पु ल

पु ल, वाढदिवसाच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा. दर वर्षी किती लिहायच तुमच्या बद्दल. सहज परवा मनात विचार अला की, तुमच्या व्यक्ति आणि वल्ली मधे " स्त्री व्यक्तिमत्वे" नाहीत फारशी. पण तुमच्या नाटकांचा विचार केला आणि लक्षात आली की रूढ़ अर्थाने ती नाटके स्त्री प्रधान नसतील ही कदाचित पण त्यातील स्त्री व्यक्ति रेखा मात्र सशक्त. एकाच वेळी स्त्रीचा माणूस म्हणून विचार करणाऱ्या आणि तिच्या नैसर्गिक स्वभावचे रेखटन करणाऱ्या.  तुज आहे तुजपाशी मधील उषा आणि गीता, दोघी ही स्वतःचे असे एक अस्तित्व घेऊन उभ् या आहेत. तसच दीदी राजे अणि बेबी राजे सुन्दर मी होणार मधे. एकीकडे प्रगल्भता, उद्वेग, स्वतंत्र बाणा आणि तरी ही "स्त्रीत्व" जपणाऱ्या या साऱ्या जणी. अन ती फुलराणी,जरी अनुवादित असले तरी व्यक्ती रेखा ही तुमच्याच लेखणी तुन उतरलेली अस्सल आपल्या मातीमधली. तुमच्या वर केवळ विनोदी लेखक असा शिक्का मारणे म्हणजे कूप मंडूक वृत्ति आहे, असे वाटते हे सारे वाचल्यावर. कैक वेळा वाचून सुद्धा ह्या साऱ्या जणी नव्याने भेटतात मला. आयुष्यताला विसंवाद शोधत तुम्ही विनोद घडवाला तो पण दुःखाचि किनार असलेला. जे काही मनात आले त...

कोजागिरी

ती आज घरीच होती. रोजच्या दगदगीतून थोडी सुटका, म्हणजे आज थोडी वेगळी गडबड इतकच. साधारण ८ वाजले होते रात्रीचे. दरवाज्यावरची बेल वाजली, तिला वाटलंच तो आला असेल. त्याला सुट्टी नव्हती, रोजच्या प्रमाणे तो आला असेल. आणि असे क्वचितच होते की आपण दार उघडतो त्याच्या साठी  ती हातातले काम तसच टाकून दाराकडे धावली. तिने दार उघडले  तो दारातून येतानाच एकदम काळजीने म्हणाला  "काय ग, काय झाले एकदम?" तिच्या डोळ्यातून घळा घळा पाणी वाहत होते.  त्याला काही कळेचना , काय झाले असे अचानक " काय ग , पार्टनर कि स्वामी कि हि वाट एकटीची ?" "यातले काहीच नाही." ती म्हणाली "मग?" "काही नाही रे असच " "असच म्हणजे?" "चहा घेशील का आधी?" "विषय बदलू नकोस, काय ते सांग पटकन, उगाच टांगती तलवार" "तलवार नाही रे सूरी " - ती "म्हणजे?" "अरे, काही नाही. तुझी गम्मत केली आणि गंगा जमुना सुरु होत्या , कारण कांदा चिरत होते. कोजागिरी आहे ना , मग भेळ हवीच कि " ती हसत हसत म्हणाली, डोळ्यातून पाणी मात्र वाहतच होते "हुश्श्य " त्य...

Friendship-A Journey - Part I

Friendship-A Journey  It is his last day in the city. He is shifting for higher studies. A complete silence between them. At a moment, he just hold her hand, little tight. She could sense the meaning of this act. She is able to understand what he is trying to tell her without uttering a single word. No, they are not couple, they are besties. “Best friends- forever is what they call each other. It is the toughest moment of their relationship. They know that they are not couple, however they need to convince their near ones about this. Just because of the gender difference, they don’t want to label their friendship as “Love”. She is little more sorted out than him and she is clear with her thoughts on their “special Friendship”. Yes, it is more than just being “Friends”. Care, love, rights, responsibilities, understanding, trust, everything is there in this relation. They are friends for years now, seen all ups and downs together. Both of them have reached such a com...

