Toh aani Tee

भारतातले तो आणि ती 
तो करायचा नोकरी 
आणि घरात राबवायची ती 
त्याच्या मागे बाहेरचे व्याप 
आणि घरच्या उस्तवाऱ्या 
काढायची ती 
स्वयंपाक पाणी , 
घराची स्वच्छता, 
मुला-मोठ्यांचे आजार,
सण, पाहुणे 
मुलांचे अभ्यास 
परीक्षा आणि हट्ट 
सुट्टीची तयारी 
एवढी तिची कामं 
त्याला त्रास नको म्हणून 
हातात सारं आणून ठेवायची 
काही कमी पडलं 
तर वेळ मारून न्यायाची 
आता तीही बाहेर जाते 
नोकरी तीही करते 
घराचं अजूनही बघते 
आपल्यासाठीही जगते. 
त्याने थोडी मदत केली 
कि सगळे त्याचं केवढं कौतुक करतात!
आठवड्यातून एक दिवस 
चहा केला तर किती स्तुती करतात !
घरात बाहेर  सारं सांभाळून 
ती नेटनेटकी राहते 
मुलांच्या पीटीए ला फॉर्मल 
आणि दिवाळीला नववारी नेसते 
"फराळ विकतचा आणला" 
म्हणून असते कधी तक्रार 
तर " बाहेरच्या पुराणपोळीला हिच्या हाताची चव नाही"
म्हणून मिळते कधी प्रोत्साहन 
बाहेरच्या जगातल्या शर्यतीत 
बरीच बरोबरी गाठली आहे 
घरातल्या प्रवासात मात्र 
विसावा अजून दूरच आहे!

A lesson of a woman who is no one

 As a little girl, she always looked for a companion and safety in her family. She was very close to her mother and brother. They also loved her a lot and reciprocated all the feelings she showed. At times she got sad though because her mom seemed distant and busy in her own world. The girl understood that mom had her own problems to deal with and brother had to go his way to pursue his life's dreams and ambitions. The girl many times felt lonely, but she knew that she was loved by her family.  She soon found solace in friendship. She found many friends and a whole new world of opportunities to explore. As a teenager, she found her best friend. He was funny, always cared for her and loved her as if he was her brother. She felt happiness and a sense of belonging with him. They shared the deepest secrets, happiest moments and worst times together. She was surprised when he started feeling distant when he found his girlfriend. The teenager was happy for her friend but felt alone ...

Always Ask Questions

            I will always be grateful to my teacher For the advice that changed my life He told me to always ask questions for questions are rare and empty solutions are rife.   A question opens a door To limitless possibilities Possibility to understand and answer all the longings.   Without a question The teacher is not challenged Without a question A student will not be engaged   Asking a question Will resolve deep mysteries Who am I and what the world is about which has been existing since centuries.   What is my purpose Why do I exist The answer lies in a question If you really persist.   Try asking how I can help Instead of complaining To your surprise The answer might be fulfilling.   Do not forget to ask what the lesson is. When in a situation happy or sad An answer will teach a lesson The difficulties are not all bad.   Where is my attention? ...

And at the end I am yours

Where all the conflicts end And the duality dissolves  Where all the noise calms down The chaos rests in peace  At that serene place I am yours. All my demands sink  in the depth of your eyes All my complaints Disappear In the curves of your smile All my anxiety melts  In the embrace of your arms All my questions are silenced  When our lips are locked Good or bad  Nothing seems to matter Right or wrong  The questions do not bother Where my material identity ends It blends in yours At that beautiful place  I am all yours.
