मधमाद सारंग



मधमाद सारंग 

हा सारंग....

समुद्राच्या लाटांप्रमाणे

उसळवतो ह्रदयात

अनंत आठवणी

विस्मृतीत गेलेल्या क्षणांच्या

एक चित्रपट

कासावीस करणारा

तरळू लागतो मन:चक्षूंसमोर

असं वाटतं हे सूर सांगताहेत

अनंत काळापासूनचा इतिहास

माझ्या आयुष्याची क्षणचित्रे

हे केवळ एक माध्यम

पण कथा मात्र 

अवघ्या मानवजातीची

वेदनेची, संघर्षाची

हातातून निसटणार्‍या क्षणांची

अपरिहार्य क्षणभंगूरतेची

तरीसुद्धा हा सारंग

ओढत राहतो पुन:पुन्हा

करत राहतो घायाळ

A visit to Madam Bedi

Image
I read an article with this title written by Tara Westover in a recent edition of the weekly "The New Yorker" dated 24th February 2025. It has come under the head "Personal history". The article has the above picture of a sari clad woman at the start. The obvious Indian connection attracted me to the article and I started reading it. The story goes thus :- The author is a graduate student at the University of Cambridge in USA. She has formed a close friendship with a student named Sukrit. She has come against the wishes of her father who stays in Idaho and is not on speaking terms with her. She carries the hurt with her all the time and the bitterness sometimes spills into her conversation with her fellow students. Sukrit is aware of her pain. He suggests that she visit his mother in Delhi for a few days. She finds it absurd initially but later on agrees. Sukrit's mother, Satbir Bedi, is a divorcee. But she is also a high ranking government officer enjoying all ...

The world of Haiku

Image
Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry, founded and popularised by the poet Matsuo Basho. It is a very short poem of just three lines. The lines follow 5-7-5 format. First line should have 5 syllables, second 7 and third 5. A total of 17 syllables only. Haiku essentially captures the present moment, anything that you see or hear or smell or taste or feel that touches your heart. It is poetry with as few words as possible and is not expected to have a decorative language. Suggestiveness is a prominent feature of Haiku. It started in the 17th century but took a considerable time before it was first translated into English. Ravindranath Tagore brought it to India after his visit to Japan. Now, it is written in many Indian languages, particularly in Hindi and Marathi. Haiku became popular in Marathi in the 70s and 80s. Shirish Pai, acclaimed poetess, was instrumental in introducing it in Marathi. Since then, several poets have tried their hand at writing Haiku in marathi and the form is gainin...

Operation Safed Sagar

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3496793674991691"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> I saw this web series on Netflix. Essentially, it is about Kargil war of 1999, how it was fought on the Indian side, the challenges faced by the Indian army and Indian Air Force. It was nail biting and I could not stop till the last episode. It was very well picturised and directed and the challenges to win back the occupied peaks were very well explained. The sacrifices made by the soldiers bring tears to the eyes. The performances of lead actors Siddhartha and Jimmy Shergil were outstanding, well supported by Abhay Verma, Amrita Bagchi, Dia Mirza, Mihir Ahuja and Prajakta Koli. This web series needs to be watched. Ravindra Shenolikar
