The One Where Everyone Forgot Siddhesh

No this is not an episode from FRIENDS, it is a real life incident which happened during my Konkan trip. We had gone to Sagareshwar on the third day of the trip. It is one of the wonderful beaches in Maharashtra. We had lot of fun there. Especially the time when we tried to take the pictures while jumping in the air. The below pic should give you an idea -

Jumping Japang!!!
After all the jumping japang, we decided to walk back to home. When we reached the Vengurla market, the elders were busy with shopping so we stopped near a temple. As I was having troubles with my allergy for past few days, I decided to buy the medicine from the medical store near the temple. I told Aditya that I was going to the chemist behind the temple and left. It was a bit crowded at the chemist, so the owner of the medical store asked his assistant to search my medicine. Unfortunately, even after several attempts he could not find the medicine. Meanwhile, when I looked back towards the temple I couldn't see my friends. I thought that may be they weren't sitting in my line of sight, so I couldn't see them. Once rest of the customers were gone, the owner himself started searching the medicine. Now, after 15 minutes since I came to the chemist, I got a call from Viraj. He asked me where I was. I told him that I was at the medical store, near the temple. He told me that they had gone ahead thinking that I was with Susmit's parents whereas the elders were under the impression that I was with my friends. Only when everyone met at a corner did they realize that I was missing. After collecting the medicine and few more calls I finally met Viraj, Aditya and others. 

Honestly, even after a month, I still can not believe they left me like that :0 How can you do that guys!

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

My Favorite Song

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list

शायरी

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................
