Daniel ki M4 motorway warun Heathrow vimantaala saathi exist ghetla. Lexus chya khidakit me baher chya nirniralya gadya baghat baslo hoto. Aaj sagala wegala watat hota, janu kahi pahilyaandach ashya gadya va loka baghayla milat ahet. Desha la jaychi oodh ankheen teevra zhali hoti. Aai, baba, natevaeek, mitra, maitrini, ghar, choti ka aso pan aapli swatchi Maruti 800 hi sagali jana waat baghat hoti.

Aai baba, kaka kaku ani bhavala aagaman lounge madhye baghun chan watala. Mumbai chya bhayanak traffic madhun ghari poochalo. Aai la sangitle ki varan bhaat karr. tithe aaplya sarakhi dal nahi milaychi.

27 June 2005

British Airways chi flight Mumbai la wele war poochali. Sakali uthalo tar aai-babanni sutti taakali hoti. Kashyasaathi tari avara-awar chalu hoti.

"Kapade ahet ka kahi changale? Ka sagalech dhuaayche ahet?" aai ni vicharla

"Kahi changale shirts and trousers istri kelele ahet, pan ka? Kuthe jayche ahe?" me mhanalo

"Joshi yenaar ahet Daund warun sandhyakali. Tu shave suddha karr baraka aaj" baba mhanale.

"Joshi yenaar ahet tar me ka shave karu? Ani parvach keli hoti, aaj parat ka" me zhopet hoto and mala kahi nistarat navhta.

"Arre gadhava, te tyaanchya muli barobar yenaar ahet. Dakhavnyacha karyakram ahe aaj" aai chidli

"Tumhi mazha naav nondavla? Ani aaj kay mhantat tyala ... haan kaanda pohe session ahe mazha. Ani he tumhi mala atta sangtay? Me kiti lahaan ahe, fakta 25 varshacha" me akshep vyakta karnyacha ek mafak prayatna kela

"He agdi barobar vaay ahe lagna saathi. Baghta baghta ek varsha jaeel. Aaj mulgi baghitlis ki udya lagna asa nahi hot manya" Baba mala patavaycha asel ki manu ani manya mhantat.

"Arre yhanna mulgi asti na, tar ekveesavvya varshich lagna laun taakla asta teecha." aai mhanali

"Bagh, mhanje tula patatay na."

"Aga tu phate phodu nakos."

"Ho pan baba mhanat ahet te hi barobar ahe. Tu ekada baher gelas ki saha saha mahine yet nahis. Atta pasun suruvat keleli bari"

"Theek ahe. Tumhi mhanta tar chalu karuyat. Yaanda kartavvya ahe ....."

Pahile Mulgi ... Pahile Kaanda Pohe

Sandhyakali saha chya sumaraas, Joshi tyaanchya bayko wa suputri barobar avtarrle. Laambachya pravasacha thakava tighaachya hi cheherya war disat hota. Aai babaanni tyaanna basavile wa paani dile. Te settle zhalya nantar tyanchya va aai babaanchya gappa chalu zhalya. Pravas kasa zhala, gadi welewar poochali na, ghar shodhatana traas zhala ka ityadi prashna-uttaraanchi devan ghevan zhali.

Me aapla tichya 'bang opposite" basun manachya chanchaltela cheheryawar yenya pasun thambavat hoto. Ata tichya kade baghayche ka nahi. Baghitle tar kiti wel tila 'sample' karta yeil jyani karun tiche palak offend nahi honaar. Sade char second chya nazaret me ticha lal color cha punjabi dress, silver color che nail polish, kajal lavalele dole, red color chich lipstick, tikli na aselela mastak baghitla. Ek vichar manatun sagalya haasya nasaanna sanket deun gela ... "Baazigar madhalya Shilpa Shetty la jar gori keli, kivva Karan Arjun madhalya Kajol la gori va kami jaad keli tar hichya sarkhya disteel" .... ani mazhya cheherya war smeeta haasya ale.

Na jaano ka, pan babaana na watale ki me tyanna signal deto ahe. Patkan mhanale "Tumhala doghanna bolayche asel tar mag tumhi khali jaun ek chakkar marun ya." Tun karun ti uthali ani darvajya pashi jaun sandal ghalu lagali. Amhi khali utarlo va colony chya zhopalya war jaun basalo. Ayushyaat la pahila kaanda pohe session ani me muli barobar zhopalyawar .... Kay romantic nasheeb hota mazha. Pan far wel kahi te tikla nahi ....

