms engage in international marketing or perform international market research leading to identification of opportunities in foreign markets and designing strategies to enter different markets.
How has the job scenario changed in India for foreign trade experts?
The Employment Outlook Survey for the third quarter of 2010 conducted by Manpower India says that hiring activities in India are expected to reach the prerecession levels in the coming months. The same can be said for this field. With the world becoming a global marketplace, and all types of businesses seeking to expand their operations across national borders and into the world, the demand for foreign trade experts has increased. Accordingly, the country is witnessing an increase in the number of students opting for international trade courses being offered by various universities and management institutes.
What challenges do foreign trade professionals face today?
The global market is extremely dynamic in nature and hence a foreign trade expert must always possess the latest information concerning foreign market trends since clients and businesses depend on this knowledge when making decisions concerning business opportunities or investments in another country. Experts must always be familiar and updated with the trade laws of the countries they are planning to explore.
Can one get a job abroad?
Yes, individuals specialising in international trade can get a job abroad in the capacity of an expert on WTO issues, trade policy specialist, marketing communication specialist, commodities operations analyst, market data specialist and product application specialist.
What kind of work experience or certification helps one land a good job?
International trade programmes are of both graduate and postgraduate level and are offered by institutes across India. They groom candidates for careers in international trade. To gain expertise in this field one should have demonstrated the application of knowledge of international economic and political factors influencing the flow of goods and services between countries; the impact of government policies and regulations, business conditions, and market structures on international competitiveness; or of problems and techniques relating to the sales and marketing of goods and services in world markets.
Which industries require foreign trade experts?
The requirement for foreign trade experts exists at the advisory levels in public sector undertakings with foreign trade operations, export promotion councils, international departments of multinational companies, and international trade regulatory bodies.

my father is a Doctor and my mother is a housewife . Despite of being a doctor , my father promoted me to the extreme to be the best in magic ! My little sister became my assistant for the shows . My mother was the biggest moral booster one can imagine.I became interested in magic at the age of 4 when a cousin of mine showed me a trick with cups and balls and then taught me how to do it and i performed the cups and balls for the same cousin almost a year later on my 5th birthday . He was baffled with the level of perfection i had attained with almost a year of practice .
Later on , the next year , as i watched the big David Copperfield shows on TV , i got addicted to it ! I started buying magic items from fun fairs and put up magic shows in my living room for my friends from the building where we reside .
By the time i reached High School i had read almost every book on magic and had performed a for the first time a 1 hour show in Public - On Stage , at the age of 13 at a local Ganesh Festival .
3 years later i got a phone call from a TV channel (TV TODAY NETWORK) to make a half an our special on Magic for their channel . After that a chain of TV appearances happened for years and i started doing live shows for CORPORATES regularly
I asked for a message to youngsters he said “ if one wants to make a good career out of magic , then dont aim at MONEY initially . First try to be CREATIVE . Do something that no magician has never done before . Incorporate various other arts in ur presentation and the most important goal should be to make the whole presentation Extremely Entertaining ! “

Abida Parveen is known for the dazzling quality of her voice
Born in 1954, Abida Parveen grew up in Larkana, Sind, in southern Pakistan in a home where the Muslim Sufi culture was very important.
Abida Parveen´s father, Ghulam Haider, ran a music school. Though women in Muslim society are rarely encouraged to pursue musical (or other performance) careers, her father recognized his daughter´s extraordinary talent at an early age and encouraged her to sing and brought her along to the annual religious festivals.
Here Abida met the trance-seeking music and song tradition practised by Sufis in Muslim brotherhoods around the world to get in touch with and praise the divine.
Her career crystallized after her marriage to the late Ghulam Hussain Sheikh, a senior producer in Radio Pakistan who became her mentor. She studied classical vocal music with Salamat Ali Khan, who, like Abida Parveen, has appeared previously at the Freer and Sackler Galleries.
While she does not regularly perform purely classical music, her prodigious command of the ornamental idiom and developmental genius of this genre is apparent throughout her music.
She has performed in a wide range of venues both sacred and secular, from the shrines of saints in her native Sindh to the world´s greatest concert halls.
Parveen has recorded over 100 albums - few of which are available in Europe - and releases a new album every 6-8 months.

The uncrowned Sufi Queen
Pakistani singer Abida Parveen´s truly amazing voice has earned her the status as heir to the crown of the late Qawwali legend Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Though not as immediate as the surging ecstasies of the big Qawwali ensembles, her intimate, charged music offers much to those prepared to give themselves over to it.
"Parveen could sing a shopping list and have an audience weeping", wrote BBC´s Peter Marsh when Abida Parveen´s album ´Visal´ was released in 2002.Abida Parveen is known for the dazzling quality of her voice and her vivid musical imagination allied to her utterly feminine sensibility, all used to tell the Beloved the states His love makes us endure.
A real cult is now devoted to Abida, proof indeed of the way this immense artist gives herself over entirely to her public in her music; so long as they demand it, she is ready to go on giving the best of her gifts to serve the kalam (the Word) of the Sufi saints. Sometimes she will linger on a low note, sometimes she´ll rise to dizzy heights with oval ornaments of dazzling virtuosity; she seems to be in a state of ecstatic communion with her audience, inspired by an energy coming directly from Him whose praises she sings.
Very few Westerners understand the texts. Parveen sings about love of the only one, and the wish to be united with this divine creature. But she interprets the Sufi poetry with a clear diction and a gentle, often melancholy presence which makes the message go right in.
