nostalgia...

मला पुन्हा एकदा तरी शाळेत जायचय.
धावत जाऊन माझ्या रोजच्या बाकावर बसायचय
रोज सकाळी खड्या आवाजात राष्ट्रगीत म्हाणायचाय
नव्या वहिचा वास घेत पहिल्या पानावर
छान अक्षरात आपल नाव लिहायचाय
मला पुन्हा एकदा तरी शाळेत जायचय.

कितीहि जड असुदे... जबाबदारीच्या ओझ्यापेक्षा
दप्तराच ओझ पाठिवर वागवायचय,
कितीहि उकडत असू दे.. वातानुकूलित ऒफ़िसपेक्षा
पन्खे नसलेल्य वर्गात खिड्क्या उघडून बसायचय,
कितीहि तुटका असु दे.. ऒफ़िसमधल्या एकट्या खुर्चिपेक्षा दोघान्च्या बाकावर ३ मित्रान्नी बसायचय,
"बालपण देगा देवा" या तुकारामान्च्या अभन्गाचा अर्थ
आता थोडा कळायला लागलाय,
तो बरोबर आहे ना.. हे विचारयला...
मला पुन्हा एकदा तरी शाळेत जायचय


A very beautiful poem in Marathi fowarded by a friend. No idea who is the writer though. It indeed gushed all the loving school memories back.

infatuation is what they call it.....

You see this image above, right? Isn't she awesomely beautiful? I have been infatuated by this female for some time now. For the uninformed, she is Smita Patil-a yesteryear Hindi cinema actress famous for her work in parallel art stream. Now, I really have no idea what is the reason behind this sudden liking for her. Neither I have watched any of her films offlate nor there has been any news remotely relating to her thats fallen on my ears. I have no clue et al !!??!! But somehow I just can't get over her.

I want to collect and watch all her films. Now thats tough I guess. Need money. No job. What a life?!? hahaha.

omkara rocks!

Saw the movie last weekend, and I think every frame of this movie was worth the money. Thanks to the immensely talented Vishal Bhardwaj that we get to watch here an adaptation of one of the great plays by some famous English bard(what's in a name I ask? ;)) . So if you are a Hindi movie-goer and appreciate good cinema(which ofcourse doesn't include the chopra-johar clan of movies), go and watch it. It is brilliant.

"bewakoof aur chutiye mein dhaage bhar ka farak hota hain. agar tum ye movie nahi dekhte ho toh fir tum bewakoof aur chutiya, dono kehalaoge.hahahahaha"

Update: There is an excellant review of the movie here by some Bharadwaj Ranjan. I wish someday my writing turns out as lucid and as able in keping-attention as the review written by this guy. Hats Off Mr. Ranjan. Another review here by Falstaff pointing out the negatives as he sees them(I do not completely disagree with Falstaff) .
