Governor Ram Naik completes one month in office on Thursday. This journey by his own admission is Vanaprastha which he is enjoying in the palatial Raj Bhawan, which is almost 200 year old.
“I am not accustomed to living in such environment. In Mumbai I live in 1 BHK accommodation and here even the bathroom is bigger than my
drawing room in Mumbai,” Naik told this reporter on Thursday.
In a candid admission he said in Mumbai he is used to pasteurized milk and here we get pure milk. The vegetable grown here in fresh and organic while we get vegetables from villages in Mumbai that are not that fresh. Even the weather here is dry while it is moist in Mumbai.
“My wife has a breathing problem and takes medicines regularly in Mumbai but she is doing well without medicines here. So, I can say I
am getting use to this lifestyle,” he says.
“Only problem I am facing is adhering to protocol. Recently I went to Maharashtra and there I saw a butler from Raj Bhawan serving food. I asked why are you here. He said he has been asked to come because it is protocol,” Naik said smiling ear to ear.
He continued further: “The other day I realized that no one has invited me in Kargil Diwas function. I requested army people “bhai” invite me I also want to be part of this function. I want to go to many places but it is mandatory to have invite.”

“No no. Here cooks are very good. Only one from Maharshtra is my wife,” he replied with a hearty laugh.