Abida Parveen gets her material from the old texts of the Sufi poets and herself composes the music, which is as richly ornamented as the warm voice embracing the stanzas. The ancient, soulful strains of Sufi music can some day unite the sparring neighbours India and Pakistan, says Abida Parveen in an interview in Indo-Asian News Service, April 2003:
"With the two countries sharing so much common cultural and traditional legacy, peace will prevail one day. Sufi music will have a role in unifying them".
The Sufi movement created a rich composite culture blending Islamic and indigenous cultures during Mughal rule in the Indian subcontinent. The movement was reflected in art, music, religion and philosophy. The Sufi movement coupled with the Bhakti movement opposed religious orthodoxy and caste and creed divisions and gave India such saints as Kabir, Namdev and Baba Sheikh Farid.
"The basic tenet of Sufism is the same: love for god and your fellow brethren," says Parveen: "In different areas, different saints propagated this one message using the idiom of that area and its traditional music so the masses could understand. Once you understand the message, you will realise that basically we are all the same."
"Music transcends the barriers of language, culture and creed. Even if an Englishman who doesn´t understand the words listens to Sufi music, it will transport him to ecstasy," she says.
Indeed Parveen´s music has a power to communicate across racial and denominational divides.

From forestry to productive forestry
EDITORIAL:
From forestry to productive forestry (by Sunita Narain)
==============================
My position on the need to re-position forests in development (see ‘Rethink growth with forest capital’, Down To Earth, May 16-31) has brought me a huge response.
From forestry to productive forestry (by Sunita Narain)
==============================
My position on the need to re-position forests in development (see ‘Rethink growth with forest capital’, Down To Earth, May 16-31) has brought me a huge response.
On the one hand are those who argue that functions of forests already include conservation vital to life; they need to be valued and protected. The unsaid (and often stressed) corollary is that any discussion on the need to improve productivity of forests through the involvement of people needs to be shunned. The stretched and simplistic positioning of this view is that forests and people cannot go together. One writer has even argued passionately that the government should think of taking over—buying out—large areas of forests from people and then protecting them for future generations. On the other hand, are those who argue for further engagement of people with forests.
The discussion on this matter is deeply polarised. The two sides are at war, and in this war both forests and wildlife are the losers. But all is not lost. My point that standing forests need to be valued and that people need to engage in the business of productive forestry, has also brought some hesitant voices of support. We need innovative experiments in policy. Let me stress again: the stalemate in the forest policy is not tenable.
Each passing day, the constituency for the protection of forests is shrinking. This is when the forestlands in India are under a big threat—not necessarily from the people living in forests but from developers who want the land, minerals, water and other resources. Over time, the infrastructure imperative will take away forests, which have become the only “free” and “available” resource in the time of scarcity. The demand to open up forests will grow.
Forestland is being lost bit by bit and all the talk about compensatory afforestation is just that—talk, not trees on the ground. This way we will be left with pockmarked wildlife reserves that animals and people will compete for. It is to avoid this future that we need forests to be central to development as we reinvent it. It is in this context that we must discuss the potential of forests, both the intangible benefits of ecological security and tangible economic returns. This discussion is taboo in the forest-conservation circles, where the country has moved from extraction to protection, without clarity about how the land will be utilised for production.
But let us also be clear that India (or for that matter any country) cannot afford to set aside 22 per cent of its land, and not use it for development. This is a message that environmentalists fighting against forest destruction are rightly reluctant to give. But it is time we changed this.
Take a look at the economic survey of the country to see how forests have disappeared from national accounts. There are estimates of what forests generate for the economy but no valuation of the standing forests and their role in water and soil protection, and certainly no valuation of the minor forest produce, which provides livelihood to the poor. There is no assessment of the role of forests as providers of grazing land, which in turn provides for animal care and dairying. Instead, you will see that the contribution of this sector—defined as agriculture, forestry and fishing—has sharply declined each year. Its annual growth rate in 2005-06 was 5.2 per cent. By 2009-10 its growth rate turned negative. Its place has been taken by the mining and quarrying sector, which registered a growth rate of 8.7 per cent in 2009-10 against 1.3 per cent in 2005-06. In fact, forests have been blacked out in the economic assessment of the country.
The forest survey report, which tells us that the forest cover in the country is stable and increasing, has another valuable hidden fact: the stock of forests has decreased between 2005 and 2009. Clearly, something is amiss, if we consider the enormous potential of growing wood and non-timber products and their impact on livelihoods and economies of states. We import more and more of forest produce, from pulp to timber. It is for this reason that revenues from forests are declining in state budgets, which creates pressure for their diversion to more productive uses.
The way ahead involves three steps. One, we need to urgently value the economic potential of forests and to incorporate this into national accounts. But this valuation must go beyond carbon storage and other obvious benefits. It must take into account the million ways in which forests provide livelihood support to people. Two, as I have discussed earlier, we need steps to pay for standing forests. This money must go to communities bearing the burden of conservation. The economic value of keeping forests as forests for watersheds and biodiversity has to be paid to the custodians. It will build local economies and local support for forest protection.
Three, most importantly, we have to increase the productivity of the remaining forestland. But we know that the business of cutting and planting trees that survive cannot be successful without people who live in the forest. The question is whether we are willing to see the writing on the wall. As yet, I have no certainty about the answer.

