Missing U Michael...

Yesterday Morning...I just switched on TV, so as to check the news & I saw Michael Jackson Dancing on News Channels, then I saw down it was saying..."The Legend Has Passed Away". For one moment, I shocked & could not believed that it is true..I switched on another channel, same news there also...and It was very hard but true to believe that the Pop King is no more with us.. I was awaiting for his london's show & suddenly this news stunned me...It was really very sad that the world has missed one great entertainer & we can only pray that his soul may find peace..

Missing U Michael....

काही माणसे असतात खास,,,

काही माणसे असतात ख़ास
जी मैत्रीने खांद्यावर हात टाकतात,
दुःख आले जिवनात तरीही
कायम साथ देत राहातात।

काही माणसं मात्र
म्रुगजलाप्रमाने भासतात,
जेवढे जवळ जावे त्यांच्या
तेवढेच लांब पळत जातात।

काही माणसे ही गजबजलेल्या
शहरासारखी असतात,
गरज काही पडली तरच
आपला विचार करतात,
बाकीच्या वेळी ति सारी नाती विसरतात
काही हवे असेल स्वतःला
तर तुम्हाला मित्र मित्र करतात।

मात्र काही माणसं ही
पिंपळाच्या पानासारखी असतात,
जाळी झाली त्यांची तरी मनाच्यापुस्तकात
आयुष्यभर जपून ठेवाविशी वाटतात।

अजुन तीच मन काही.........वळलं नाही......!

अजुन तिचं मन काही.........वळलं नाही......!
काल तिच्या सोबत चालत होतो...
चालता चालता बोलत होतो...
बोलता बोलता रस्ता कधी संपला कळलं नाही...
अजुन तीच मन काही.........वळलं नाही......!

नविन बुटामुले पाय दुखत होता...
चालता चालता हाडाला खुपत होता...
तिच्या आनंदात पायाच दुःखण कळलं नाही...
अजुन तिचं मन काही.........वळलं नाही......!

काल खुप खुश होती.......म्हणाली मजा आली
आज का तू थाम्बलास.......माझ्यासाठी...
का थाम्बलो...... तिला काय हे कळलं नाही...?
अजुन तिचं मन काही.........वळलं नाही......!

होटेलात गेलो.......खुप खल्ल
उशीर झाला तिला......पण वेळ कसा गेला नाही कळलं
का तिने इतका वेळ घालवला.......तिला काय हे कळलं नाही...?

अजुन तिचं मन काही.........वळलं नाही......!

मग असेच चालत राहिलो रस्त्यावर........
घर तिचे जवळ येउच नये असे वाटत राहिले.....
बसस्टॉप येताच मी थाम्ब्लो
तेंव्हा डोळ्यांत तिच्या मी......आनंदाचे क्षण पाहिले

काही क्षण स्तब्ध झालो.......आम्ही
एकमेकांना टाटा.......बाय नाही म्हणालो
कोणास ठाउक........का ते कळलं नाही...?
अजुन तिचं मन काही.........वळलं नाही......!

Socrates and Gossip

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for
his wisdom.

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up
to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just
heard about one of your students?"

Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you
to pass a little test.It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my
student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The
first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you
are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true
or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is
what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about
him, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though,because
there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you
want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really..."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither
True nor Good nor even Useful,! why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in
such high esteem.

Amazing Boss..

Scientists at the Rocket launching station in Thumba, were in the habit
of working for nearly 12 to
18 hours a day. There were about Seventy such scientists working on a
project. All the scientists were really frustrated due to the pressure
of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and
did not think of quitting the job.

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have
promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on
in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.

His boss replied - O K, , You are permitted to leave the office early
today.

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As
usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when
he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 p.m

Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He
looked for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the morning
itself, he closed everything and left for home.

Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his
children.

He reached home. Children were not there.His wife alone was sitting in
the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any talk
would boomerang on him.

His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight
away serve dinner if you are hungry.

The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, i too will have but
what about Children???

Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and has
taken the children to the exhibition.

What had really happened was

The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriously
at 5.00 p.m. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work,
but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to
exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition

The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyalty
is established.

That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their
boss eventhough the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was????????


He was the president of India Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam.

Change your attitude..

Amazing Story on how your attitude can change with 1 incident
==========================================

Imagine you are at an Airport. While you're waiting for your flight, you notice a kiosk selling cookies. You buy a box, put them in your traveling bag and then you patiently search for an available seat so you can sit down and enjoy your cookies. Finally, you find a seat next to a gentleman. 

You reach down into your traveling bag and pull out your box of cookies.As you do so, you notice that the gentleman starts watching you intensely. He stares as you open the box and his eyes follow your hand as you pick up the cookie and bring it to your mouth. Just then he reaches over and takes one of your cookies from the box, and eats it! You're more than a little surprised at this. Actually, you're at a loss for words. Not only does he take one cookie, but also he alternates with you. For every one cookie you take, he takes one. 

Now, what's your immediate impression of this guy? Crazy? Greedy?He's got some nerve? Can you imagine the words you might use to describe this man to your associates back at the office? Meanwhile, you both continue eating the cookies until there's just one left. To your surprise, the man reaches over and takes it. But then he does something une xpected. He breaks it in half, and gives half to you. After he's finished with his half he gets up, and without a word, he leaves. 

You think to yourself, "Did this really happen?" You're left sitting there dumbfounded and still hungry. So you go back to the kiosk and buy another box of cookies. You then return to your seat and begin opening your new box of cookies when you glance down into your traveling bag. Sitting there in your bag is your original box of cookies - still unopened. 

Only then do you realize that when you reached down earlier, you had reached into the other man's bag, and grabbed his box of cookies by mistake. Now what do you think of the man? Generous? Tolerant? You've just experienced a profound paradigm shift. You're seeing things from a new point of view. Is it time to change your point of view?

या वर्षी प्रथमच मतदान केल, फार बर वाटल, आपण काहीतरी सहभाग केल्याच समाधान वाटल,

Amrutvela

कधीतरी वाटतं कुणीतरी सोबत असावं.......

कधीतरी वाटतं कुणीतरी सोबत असावं
माझ्याच विचारांनी दिवसाची सुरवात करणारं,
कधीतरी वाटतं कुणीतरी सोबत असावं

होता विरह थोडातरी काळजी घे स्वतःची म्हणणारं
हे सारं बोलताना नकळतपणे दोन आसु गाळणारं
कुणीतरी असावं माझ्या परतीच्या वाटेवर डोळे लावुन बसणारं

काहीही झालंतरी माझा फोन कट न करणारं
आणि बोलणे कुणालाही समजणारही नाही इतक्या सहजतेने बोलणारं
कुणीतरी असावं अश्या माझ्याशी तासंतास गप्पा मारणारं

दिवसभरं माझ्या फोनची आतुरतेने वाट पाहणारं
फोन आल्यावर माझ्यावरं लटके लटके रागवणारं
कुणीतरी असावं मी समजावल्यावर मात्र नचुकता सॉरी म्हणणारं

सुट्टीच्या दिवशी भेटायला यायला सांगणारं
थोडासा तरी उशीर झाला येण्यासाठी तर येरझारया घालणारं
कुणीतरी असावं सोबत आतुरतेने माझी वाटं पाहणारं

माझ्या डोळ्यांतील भाव बोलले नाही तरी जाणणारं
एखाध्या नाजुक भावक्षणी डोळ्यातुन पाणी गाळणारं ...

