सहज सख्या एकटाच येई सांजवेळी....


निवळशंख लाटांच्या खळखळाटात वाहून गेलेला किनारा शोधत उगाचच फेसाळलेल्या दर्याकडे निरखून पाहत राहिलो मी. आणी तू मात्र कधीच निघून गेली होतीस दुसर्याच कुठल्यातरी लाटेवर स्वार होऊन असे कित्येक प्रदेश पादाक्रांत करत...
शुभ्रस्फटिक अभ्रातून तू एकदाच गीरीशिखारावर रेंगाळलीस  तीही क्षणभर, पण त्या डोंगरावर उगवलेल्या प्रत्येक गवताच्या लवेत तुझ्या स्पर्शाचा भास आहेच...
अलगद काहीतरी गुणगुणत कोकिळेशी हितगुज केलस तू कधीतरी, पण आता पावसाच्या धारांनाच तुझ्या आवाजाची  ओढ लागल्ये चातकासारखी ...
मग जर आज अश्या ह्या सांजवेळी, चुकून शीळ निघाली ओठावरून आणी ती तुझ्या ओठांनाच सांगावीशी वाटली थेट, तर त्यात काय चुकलं माझं.
मग येशील न तू,
दूरवर कुठेतरी radio वर बोल ऐकू येताहेत
सहज सख्या एकटाच येई सांजवेळी....

My dil goes mmm


can't stop noticing the smile in the innocence and the in laughter simplicity. Not senses only my but active listening my skills passive numb also becomes.......

see,
what I mean is.....Not only my senses but my active listening skills also become numb and passive. Was talking to someone and you appeared out of nowhere, took me 3 seconds to realize that the one I was talking to is anticipating some words to be blabbered out of my mouth since I have stopped mid sentence and am staring hopelessly at you. Was so embarrassing. So whats next?

How to stop this helplessness? I really don't know. May be I should spend more time with you. that is something I can't manage given my current commitment to my work.
Don't be so naive, is your work that important? it's just a job dammit......
but I have responsibilities, clients to attend to, projects to complete......
yea, you are the only one who has all this......
Don't be so childish, not is college anymore......

And there starts my internal fight with my other mind.

one thing is sure, I have this restlessness inside me that has come back after a really long time. Something needs to be done. It took me 3 days to get back at being regular boring myself after half a week of indulgence. and m thinking about lifetime.......only those addictions which do not harm your body and are affordable forever should be administered.......is this one of them?

Don't know what to write........which is a hard thing for me....I never write if I am not sure, if it's going to read good.

time to wind up before I spill more beans.....
P.S: the smile is awesome :)

Barter System to Capitalism

Was getting done a shave at my barber, he was a bit rough around the edges, was half occupied in the TV Serial and half in the discussion about a Bandh following the death of some local politician. He almost applied some shaving cream on my lips and I was about to shout at him when he turned around and realized what he had done. Took the cloth nearby and quickly wiped off the cream off, smiled at me sheepishly and mumbled a week sorry. It got me thinking 'what is it that I have that makes me bigger than him?' It was hardly a mistake, and I was almost fuming at him, just because I was going to pay him? but what about the service he was giving to me? It's not like I am paying him for nothing, it's a perfect exchange of Money against Service for which the rate of exchange is been mutually agreed and accepted. Then why do I feel like being superior, Why should I be given the upper edge always?

If you remember the barter system, it was goods against goods or services or any combination of these 2. and the people exchanging these could never treat each other superior or inferior just because of the Good/Service they are catering. i.e. A farmer would always be superior to a milkman...Because he is exchanging a superior product.....Or a fisherman will always be superior to a Shoe seller.....not because of his caste but due to the product.....and if I am not mistaken with money replacing all goods and commodities in these exchange transactions, it should ideally be equivalent to these goods and hence the value of it should be exactly equal to the amount of goods/services you can buy with it. So if I can buy four mangoes with rs. 500 (I am talking about very high quality Hapoos mangoes here :) ) then the bearer of 500 and Hapoos should be equal and be grateful to each other for the transaction. Then why does the counterpart with Money  always becomes the Customer and the other Vendor?

Something to do with the concept of Barter and Capitalism. though they go hand in hand as long as the definitions are considered. Coz both believe in Voluntary exchange of goods/service or Money. To bring more practicality and overcome the shortcomings of Barter, money was introduced. It represented Value and became very standard among transactions. But it did not remain as just a substitute for value exchange, it gained it's own place in the economy and people's lives. It became the very source of Power and started to shake the very empires that invented it and the rest is history as they say.

My Take: It's still barter that you are doing when you are getting a service or buying a product. The benefit is mutual and so should be your behaviour with the vendor. If he/she is polite to you, you can at least try not to be rude. So next time you go shopping Barter, don't Banter :)

Bad Friendship day Treat

The day was awe-full. People made fun of him, he is fine with few jokes and laughs from dear ones, but this was different....some of them were desperately passing on comments to seek revenge. That too for some work related issues. It was a fake smile he was wearing just to make sure the mood is not spoiled and the one pulling his leg should not feel succeeded.
Hell of a friendship day treat.