Gautam Kale - One More Eklavya
एक और एकलव्य गौतम काले
लेखक - हनफी सर आई पी एस वाले भाईजान
(विशेष : गौतम को विदुषी कल्पना ज़ोकरकर जी से मिलने का अवसर मिला और गौतम का गाना सुनके उन्होंने गौतम को विशेष मार्गदर्शन दिया )
एकलव्य की कहानी सभी जानते हैं, उसकी योग्यता से सभी परिचित हैं - उसकी गुरु सेवा भी अनजानी नहीं हैं , और गुरु द्वारा बिना शिक्षा दिए उससे गुरु दक्षिणा में अंगूठा मांगना सरविदित हैं - "एकलव्य " हर युग में जनम लेते हैं , परन्तु योग्य होने के बावजूद गुरु की अपेक्षा , नाराजी का शिकार होकर गूम हो जाते हैं -कलयुग के एक "एकलव्य " की कहानी भी इसी प्रकार की हैं - यह कहानी हैं इंदौर के गौतम काले की, जिसने अपनी आँखे संगीत के वातावरण में खोली, यहाँ तक की उसने गर्भावस्था में ही अपनी माता के जरिये अच्छे अच्छे गायकों को सुना - ढाई साल की उम्र में उसने अपना पहला गीत एक स्टेज पर गाया जो, उसकी संगीत के प्रति रुझान का पहला संकेत था - संगीत के प्रति लगन व सीखने की उत्कंठा तभी से जाग्रत हो गई थी - वर्ष १९८८ से श्रीमती कुंडा जोशी से शास्त्रीय संगीत की विधिवत शिक्षा लेना आरंभ की और कुछ ही समय में स्वरों की समझ उसने आत्मसात की - स्कूल में, स्थानीय प्रतियोगिताएं में भाग लेना आरंभ किया और कई पारितोषिक अर्जित किये - रफ्ता रफ्ता उम्र बढती गई स्वरों में ठराव आने लगा तब उसे मार्ग दर्शक के रूप में स्वर्गीय पंडित वी जी रिंगे तंरंग ग्वालियर घराने के सुप्रसिद्ध गायक का सानिध्य मिला - परन्तु मन ही मन वह महसूस करता रहा की जो मुझे गाना हैं , वह यह नहीं हैं - उसे इसका कोई ज्ञान भी नहीं था की वह कौन सा संगीत हैं, जिसे वह आत्मसात करे - इसी उधेड़ बुन में समय बिताता गया और जो शिक्षा उसे मिल रही थी उसे ग्रहण करता रहा –
इंदौर में "शानिमंदिर " एक प्राचीन स्थान हैं - जहा प्रतिवर्ष शनिवार जयंती सप्ताह अत्यंत उत्साह के साथ मनाया जाता हैं - जिसमे देश के जाने माने गायक वादक अपनी हाजरी देते हैं - एक वर्ष आदरणीय पंडित जसराज जी का गायन कार्यक्रम निश्चित हुआ , मंदिर के सामने अर्थात शनि गली में स्टेज बनाया गया और रात्रि पंडित जी का गायन कार्यक्रम आरंभ हुआ - गौतम काले अपने माता श्रीमती कीर्ति काले पिता श्री डॉ किशोर काले के साथ उस कार्यक्रम में गए - पंडित जी २ - ३ घंटे तक गाये सभी श्रोता मंत्र मुग्ध हो झूम उठे - इधर गौतम इतने आत्म विभोर हो रहे थे की उनको सुध न रही वा पैर फिसल वह ओतले से गिर परे, बिना अपना दर्द बताये पुन: पंडित जी के गायन का रस विभोर हो गये - घर जाकर गौतम ने अपने पिता से कहा की मुझे पंडित जी जैसा गाना सीखना हैं - जैसे उन्हें वह संगीत मिल गया , जिसकी वह खोज में थे - १२ - १३ साल की उम्र और गौतम ने जिद पाकर ली की मैं पंडित जी से गाना सीखूंगा - कुछ वर्षो में वह समय भी आया की पंडित जसराज जी कार्यक्रम (पारिवारिक) में इंदौर आये तथा श्री सुमेर सिंह जी के यहाँ रुके थे - पंडित जी का गुजरात के सानंद राज परिवार घराने से सम्बन्ध था, तथा वहा की राजकुमारी श्री सुमेर सिंह जी की पत्नी हैं अतः वे इंदौर में उन्ही के घर अधिकतर रुकते हैं - प्यार से वे राजकुमारी को "बुलबुल बाबा " कहते हैं - गौतम को जैसे ही ज्ञात हुआ उसने पंडितजी से मिलने की जिद की ! चूँकि एक अच्छी जिद थी अत:गौतम के पिता ने प्रयास कर पंडितजी से मिलने का समय लिया और करीब ११ बजे श्री सुमेर सिंह जी साहब के बंगले पहुच गये - जबकि मिलने का समय १२ बजे का था - गौतम की उत्सुकता बढती ही जा रही थी - जैसे ही १२ बजे गौतम श्री सिंह के घर की और भाग कर जाने लगा - ११ से १२ बजे तक का समय पिता पुत्र ने बंगले के बाहर एक पुलिया पर बैठकर बिताया - दरवाजे पर पहुंचकर घंटी बजाई , नौकर आया , गौतम बोला पंडित जी ने मिलने का समय दिया हैं , तब नौकर ने कहा वह विश्राम कर रहे हैं तब तक आप बहार रुकिए - दिल मसोस केर पिता पुत्र पुन: उसी पुलिया पर जाकर बैठ गए- काफी इंतजार के बाद उन्हें उनसे मिलने की अनुमति मिली - गौतम की व्याकुलता बढती जा रही थी - करीब १० मिनट बाद पंडितजी बहार बैठक मैं आए उनकी सतेज कान्ति, गले से रुद्राक्ष माला ,ढीला कुरता धोती पहने एक महापुरुष की भांति दिखाई दिए –
