माझी डायरी

माझी डायरी दैनदिनी न्यारी
त्यात असणार प्रासंगिक वर्णन

एखादा सुंदर देखावा, किंवा मस्तशी ट्रिप
एखादा भीड़लेला पण प्रदर्शित न केलेला विचार

केव्हा काय झाले अन कोण काय म्हणाले
मला काय वाटले आणि पुढे काय करावे

एखादे गुपित, एखादी भावना अन संवेदना
जिच्यावर असेल फ़क्त माझाच अधिकार

कितीतरी गोष्टी तर अशाच असणार
ज्या मी कुणाला सांगू नाही शकणार

ज्या असतील वेदनेच्या पलिकडे
धावतील माझ्यासह सर्वांच्या पुर्वानुभावाकडे

कुणाच्या हातात जेव्हा ती पडेल
कणवेने ओथंबतिल त्यांची मने

ठायी ठायी असहायता अन घुसमटीचे दर्शन
आणि .. अजुन एक मिळेल मला मरण

मला नको असे अजून एक मरण...
              माझी डायरी मी नाही लिहिणार ...

भेट

भयानक होती
भेटण्याची आस

दाटुनी आली
कल्पनांची रास

अनुभवताना ती अधीरता
गात्राना  आली बधिरता

स्मृति वाफाळल्या
नीला रुन्दावल्या

तू अन मी
मी अन तू

आस वेडावली
रास ही कलंदली

वाफ ती जिरली
रूंदित भिनली

 भेट ..
तुझी अन माझी !

आठवण तुझी येता..

आठवण तुझी येता

मन झाले पाखरू

बसले जाउन सागारतिरी

विसावले जरा त्या झाडापाशी

डोकावले त्या आपुल्या देवालयी

फिरले पूर्ण वाचानालायामाधूनी

आठवण तुझी येता ..

झाले मी नतमस्तक

उभ्या राहिल्या तुझ्या अगाध लीला

ज्यानी आधार दिला मला लीलया

गात्रे झाली रोमांचित

वृत्ति गहिवाराल्या अवचित

आनंद चालला ओसंडून, भान गेले हरपून

आठवण तुझी येता ..

आठवण तुझी येता, जाता-येता

स्म्रुतीना तुझ्या मी बिलगले जिवलगा,

दुरावून गेले मी वास्तावा॥

आठवण तुझी येता..

गुपित

सखे सांग सांग, सांग मला सांग
गुपित तुझ्या हसण्याचे --

काळजी वाटते मला तुझी हसू नको एवढी
चुकून केव्हा पडेल तुझी जखम ओली उघडी

हसता हसता डोळ्यात तुझ्या पाणी जमेल कधी
आनंदाश्रु नाहीत नक्की , हे मला कलेल आधी

नको मला कान कोंडे करू, तू अशी एकटी
काळजी वाटते मला तुझी हसू नको एवढी

रडून घे, मोकली हो, जागा ठेव डोळ्यांमध्ये
सारे काही होणार आहे सुरलीत तुझ्या जगामध्ये

आनंदाश्रु तेव्हा तुझी पाठ नाही सोडणार
दोन्ही डोले भरभरून वाहू तुझे लागणार

खात्री आहे उरी मला तुझ्या त्या उद्याची
तरीही-
सखे थांब थांब थांब हसायची थांब
सखे थांब, सखे थांब ...

आठव ते दिवस

आठव ते दिवस तू उन्हातल्या चटक्यांचे
धावत जाउन उभ्या राहिलेल्या सावलीत शिरण्याचे


एकामागून एक प्रसंगाशी हात कर ण्याचे
दिवसाकाठी हा एक संपला,म्हणून समाधान मानायचे

एक एका विचाराना बाजुला सारन्याचे
घाम पुशीत पिलाना आपुल्या घास भरवण्याचे


ओठावर हसू, डोळ्यात आसू, उरी दू:ख जपण्याचे
आठव ते दिवस तू आपुल्या व्यथित मनांचे

आशावादी ध्येयवादी दमछाक जीवांचे
मुक्कामी आल्यावर, विसावलेल्या गोजिरया  पायांचे

आठव ते आणि हे-ही दिवस तू सुखदु:खाचे
आठव दिवस तूझ्या माझ्या जीवनरूपी संग्रामाचे

आठव ते दिवस तू--- मी आता निघते...

