*****
आकाशीचे तारे अजुनी पुसती मला
का आजही आहे वाट येण्याची तिच्या तुला?
हळूच हसुनी ह्रदय हे बोले हळुवार....
सांग की ती सोडून गेली कधी मला ?

******

हास्याने अधरान्ना श्रुन्गारणे सोडुनी दिले
स्वप्नांनी चक्षुना सजविणे त्यजुनी दिले
आजकाल सखे उचकी ही येत नाही
का आठवणीत आणणे सखे तू मला सोडुनी दिलेस?

पडकं घर ...

पडकं घर ...
मोडक्या भिंती
जपत परी होत्या
प्रेमाची नाती ...
बाबा निवृत्त
आई आजारी
दादा बेकार
ओढाताण फार
ओढाताण दिसायची
जेवायच्या ताटात
पण एकोप्याने
व्ह्यायची त्यावर मात...
दिवस पालटले ....
दादाची संपली परवड
प्रोबेशनरी ऑफिसर म्हणून
त्याची झाली निवड ....
आता लोन मिळालघर
ही उभ झाल ...
गोरी गोरी पान
वहिनी पण आली
घर उभ झाल
त्याचं चांगभलं जहालं
पण प्रेमाचं नातकुठे
तरी हरवून गेलं
कुठे तरी हरवून गेलं .......

अधर स्पर्श .....

अधर स्पर्श .....
नव यौवना तू षोडष वर्षा प्राप्त
मदमस्त चाल ती तव गजगामिनी सम्प्राप्त
भुलविशी कितिका त्या तव नाजुक नखर्याने
सांडीती काळीजे कितिक जाशी ज्या मार्गाने
रूप लावण्य कितिक ते तव वर्णावे ...
शब्दाना ही पडती मर्यादा स्वभावे.....
बोलता सखे तुज सवे.. लक्ष असे
सतत तव तय नाजुक अधरांकड़े
विलग होता तव अधर कथण्या काही
अधरची जाई की काळीज लकाकुनी
सहजची दाटे भाव मनात
कधी होशील माझी, मी तृषार्त
कधी येइल क्षण मिलनाचा
तू अन मी एकरूप होण्याचा ...
अन् मग त्या मिलनाच्या क्षणी
अधरांनी अधरान्ना अधर स्पर्शीले
अधरची मग तन मन रोमांचित

See the Unseen!

See the Unseen!

Yesterday one of my friends said something which is a piece of great wisdom.

She said, “If you like someone, you should like almost everything about him/her."

This is the first time I gave concentration to this thought. If you look around most of us are busy in finding shortcomings of people . We are letting go a wonderful opportunity of finding the best in people we love.

Let’s appreciate people for what is good in them. Start with the very small thing you like about them and everyday find just one good thing. See what normally you are not able to see.Tell them what you like about them. Tell them why you want to be with them. This will make your relationship strong & warm, for ever.

Life is too short for finding negatives, find positives!!

आई

आई हा एक शब्द आहे असं म्हणण व्यर्थ आहे कारण त्यात आहे जे वात्सल्य शब्दात उतरवणं आहे ते अशक्य!! तरी हा एक प्रयास आहे तिच्याच वाढदिवसाला छोटीशी एक भेट आहे .. आई म्हणजे मंदिराचा उंच कळस आई म्हणजे अंगणातील पवित्र तुळस आई म्हणजे भजनात गुणगुणावी अशी संतवाणी आई म्हणजे आरतीत वाजवावीअशी लयबध्द टाळी आई म्हणजे वेदनेनंतरची सर्वात पहिली आरोळी....... मी एक चातक आहे तर ती पर्जन्यचा थेंब आहे मी अत्तर तर ती त्यातला सुगंध आहे माझ्या आयुष्याची ती एक चित्रकार आहे अंधारात मला दिसणारा आशेचा किरण आहे कोणत्याही वादळात तग धरून राहीलेली माझ्या आयुष्यातील कल्पतरु आहे जिच्यामुळे मी, माझी कविता आहे ती माझी......माझीच फक्त आई आहे.