गौतम ने तुरंत उठकर उनके चरण छु लिए उन्होंने कहा "जय हो " - तत्पश्चात संगीत की चर्चा चली, गौतम ने कहा की मैं आपसे गाना सीखना चाहता हूँ , तब पंडितजी बोले कुछ सुनाओ , पर तुम्हे तबला व तानपुरे के बिना ही सुनना होगा - गौतम ने एक राग में बंदिश मय आलाप, तानो के सुनाई - उस वक्त पंडितजी ने आंखे बंद कर आत्मीयता से उसे सुना तथा समाप्त होने पर आंखे खोली - और बोले अभी तुम छोटे हो और सीखो फिर देखेंगे - पंडितजी को प्रणाम कर गौतम अपने पिता के साथ वापस घर आ गया - परन्तु एक कसक का आभास उसके चेहरे पर स्पष्ट झलक रहा था - जब उससे पूछा तो उसने बताया की कोई बात नहीं पंडितजी भले ही अभी न सिखाये मुझे तो उनके जैसा ही गाना हैं - दुसरे दिन वह पंडित जसराज जी की एक छोटी सी तस्वीर लाया और कहा की पापाजी मुझे इसकी एक बड़ी कापी करा दो -उसे मै अपने कक्ष में रखूँगा और उसके सामने बैठ कर रियाज करूँगा - उसे पंडित जी का काफी बार चित्र लाकर दिया गया - चित्र को दीवार पर टिकाया उसके आगे राधा कृष्ण की मूर्ति राखी पास में माँ सरस्वती की प्रतिमा विराजित की और तानपुरा लेकर रियाज आरंभ कर दी -
पंडितजी का गायकी को करीब से समझने के लिए उसने उनके गाये हुए रगों का रिकॉर्ड कैसेट्स का संकलन आरंभ किया जहा भी वे उपलब्ध होती वह खरीद लाता था या कोई उसका दर्द उसकी उत्सुकता देख उसे यु ही भेंट कर देता था - पंडितजी की गायकी सिखने का एक जूनून गौतम के सर पर स्वर हो गया था - प्रतिदिन अपने अध्यन के अलावा वह कैसेट्स सुनता और वैसा गाने का प्रयास करता - बुनियादी स्वरों की शिक्षा होने से उसे गायकी समझने में कम परेशानी हुई - कोई मार्ग दर्शक नहीं मात्र पंडितजी की आवाज तथा उनके भव्य चित्र से ही उसे प्रेरणा मिली - सतत रियाज करते करते ५ - ६ साल गुजरे वह युवा हो गया था, स्वरों में ठराव आने लगा - वर्ष २००३ में वरः नमहाराष्ट्रमंडल नई दिल्ली द्वारा सागर मध्य प्रदेश में एक शास्त्रीय संगीत गायन प्रतियोगिता आयोजित की जिसमे भाग लेने के लिए पहले स्वय की रेकॉर्डेड कैसेट्स भेजना होती है , गौतम ने अपनी कैसेट्स भेजी और उस अधर पर प्रतियोगिता में भाग लेने की स्वीकृति मंडल द्वारा मिल गई
वह सागर प्रतियोगीता हेतु पंहुचा - जहाँ प्रतियोगियों को ठेराया गया था - वहां मंदिर था - गौतम ने अपना अभ्यास वही बैठ कर किया परन्तु उसकी आवाज बैठ गई - वह गाने योग्य नहीं रही - वह अत्यंत निराश होकर मंदिर में इश्वर से प्रार्थना करने लगा - परन्तु कोई लाभ नहीं कुछ दवाइयां भी ली - दुसरे दिन प्रतियोगिता थी - वह निराश था - उसने घर पर अपनी माता को फ़ोन कर वस्तुस्थिति बताई और कहा वह भाग नहीं ले सकेगा तथा वापस घर आ रहा हैं - उसकी माँ ने कहा वापस नहीं आना हैं जैसी भी आवाज़ हो गाकर ही आना हैं - दुसरे दिन प्रतियोगिता आरंभ हुई एक के बाद एक प्रतियोगी मंच पर आकर अपनी प्रस्तुति दे रहे थे - तभी गौतम के नाम की पुकार मंच से हुई - अपने इष्टदेव श्री गजानन महाराज तथा आराध्य गुरु का स्मरण कर गौतम अपने तानपुरे सहित मंच पर पंहुचा, पूर्ण आत्म विश्वास के साथ अपना गायन आरंभ किया - इसे चमत्कार , इश्वर की कृपा मन जा सकता हैं , गौतम की आवाज़ ठीक हो गया था और पूर्ण निष्ठां के साथ श्रोताओं तथा निर्णयको के समक्ष राग शुद्धसारंग में सुंदर प्रस्तुति दी - इस पर भी उसे संतोष नहीं था - अपनी प्रस्तुति पश्चात् उसने आयोजको से विदा लेने का विचार कर उने पास गया तभी उन्होंने गौतम की सुंदर प्रस्तुति पर बधाई देते हुए आग्रह किया की वह परिणाम सुनकर जाये - अन्य प्रतियोगियों की प्रस्तुति के बाद घोषणा हुई , गौतम आश्चर्यचकित हो गया जब यह घोषित किया गया की गौतम को प्रथम पुरुस्कार प्राप्त हुआ हैं - दुसरे स्थान पुर कु. क्षितिज