..............पण ती मजा काही वेगळीच होती

बघता बघता कॉलेज कधी
संपले काही कळलेच नाही......
नंतर ऑफ़िस लाईफ़ही सुरु झाले

पॉकेटमनी चे रुपांतर पगारात झाले
पण कॉलेजसाठी मिळणाऱ्या त्या ३००
रुपयांची मजा काही वेगळीच होती

ऑफ़ीसमधे जरी स्वत:चे separate
workstation असले तरी
कॉलेजमधल्या bench ची
मजा काही वेगळीच होती

रोजच ऑफ़ीसच्या canteen मधे जातो
पण कॉलेजच्या canteen ची
मजा काही वेगळीच होती

रोजच ऑफ़ीसमधे कॉफ़ी पीतो
पण college canteen मधल्या
त्या cutting ची मजा
काही वेगळीच होती

रोजच ऑफ़ीसमधे येउन login
करतो, पण कॉलेजमधल्या
proxy ची मजा
काही वेगळीच होती

रोज अनेक चेहरे दिसतात
पण कॉलेजमधल्या त्या
चेहऱ्याकडे बघायची
मजा काही वेगळीच होती

हे सर्व आठवल्यावर वाटते
अश्या त्या कॉलेज लाईफ़ची
मजाच काही वेगळीच होती..............

Never Give Up..

तू नसताना

तू नसताना मनात येते असेच काही, असेच काही 
आठवणींचे फूलपाखरू शुभ्र धुक्यातुन विहरत जाई 

तू नसताना रोजचाच हा चंद्र भासतो कसा कळाहीन 
उदास दिसती सर्व चांदण्या रिते भासते पुरे नभांगण 

तू नसताना अवतीभवती तुझेच केवळ तुझेच भास 
अणुरेणुतुन फिरतो आहे तुझाच आणि तुझाच श्वास 

तू नसताना झोपही माझी वैरीण होऊन जागतसे 
रात्र लोटते मंदगतीने दिवस उसासे टाकतसे 

तू नसताना घासही माझ्या कंठाखाली उतरेना 
तू नसताना तुझी आठवण विसरू म्हणता विसरेना 

तू नसताना तुझ्यावाचुनि कुठवर आता तगायचे 
हृदय राहिले तुझ्याकडे, मी कसे त्याविना जगायचे 

तुझ्यावाचुनि माझी हालत कळली जर का तुला प्रिये 
रुढीरितींचे बंधन तोडुन माझ्यासाठी धावत ये.

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस 

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस... 
नदीचा काठ चमचमतं पात्र 
उतरता घाट मोहरती गात्रं 

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस... 
कलंडता सूर्य लवंडती सांज 
पक्ष्यांच्या माळा किणकिणती झांज 

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस... 
सोनेरी उन्हं वार्‍याची धून 
पावलांची चाहूल ओळखीची खूण 

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस... 
दिलेला शब्द ओझरता स्पर्श 
दडलेलं प्रेम ओसंडता हर्ष 

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस.... 
हातात हात अन तुझं माझं हितगुज 
आंब्याच्या झाडावर पाखरांची कुजबुज 

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस... 
भिजलेले डोळे विरलेली स्वप्नं 
थिजलेली वाट उरलेले प्रश्न 

तू विसरू शकणार नाहीस 
... अन मीही विसरू शकणार नाही.

कणा

ओलखलत का सर मला ?
पावसात आला कोणी ? कपडे होते कर्दमलेले, केसावरती पानी !
क्षणभर बसला, नंतर हसला,बोलला वरती पाहून 
गंगामाई पाहुनी आली गेली घरट्यात राहून,
माहेरवशिन पोरी सारखी चार भिंतीत नाचली ,
मोकल्या हाती जाइल कशी बायको मात्र वाचली,
भिंत खचली, चुल विझली, होते नव्हते गेले,
प्रसाद म्हणुन पापण्या मधे पानी थोड़े ठेवले ,
कारभारनिला घेउन संगे आता लढतो आहे 
पडकी भिंत बांधतो आहे, चिखल गाळ काढतो आहे,
खिशाकडे हात जाताच हसत हसत उठला,
पैसे नको सर जरा एकटेपना वाटला
 मोडून पडला संसार जरी मोडला नाही कणा


 पाठीवरती हात ठेउन नुसते लढ म्हना !
