अथांग शांतता

ती अनाथ मुले थांबलेली, आकाशाकडे हाथ पसरून,
चेहऱ्यावर अश्रू सुकलेली, आणि पसरलेली अथांग शांतता. 
अर्ध्या सारणात रचलेला मृत भाऊ, 
आणि शोधूनही न सापडलेला तो बापाची शोकांतिका,
आणि डोळे असूनहि न पाहणारी देशाची जनता,
आणि पसरलेली अथांग शांतता. 
यात कसले शुरपण? यात कसले देवपण?
फक्त दुख आणि दुख आणि आणि पसरलेली अथांग शांतता. 

दुरुस्ती पलीकडे जळालेली घरे, मृत देहाचा वास हवेत चहु कडे,
रडून अर्धवट मेलेली ती स्त्री, तुटलेल्या बांगड्या इकडे तिकडे,
आणि पसरलेली अथांग शांतता. 
आकाशात विजय कंदिलाचा प्रकाश, 
आता कोण मारणार, पाहतात डोळे वाट,
भीतीने थर थर कापणारा त्या मुलांचा हात,
आणि पसरलेली अथांग शांतता. 

सैनिक हरली आणि हार त्यांनी मानली,
बायकांची इज्जत बलात्कारात लुटली,
तिला कापली, तोडली, आणि ती संपली,
आणि येणारी पिढी द्वेषात डुबली.
यात कसले शुरपण? यात कसले देवपण?
फक्त दुख आणि दुख आणि आणि पसरलेली अथांग शांतता.

FRIENDS FOREVER ???

Such a cliché title, you might be thinking and my blog must have already been judged by you. But I’m guessing the question mark must have intrigued your curiosity. To be honest I was looking forward to this long weekend to write about a few things which were there on my mind from a long time and this topic was not at all in the list. But today when I sat to hit the keys on my laptop I realized it’s ‘Friendship Day’ eve and suddenly there was a hurricane of thoughts in my mind struggling to burst. I have met many people in my life, some have no parents, some no siblings, some have no aunts-uncles and some no relatives but I have not met a single person till date without a friend. Even the most narcissist person like Dr. House has the  most  humble friend like Wilson. So what makes this relationship so incomparable and pure? I think a simple fact that we get to choose it. In childhood being someone’s friend or having a friend was a big deal. You wouldn’t call anyone your f...

An Encounter With Wildlife

 “TO COME CLOSER, GO TOO FAR” I don’t know from whom and when I heard this quote, but yesterday, the quote proved true when I went to my village for its annual fair. It is my grandmother’s place. I have hardly stayed there for more than twice as I do not like the eating habits of the people living there. They eat bhakris (made up of Jawar and Bajra in the breakfast, in the lunch and in the dinner too. I am more habitual too and would always love to eat chapattis and bread. There are many other reasons why I haven’t spent many days there when my other siblings are always happy to spend their entire Diwali and summer vacation. The village fair is a great affair, for the villagers . I have been going there once in a year since last three years just to drop my mother as she cannot travel by public transport due to an injury in her back, and I have hardly stayed there even for a night. Though people there are very nice and have all praises for me, I always preferred to be...

Study is not Everything......

I am tired of studying for these terms. Can career be really made by being a bookworm? Or should I also study because others have been doing it without giving it a turn? Life is so small just like a 12 hours tic-toc clock. if I spend 8 hours in studying, Sure, my life will be blocked. I can't learn answers by heart Neither I can fill the pages by being oversmart. My handwriting is not so good Neither my Maths presentation. But I know all what I see and listen. It is still there in my Brain's accomodation. I can't manage getting up early breaking my dreams and the world of fairy. I can't manage to be scared of someone Scared of teacher when I don't do homework. I don't accept hitting the rular on my hand I am not the tiger in the circus who is badly trapped. How can express what my heart wants? Where my mind roams and where my soul stunts. Let me dive in the oceans of my dreams Let me persue, whether a smile or a chilled scream. Let me live just for today forgett...
