Qualification- Diploma in Commercial art - 1968
Siblings – a brother and a sister he is the eldest, brother is a Carpenter and sister is the principal of deaf and dumb school in Dadar.
In the year 1944 October 9th a baby was born to Mr Shamrao and Mrs Usha who is named Suresh Shamkant Gokhale, he was brought up as a normal kid but, when his mother took him to a private school for the admission they found out that he had some disability so he was rejected admission in the school.
He got admitted to the corporation school. He used the Chalk to express his affection for drawing.
Finally his parents were able to locate a remote deaf and dumb school in Pune. There were very few students and Suresh joined them. He was not quite good at academics as his interest was in drawing. He wanted to bring out his creative and unique talent and nourish it.
His parents took his feeling and spoke to a teacher MALTI JOSHI of S.P College. The teacher looking at the interest of Suresh, took a challenge and admitted him as the first student and that is the beginning of his real schooling. The school was just out of the S.P College and Suresh started living his real colors of life. He got friends of same attitude in his school and his talent started to flourish. The principal of S.P College saw Suresh and his friends interest in the field of Drawing, and he built a hall within the college and gave it to them. This lead Suresh to make lot of collages, drawing and clay Ganesha’s at school that made him stand apart as an artist among all other students.
He still remembers how his teacher encouraged him to know the skills such as Carpeting, sculpting, and even stitching, but his interest was in drawing. So he told his teacher,” I will not do things which I don’t like to do”.
Suresh’s father who passed away in 1999 had worked for Kirloskar Oil Engines and Pumps. He was very much occupied with his son’s interest in painting, one fine day, Suresh got his fathers attention His father took him to a new painting school Upon requesting they admitted Suresh because he proved to be excellent artist. That is where he got an opportunity to appear for his first drawing exam ‘Elementary’ and he cleared the exam, Immediately he decided to appear for ‘Intermediate’ which is the next grade drawing exam. At the same time Suresh met with an accident, ant his right hand got fractured. The exam date was appearing nearer, so he started practicing with his left hand. To everybodies surprise, he appeared for the Exam by drawing in his left hand and cleared the exam. His life’s journey had started.
In the future, he participated in International Landscape Competition. He stood 4th in the same and received a certificate From London.
Life had a different turn and a lesson for Suresh. After his schooling as he appeared an art exam to the big surprise he failed twice in the exams, in painting.
Further to that see how God helps, one of his close family friend asked him to contact Abhinav Kala Mahavidhyalaya the only art school in Pune.
Upon enquiry he was advised by the teacher not to take up the painting but the commercial side because, that was going to help him in future.
Parents supported him financially and encouraged him to move on when he failed in the last year of his Applied Commercial Art.
The first job in his life was at TOM e BAY (Advertising) Pvt. Ltd. For the first 4 years he worked for a salary of Rs 300/-. He worked there for 10 years from1968 to 1977.
In 1972 he got married to Jyoti who is also deaf and dumb and had finished her Diploma in Cloths and Stitching. They had their first normal child named Tanuja who is now a BMHS in Ayurvedic.
Later Suresh joined WESTERN ADVERTISING MARKTING SERVICES. His art works were visualized here. This boosted a self-confidence in him.
He was awarded by Maharashtra as a best deaf and dumb performer for the service. He always worked with clear understanding of his capabilites and the interest of his company. He also believed in the principles of contribution and appropriate remuneration. He had to leave WESTERN ADVERTISING MARKTING SERVICES just because of this difference in the principles.
Suresh later joined PADMAJA ADVERTSERS Pvt. Ltd. At the same time of his life he had his second normal child named Prasad who is now a architect and designer.
He foresaw the future of computer graphics. So he left PADMAJA ADVERTSERS Pvt. Ltd. and joined IOLINE data system as an illustrator. He did a lot of visual work for IOLINE data system. Even if the titles didn’t release his work was appritiated. Being deaf and dumb helped him to concentrate and contribute a lot to the creative work he was doing. The IOLINE was soon merged with KIRLOSKAR COMPUTERS SERVICES LTD. (KCSL). During his association with KCSL he has drawn many cartoons, Calikacher, 2D Animation etc. His knowledge continued to grow, and he believed in giving the best.
Finally in 1999, he was the first person to get retired from KCSL. After 5 years of his retirement from KCSL he returned to Pune and started preparing clay status of Lord Ganesha. These beautiful idols were admired by all.
Suresh is a self made man. He never got any formal training for learning Photography, Screen Printing and Computer Graphics. He learnt all these skills on his own by experimenting. He believed God is the source of inspiration.
Suresh took a different path from the rest of the world.
Today at the age of 60 years Suresh runs his own Studio cum Office at Pune.
He does several things that would cater the Industry today.
In 2001 he was awarded with the National Award by the Government of India. At New Delhi, the President of India Shri Shankar Dayal Sharma presented him the award for his great services and excellent work in all field of Art.
He starts his day by practice of Yoga, which keeps him active throughput the day. He goes to his office by bicycle. He spends his time in sketching, he reads a lot and sometimes does landscapes also.
In the year 1997 he was instrumental in the formation of Maharastra Association of Deaf, which is an association for sports activities. In 1980, the same club was renamed as Mahashtra Sports Council of the Deaf. In activities like drama, dance, mime this group has won a remarkable appreciation from all over India. It has recently won the first prize at Bangalore.
HE decided to live his life on his own terms with his self-confidence. He is also occupied in helping others as well as painting and spending time with his creative being with in. He loves watching cartoon network, hours after hours.
The eager to go ahead can over come all the hurdles ahead of us in our life. This is the lesson we can learn from a man like Suresh.

