Firstly to know Kaas - Kaas Plateau and Lake is situated at about 23 kms from Satara and about 133 kms from Pune. The Kas Plateau is situated at the Sahyadri hills near Satara. This plateau is well known for its unique biosphere, high hill plateaus and grasslands. Its located at a height between 1200-1240 m and about 25 km away from Satara town, the Kaas Plateau is Maharashtra’s valley of flowers. The plateau and surrounding hills is awe-inspiring when millions of wild flowers bloom as the monsoon sets in (September/October), attracting a lot of tourists. Visit this plateau during the blooming season and experience the magical charm of nature.
At about approximately 23 kms from Satara city, one can visit the very beautiful and scenic Kaas Plateau. The Plateau is splendid and awesome places to visit where one can enjoy oneself in rains amidst the mystical clouds that feather touch you. You can walk along this long Plateau with your friends and loved ones and enjoy the marvels of the nature. The natural green carpet all around this place lifts ones mood to other world.

Remember to pick yourself up & get back on your feet!!

Remember to pick yourself up & get back on your feet!!

Baby giraffes never go to a business school. But they learn a very important management lesson early in life. A lesson that all of us would do well to remember.

The birth of a baby giraffe is quite an earth-shaking event. The baby falls from its mother’s womb, some eight
feet above the ground. It shrivels up and lies still, too weak to move. The mother giraffe lovingly lowers her neck to kiss the baby giraffe. And then something incredible happens. She lifts her long leg and kicks the baby giraffe, sending it flying up in the air and tumbling down on the ground.

As the baby lies curled up, the mother kicks the baby again and again. Until the baby giraffe, still trembling and tired, pushes its limbs and for the first time learns to stand on its feet. Happy to see the baby standing on its own feet, the mother giraffe comes over and gives it yet another kick. The baby giraffe falls one more time, but now quickly recovers and stands up.

Mama Giraffe is delighted. She knows that her baby has learnt an important lesson:
Never mind how hard you fall, always remember to pick yourself up and get back on your feet.
Why does the mother giraffe do this? She knows that lions and leopards love giraffe meat. So unless the baby giraffe quickly learns to stand and run with the pack – it will have no chance of survival.
Most of us though are not quite as lucky as baby giraffes. No one teaches us to stand up every time we fall. When we fail, when we are down, we just give up. No one kicks us out of our comfort zone to remind us that to survive and succeed, we need to learn to get back on our feet.

If you study the lives of successful people though, you will see a recurring pattern. Were they always successful in all they did? No.

Did success come to them quick and easy? No, You will find that the common streak running through their lives is their ability to stand up every time they fall. The ability of the baby giraffe!

The road to success is never an easy one. There are several obstacles, and you are bound to fall sooner or later. You will hit a road block, you will taste failure. But success lies in being able to get up every time you fall.

May this story inspire you to come out wiser, stronger & shining from every fall.