तारे रहा जो पंडित रतन मोहन शर्मा ( पंडित जसराज जी के भांजे ) से तालीम ले रहे थे - दोनों ने मेवाती घराने की गायिकी प्रस्तुत की थी - क्षितिज तारे ने गौतम से पूछा तुम किससे गायन सीखते हो - पंडित जी के घराने की गायकी को तो तुमने आत्मसात कर लिया हैं , मै तो पंडित राम रतन मोहन जी का शिष्य हूँ - तब गौतम ने कहा की मैं परम पूजनीय पंडित जसराज जी का " एकलव्य शिष्य " हूँ - उनकी तस्वीर के सामने बैठकर सीखता हूँ -और मेरी इच्छा हैं की में उनसे विधिवत संगीत शिक्षा ग्रहण करू - प्रतियोगिता में उपस्थित एक श्रोता ने गौतम से कहा की मैं वर्षो से संगीत सभाओं में जाता हूँ , मैंने गायकों को सुना हैं पर आज तुम्हारे गायन ने पंडित जसराज जी की याद दिला दी तुम्हे बधाई व आशीष हे - उपस्थित निर्णायकों में से श्रीमती शोभा चौधरी ने कहा की गौतम तुमने आज तक की सर्वोतम प्रस्तुति दी हैं - पुरुस्कार ग्रहण कर गौतम वापस इंदौर पंहुचा और पुन: अपनी संगीत साधना में लग गया –
गौतम के घर पर उसका एक अलग संगीत कक्ष हैं गयानोप्योगी समस्त साजो सामान के अतिरिक्त पंडित जसराज जी की बहुत बरी तस्वीर राधा कृष्ण की तथा माता सरस्वती की मूर्ति स्थापित हैं - वह सभी दरवाजे बंद कर पंडित जी की कैसेट , सी डी सुनता और उनकी तस्वीर के सामने गाने का प्रयास करता - यह प्रक्रिया ५ - ६ सालों तक सतत जरी रही - परन्तु उसके ह्रदय में एक टीस सदा रहती की काश वह पंडितजी के साये में सीख पाता –
इस प्रकार संगीत साधना में समय बिताता रहा - एक समय की बात हैं इंदौर के शासकीय संगीत महाविद्यालय में पंडित रतन मोहन शर्मा के गायन का कार्यक्रम आयोजित किया गया - गौतम कार्यक्रम के पूर्व उनसे मिले - उन्हें गौतम को पहचानने में कतई समय न लगा - क्योंकि उनके शिष्य क्षितिज ने सागर की प्रतियोगिता के बारे में उन्हें बता रखा था - पंडित रतन मोहन जी के गौतम ने चरण स्पर्श किये और उन्होंने आशीष दे अपने साथ तानपुरे पर साथ देने हेतु कहा जिसे अहो भाग्य मानकर गौतम तुरंत तैयार हो गए - कार्यक्रम के पश्चात् गौतम और उनके माता पिता पंडित शर्मा से मिले व उनसे कहा की क्या आप गौतोम को सिखायेगे तब पंडित रतन मोहन जी ने कहा आज से ही मैंने गौतम को शिष्य स्वीकार किया इसे आप मुंबई भिजवा दे - गौतम अपने अध्यन के साथ साथ माह में जो समय मिलता पंडित शराजी के यहाँ मुंबई जाता और तालीम लेता - पारिवारिक अमास्या. कॉलेज की पढाई , भविष्य के चिंता के चलते गौतम का मुंबई जाना बूंद हुआ - परन्तु गौतम ने अपनी एकलव्य तपस्या को यथावत जरी रखा - समय बीतता गया, गौतम ने एम ए सोसिअल वर्क उत्तीर्ण किया - जीवन यापन के लिए कुछ तो करना होगा अतः नौकरी करने का विचार इस लिए छोड़ा की उसे गायन को प्राथमिकता देना हैं, इसलिए उसने अपना स्वय का वयवसाय स्प्लेश कार्ड एक्सप्रेस नाम से प्लास्टिक परिचय पत्र बनाने का कार्य आरंभ किया और शेष समय संगीत साधना हेतु समर्पित करना आरंभ रखा -
गौतम के मामा श्री शोक कुलकर्णी पेशे से इंजिनियर और एक्सेकुतिव इंजिनियर के पद से सेवा निवृत संगीत के शौक़ीन अकोला में निवास करते हैं - अकोला में स्वर्गंध संस्था के कार्यकारिणी मंडल में विशिष्ठ पद पर रह संगीत कार्यक्रम आयोजित करने हेतु कृत संकल्प हैं - उनकी काफी अरसे से इच्छा थी की पंडित जसराज जी का गायन अकोला मैं आयोजित हो - उनके प्रयास करने के पश्चात वह समय आया जब पंडितजी की स्वीकृति प्राप्त हुई - बारे पैमाने पर तैयारियां आरंभ हुई - पंडितजी के कार्यक्रम की सुचना उन्होंने गौतम को दी एवं कहा की पंडित जी तुम्हारे श्रद्धा स्थान हैं अतः तुम उनके कार्य क्रम में अवश्य आमंत्रित हो - गौतम अत्यंत प्रस्सन थे , मन में अपने परम पूजनीय गुरूजी को करीब से देखने वा सुनने की आशा उसे फिर आतुर कर रही थी - सहने सहने दिन बीते तथा वह दिन आया जिस दिन पंडित जी का गायन कार्यक्रम होना था - गुअतम एक दिन पूर्व ही अकोला पहुच गया था –
