लेले मास्तर - Teacher who could see the future of his student Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe (BRT) i.e. आपण सगळ्यांचे राजकवी भास्करराव रामचंद्र तांबे
He would guide Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe and at the same time not spare him whenever he erred. Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe was brilliant and naughty at school. Once as a monitor of the class Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe instead of maintaining class room discipline teased a fellow student .Lele sir came to know about this incident and did not like it one bit. He went to the classroom and punished Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe. He told Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe, let any body do whatever he feels, but I won't tolerate any misbehaviour from you. You are going to be the best, hence I will ignore misdemeanors from any one else but not from you.
Lele sir said "You will remember that an old man foretold your future; therefore, be dignified and respectful. I mean dignified to yourself and respectful to others."
This statement made a great impact on Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe. Lele sir had sensed that Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe was a bright student but would be stuck for funds quite often. Lele sir also observed that our wordsmith did extremely well in the carpentry workshop. Hence Lele sir got map rules made from Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe and saw to it that he was paid for it. Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe is said to have worked as an instructor at the carpentry shop. Much later Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe's friends would see the good furniture made by our Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe.

'तरुणांस संदेश'
Friends for me my ajoba wrote what he lived. It is not just a message to youth once someone becomes old enough.
'हातास ये जे , स्वनेत्रा पुढे जे'
Well before learning and becoming an instructor at carpentry, Rajkavi Bhaskarrao Ramchandra Tambe mastered पूजा विधी and worked as a purohit who perform pooja..
Later he gave tuitions and worked in various departments viz. police, legal, education etc..
Point is he never got bogged down by any adversity and always worked hard to excel in whatever he did. Most importantly he never built castles in air.
तया वर्तमाना करा साजरे...live and celebrate the present is at top of his message to youth. First he did it and then he shared the message to youngsters.
Friends I hope this information will amplify your enjoyment of this masterpiece by the one and only राजकवी भास्करराव रामचंद्र तांबे.
No wonder, this wordsmith was also a master carpenter.
