काल नीता आणि तिच्या मैत्रिणी, महाराष्ट्र मंडळातर्फे आयोजित, मनस्ताप निवारण व्याख्यान ऎकायला गेल्या होत्या. व्याख्यानाची वेळ ७ ते ९ अशी होती. फलस्वरुप, वैदेह आणि अथर्व दोघे संध्याकाळी माझ्यासोबत होते. अथर्वचे बाबा कार्यालयातुन परत येण्यास दोन तास अवधी होता. या दोघांना “रोबो डिफ़ेन्स” खेळाचे धडाम-धुडुम आवाज ऎकवुन जवळ-जवळ ३० मिनिटे घालवली. तो पर्यंत दोघेही विमान उडवण्याच्या इच्छेने प्रेरित झाले होते. एकीकडे माझे जेवण मी उरकुन घेतले, रात्रीचे ७:३० (:-). दोघांना भुक लागली नसल्या कारणने, मात्र एक-दोन बिस्कीटे खायला घातली. तेवढ्यात श्लोक म्हणण्याची कल्पना वैदेह आणि अथर्व, दोघांना पसंत पडली. एका मागुन एक दोघे श्लोक म्हणु लागले. याची परिणिती खालील चलचित्रात झाली.
पुढे खाली जाउन विमाने उडवण्याचा खेळ जवळ-जवळ एक तास रंगला. मग सुमारे ८:४५ वाजता अथर्वचे बाबा आल्यावर दोघे आपापल्या घरी गेले. आणि माझ्या अजुन एक रंगतदार दिवसाची पुर्ति झाली.
“Marathi Ase Amuchi MAyboli…”
“मराठी असे अामुची माय बोली…”
Ever since “ज्ञानेश्वर माउली” “Dnyaneshwar Mauli” proclaimed richness of Marathi language in the 12th century over the prevalent Sanskrit lanugage there has been huge support and acceptance all over Maharashtra and neighbouring areas for Marathi language. Today’s new Marathi generation is gone to places where Marathi has never been before.
We do not hear Marathi in daily business / commercial use outside Bharat, yet the new (12+) and newer(5+) generations who use Marathi at their homes are thrilled to hear use of Marathi in public places, going over trains, shopping malls. There is an exchange of smiles and possibly a short conversation and always link for closeness is established to the fellows who speak the same at their homes, when they meet each other.
Its a pleasure to share this video showing Jai-Jaikar of Maharashtra and young blood dancing to tunes of Maharashtra Majza.
This is yet anther fantastic performance by these gorgeous ladies from Choa Chu Kang Community at Singapore. I have seen progress everyday. The steps and the formations. More than two months of effort has gone into this 4-5 minute dance. I remember hearing Neeta over phone to fix up the last week of shopping for the dresses and ornaments… that created a lot of excitment
But its all is counted in as the crowd goes crazy and asks for ONCE MORE….
Vaideha Sathe wins Hindi elocution competition at Yuvabharati School.
Subject:
“हम है तारे ज़मीं के” or “Hum hai Tare Jameen ke…”
Here goes the script in Hindi:
अादरणीय गुरुजन अौर मेरे प्यारे दोस्तों नमस्कार। अाज़ मैं बहुत खुश हुं कि मुझे मेरे विचार अापके सामने प्रकट करने का मौका दुबारा मिला है।
अाज़ का विषय भी बडा निराला है “हम है तारे ज़मीं के” … क्या तारे भी ज़मीं पर अा सकते है? अंधेरी रात मे दुर अासमान मे टिम-टिम करते तारे कितने लुभावने लगते है! क्या मैं इन तारो के साथ भी कभी खेल सकता हुं? ये सोचते हि मुझे याद अाते है मेरे दोस्त।
हर शाम मैं अौर मेरे खेल के मैदान पार हसी खुशी से खेलते है। पुरा माहौल हमारी हसी खूशी से गुज़ जाता है। तभी मेरी मां कि चेहेरे पर झलकती खुशी देख कर मै यकिन के साथ कह सकता हुं कि “हां, हम हि है तारे ज़मीं के”
Transliteration:
Adaraniya Gurujan aur mere pyare doston namashkar. Aaj mai bahut khush hun ki mujhe mere vichar aapke samne pragat karne ka mauka dubara mila hai.
Aaj ka vishay bhi bada nirala hai. Hum hai Tare Jameen ke… Kya tare bhi jameen pe aa sakte hai? Andheri rat mai door aasmana mai tim tim karte tara kitane lubhavane lagate hai! kya mai in taron ke sath bhi kabhi khel sakata hun? ye shoch te hi mujhe yaad aate hai mere dost.
Har sham, mai aur mere dost khel ke maidan par hasi khushi se khel te hai. Poora mahol hamari hasi khushi se gunj jata hai. Tabhi meri maa ki chehare par jhalati hui khushi dekh kar mai yakin ke sath keh sakata hum ki han Hum hi hai Tare Jameen ke!
Thank to Yuvabharati School for sharing this photo of the competition with parents.
Since last two three months, starting from November 2009, I am hooked on to going to VSS shakha regularly. After three four months now I have realized that I have missed less than 3 Sundays of shakha other than when I was on vacation in Thane. Now looking at this undeclared behavior pattern, why I am going so regularly to shakha? one thought comes to mind that is the young friends I have made since November. They all come to shakha before I reach and wait for me to begin the games. I have started liking the game session that we play. Initially we playedjust warm up games like Om chanting in one breath followed by one boy doing kabaddi service while others catch. Now a days playing kabaddi is a become the center point of our games session. But now a days I felt we are too focused on just one game. Hence we played football last time. And to my surprise, I was beaten by those young boys most of them age less than 10 years, at least a couple of times. I must say they are really good players full of nascent talent & potential. I am going to focus on how to cultivate more team games in them and bring out best within them.
दिनांक ८ नोवेंबर, २००८, आज मी असे काही केले की जे करताना मला, कुमारभारती, १० च्या “स्वानंद” धड्याचा अनुभव आला.
स्वतःच्या हाताने काहि तरी तयार करुन ते आपल्या मुलाला खेळायला देणे…