पंडित जी आए तथा अकोला की की एक प्रसिद्ध होटल में रुके - गुतम तथा उसके मामाजी ने कई प्रयास किये की पंडित जी से मुलाकात हो जावे परन्तु संभव न हो सका -
अकोला में पंडित जी के कार्यक्रम हेतु भव्य मंच तैयार किया गया था पीछे ग्रीन रूम था जहा पंडित जी और उनके संगरकर वध्य यन्त्र मिला रहे थे - गौतम उसके दरवाजे पर जाकर पंडित जसराज जी के दर्शन लेने खरा हो गया - अचानक पंडित जी की निगाह उस पर पारी और उन्होंने पूछा यह कौन खड़ा हैं तभी पंडित रतन मोहन जी ने कहा यह गौतम काले इंदौर से हैं तथा श्री पेठेकर जी पंडित जी के साथ हारमोनियम पर सांगत करते हैं ने बताया की इस बालक को मैंने पुन में सुना हैं यह भी मेवाती घराने को गता हैं - पंडित जी ने यका यक कहा की इसे एक तानपुरा दो और साथ में बैठा लो - गौतम सिहर उठा और सोचा अब क्या करू तभी श्री पेठकर बोले अब कुछ मत सोचो और तानपुरा लेकर मंच पर पहुचो , तुम नहीं दिखे तो पंडित जी नाराज हो जायेंगे - गौतम सभी संगतकारो के साथ मंच पर पहुच गया - पंडितजी का ज्ञान आरंभ हुआ - कार्यक्रम की अंतिम प्रस्तुति थी ॐ नह्मोह भगवते वासुदेव गाते गाते पंडित जी ने गौतम को भी साथ गाने के लिए कहा - उसके बाते समय पंडित जी उसकी तरफ देख रहे थे - उनके चेहरे के हव भाव बता रहे थे की उन्हें गौतम का गाना अच्छा लग रहा था - कार्यक्रम समाप्त होने पर पंडित जी ने कहा की कल होटल में मुझसे मिलो - गौतम सुबह उठकर तैयार हुआ और अपने मामा के साथ ११ बजे होटल पहुंचा , कुछ देर इंतिजार करने के पश्चात् पंडितजी ने गौतम को बुलवाया, कुछ चर्चा पश्चात् पंडित जी ने गाने के लिए कहा और पूछा क्या तानपूरा चाहिए गौतम ने हाँ कहा तब वे पंडित रतन जी से बोले रतन बाबु इन्हें तानपूरा दो , तानपूरे के साथ गौतम ने राग बीहाग में दो बंदिशे जो पंडित जी की गई हुई हैं, लट उलझी सुलझा जा बालम तथा देखो मोरी रंग में भिगोई डारी सुनाई , उन्होते ( पंडितजी ने ) ताने सुनाने को कहा , गौतम ने पंडित जी के रिकॉर्ड में जो ताने थी वही सुनाई जैसे वे गौतम को रति हो - गायन समाप्ति पश्चात् पंडित जी ने कहा की बहुत अच्छी आवाज़ हैं , आवाज़ के साथ साथ इश्वर ने उम्हे अच्छी रूह दी हैं , जो समय के साथ उम्हे समझ में आयेगी - पंडित जसराज जी ने पूछा की किससे सीखते हो तब गौतम ने वह चित्र बताया, जो पंडित जी का था ( घर पर जिस चित्र के सामने वह रियाज करता था , उस चित्र का फोटोग्राफ वह अपने साथ ले गए थे ) और कहा मै इनसे सीखता हूँ , तब पंडितजी अत्यंत भावुक होकर बोले ' गौतम बाबू मै इतना बार नहीं हूँ, मुझे इतने बड़े स्थान एर मन बैठाओ ' परन्तु यह एक सत्यता थी - गौतम ने पंडित जी से निवेदन किया की इस चित्र पर अपने आशीष लिख दी तब पंडित जी ने अपने शुभ वाक्य " जै हो " के साथ उस चित्र पर आशीर्वचन लिखे - वे गौतम के गायन से प्रभावित हुए थे - उन्होंने कहा मुझे फ़ोन कर मुंबई आ जाओ मैं तुम्हे सिखाऊंगा - चरणस्पर्श कर अपने परम गुरु पंडित जसराज जी से विदा ली . मन में प्रसन्नता , मन चाह गुरु मिलने से मिली संतुष्ठी के भाव स्मक्स्ह रूप से दिखाई दी रहे थे - उसने अकोला से इंदौर वापस आने पर उप्रयुक्त सभी बाते अपने परिजनों तथा स्नेहीजनो को बताई - सभी को बरी प्रसंता हु, कुछ ने कहा की महाभारत की कथा के 'एकलव्य' को भले ही गुरु नहीं मिला पर तुम कलयुग के भाग्यशाली एकलव्य हो जिसे गुरु ने स्वीकार कर लिया - अब गौतम आए दिन फ़ोन करते , कभी पंडित जी कार्यक्रम में गए हैं, कभी अमेरिका गए हैं अदि अदि - एक दिन गौतम जी की पंडित जसराज जी से बात हुई, उन्हें उसके अकोला में ह मुलाकात का स्मरण कराया तब पंडित जी ने कहा मुंबई आ जाओ - अगले दिन गौतम अपने माता पिता के आशीर्वाद लेकर मुंबई के लिए रावण हुआ -