Pahilach kaanda pohe session aslya mule, muli shi exactly kay va kasa bolaycha he mala mahiti navhta. Mhanun mazhya maitrinin shi jasa gappa marto tasa tichyashi bolayla lagalo. Punya nagareet jaana yena hota ka, ithe alya nantar kasa watata, naveen kuthala picture baghitla, avadi nivadi kay, vachan kivva sangeetachi avad ahe ka, firayla jayla avadta ka ashya "to start a dialogue" prashnnanna 'han ani aahaan' uttara milali. Ekdum viz gelya nantar apan andharrat battery jashi chachpadto, tasaa me vishay shodhayla lagalo. Kahi vela chya shaantate nantar, kuthalach dusara vishay na milalya mule me anu-prashna chya upayog karayche tharavile. Anu bomb phutlya nantar jashi waat lagte, tasa anu-prashna vicharla ki samor chi vyakti kavari bawari hote asa mala mazhya kahi vivaheet mitra-mitraanni sangitla hota.

"TUZHYA APEKSHA KAY AHET HONARYA NAVARYA KADUN?"
"Changala hava to. Mhanje asa settled ... hmmmm"
"Settled mhanje nakki kay? Ani changala have mhanje?"
"Changala mhanje chan asava to"
"Barr ani settled in the sense?", changalya yha shabda cha vistaar aikun mala settled chi paribhasha aaiikaychich hoti
"Settled mhanje changala job hava, swatacha ghar hava, gadi havi"
"Swatacha ghar ... mhanje bhadya cha nako. Aai babaancha swatacha asla tar chalel na?"
"Aahaan, swatacha mhanje tyachya swatacha hava."
"Hmmm, mag 1 BHK asla tari chalel na"
"Nahi"
"Mag .... 2BHK?"
"Aahaan"
"3BHK?????!?!?!?", anu-prashna cha anu-uttar aaikun me garathnaar hoto ...
"Ho"

Tya 3BHK cha hokaar aikun me, gadi, hi Maruti 800 chalel na, ha prashna, prashnavalitun galun taakla. Tine kahi mazhya apeksha vicharlya nahit. Kahi wela nantar daasaanchi sakal zhali ani amhi warti gelo. Tichya babaanni mala ek don prashna vicharle va tyaani amcha nirop ghetla.

Ratri jeevan zhalya nantar shatapavle ghalayla me khali utarlo. Dokyat ekach vicharchakra chalu hote. Swatacha ghar asana hi apeksha kahi astronomical nahiye. Pan sadhyachya flats che per square feet rate kay ahet, housing loan che rates kay ahet, mula che vay kay ityadi goshteencha hi vichar karna avashyak ahe. Dusarya kadun apeksha kartana, pahile apan swataha kiti kartrutvavaan ahot yhachi noond fakta mulaaneech ghaychi ka? Vastusthiteet jari mazhe swatache ghar asle, tari tine mala yha karna mule ho mhanane mala yogya watat navhte.

Aso .... phailyach kaanda pohe session nantar itka vichar tar pudhe kay, ha naveen prashna gheun bakichi pannas paule sampavli va ghari yeun zhoplo. Milind Ingle chya Garava album madhala gaana aathavla ....

Pahila paus ... pahili aathavan
Phaila gharta .... phaila aangan ....

Ohatichya Kathawar

Ha chapter pustakachya shevati kadhitari ahe. Pan na janu ka, aaj manaat hi kavita baandhali geli. Suruvaat 'Saanz Garava' chi ahe ....

Sandhyakal zhali ki maza asa hota
Tuzhi aathavan daatun yete ani mann pisa hota

Maansaat asunahi me agadi ekata asto
Alava varcha themb jasa tyawar basun wegala asto
Mala vyakulalela pahun surya kshanbhar rengalato
Indradhanu hoto ani saat raangaat baharto

Ekaaiki darvaal uthato, ratrani yete pholun
Tu ata yete ahes, yhachi mala patate khun
Paainjanaanchi cham cham ani kana mage tuzhe shwaas
Chohikade bharun jatat gham ghamnare tuzhe bhaas

Kharaach ....
Sandhyakal zhali ki maza asa hota
Tuzhi aathavan daatun yete ani mann pisa hota

Asyaach eka sandhyakali, me ekatach rastyashi bolat basto
Hiravya raangashi naata jodatana, kinchitsa bheejat asto

Hirvya davaat asto, kinchitsa ole pana
Antarichya virahe dushkali, kinchitsa korde pana

Tuzhya aatavaneenchya dhaara ultya chatrit zhelat asto
Asyaach eka sandhyakali, me ekatach rastyashi bolat basto

Aajachi sandhyakal wegali hoti ... bharati chya weles ohati hoti
Me chandra la vichaarle 'kuna varcha raag vyakta karto ahes?'
To mhane 'Mitra tuzhya niraash manachi sthiti jagala dakhavto ahe'

Ata chohikade andhaar ahe, mazhe dole ahet samudrawar
Tuzhya premaas aatur asa me .... Yha Ohatichya Kathawar ....
