काही दिवसांपूर्वी एक झाड पाहिलं
भर पावसाळयात वाळलेलं
सगळीकडे हिरवं हिरवं असतांना
आपली सगळी पान गाळलेल

विचार करत होतो
काय म्हणून अस याला बोचलं
असं काय जिव्हारी लागणारं असेल टोचल
की हे जगण्यावर असं रुसलं
सृष्टिचा उत्सव ऋतू सुरु असताना
हे त्याच्याकडे पाठ करून का बसलं ?

त्या झाडाखाली एक म्हातारी
भाजी विकत बसायची
सगळी बहरलेली झाड सोडून
ती या वाळलेल्या झाडाखालीच असायची

बहुधा तिला या झाडाबद्दल
मनोमन जिव्हाळा वाटायचा
त्याच्या वाळलेल्या खोडावरून हात फिरवताना
तिला जसा जवळचा नातलग भेटायचा

एकदा तिला भेटून बोललोच
म्हणाली, पोरा , आधी पासूनच इथेच बसायचे
वाळल, सुकलं, म्हणून सोडून दिल्यावर
कस वाटता तुला नाही रे कळायचं

दाट सावलीच होत आधी हे ही झाड
दिवंसोदिवस पडत होती याच्या पण सौंदर्यात वाढ
कुठून काय माहित एक जुईची वेल याच्या पायथ्याला उमलली
आधाराला म्हणून याच्या खोडाला बिलगली

दिवसा मागून दिवस जात होते
जुई जशी बहरत होती
फांद्याना मिठी मारून
कशी शेंड्याला लहरत होती

जुईच्या सुगंधाने
सगळं झाडच कसं मोहरलं होत
झाडाचा आधार घेता घेता
त्यांच प्रेम बहरलं होतं

एके दिवशी कोणी तरी
जुई मुळातूनच उपटलेली
जीव जात असताना
ती तशीच झाडाला लपेटलेली

उन-पावसापासून वाचवलेली जुई
झाडाच्या अंगा-खांद्यावर गेली
तिची पान-फूल गळतांना पाहून
झाडाची पण जगण्याची इच्छा मेली

अश्रू ढळावेत तसं मग
झाडानेही एक एक करून पान गाळल
अन पाहता पाहता एक दिवस
भर पावसाळ्यात झाड वाळल

Gubbu‘s Birth day (Gubbu is baby’s name we used to refer it before his birth day)

Day 16th November 2014. Pournima admitted to Bidaye hospital, Navi peth, Pune. Met her at hospital.. She was doing great and hoping that delivery will not going to happen tonight or any time tomorrow as she was perfectly fine with no symptoms of labor pains. We all were happy.. But I was little concern over what is gonna happen.. The word Cesarean section was really very scary for me. Doctor was saying that baby head is still in upward position, so we might have to go with Cesarean option. With that concern in mind , I had light discussion with all.. And left pournima back in hospital with very heavy heart.