मुंबई में गौतम अपने मामाजी के पुत्र श्री अमित कुलकर्णी और बुआ श्रीमती नंदा नाइक के यहाँ रुके - मुंबई पहुंचकर पंडित जसराज जी को फ़ोन लायगा तथा उनकी अनुमति प्राप्त कर उनके निवास पहुंचे - वहा पंडित जसराज जी के चरण स्पर्श किये कुछ चर्चा हुई, गौतम को नाश्ता कराया गया, गुरु माँ तथा सुश्री दुर्गा (पुत्री) से परिचय कराया बड़ा सुखद अनुभव रहा - गुरु से संगीत सिखाने पूर्व की औपचारिकताये बारे गई - सर्व प्रथम इश्वर को नमन करे फिर गुरु, गुरु माँ (आई) के चरण स्पर्श करे अपने इष्ट देव तथा माता पिता का स्मरण कर बतावे की मैं अपनी शिक्षा आरंभ कर रहा हूँ - इसके पश्चात् गुरूजी ने सबसे पहला राग भैरव सिखाना आरम्भ किया, कितनी तन्मयता से उन्होंने राग की बारीकियां बताते हुए एक बंदिश मेरे अल्लाह मेहरबान सिखाई - जब कोई गलती हो तो वे एकदम गुस्सा हो जाते, परन्तु जब उनकी मर्जी के स्वर शिष्य प्रस्तुत करता तो वे अत्यंत प्रसन्न हो कहते जै हो "वाह गौतम बाबू " इस प्रकार एक दो दिन तालीम चलती रही - बोजन समय गुरूजी गौतम को अपने परिवार के साथ भोजन भी कराते - गुरूजी अपने शिष्यों से कितना प्यार करते हैं इसका एहसास गौतम को हुआ - जब भी गुरूजी ( सभी शिष्य पंडित जसराज जी को गुरूजी ही कहते हैं ) मुंबई में रहते गौतम फ़ोन से स्वीकृति प्राप्त कर मुंबई पहुँचता रहा - उसे गायन के साथ साथ रेकॉर्डिंग स्टूडियो में जाने का रथ रेकॉर्डिंग समय उनके साथ तानपूरे पर बैठने का सौभाग्य भी मिला - तालीम के अलावा उनसे ज्ञानवर्धक बाते, उनके प्रसंचित स्वव्हाव का भी अनुभव गौतम ने महसूस किया -
एक बार जब गौतम गुरूजी के घर मुंबई पहुचे उस समय गुरूजी का स्वस्थ ठीक नहीं था, वे अपने शयन कक्ष में विश्राम कर रहे थे - उन्होंने गौतम को वही बुलाया व कहा की स्वश ठीक न होने के सम्बन्ध में बताया और कहा आज अपन फिल्म देखेंगे तब बिच्छु फिल्म लगाई गौतम भि फिल्म देखने लगे - गुरूजी बहुत प्रेम से बोले गतम बाबू फिल्म देखने के साथ गुरु की सेवा भि करना चाहिए , गौतम ने तुरंत गुरूजी के पैर दबाना आरंभ किया और पूरी फिल्म देखी - गौतम इसे अपना सौभाग्य मानता हैं की उसे गुरु चरण स्पर्श एवं चरण वंदन का अवसर मिला -
गौतम का विवाह २३-११-०७ को होना निश्चित हुआ तब उसने गुरूजी को पत्रिका भिजवाई तथा शादी में उपस्थित होने का अनुरोध फ़ोन द्वारा किया तथा यह भि बताया की प्रत्यक्ष में आपको निमंत्रण देने गौतम का भाई राहुल मुंबई आयेगा तब गुरूजी ने कहा इसकी आवशयकता नहीं हैं - यदि गुरूजी की वयस्तता नहीं रही तो वह जरूर आएंगे - जो उनकी सादगी तथा मनाता का परिचायक हैं - यधपि वे विवाह समारोह में नहीं आ पाए परन्तु उनके आशीर्वाद अवश्य प्राप्त हुए –
शादी के अगले माह अर्थात दिसम्बर २००८ को गौतम को सत्य साईं समिति इंदौर की और से सुचना मिली की उसे बाबा के समक्ष परशानी निलयम में भजन प्रस्तुत करना हैं, इसलिए उसे वहा जा रहे अन्य युवाओं के साथ जाना हैं - पूर्व में भि समिति के कुछ आयोजनों में गौतम ने अपना गायन प्रस्तुत किया था - प्रशांति निलियम जहा भगवन सत्य साईं बाबा का निवास हैं , उस जगह को स्वर्ग ही कहा जा सकता हैं गौतम को वहा २ - ३ दिन हो गाये परन्तु बाबा के दर्शन तो होते परन्तु उनकी द्रष्टि गौतम पर नहीं पड़ती - गौतम के साथ अनिल मांडके जो उनके पिता के मित्र हैं उन्होंने बताया की बाबा का ध्यान करो मन ही मन उनसे निवेदन करो वे अवश ध्यान देंगे - प्रातः गौतम ने उसके कमरे में लगे बाबा के चित्र के सम्मुख खरे हो बाबा से निवेदन किया वह उन्हें अपना गायन सुनना चाहता हैं और यदि उसे अवसर मिला तो वह उसके बाद का कार्यक्रम अपनी मूंछे साफ कराकर प्रस्तुत करेगा - इसे चमत्कार ही कहा जा सकता हैं की उसी दिन उसे सुचना प्राप्त हुई की उसे बाबा के समक्ष भजन गाना हैं - जिस दिन गौतम को भजन गाना था , उस दिन वैकुण्ठ एकादशी का शुभ दिन था करीब १५ से १७००० भक्त हॉल में उपस्थित थे - सर्वप्रथम मध्यप्रदेश की युवा टोली ने एक अध्यात्मिक नाटक प्रस्तुत किया उसके पश्चात् गौतम का भजन गायन आरंभ हुआ - एक दो तीन लगातार भजन गाये - उस समय बाबा की शुभ द्रष्टि गौतम पर केन्द्रित थी, गौतम की द्रष्ट्री जब बाबा से एक हुई तो उसके पूरे शारीर में कम्पन का आभास हुआ - वह अधिक समय बाबा