User:Bhaskar Bhalachandra Khare

Bhaskar Bhalachandra Khare aka Arun Khare was born in the city of Wai, Satara district to parents Laksmibai and Bhalachandra Khare on 12th August 1938. He served in the Indian navy for 10 years before marrying Mangal Sane aka Mrinalini Khare and then worked at Kirloskar Cummins. Being a foodie and people's person, he decided to start Swad Bhel, a chat shop. Pune people still remember 'Kakanchi bhel'! After retiring, the couple shifted to their native place in Wai and continued doing social work as well as looking after the Krishna temple which was assigned to the family by the King. Both of them helped the Katkari tribe on the banks of River Krishna seek quality education as well as earn a sound livelihood by starting a small school for them.
