  • या तळ्याच्या खोल गर्भी

    या तळ्याच्या खोल गर्भी

    बऱ्याच वेळी आपल्या मनात खोलवर भावनांचे कल्लोळ सुरू असतात पण रोजच्या आयुष्यात सामोरे जावे लागणाऱ्या परिस्थितीमुळे आपण त्यांना खोलवरच दाबून ठेवत असतो. पण आत कुठे तरी हा सगळा ताण, राग, उद्वेग सारं काही खदखदत असते. पण चेहऱ्यावर आपण ओढलेला असतो तो शांत दिसणारा मुखवटा. अगदी या निश्चल तळ्यासारखा. याच भावनेतून सुचलेली ही कविता.


    या तळ्याच्या खोल गर्भी,
    गूढ काही दडवलेले.
    उसळूनी येइल झणी ते,
    शांत जरी ते भासताहे .

    थंडशा पाण्या मधेही,
    दाह तो ना शांत झाला.
    अजूनही फुलतोच आहे,
    धुमसणारा हा निखारा.

    भोवतीच्या या तळ्याची,
    वाफ होईल त्या क्षणाला.
    ज्या क्षणी लागेल बत्ती,
    अन् फुटे अंगार सारा…


    तळ्याच्या काठावरून

    नाशिकच्या सातपूर औद्योगिक वसाहतीच्या मागच्या बाजूला असलेला हा पाझर तलाव. अतिशय शांत आणि हिरवागार असणारा हा परिसर नाशिकमधील एक छान जागा आहे. तळ्याच्या बाजूने जाणारा रस्ता तुम्हाला सातपूर MIDC मध्ये घेऊन जाईल. कधी गेलात नाशिकला तर एखादी चक्कर नक्की टाका. नाशिककरांच्या भाषेत सांगायचे तर एक पट्टा मारून या!

  • ऋतुगान – a poem celebrating Marathi seasons

    ऋतुगान – a poem celebrating Marathi seasons

    वसंत ऋतुराज,
    नवा हा वर्षारंभ,
    सृष्टी ही आनंदाने,
    बहरली…

    त्यामागे येतो ग्रीष्म
    त्याचे हो दोन मास
    पहिली सर त्यात
    बरसली…

    आली हो वर्षा राणी,
    गाऊया हर्ष गाणी
    सृष्टीने हिरवाई
    नेसलेली…

    चांदणे घेऊनी हा,
    शरद आला बघा,
    सोबत आली आई,
    आदिशक्ती…

    चाहूल हेमांताची,
    लागते साऱ्यांनाच,
    येई हो जेव्हा थंडी,
    थोडी थोडी…

    शिशिर कडाक्याने,
    अंग हे गारठले,
    अगोठी जागोजागी,
    पेटलेली…

    वर्षाचे बारा मास,
    त्यात हे सहा ऋतू,
    समान संख्या पहा,
    वाटलेली…

    In Maharashtra, we believe that year starts with the month of Hindu calendar Chaitra and goes on for twelve months ending at Falgun (aka, fagun in Hindi). Traditionally, these twelve months are devided in 6 seasons, Vasant (blossoms / spring), Grishma (Season of first rain), Varsha (rains), Sharad (Season of abundance), Hemant (mild winter), Shishir (Chilling time).

    I have tried explaining these seasons in this poem. Hope you like it. Let me know in the comments bellow.

  • मनातले गांव – Hidden town in my mind

    मनातले गांव – Hidden town in my mind

    I believe that everybody has their own version of Utopia in their mind. For me it’s a small town which we can see around us in real life. Its habitants are also familiar faces. Nothing fancy or extravagant. People are happy and helpful. Courteous and smiling. I always wonder why we don’t experience this in real life.

    This is such a small expectation. But what we see around us is disbelief amongst each other. Grim faces of people walking around. High levels of road rage. Everything lacks a bit of happiness. I tried penning down this feeling in this poem. Hope you have enjoyed it.

    कविता

    माझ्याही मनात आहे
    एक गांव लपलेले,
    तसे दिसायला सारखेच
    आपल्या भोवती असणारे.

    माणसेही त्यातली वाटतात
    तशी ओळखीची,
    बोलतात आपुलकीने,
    करतात मधून चौकशी.

    एक प्रश्न पडतो मला
    उत्तर मात्र मिळत नाही,
    भोवतालची माणसे खरी,
    अशी का वागत नाही?

    Rough translation

    A small town is hiding
    in my mind
    similar in looks
    which is ahead and behind

    People residing there
    have faces familiar
    How are you doing?
    they ask, is everything fair?

    It all seems merry
    but I always wonder
    I don’t see them around
    Why real world is harder.

  • 5 Marathi films that you shouldn’t miss

    5 Marathi films that you shouldn’t miss

    Just like music, taste for films is different for everyone. Some people find  relief in comedy, some of them love romcoms. Crime thrillers catch the fancy of a few while some gravitate towards films with social cause or message. That’s why the single list of “Best Movies” will always be contested. Even this list will be challenged by my fellow film enthusiasts or film lovers. However, If you want to know what I think about Modern Marathi Films, these 5 are the best bets to pick. 

