Innoscence

Rains = June...exciting month in each & every one's life asa a kid...eagerly waiting for first rains to shower..to take earth's blessings...it was d real fun n pun to make boats out of paper n show how much art n craft expert we are...I think not only due to rains n showers but d month brings some thrill, great enthusiasm,joy & in true sense washes out the boredom n laziness in one's life... I know asa kid we weren't that lazy n life ws always happening even though monotonous as d world was truly limited .....parents, sisre, friends, books, toys, mechanos, new things & d most indispensable part of one's life- School...

Life in true sense ws happy n limited....and we were happy in that limited world which seemed & appeared to be big fat world at that time...new books, new uniform, tiffin's - water bags...umbrella(multicoluured ....with all bright colours in dis world-I yhink they would prove useful while plying some games too) & gum-boots too(it was truly unique....as it rained heavily in rasayani...place frm where i did my schooling...as ma Dad works there) n d colour for my unique gum-boots was darkkk red ....I really can't readily accept as to why I used to love or ever like the schoking shades of pink. I mean its completly hard to believe...

D excitement of making of making varied types of boats n running to float them in d puddle nearby, with full betting that whose boat would not drown.... & realy feel bad factor when d boat used to wave in the small oceans on d roads....as it was Titanic for all of us.... to play n number of games & as if tension named wouldn't exist in our dictionary.....I think d college days along with fun n pride brought this word....n has stayed forever....as if doesn't wants to leave d place, as it has secured its position...

Picnic, Scrabble, Business, Snakes n Ladder, Ludo, Carrom.....d most enoyed indoor games, sometimes with family & loadz of friends...we haveplayed Cricket proving that during this season it can be made Indoor ...with ma Dad's full support & Mom too after scolding n trying to secure electronic gadgets use to finaly join us.....D real victory in life followed by dance sequences after taking a wicket truly idolising Sachin Tendulkar & many Bowlers in all teams.....

It can be done again but d surrounding has changed...when we wer kid there was true fascination of being teenager n roaming around with full confidence....n now we wanna be a kid again....lead a tension free, relaxed, exciting life...as we r a kid at heart stil.........

नभं उतरु आलं....

तळपत्या सुर्याला शांत करणारा चंद्र आहे.....
आग ओकणा़ऱया भास्कराला शमवणारा मेघ आहे
त्या एका मोत्या सारख्या थेम्बासाठी कित्येक महीने वाट पाहणारा चातक आहे
नविन उमेद , नव चैतन्य अणणारा सगळ्यांचा आवडता ऋतु पावसाळा आहे ......

प्रत्येकाची ह्या हिरव्या ऋतु बद्दलची भावना कशी निराळी .....
लहानग्यांची नविन छत्री ,नविन होड़ी करण्यात घाई
प्रेमी यूगुलांसाठी कॉफी, भजी अणि प्रेमाची एक मीठी ....
वयस्कराना मात्र आजरपणाची बोलावणी.....

पोपटी झालर अंगावर चढवून पृथा आता नटली आहे
जुने ऊणे विसरून नविन उत्साह सगाळिकडे पसरला आहे
लता , लतिका , पक्षी , रेवा ..... सगळ्यांमध्ये नव चैतन्य आहे ....
इंद्रधनुष्य प्रमाने विविध रंगात धरती तोर्यात वावरत आहे ....

होदी , छत्री ,वाही , ज़द ...
विचार करू लागले मी ह्याच्याही पल्याड ...
अन तेव्हाच ठरवला उघ्दुया मनाचा कवाद ...
बहरू लागला मल्हारत निशिगंधाचा ज़द

अवरानाव्र्तिच भूलूं गेले होते मी ...
चकोरी मध्येच गुर्फतुं पडले होते मी ....
पण अचानक भेटली टी ...
आयुष्याचा खरा अर्थ दरावालाला मणि .....

नयनांच्या विरहित सृष्टि अनुभवली जेव्हा...
मृद्गंध अन घुघरांची खरी ले कलाली मनाला ....
पाउस अन सर मधला खरा अर्थ कल्ला मनाला ....
मातीच्या सुगंधानी कसा बेधुंद करूउन सोडला आहे माला ...

वरवरच्या गोष्टी सोडून खोलवर विचार करू लागले मी ....
अन एक वेग्लाच पाउस अनुभवला मणि ...
भावानानी कंठ दातुन आला जेव्हा ...
नभ उतारू आला खर्या अर्थना माज्या अंगनी तेव्हा ....