Day Monday 17th November 2014. I was suppose to reach early .. I got couple of calls from kaki(Pournima’s Aunt) and Varsha aatya(another Aunt) to come early.. I had to come with papa, mom n sis.. So got little late…. Left home in hurry with so excited still equally nervous feeling.. Traffic was at its best.. I cursed it.. Abused it.. Thought of to fly my car to reach in their..  Drove rash, bad as much as I can..  Was praying to unknown power to make everything fine.  When I reached hospital, Pournima was already been taken to operation theater.. I felt very very guilty.. Felt like I had to have  here to hold hand and tell my lovely wife.. That everything is gonna be alright..I don’t know how I would  have done it when I, myself was not sure..  I felt like every second was taking decade to pass.. I felt like my breath got heavy and I have to force myself to breathe in n out. Kaki n Varsha Aatya had kept their ear to operation theater door to listen something, anything. I was also running back and forth to both front n back door of OT(Operation theatre). Never ever in my life I waited for something to happen or curious about, like as I was today.  Not sure, but probably I was only thinking Pournima to be alright. Gauri(Her cousin who is also Gynac MD) was inside, that was the only relief.  All my soul came to my ears to hear something nice about my wife n my unseen little one. In last 9 months, attachment developed with little one was incredible.. I was dying to see his/her first glimpse. When I kept my ear to operation theater door, some machine was doing tick tick sound.. I felt that it  exactly matches my heart beat.. Oh God, why don’t we have fast forward button in life? Strange feeling it was .. Every second, I felt like to run in OT and be with Pournima.. I know I could never share what’s she is going through but equally I was feeling everything to be alright. All eyes were on that door.. God, god plz open the door let me know the good news.. In fact best news I ever heard in my life.. Plz plz plz… I was wondering when doctor will come out and congratulate baby’s father.. I wish Gauri could come out tell me what’s going on.. I wish that door to open now.. Yes now.. NOW MEANS NOW…I was hoping Gauri to break the ice first.. But look who was in hurry.. My baby .. That crying sound coming out of OT was so soothing that it went in from ears .. Touched my heart.. Filled it with love and emotions so much that it started spilling out of my eyes.. I looked around to see Sis Mom n Papa are in same boat.. We all were crying at same time .. A rare moment.. Precious one.. Only concern was is Pournima doing well? Gauri came out and told “Its Boy” news to add more joy.. I remember, I asked Gauri how’s Pournima in very teary voice.. Great relief to hear that she is doing good.

Few minutes later I saw my little bundle of joy. Cuteeee was looking at me with his little eyes. I heard many times that “I blessed with baby” and all.. But never knew what so called “blessed” is. Now I know what it is…

Met Pournima few minutes later.. Her usual mesmerizing smile was saying it all.. Tears of joy .. Tears of joy n tears of joy..

Thank u my love of life and welcome our Horcrux.

A perfect friendship day.. !! Best ever!!

मनाला पडली तुझी

​​अशी रे भूल

​अनवाणी पायाखाली मखमल

​वाटत असे !!​

भक्तीत राहिली

आता कसली न कसर

तहान भुकेचा विसर

तुझ्यापायी !!

नाही उनाची काळजी

ना पावसाची फिकर

ओठांत तुझ नामाचा जिकर

आनंद यात्रेत !!

मनात विठ्ठल

कणाकणात विठ्ठल

क्षणा-क्षणात साठलं

विठ्ठल प्रेम !!

​जरी मानतो मी

दगडात नसे देव

मनी ज्याच्या भाव

तो पांडुरंग असे !! ​

God No More!!
No more putting TV off when Sachin gets out..
No more believing that match is still in India’s favour as Sachin is on the ground
No more rush to cafeteria to watch Sachin completes his hundered.
No more nightmares to Shane Warne.
No more heart beat speed ups when Sachin is in span of 90 to 100
No more curiosity how much run Sachin made to them who missed a match.
No more regrets to miss watching Sachin makes 100.
No more classic sweep shots to the spinners
No more clean straight drives
No more upper cut to the pace bowlers
No more epitome of joy to the bowler who takes Sachin’s wicket.
No more excitement when openers walks into the ground.
No more Sachin Sachin Sachin shouts in the crowd..!!
No more a little master in blue jersey.
No more Sachin on the ground who made century a prestigious number.
No more holiness in game as God retires.

Feel lucky to be born in era when God himself played Cricket.