Just Say - I Miss You!!!!

Just Say - I   Miss   You !!!!  Three beautiful words , more meaningful than " I Love   You ". But how many times we  express this feeling? If we don’t   feel it  for anyone in life then,  we are too insensitive to be a human being. Is it really so important to express it ?  Does this gonna make any change in life ? Yes, it is important to accept it & say it.  We just cant run away or avoid the emotions. Expressing is equally important, to give a  meaning to your feelings.  Many a times, we hesitate to express some of the feelings. Sometimes, dear ones are around us, but we miss certain special moments with them, but we never say it.   Sometimes we really miss some people, special in our life. It normally happens that everyone moves on in life & people who  are special at some point of time are past now.  However, sometimes we really miss them; but don’t dare to go back to them an...

Ramaa (रमा) - A journey of a Girl - Part 1

It was one of the best evenings of her life. It was a farewell party of her graduation. So many mixed emotions were bunched up in her mind, right from the first day of college till the day she got her first dream job in campus recruitment. College life was over and the next day sun was going to add different brightness to her life now.  She had a perfect plan for next whole month, golden period between passing out from college and entering professional world. She was lucky to be placed in the same city of her residence. She had reserved 10 days for a tour which she was planning for so long. Rest of the days, she was just going to hang out with friends, read lots of books, enjoy an afternoon nap. Basically live few unplanned, unscheduled days which will be distant dream in future. Her mind was cluttered with random thoughts.  She was standing alone, a little away from the dance floor. She was waiting for her buddies to return from dance floor, so that they can have d...

स्वातंत्र्यवीर

स्वातंत्र्यवीर, स्वातंत्र्य सूर्य असे म्हणत असताना आम्ही या   स्वातंत्र्याची किंमत केली नाही तुमचा पराभव करायला जुलमी ब्रिटिश राजवट हि अक्षरश: कमी पडली अत्यंत प्रखर , प्रगल्भ आणि पराकोटीचा देशभक्त म्हणून त्यांनी तुमचं अस्तित्व मान्य केले पण आम्ही आप्त स्वकीयांनीच तुमचा सगळ्यात मोठा पराभव केला तुम्हाला काय म्हणायचं आहे याचा कणभर हि अभ्यास न करता तुमच्या वर कसले ना कसले शिक्के मारून आम्ही तुमचा आणि पर्यायाने देशाचा सगळ्यात मोठा पराभव केला आहे आम्ही तुम्हाला साहित्यिक म्हणून अनुभवले नाही, तुमचं साहित्य समजून घेण्याची कुवत आजही आमचं शिक्षण आम्हाला देऊ शकत नाही विज्ञानाची कास धरणे तर सोडूनच द्या आम्ही आजही त्याच कर्म कांडाच्या चौकटीत इतके पक्के अडकलो अहोत कि आम्ही आता त्यांनाच संस्कृती म्हणतो काळ्या पाण्याची शिक्षा तर फारच दूरची झाली हो साधे सिग्नल पाळणे हि सुद्धा आम्हाला शिक्षा वाटते कर भरले कि आपण देशसेवा करतो या भ्रमात आम्ही जगतो मग ने मजसी ने मधली मातृ भूमीची ओढ कशी कळेल आम्हाला आयुष्यभर देशप्रेम हाच संसार मानणाऱ्या कोणताच जातीभेद न मानता सा...

Parv: An amazing reading experience

Parv: An amazing reading experience Author : Shri S L Bhairappa/Marathi Translation : Mrs Uma Kulkarni /English : K. Raghavendra Rao      Generally, I do not share book or movie reviews, since art is so subjective. But some books are special and have an impact worth sharing. The book was recommended by many avid readers who knew my taste in reading which actually “anything” ! I have found Mahabharata  , an epic in true sense since it depicts whole spectrum of characteristics emotions and complications in all human relationships. The transition of values, morals throughout and merging-demerging of cultures is so rightly captured by Maharshee Vyas. A complicated Family tree indeed! I found it fascinating that whatever stories, characters being written today, are easily mapped to one of the threads in this epic. However, Parv is different and special in many ways. Shri. S L Bhairappa is not just telling a story, but interprets the action-reac...
