सूर्य आज आला घेऊन प्रेमाचा तो दिवस खास

पत्र लिहायला घेतलं पुन्हा, पण मनाला आलं नाही रास

मनात माझ्या दुःखाचे पाणी भरत चालले

तुझ्यापासून दूर राहून मन उदास जाहले

तुझ्या माझ्या आठवणीने आली सागरास भरती

आपल्या खास क्षणांची लागली चाहुल मनाच्या किनाऱ्यावरती

बघता बघता दोन वर्षे ही सरली

तू तिथे आणि मी इथे, मग गोडी काय उरली

मनात माझ्या हे सारे येता, आलास पुन्हा तू

म्हणालास संपेल आता लवकरच सगळं काळजी नको करू

ऐकता हे शब्द तुझे, मनाला माझ्या पटले

तू तिथे आणि मी इथे, नाही आता उरले.

What if, if you were by my side?

What if, if you were there to wipe my tears when I cried?

What if, if I cooked for 2 instead of one?

What if, if my PhD was already done?

What if, if you got your dream job here?

What if, if I could right now nibble at your ear?

What if, if we both had our nest?

What if, if I had your shoulder for my head to rest?

What if, if you were the one I would open my eyes to?

What if, if I would fight with you and wait for my turn at the loo?

What if, if I never let you out of my sight?

What if, you kissed me good night every night?

What if, if I just sleep off right away?

Well, these questions will come again the next day!

From dinosaurs to whales

a place with so many tales

Butterflies, tigers and theTasmanian devil

Endangerment, the threatening evil

Sharks, squids and octopi, they give you a scare

Gemstones and diamonds the rarest of the rare

Aborginal- a rich culture that did not last

Massacred and burnt, Australia's dark past

When I wanted to go but things were slow

When I said, "Let me finish, that's my only wish!"

When I had no time to look at you, when I was my miserable most too

You were there by my side, all this while on that roller coaster ride..

Here I am today, and everything is so fast

I look around but nothing seems to last

I have time to sit, have time to stare

I search for you now, in despair

You are now gone, you aren't to be seen

I miss you so much, you were and will always be my queen...

जर सगळं बदललं, तुला हवं तसं झालं

बदलशील का तू?

नवीन असशील की आहेस तशीच राहशील

जर सगळं खरंच बदललं तर काय करशील

आयुष्य आज आहे त्यापेक्षा सुंदर असेल

कदाचित तुझी सर्व स्वप्ने खरी होतील

पण लोकांना तू ओळखु येशील?

जर सगळं खरंच बदललं तर काय करशील

नवीन आयुष्य वेगळंच असेल

त्यातील नियम आणि कायदा निराळा असेल

ह्या पसाऱ्यात स्वतःला सावरू शकशील?

जर सगळं खरंच बदललं तर काय करशील

जुन्या आठवणी, जुनी साथ, जुनी सर्व नाती

नवीन स्वप्नांच्या दुनियेत भरकटून तर नाही जातील

उद्याकडे झेप घेता तू हे सगळं भिरकावून तर नाही देशील?

जर सगळं खरंच बदललं तर काय करशील

दूर तुझे ध्येय गाठल्यावर मागे वळून पाहशील

तेव्हा दिसेल का गं तुला तुझा भूतकाळ

यशाच्या शिखरावर पोहोचल्यावर तू त्याला विसरून तर नाही जाशील?

जर सगळं खरंच बदललं तर काय करशील

खरंच काय करशील?

Every time I think of this, there comes a smile

To know that all of this has been there for a while.

We have always had so many stories to read

Mysteries, thrillers, novellas and many more that we absolutely need!

We have always had recipes to make

Cook, stew, sauté or bake!

We have always heard tales of adventurous trips

Seen many a times even their short clips.

We have always had long discussions around

Oh boy, on our point don’t we pound!

We have always had tons of movies to watch

With good company, popcorn and some butterscotch!

We have always had exciting scientific discoveries

Inspirational and etched in our memories.

We have always had many a journals and magazines

Something we do enjoy by all means!

But all of this my dear friends we know as it exists

If neither knew how to convey, all this would have been missed.

Languages help us communicate and aid us with speech and talk

They help shape our society and proudly make us walk!

There was once, a girl and a boy

Together they found immense joy

They got married and built a nest

Happiness all round,it was nothing but the best

One fine day as they stared at the clouds

She whispered in his ears, not so loud

He looked at her and said Whoopee

For those two were becoming three

Later they told their family and friends

Everyone smiled, their joy knew no end

Their loved ones then planned a baby shower

When we all joined at this lovely hour!!

25 August 2020 (Aditi-Vaibhav Baby Shower)

One fine evening, in the setting sun hues

I got a call, from dada and Preethi to break the news

They casually dropped in some hints for me to know

By the end of the call my face was beaming with a glow

I was thrilled and happy, my feet were dancing

My auntie squad was now expanding

With darling Siddhu and Sparky too

All we needed was a baby girl like you

I wondered whom you would resemble

Chandur-Joshi a perfect ensemble

I even planned to take you places

We’d invent silly sounds and crooked faces

Oh how I could now shop in pretty stores

We both would run through open doors

Your perfect face and lovely smile

Will make everyone around feel worthwhile

Then I thought of Dada and I

A rush of all happy memories passed by

A funny idea slowly crept in

I think I know this’ll be like twins

What twins now you would ask

Just a moment more while I unmask

As Sagar was for Anuja- a perfect brother

I could imagine Sid with you, an exact copy, just another!

तुझ्या माझ्यात होती एक अल्लड मैत्री...

एक निरागस स्वप्न !

एक झपाटणारे ध्येय !

एक हसवणारा विचार

कधी दुःखी अपयशाची वादळे तर कधी हिम्मत वाढवणारी किरणे

तुझ्या माझ्यात होता एक विश्वास, कधीही ना ढळणारा

एक नातं, तुज्या माझ्यात होतं प्रेम

तुझ्या माझ्यात होती काळजी

हवाहवासा वाटणारा तो सहवास

तीच ती चोरांची जागा आणि तोच तो मेन बिल्डिंग चा जिना

तुझ्या माझ्यात खरंतर होतं एक झाड

शांत, स्थीर, आपल्याला धरून ठेवणारं

यायचा तिथे एक पक्षी, सुंदर दिसणारा

झाडाची गोड फळे चाखून उडून जाणारा

तुलाही भेटला तो एक दिवस

दूरवरच्या देशाचा गोष्टी सांगू लागला

तुझी स्वप्न उंचावली आणि...

आणि गेलास तू ही उडून, त्या स्वप्नातल्या पक्षाबरोबर

राहिले मी इथेच...!

आज तुझ्या माझ्यात काय आहे, ह्याचा विचार केला

आज ही आहे ती मैत्री आणि ती स्वप्ने

ती झपाटणारी ध्येय आणि ते हसवणारे विचार

ती वादळे आणि ती किरणे

तो विस्वास आणि तेच प्रेम

तो हवासा वाटणारा सहवास, ती जागा आणि तो जिना

सर्व काही आहे,

पण तूच नाहीस..

दुःखी मनाने त्या झाडाखाली बसले

त्या पक्षाची आणि तुझी वाट पाहत

पाहता पाहता अचानक दिसले आणि मन आनंदून गेले

तू येणार ह्याची खात्री पटली

तू बांधलेले घरटे दिसले, अर्धवट झालेले...

पूर्ण करतेय आता, तुझ्या आणि माझ्यात मग काहीही नसेल ...

फक्त तू आणि मी ...!