अमृत कलश

हा अमृताचा कलश भरभरून वाहे
जीवनाचे संचित मागे वलून पाहे

ना खेद ना खंत अंतरमानी राहे
जे जे प्राप्त त्याला मी ऋणी आहे

नाही जे गवसले, गंगेला मिळाले
सुख शांति विश्वास, पसरित नेले

अंतरी ताकद, भविष्याचे वेध सारे
मन माजे सुखावून भरारी मारे

॥ हा अमृताचा कलश भरभरून वाहे !

प्लानिंग

Somewhere, sometime in August 2008, i had scribbled something like this on Planning at 40m, satisfaction at 60:
Many a time we see that man plans and god disposes. It will sound negative, but it is not so.
Our planning for 60 will be of different types- financial, family life, emotional and very important 'time' planning.
Now as u will see, foremost thing comes to our mind when we utter the word planning is 'financial planning'.
Why?
because we do not want to be dependent on any one. We feel very much insecure if we do not have any means of living and that's why the case after our retirement. These days it is very easy to plan a life since the families are very small unlike in past. Then also, external forces influence us all. So i strongly feel that our planning should be in such a way that whatever situation arises, we should be able to cope up with that.
How?
We must have a sound cultural base and bond in the family, which we should always try to imbibe in our next generation. Giving is a natural tendency; if we pass it on to the next generation it will surely come back in a better way. While doing financial planning if we teach children value of money and the opportunity cost otherwise, it will help them understand our simple living. They will also realise that if we plan financially well now, our parents will not be our financial burden when they grow and have no income.
Emotional planning is already discussed.
Time planning is very important. Here i mean the post-retirement life (span). We should educate ourselves in such a way that we will never turn out to be 'empty mind'. When we are in fifties (if not 40s) we should try to inculcate some hobbies, health or educational regimes in our daily routines, which will be a part of our retired life. This will lead us to have avery healthy body thus healthy mind. We will be useful to our families and the society as well as if we are fit physically and mentally. Every one feels that at 60, our life should be very comfortable. But for that comfortable life, one should be able to enjoy that and from 50 onwards only, one has to introspect what are their concepts of comfort. I feel sound health- physical and mental. It enriches us and guides us in all circumstances.

How Long

How is that u wonder i am sitting still & tame
Count how many times i had to mince shame
How long will i be living with a Dead face?
Next life is waiting here since when.
How long should i wait for the Godo?
He came and decided to be here since then.
How far will i reach i do not know.
Reach is coming forward tells my sixth sense

आयुष्य हे ...

आयुष्य हे असे कसेतरी फुकट
घालावयाचे कशा..साठी?

सुंदर हे जीवन आहे
जगायचे जीव ओतून
फुलायचे पूर्ण उमलून
गहिवरल्या नात्यामध्ये
द्यायचे मनाला झोकून
आयुष्य हे ॥

छोटासा हा प्रवास आहे
अनुभवयाचा भ्रमर होऊन
निसर्गाला नतमस्तक होऊन
माणसा मधल्या देवाला त्या
शोधत शोधत जगून ..

आयुष्य हे ..

Deal

Was heading towards chorbazar
to search for one of my lost treasure
Thought the thief would have sold it there
and I will buy, may be paying even double ..

Chor chor , when i heard
saw i was being chased
when i turned-
i was seen first time, i feared
i ran and ran making road thin
hid in one corner saving my skin

one passer by saved the scene
advising me to give in
whatever i had to those making sin
So i gave my mobile valuable
bought out of my first earn
Quietly they disappeared
making me solid disturbed

There came the hand of passer by
asking for commission in this Deal
realized i, there was no need to go further
There were chor all around rather
will any one tell me , which bazar to go
to get back the lost values
or will i find there also....
such a deal of cultural improvo?

Cricket

My favourite game Mom, only one Cricket
I get so much peace so that I do not hesitate
All of us meet and communicate direct
We tell each other every- day secret
Let me go Mom, to play cricket..

Cricket cricket, whole worlde plays cricket
You only feel Mom, time spent waste
Surely not Mom, we build good circuit
We work hard and drive away storms fast
Let me go Mom, to play cricket..

Mom I am going, else they will take my wicket
Friends will tease me and will make me target
They will make me stand in front of net
Mom please.. do not disturb our nicet set
Mom.. I am going .. to play this cricket..