There was a time when Singers like Kishor Kumar, Mhmd Rafi, Mukesh, Lata used to sing, where most of the time music was just to support it. Then time came where music overshadow the vocal and very less scope remained to vocals and Lyrics. I think Mohit chauhan brought old time back. I follow him since dooba dooba rehta hun song from his debut album. He always left me amazed with his vocal skills. I used to tell friends that he is great singer but under utilized. May be A R Rahman understood my concern and he pick him for all songs from movie Rockstar. Now whole world knows what Mohit Chauhan is capable of. In Rockstar movie songs even Rahmans music looks secondary, I really started thinking that Does he really need music at background. Every song from Rockstar is a master piece. When you see/listen such a great work done, you really want to thank the artist. This blog is just to say thank you to vocal miracle Mr. Mahit Chauhan and Mr. A R Rahman for finding a gem and polishing it to finest quality. Thank you for giving my ears best experience of all time.

Mohit Chauhan is now continued pleasing through barfi songs. I listen to it and say spontaniously. Waa.. what a refreshing divine voice… Jiyo Mohit Chauhan Jiyo.. 🙂 🙂

असाच काल कंपनीच्या गाडीतून जात होतो
भूरभूर पाऊस नुकताच सुरु झालेला
ट्राफिक नेहमीपेक्षा जास्तच
नजर खिडकीतून बाहेर रोखलेली
शून्यात
गाडीमध्ये रेडीओवर नेहमीसारखाच गोंधळ
आणि अचानक गाणे बदलून
“सावन बरसे तरसे दिल
क्योंना घरसे निकले दिल ” चे
मनाला भिडणारे सूर ऐकू येतात
आणि मग ते हरिहरनचे सूर घेऊन जातात परत मागे
चालत्या गाडीला कोणीतरी रिवर्स गियर टाकावा
आणि सुसाट घेऊन जावे तुझ्या गावाला तसाच काही तरी
आणि उलगडावी तुझी प्रत्येक आठवण
वार्याने जशी पुस्तकची पाने आपोआप उलगडत जावी तशीच
बोटाला सुई मारावी आणि झरझर रक्त बाहेर यावे
असेच काही तरी गाण्याने केले होते
खूप दिवस धुळीने झाकाळलेली तुझ्या नावाची पाटी
एक दिवस पावसाने धुवून निघावी
आणि तुझा नाव लख्ख दिसावं असाच काही तरी
परत तीच काळजात धडधड
जिवंत असल्याचा पुरावा
म्हणूनच की काय निर्जीव झालेल्या मनाला
मातीचा दरवळलेला सुगंध ही जाणवू लागलेला

क्रमशः

“मला पावसात भिजायला आवडतं रे “

म्हणणारी तू आठवतेस

पावसाने पान, फूल, सृष्टी बहरते

मग आपण का छत्रीखाली लपायचं रे

आणि मग हात पसारून पावसात जाणारी तू आठवतेस

पावसात भिजनारी तू

तुला पाहताना भान  हरवलेला मी

गाडीच्या खिडकीतून नकळत हात बाहेर काढतो

आणि हातावर पडणार्या पावसाच्या थेंबांनी

भानावर येतो

हा पाऊस असाच

दुष्काळ मिटवतो

बाहेरचा आणि माझ्या डोळ्यातला देखील

क्रमशः

~ दीप

=======================================================

” ही सगळी सृष्टी देवाचीच ना रे
मरगळ आलेल्या सृष्टीला
पावसाने स्वच्छ धुऊन तो लख्ख करतो
बोडख्या झालेल्या डोंगरावर
हिरवे पांघरून घालतो
संपत आलेले पाण्याचे साठे परत काठोकाठ भरतो
जमिनीखाली दडलेल्या बीजांना जीवन देतो
चैतन्याचे वारे सर्वत्र पसरवतो
तुझ्या सारख्या बुद्धीजीवाला हे पटणार नाही
पण कल्पना मस्त आहे ना
मानायला काय हरकत आहे “

असा मला पाऊस शिकवणारी
तू आठवतेस

मग ढग भरून यावेत
तसे मन दाटून येते
आणि सुरु होतो
टप टप पाऊस आसवांचा
आणि मी हि त्याला तसाच बरसू देतो

तुला पाऊस आवडायचा ना
म्हणून

— दीप
