Dombivli Fast Monologue

An excellent monologue from Madhav Apte who is anguished by the corruption and decrease in human values.

माती त्यावर शेणाने सारवून त्यावर रांगोळी काढायची. चित्र असं होतं. मग तिथे डांबर टाकून सूरू झाले हे सर्व. हव्यास ... हव्यास जडला सर्वांना अधिक जास्तीचा हव्यास. आंगण वावर पूरेना. मग नोकरी धंदे सूरू झाले. नोकरीत पगार पूरेना धंद्यात नफ़ा पूरेना. मग तो मिळवणं सूरू झालं. पगारवाढीसाठी संप .... दमदाट्या .... मोर्चे. नफ़ा वाढवण्यासाठी खोटेपणा, चिरिमिरी, चोरी ... शेवाळं वाढतच गेलं. दलदलीत फसत गेलं सालं. छान लिहायचो चित्र काढायचो पण मग पैसे हवेत. स्थिरता म्हणून बॅंकेत. B.Com पर्यन्त एवढा शिकलो एवढं वाचलं, पण पुढे काय तर Ledger भरा परिपत्रके लिहा. जेवढा न्हायलो आधी तेवढाच कोरडा होत गेलो. थेंब सुद्धा उरला नाही ओलाव्याचा दाखवायला सुद्धा. एका रेशेत उभे रहा, एका रेषेत लिहा, एका दमात पदवी मिळवा, एका वर्षात कायम व्हा एका इच्छेसाठी लग्न करा आणि ती दुहेरी करण्यासाठी मूलं जन्माला घाला. एकेक करून अनेक गोष्टी करा आणि एकदा मरा. म्हणजे एकाकडून एकीकडे एकटं यायचं एकटं जायचं आणि मधे हा साला जीवघेणा प्रवास. साला. अरे मग हा साला प्रवास सरळ नको का? आपल्या मनासारखा नको का? अरे ठरवलेलं ना सर्वांनी की नियम करायचे नियम पाळायचे मग मोडायची घाई का? सगळ्यांनी मिळून खायचं का सगळ्यांचं आपणच खायचं? ठरवा शिस्तं नको मग व्हा बेशिस्त व्हा. लाज सोडायची तर मग सगळ्यानी सोडा एकट्यानीच कशाला? एकट्यालाच कशाला ते ओझं?

जगू आणि जगू द्या हा नियम नको असेल तर मग सगळ्यांनी मिळून ठराव करा की मारू आणि मरू या. सगळ्यांना मरू. संपवून टाकू हे सगळं. आणि सांगू त्या विधात्याला नाही नाही आवडला तुझा खेळ नाही आवडला तुझा खेळ.

I the undersigned Madhav Apte making this declaration that due to my own philosophy I am not eligible to live on this planet. So please take away my services and I don’t expect any payments for this. I don’t. …. Infact would like to give all dues on my account if any. So please Lord, God I am enclosing my body with my soul in that with this declaration so please accept this and relieve me at the earliest. Please ….


हा चित्रपट आपल्याला प्रचंड अस्वस्थ करतो. गोष्टी रोजच्याच आहेत – शाळेच्या admission ची donation, दुकानदाराने वस्तू MRP ला न विकणे, पाण्याच्या tanker वाल्याची अरेरावी – ह्याच गोष्टी आपण अनुभवत असतो. हा चित्रपट थोडासा Michael Douglas च्या Falling Down सारखा आहे. The high spot of the movie is the monologue stated above and the last sentence that Madhav Apte says to the police inspector,” आयुष्य गेलं चवथ्या सीट्वर बसून. जरा खिडकीत बसू?”

Paradhin Aahe Jagati Putra Manavacha

पराधीन आहे जगतीं पुत्र मानवाचा People generally look at Ramayan from a religious point of view. I view Ramayan from a different perspective. Its about human tragedies of epic proportions. Its about the hardships a mature human endures.  This song is Ram's way of consoling and counselling his step brother who is angry at the craftiness of his own mother. He seeks forgivenes and asks Ram to return to Ayodhya and and not proceed to 14 years of exile. Every stanza of this long ten stanza song, brings forth a different truth (some may call it philosophy) of life. Like the first says "None to be blamed, all happens as a result of our past deeds and misdeeds". Yet another stanza says birth and death are those realities of life that no one can avoid. The next says "Death is the eternal truth ... all logic stops its door step". Its about a rightful heir to the throne having to leave the kingdom and make way for his youngest step brother to be the king. This is a force...

संदीप खरेच्या कविता

संदीप खरेच्या कविता ..... इतके दिवस मी फ़क्त ऐकले होते की संदीप खरेच्या कविता खूप छान असतात. इथे Calgary मधे weekends ला खूप वेळ मिळत असल्याने त्याच्या कवितांना Google केले। This guy writes good stuff. Actually it is Thanks to dear Sachin Kulkarni that I got to hear Sandeep Khare. The first poem that I heard was "अताशा असे हे मला काय होते ". This is a fantastic piece of retrospection. He has brought about the thoughts of everyone who has thought about his actions of the past. The sight of clouds fighting amongst each other to be the first to drench the earth it clouds our thoughts and finds a way out through the eyes. Absolutely stunning metaphor on the ironies and compulsions of life. Here are some of those that I could. I may have made mistakes in writing the exact words as the convertor that I used was actually an English to Hindi one! Just click on the images to make the poems more readable.

One song inspires many more

One song inspires many more The notes of one song created in 1951 were tweaked by various music directors to create their own version of the original song. Except for the Tamil version (which is similar note by note) others are “different” as they have been tweaked. They retain the original melody but are distinct in their own way. Listen carefully and you will notice that minor changes in notes and scale lead to sweet songs with the same underlying melody. It all started 1951 with Thadi Hawayein Lehra Ke Aaye from “ Naujawan ” sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Incidentally, this was the first song created by Sahir & S D Burman! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jbSep2GbhE Roshan (father of Rajesh & Rakesh Roshan) liked the tune immensely and used it to create Tera Dil Kaha Hai for “ Chandni Chowk ” in 1954 sung by Asha Bhosle and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri. Roshan had complimented SD on his original tune and asked his permission to recreate it in his own way. ...