अकेला

मै हु अकेला
कोई मिले ना मिले दूसरा

जाऊ मै जहाँ जहाँ
करू मै प्यारका बसेरा

आएगी साथ साथ यादें तुम्हारी
लेके जायेगी सारी उदासी मेरी

बीत जायेंगे ये सारे सारे दिन
कहानी बनेगी एक प्यारभरी

सुनूंगा मै..
फ़िर भी मई अकेला ॥

बनूँगा मै युहीं यादोंका सहारा ॥

आनंद

शोधायचा असतो आनंद
मानायचे असते सुख ...
राहायाचे असते स्वछंद
झटकून मरगळ मंद  

शोधुनिया सापडला नाही जर आनंद
सारायाच्या मागे आठवणी दु:खद
राहू दया त्याला कधीतरी सूट सुट
संपवू चला ना त्याला भेटण्याची रुखरुख ॥

रोज रोज त्याला सगळ्या घरी जायचे
आसवाना  ताब्यात ठेउन उभे तेथे ठाकायाचे
काम त्याचे अवघड जरी असे सारे
सेवेला नेहमी सादर असे तो सर्व घरे
त्याला न द्यायची सुट्टी हे खरे
काम त्याचे निपटाया आपणच बरे

असेल का तो पुस्तकात वा बगिच्यात
एखाद्या गाण्यात किंवा जिवाभावाच्या गप्पात ?
शोधू कुठे.. शोधू कुठे ??
दिसला ग बाई दिसला !!..

आनंद --त्याच्या डोळ्यात दिसला !
चालेल मला -जरी तो दुरून दिसला
घेइन मी झेप नक्की -पकडायला त्याला !

I am afraid

I do not want to see thru your eyes..
I'm afraid I may see reflection of my own

I do not want to walk alongwith you..
I'm afraid, I may step on your foot

I do not want to interact with u..
I'm afraid, my own words may come back to me

I do not want to share life with u ..
I'm afraid, you may not be living your own!

ONCE

There was always Once..

That once has gone
keeping its memories
That once has made
so many stories

That once never comes back
followed by so many lessons
Elders take advantage of
children are always taught of

Poor Once...

Always resides in history
These days also helps geography !

Once has no limits-
Linked to places, people all over world
Once has no shame-
Anything happens when Once is around
Once has capability of turning
Today's facts into historic moments

Such a wonderful Once..
Helps us anywhere anytime

Once it helped me too..
when I had to play with time

and had to write something fine!

Make-up

I made up my face
I did my hair
I carried my purse
I looked out for company
and I went to the Altar..

I showed some flowers
I was not in time
He did not show his face..

But when-

I made up my mind
I did my duty
I carried my prayers
I gathered some courage
I showed confidence
I helped the needy..
I did not have to wait
He was already in my mind
And the dialogue continued....
- Alvika

A Beginning

Since childhood, I had a habit of writing my thoughts as well as thoughts of great people in small notebook. There are always turns in one"s life, particularly a woman's. So once i was out of school, my writing stopped and life started running like anything; i did not even know whether i breathed or not!

Then again i fell in love with nature, life and so called prapanch- in full swing. So many moments of joy, sorrow, anger, frustration, optimism, all sorts of thing in one full packed day and so many days together like this.

Naturally, my writing started living again! my mind was full of all emotions and thoughts!

I was running. Once when i stopped, someone close to me asked me  "what is this for? to keep locked??

Nonsense !"  And that made me come out! I began writing articles, reading my poems to my friends, publishing the scribblings, etc. Now one may think i have lots of collection; no way!

But one thing is sure, i have very sensitive mind, which makes me think.

Today, very suddenly again, i have created this blog of mine. I did not know earlier that this was so Easy!!

To begin with publishing my old writings, i did not know how to write in Devanagari script. But writing on two  Marathi Blogs - Marathi Gazal.com and Maayboli helped me  a lot. The responses from the writers on these blogs was an encouragement. To write on these blogs was becoming like an addiction!! Thnx a lot to all my well-wishers over there.

This blog of mine is fully dedicated to my dear ones. Here i must thank my friends who have patiently given an ear to my poems and talks on different issues! It was really an encouragement.

A warm welcome to all like minded. pl free to interact.

Welcome, enjoy and live happily !!
