Are calendars allowed to mark their own birthdate? Sure, if you consider the case of ‘Kalnirnay’. On October 7, when the Mumbai-bred calendar-cum-almanac that has alerted generations of housewives, farmers, pandits and butchers to planetary alignments and ‘shubh muhurats’–entered its 50th year, third-generation inheritor Shakti Salgaonkar celebrated the “humbling” occasion in a tweet timed right after the auspicious launch of

Today the company is succeeded by Jayraj Salgaonkar and his daughter Shakti Salgaonkar-Yezdani who continues to keep it relevant with intent and innovation that is at the crux of this company. Fifty years ago on December 1, 1972, little did Jayant Salgaonkar and his then 17-year-old son and apprentice, Jayraj realise the mammoth household name their product would become.

His peeve was that the almanac carried an advertisement of ‘Tees Chaap beedi’ and the fact that he hung it near the tiny temple in his home was upsetting. “That legal case made us realise how people perceived us,” said 65-year-old Jayraj Salgaokar, the co-founder, publisher and managing director of Kalnirnay.
