"समुद्र.."

परवा टी. व्ही. वर 'Wake up Sid..' पाहिला...

आणि त्यातील " Colors of Sea"  ही idea मनात घर करून बसली ..

Sea किंवा समुद्र म्हटल्या बरोबर..
प्रत्येकाच्या  मनात एक वेगळेच चित्र निर्माण होत..

एका वेगळ्या रंगाचे
एका अनोख्या क्षणाचे
वेगळ्याच अशा छटेचे..

माझ्या डोळ्या समोर तर
समुद्र हा शब्द..
रंगाची अन  त्याच बरोबर आठवातल्या क्षणांची ..
न संपणारी रीघ लावतो..

जुन्या cameraच्या रिळीप्रमाणे
हसऱ्या,
आनंदानी भरून गेलेल्या
आणि निवळ उनाडपणाची चित्रे..
अविरत डोळ्यांसमोर तरळतात..

मग वाटते तसेच डोळे मिटावेत
आणि परत एकदा तसेच..
सगळे बेधुंद अनुभवावे...

आणि असे वाटत असतानाच..
परत डोळे उघडतात..
सगळे कसे भकास वाटते...
अगदी निर्विकार..
निरस..

पण मग माझा "समुद्र "..
परत एकदा आठवतो..
आणि..

 

चहा...

सुट्टीच्या दिवशी,
दुपारभर.. मक्ख टी. व्ही. समोर बसल्यानंतर
आळसावलेल्या तोंडातून सहज शब्द बाहेर पडतात..
आई, चहा...

त्यावर आईचे उत्तर ठरलेले,
हि चहा प्यायची वेळ नाही...
मग वाटते तीला सांगावेसे,
माझ्या सारख्या "चाहा" त्याला  विचार जरा..

सांगेल तुला तो,
चहा प्यायची वेळ ही नसते आणि काळ ही नसतो..
पुढे चहा प्यायालाने होणारे फायदे
तो, अगदी अमृत प्यायालाने होणारे फायद्यानप्रमाणे सांगेल..

पण मला असे नह्मी वाटते, 
प्रत्येक "चहा" हा वेगळा असतो..
मग तो,

एखाद्या मैत्रिणी बरोबर प्यायलेला "गोस्सीप"वाला चहा असो ..
किंव्हा एखाद्या स्पेशल मित्रा बरोबर प्यायलेला "उड्प्याचा " चहा...

( परीक्षेच्या आधल्या) रात्री अभ्यास करतना प्यायलेला चहा..
आणि मैत्रिणीन बरोबर मध्य रात्री "गप्पा रंगवणारा" चहा वेगळा...

एकच.. चहा सगळ्यांनी शेर करून प्यायलेला..
किंव्हा कधी पावसात एकट्यानेच प्यायलेला चहा..
वेगळा असतो..

विमानात दुध साखर मिक्स करून प्यायलेला चहा वेगळा
आणि टपरीवर धूसर ग्लासातील "कटिंग" वेगळीच...

पण ह्या सगळ्यांपेक्षा ..
आईला न मागता,
तिने "अवेळी" दिलेला चहा काही औररच असतो..

आता चहा प्यावासा वाटतोय..
आणि "हा" वाला चहाही वेगळाच हो..








 

Dedicated to my "आई.."

Its D "Sea"....

I am still awake... Clock is ticking to 1 am.. Its a new day begining..
All I could think is to go somewhere..

Somewhere quite.. peaceful.. refreshing..
And all I could think of is "D Sea.."

If you have ever been to Mumbai, In monsoon..
All you want to do is sit by the Marine drive..
Just looking at the waves..
The rain drizzling on your head..
Making the breeze cool n fresh..

What I love the most is the cone shaped stones near my toes..
They are bathed in the rainy frosting of the sea..

And then comes the Sunset..
The most mesmirising moment when the orangish glowing sun touches the milky white border of the sea..
And I just want to freeze this moment..
Be lost in it till eternity..
Coz nothing appeals to me more than this...

 Guess everyone of us has such an all time favorite moment and
All time favorite "spot..." which we long to visit every now n then,
For me.. Its "D Sea..."

"Void..." is also a mood

World is full of all kinds of stuff,Ya heard that "a lot..", right ?
But its interesting to take some time off and see.. rather experience how all these things affect your mood..
Mood basically is the state of mind - as most of us will agree.

Its funny and sometimes unexplainable how same things make us happy or sad depending on time, place, or even a person. Its just like a vacation, same time of the year, same place.. with parents and then with FRIENDS... writing this itself makes my mood swing.

And then there are times, when everything and anyone.. just fails to have any effect on you. You dont want to talk or listen, laugh or cry, you feel as if time should stand still.. until you tour into unknwon city of dream.. N then BANG.. your back to reality and it makes you feel.. all stupid..
 Its difficult to even remmember wat got you thinking.. It all feels useless.. Void..guess its also a mood..

I got all kinds of work to finish, stuff that needs my attention.. God  um.. I dont want to do anything..
Very true.. Void is also a mood.. N for me, right now.. Its just the best.

Finally Found Someone...

In the midst of everything right from "Moments of sadness" to "eternal joy" or

From "stupid silly chatter" to "serious discussion "

Is a time.. where you look out for a person who guesses it all..

"All ..."

Your thoughts  when your pissed and want to runaway,

Your expressions of utter joy,

Your feelings of eternal content...

Thats the time when it feels....

"I Finally Found Someone.."

Howmuchever I try, its just difficult to put down in words those feelings, emotions, the happiness and satisfaction but its just beautifully and most realistically described by Bryan Adams and the bunch of most amazing lyricists..

At anytime of the day, in any weather.. this song creates the exact feeling of finding the perfect soulmate each time you listen to it...

What more can I say than..

"Oh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say
To take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life..."

I finally found "Someone.."

Just Nothing..

Today again I went to the conferenece,it was the third day in a row.
Just three days and it already feels routine. People hype a lot of things, like I heard.."Its a national conference, its a great opportuinity to present your work there.. etc etc"

But it was just nothing with very few exceptions every single person was hogging on food, snacks.. or was wondering about the gifts they will receive at each stall arranged by sponsers.

At the end of the day, it just zeros down to Nothing..

Instead earlier while waiting at the train station for my friend, standing there with the mp3 plugged in and coffee in hand.. The world felt all so different, every single person around was busy heading somewhere.. Have you tried guessing what these people must be thinking.. the corporate workers, the workers at station, the coffee vendor, the couples lost in thier own sweet world or the children with the most innocent thoughts..

It feels..just nothing but.. Awesome, simply awesome
Life feels alive in all such moments..
Enjoy the world around you..
