Chitrakaar

ek chitra - jivanta rangancha - ticha - tyane kadhlela.
rangansarkhach jivanta - tyachyasathi.
ticha shvaas aiku yeto tyala.
ratri dole mitatat tiche.
tyacha navin chitra pahun haste ti.
ani radte tyachya barobar, jenvha to ektaach asato,
kopryaat baslela.
tyachya adhantari haakela o dete chitramadhun
- chitrache ranga evadhe uthun ka distayt tyala umjatach nahi

To

ek prachanda mothi kholi.
ek khurchi.
kopryat ek kharata.
kahi jalmata, pan koli nahi.
jaalyat adakleli mrut mashihi nahi.

kahi kagad.
ardhavat chitra.
adeech kavita, ek khodleli.

junya paddhatichi gaj asleli khidki.
daar nahi.
bhinitivar asankhya taarkha, roj badalalelya.
banda kholit khup mokli jaaga.
- ani to, ekta jeev.

Stupid

Its funny and at the same time fascinating to observe how one manages to be stupid at times. Its like a guerrilla attack - completely unsuspected. There you are, cruising through a smooth conversation, each word, each thought carefully chosen - and suddenly... bam! You mess it all up by saying the stupidest thing possible. And then there is the combination of awkward silence, a bad joke to mend things and that fake air of casual carelessness.

Though what makes me curious as a kid is that - did the other person find you stupid too? Or just cutely candid?

don dolyanmadhla antar, jasjasa kami hot jaata,
othanna janavte javalik, tya dusrya othanchi.

shabdancha khel chaluch rahato,
shvaas guntatat,
dhaap lagte,
urtaat, haatat haat.

pan ya saglya gondhalat,
lakshat rahataat, te don dole.
- maza samudra.
an budto mi, mana paryant.