Rock Walls
Some build rock walls all their lives,
When they die miles of walls divide them.
Others build rock walls, one rock on another,
And: then build a terrace, where they pray for love.
Yet others build walls to enclose orchards,
Endeavouring to find ways to fulfill hunger.
A few others build rock walls - to make a home,
It is their mission to serve humanity and nature.
I build no walls, to confirm to joy or sorrow;
To sacrifice or achieve, or to gain or lose,
I just grow flowers on all open spaces,
And float lilies on ponds and rivers.
I keep planting trees, for birds to have nests,
At the dawn of the sun, when morning breeze blow.
Sun light get filtered through shining tree leaves,
Birds' flight gives me sense of freedom and pleasure.
Scattered light of colour and treasure,
Fragrance of flowers gives me delight of creator.
Lilies floating over like nature's dance,
Why should I build walls to confine them all?
I have no house, only open spaces,
Filled with truth, kindness and dreams.
Desire to see my country developed and great,
Dreams to see everywhere happiness and peace.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

Earth shining in Glory
Our Milky Way is shining,
with millions and millions of stars.
Our beloved star Sun,
along with eight other planets around.
Orbits the Milky Way,
finishes one orbit in two hundred and fifty million years.
Somewhere in the galaxy,
echoed a voice in surprise.
"See there the Earth shining in glory
how come it got its light?"
A sweet and soft reply comes:
"It is not the mere light,
It is the light of knowledge,
It is the light of service,
It is the light of peace.
Specially radiating from Prasanthi Nilayalam
When Earth completes its eightieth orbit
Carrying a great soul in its bosom"

The 90/10 Principle --- Author: Stephen Covey
Discover the 90/10 Principle
It will change your life
(or at least, the way you react to situations)
What is this Principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you. …90% of life is decided by how you react…
What does this mean?
We really have NO control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down.
The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.
A driver may cut us off in the traffic.
We have NO control over this 10%.
The other 90% is different.
You determine the other 90%.
How?... By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light.
However, you can control your reaction.
Do not let people fool you.
YOU can control how you react.
Let us use an example…
You are having breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee Onto your business shirt.You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears.
After scolding her, you turn to your wife and you criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table.
A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish her breakfast and getting ready to go to school.
She misses the bus.
Your spouse must leave immediately for work.You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.
Because you are late, you drive 40 miles per hour in a 30 mph speed limit zone.
After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60.00 traffic fine away, you arrive at school.
Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minute late,
You realize you forgot your briefcase.
Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your wife and daughter
Why?
Because of how you reacted in the morning.
Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is “D”
You had no control over what happened with the coffee.
How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.
Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffe splashes over you.
Your daughter is about to cry.
You gently say:
“It’s okay, honey, you just need to be
More careful next time.”
Grabbing a towel you go upstairs and change your shirt.
You grab your briefcase, and you come back down in time to look through
the window and see your child getting on the bus.
She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early a cheerfully greet the staff.
Notice the difference?
Two different scenarios.
Both started the same.
Both ended different.
Why?
Because of how you reacted.
You really have no control over 10%
of what happens in your life.
The other 90% was determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 Principle.
If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comments affect you.
React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, or getting stressed out.
React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, or getting stressed out.
Remember the 90/10 Principle and don’t worry about it.
The plane is late. It is going to mangle your schedule for the day.
Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant?
She has no control over what is going on.
Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger, why stress out?
It will just make things worse.
Now you know the 90/10 Principle.
Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90/10 Principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this Principle.
The result? You will see it by yourself!
Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and headaches. We all must understand and apply the
90/10 Principle. It can change your life! …Enjoy it... It only takes willpower to give ourselves permission to make the experience.
Absolutely everything we do, give, say, or even think, it’s like a Boomerang.
It will come back to us... If we want to receive, we need to learn to give first... Maybe we will end with our hands empty, but our heart will be filled with love... And those who love life, have that feeling marked in their hearts …
It will change your life
(or at least, the way you react to situations)

PRESENTATION SKILLS: MASTER THE ART!
Presentation skills are highly important in today’s corporate scenario, no matter which field you are in. Experts say that along with good communication skills, presentation skills too make a huge difference.
Anand Dewan, senior vice president – business impact group, Kotak Life Insurance opines, “Presentation skills are imperative for any working professional who carries an aspiration to grow in the corporate world. With every step
one takes towards the corporate ladder, the opportunities for making presentations also increase. The one-to-many communication need increases gradually and one-to-one interactions decrease; needless to say, this is integral even as you step from one ladder to next. Perceptions play a very important role in the corporate world and each opportunity of presentation also builds perceptions about an individual. For instance, right from how you open the presentation to how you take questions or tackle objections and finally how you close, leave a lasting impression.”
According to Dr Shuchi Agrawal, associate dean, IILM Institute for Higher Education, “Good presentation skills define our ability to present information to others effectively. It is a major factor in becoming successful in today’s business world. It doesn’t matter how good a person is at his or her job! If that person does not have the
presentation skills to explain an idea, a project, a recommendation, a service or a product to others, then nothing will ever happen to that idea, project, recommendation, service or product. Your audience – subordinate or superior need to see confirmation of your decisive planning skills and leadership abilities.”