की और नहीं देख सके - गौतम ने अपनी आंखे मुंड कर ही अपनी प्रस्तुति पूर्ण तन्मयता एवं समर्पित भाव से प्रस्तुत की - इसी दोरान बाबा ने गौतम की और उनके पास आने का इशारा किया, परन्तु आंखे बंद होने के कारन वह बाबा के इस इशारे को नहीं देख सका, उसी समय उसी के पास बैठे शिर अनिल मांडले (बाबा के भक्त ) जो झांझ पर गौतम का साथ दी रहे थे उन्होंने कहा की गौतम बाबा तुम्हे बुला रहे हैं जल्दी जाओ - गौतम तुरन उठे और बाबा के पास गाये - गौतम ने बाबा के श्री चरणों पर अपना मस्तक रख दिया इस अनुभव को गौतम ने बताया की उसे जीवन का एक अध्भुत अनुभव उसे मिला - जब उसका मस्तक बाबा के चरणों पर था उसके पूरे शारीर में कम्पन हो रहा था , जैसे कोई विधुत शारीर में प्रवाहित हो रही हो - करीब १० सेकंड तक उसका मस्तक बाबा के चरणों पर था, आँखों से अविरल अश्रु प्रवाहित हो रहे थे - बाबा ने उसे उठाया उसके अश्रु पूरित नेत्र उसके मन में उठने वाले इस प्रेम के तूफ़ान को स्पष्ट प्रगट कर रहे थे - गौतम उठा और बाबा के समक्ष अपने हाथ जोड़ कर हतप्रद सा वही बैठ गया - तुब बाबा बोले "अच्छा गता " " आवाज़ अच्छा हैं " " गौतम जसराज" तब गौतम बोला की पंडित जसराज जी मेरे गुरु हैं, मेरा नाम गौतम काले हैं तुब बाबा पुनः बोले नहीं " यू अरे गौरम जसराज " फिर बोले " तुमने ॐ सुनाया मैं तुमको ॐ देता " उसी समय उन्होंने अपना हाथ हवा में घुमाया और कुछ ही क्षणों में उनके हाथ में एक सोने की चमचमाती अंगूठी थी, गौतम ने उसे प्राप्त करने के लिए एक याचक की बहती दोनों हाथ आगे किये तब फिर बाबा बोले नहीं तुम्हारी रिंग फ़िनगेर दो तब बाबा ने वह अंगूठी गौतम को पहनाई -
गौतम के जीवन का यह अविस्मरनीय क्षण था - बाबा के आशीर्वाद प्राप्त कर वह वापस अपने नियत स्थान पहुंचा –
प्रशांति निलियम में उपस्थित बाबा के भक्तो ने गौतम की इस उपलब्धि को असाधारण मन कर उससे मिलने और उस दिव्या अंगूठी के दर्शन कर स्वय को भाग्यशाली समझा - एक बार हुझुम उसके पीछे हो लिया - उस परिस्थिति में वहा तैनात रक्षक दल ने गौतम को अपने साथ लेकर उसके विवास तक पहुचाया तभी गौतम को सुचना दी गई की अमुक दिनक को बाबा द्वारा स्थापित संगीत विद्यालय में शास्त्रीय संगीत की प्रस्तुति वहा के विद्यार्थियों के समक्ष देना हैं - जैसा की गौतम ने बाबा से (मन ही मन ) कहा था की उनके समक्ष प्रस्तुति पश्चात् अगली प्रस्तुति अपनी मुचे साफ कराकर दूंगा - अतेव संगीत विद्यालय में प्रस्तुति देने के पूर्व उसने अपनी मुछे साफ करा कर वहा प्रस्तुति दी और अपना बात पूरी की - बाबा के यहाँ सात दिन रहने का सौभाग्य मिला और वहा कई चमत्कार एवं सुखद घटनाए घटित हुई जिसका पूर्ण विवरण लिखना संभव नहीं हैं - इंदौर में पुनः अपना कार्य और अपनी संगीत साधना में व्यस्त हो गया –
वर्ष २००८ - २००९ में गौतम ने भोपाल, राजस्थान में कई स्थानों पर तथा पंजाब में फगवारा में अपनी प्रस्तुतिय देकर श्रोताओ को मंत्रमुग्ध किया - वहा सव्ही ने उसकी गायकी पर पंडित जसराज जी की छबि होने की मुक्त कंठ से सराहना की - आगरा में उसके गायन पश्चात् गौतम को " नाद साधक " के पदवी से विभूषित किया गया -
वर्ष २००८ में गौतम से श्री नीरज गोयल का इश्वर सवरूप संपर्क हुआ, वे उसे पचपन से जानते हैं व वे गौतम से पहले से ही प्रभावित थे - उन्होंने उसे एक उच्च स्तरीय संगीत स्कूल आरम्भ करने का अवसर दिया - दिसम्बर २००८ में सा रे ग म म्यूजिक स्कूल ५/५ नवरतन बाग , विशेष हॉस्पिटल के पीछे की स्थापना की - संगीत प्रेमी इच्छुक छात्रों ने उसमे आकर संगीत की शिक्षा लेना आरंभ किया - सतत मेहनत से विद्यार्थिओं को वहा शिक्षा दी जा रही हैं - आज के परिपेक्ष में जो आज के संगीत की मांग हैं उसके तकनिकी पहलु भी शिक्षण के साथ समाहित किये गाये हैं - श्रीमती कल्पना झोकरकर श्री गौतम काले को सतत संगीत का प्रशिक्षण देती रहती हैं और शिर गौतम को उनका आशीर्वाद सदा प्राप्त होता रहता हैं - यह कहानी हैं एक और एकलव्य की -
