  • मराठी कविता: कमळाचे हे दव बिंदू असतीलही त्याचे अश्रू…..

    एक अचानक सुचलेली मराठी कविता …..   कमळाचे हे दव बिंदू असतीलही त्याचे अश्रू….. काटेरी दु:खाची रुपेरी किनार लक्ष वेधते साऱ्यांचे. फुलांना डोलाविण्याचे साऱ्यांना कृत्य दिसते वाऱ्याचे बाम्बुबनातील हुंकार हेच वाऱ्याचे अश्रू अन् कमळाचे हे दव बिंदू असतीलही त्याचे अश्रू…. झळाळणाऱ्या चंद्रालाही असतात विवर काळे अन् ती झळाळी झाकते त्याचे उमाळे क्षणोक्षणी तुटणारे तारे हेच…

  • Remembering Pt. Bhimsen Joshi

    It has been almost an year. I turn my bike to the way going to Kalashree, the residence of late Maestro, Pt. Bhimsen Joshi. I know, he is not there, but still I cannot resist. I used to take this road when he was living there. I myself cannot understand why I take that road…