The Fish and the Turtle

The Fish and the Turtle

Once upon a time there was a fish. And just because it was a fish, it had lived all its life in the water and knew nothing whatever about anything else but water. And one day as it swam about in the lake where all its days had been spent, it happened to meet a turtle of its acquaintance who had just come back from a little excursion on the land.
"Good day, Mr. Turtle!" said the fish. "I have not seen you for a long time. Where have you been?""Oh", said the turtle, "I have just been for a trip on dry land."
"On dry land!" exclaimed the fish."What do you mean by on dry land? There is no dry land. I had never seen such a thing. Dry land is nothing.""Well," said the turtle good-naturedly. "If you want to think so, of course you may; there is no one who can hinder you. But that's where I've been, all the same."
"Oh, come," said the fish. "Try to talk sense. Just tell me now what is this land of yours like? Is it all wet?""No, it is not wet," said the turtle. "Is it nice and fresh and cool?" asked the fish."No, it is not nice and fresh and cool," the trutle replied."Is it clear so that light can come through it?""No, it is not clear. Light cannot come through it.""Is it soft and yielding, so that I can move my fins about in it and push my nose through it?""No, it is not soft and yielding. You could not swim in it.""Does it move or flow in streams?""No, it neither moves nor flows in streams.""Does it ever rise up into waves then, with white foams in them?" asked the fish, impatient at this string of Noes."No!" replied the turtle, truthfully. "It never rises up into waves that I have seen." "There now," exclaimed the fish triumphantly. "Didn't I tell you that this land of yours was just nothing? I have just asked, and you have answered me that it is neither wet nor cool, not clear nor soft and that it does not flow in streams nor rise up into waves. And if it isn't a single one of these things what else is it but nothing? Don't tell me." "Well, well", said the turtle, "If you are determined to think that dry land is nothing, I suppose you must just go on thinking so. But any one who knows what is water and what is land would say you were just a silly fish, for you think that anything you have never known is nothing just because you have never known it." And with that the turtle turned away and, leaving the fish behind in its little pond of water, set out on another excursion over the dry land that was nothing.

Another Good Story I recieved in my mail box ...here to share with you all

Just Pray .....

Never pray for an easier life, pray to be a stronger person. Never pray for tasks equal to your power but for power equal to conquer your taskTrusting God won't make the mountain smaller but it'll make the climb easier. Hope u'll be able to climb all ur mountains today & everyday.When you're a winner you're always happy, but if you're happy as a loser you'll always be a losers

ATTITUDE That Counts....

''The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of their minds.''
~ William James


There was a man who made his living, selling balloons at a fair. He had balloons of different colors, including red, yellow, blue and green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-filled balloon into the air. When the children saw the balloon go up, they all wanted one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon and his sales would go up. All day, he continued to release a balloon whenever the sales slowed down.
One day, the balloon man felt someone tugging at his jacket. He turned and a little boy asked, ''If you release a black balloon, would that balloon also fly?'' moved by the boy's concern, the man replied gently, ''Son, it is not the color of the balloon, it is what is inside that makes it to go up.''


The same principle applies to our lives
It's what's inside that counts. And what is inside of us that makes us go up is our attitude. The foundation of success, regardless of your chosen field, is attitude.

The Success Of Marriage........................

-I'M Sure U all Will Enjoy This Short Story.......

Once upon a time a married couple celebrated their 25th marriage anniversary. They had become famous in the city for not having a single conflict in their period of 25 years. Local newspaper editors had gathered at the occasion to find out the secret of their well known "happy going marriage". 

Editor: "Sir. It's amazingly unbelievable. How did you make this possible?" 

Husband recalling his old honeymoon days said: "We had been to Shimla for honeymoon after marriage. Having selected the horse riding finally, we both started the ride on different horses. My horse was pretty okay but the horse on which my wife was riding seemed to be a crazy one. 

On the way ahead, that horse jumped suddenly, making my wife topple over. Recovering her position from the ground, she patted the horse's back and said "This is your first time". She again climbed the horse and continued with the ride. After a while, it happened again. This time she again kept calm and said "This is your second time" and continued. When the horse dropped her third time, she silently took out the revolver from the purse and shot the horse dead !! 

I shouted at my wife: "What did you do you psycho. You killed the poor animal. Are you crazy?" . 

She gave a silent look and said: "This is your first time!!!"." 

Husband:” That’s it. We are happy ever after. "
