The whole problem with the world is that Fools and Fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and Wiser people so full of doubts!

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.

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

I had first published this blog on 27th March 2017. Since then some songs were taken down on YT. Now re-updating links in October 2025.     One song inspires many more This is a heartfelt reflection on the ripple effect of creativity. I have tried to explore, how a single song — its melody, mood, and meaning — can spark a cascade of poetic responses, each one echoing and transforming the original in deeply personal ways. This post celebrates the power of artistic dialogue, showing how inspiration flows across languages, cultures, and emotional landscapes. It’s a beautiful meditation on how one tune can awaken many others.   The notes of one song  Thadi Hawayein Lehra Ke Aaye from “ Naujawan  created in 1951 were tweaked by various music composers 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...