    My top picks for Marathi Films that you shouldn’t miss

    Every Marathi movie fan will pick 1988 classic Ashi Hi Banawa Banawi in the top movie lists. There are few modern entries which are obvious to the list like Sairat, Dhurala, Farjand etc. However, they are not in the list. One point in not picking them is that they already have their fame and fans. These are a few movies which I think should also get their fair share of fame out of Marathi hearts. This list is not the ranking like most to least favorite. आप इनकी क्रोनॉलॉजी समझीये!

    Checkmate (2008)

    2008 Marathi crime thriller directed by Sanjay Jadhav which follows a bunch of young guys who lose millions in a gamble to make easy money in a ponzi scheme. Film tells us the story of their attempts to recover the lost money by tracking and manipulating the mastermind behind the scheme with their intelligence. For me, this film actually marked the change in Marathi films by bringing them out from the run of a mill commercial comedy film-making trend. Go to Zee5 to watch this pathbreaking film.

    Harishchandrachi Factory (2009)

    Paresh Mokashi, a wonderful director, decided to make a film about the father of Indian Cinema and created this amazing film. Later it became the official entry of India for the Academy Awards of that year. Film narrates a story of a journey of Dadasaheb Phalke from him discovering the cinema tent to producing India’s first feature film. Knowing about the new industry, getting knowledge of techniques and equipment to make a film, struggles to put together a team of actors and technicians are portrayed in the film so beautifully in a humorous way. I simply love this film. You can watch it on Netflix now.

    Narbachi Wadi (2013)

    Adapted from a Bengali short story, Manoj Mitra’s “Chajjano Bagan”, Aditya Sarpotdar directed Narbachi Wadi. This funny story is all about generations of landlords trying to grab a piece of land from Narba. Landlord has gifted this land to Narba’s father for saving a landlord’s life. It takes you to the beautiful coastal land of Konkan. Dilip Prabhavalkar’s Narba and Manoj Joshi’s portrayal of landlor Story is full of the quirks of the land.

    Happy Journey (2014)

    Happy journey is a story of Niranjan and Janaki, a brother and sister duo. Niranjan is a very dry person, practical, detached from a family who is working in gulf. However he meets a spirit of his sister who has hardly seen him when she was alive. Both of them take this journey to rekindle their bond in a very unique way. I simply love the movie because of it’s cinematography in Goa, choice of colour pallets for different characters and songs from the film. One thing which always remains with you is “Happy Journey” the van which they revive for the journey from its scrappy slumber. Amazon Prime is streaming this one.

    Faster Fene (2017)

    Faster Fene is a legendary character created by B. R. Bhagwat who is always wandering around to solve the mysteries and do adventures around. Aditya Sarpotdar brought this character to today’s world through this 2017 film. The publicity campaign was unique in itself just like a film. In this film he tries to solve the muder mystery. He gets involved in this scene when he comes to Pune for a medical entrance exam. Amey Wagh has built the character of Faster Fene superbly. It stands strongly against the powerful villain portrayed by Girish Kulkarni. You guys can watch this murder mystery on Zee5.

    Have you watched any of these films? What would be your list of 5 movies one shouldn’t miss.

  • ठरलेच होते…

    ठरलेच होते…

    PicsArt_03-27-12.05.27.jpg

    वेगळे हे चालणे ठरलेच होते
    आपले हे वागणे ठरलेच होते

    केवढी ही शांतता दोघांमध्ये या
    अंतराचे वाढणे ठरलेच होते

    जाहली लाही किती ही अंग अंगी
    रात सारी जागणे ठरलेच होते

    काय सांगू मी कहाणी आज माझी
    शेवटी मी हारणे ठरलेच होते

    चालली होती विजांची तानबाजी
    ती समेवर थांबणे ठरलेच होते

    ठेवला विश्वास मी बोलांवरी त्या
    तो मला मग टाळणे ठरलेच होते

  • चलनी नोटेस…

    चलनी नोटेस…

    सये तुझ्याविण चालत नाही संसाराचे गाडे,
    तू नसतांना आमुचे सारे काम आज हे अडे.

    पाच दहा ते दोनहजारी, ल्याली सारी रूपे,
    कधी शंभरी सोबत घेऊन काम करी तू पुरे.

    वजन ठेवता कामावर तू, पाय त्यास हो फुटे,
    वजन वाढता अवजड होते, आम्हा उगीच वाटे.

    हात बदलशी सारखेच तू, शांत कधी ना बसे,
    नसता जवळी कधी कुणाच्या, त्याचे होई हसे.

    येई सत्ता, थोडी मत्ता, साथ तुझी जर असे,
    झिंग तुझी जर जादा होता, विवेके गेला दिसे.

    नतमस्तक मी होतो सखये, बघूनी लीला साऱ्या,
    या जगतावर तुझीच चाले, एकछत्री ही माया.
