मैत्रिण

"मित्र" अर्थ हरवून बसलेला हा शब्द आता स्वतः ही हरवू लागला आहे. तसेच "मैत्रीण" या शब्दातल्या गोडव्यासोबत तो शब्द ही विरत चालला आहे.
परवा एका मित्राशी बोलताना, नव्हे, चॅटींग करताना मी सहज म्हणून गेले 'मैत्रीणी साठी ईतकं ही करू शकत नाहीस का?'
तर उत्तर आल "मैत्रीण? फार दिवसांनी आला ग हा शब्द समोर. कसंतरीच झालं." यावर मी काय बोलावं ते सुचेना.

Bestie, bro, bff, dude हे असले शब्द ज्याला आपले वाटतात त्याला मैत्रीण यातला गोडवा अन जिव्हाळा नाही समजायचा म्हणून तो विषय सोडला.

पण मैत्रीण वाचून कसंतरी वाटणार्या त्याने आई वडीलांना "ही माझी जुनी मैत्रीण " म्हणून ओळख करून देताना हसूच आलं.

So I'll live.

Sometimes it feels like my world is falling apart and will collapse on me, crushing me with every breath I leave. So I try holding my breath hoping to hold onto life for a little longer. The world is already coming down.  Why don't I just give up the control knowing that giving up control does not necessarily mean I lose but, be free. Not of life but the responsibilities that life burdened me with.  I know I would still live on even after I die. My remains would still be there because somebody's new world would flourish on the ashes of mine.  So I'll live .  In the fragrance of a flower In a leaf's pale color In the whispers of breeze In a baby's sneeze I'll live  In a grain of sand In a farmer's rough hand Under a little dog's paw Who's digging with awe  I'll live.   In the laughter of a child In the tears of a bride In an athlete's smile Who just ran a mile  I'll live.   In an army ma

Old souls

Sitting at the far end of that cafe I glanced around finding nobody but the empty chairs. Twenty four chairs and twelve tables I counted. All empty. I found it funny how each table could only sit two people. Don't groups of friends visit cafes anymore or had this cafe become a spot for people like me? People like me, who sit alone at their favourite table sipping hot chocolate engrossed in a book. Who enjoy the peace and calm of being alone. Who want to shut out the world. Who want to write their thoughts out. Who want to enjoy their own company. Who don't feel at home in their own home. Who can't make friends because they're different. They're different for they enjoy one to one conversations. For they love to sit and talk for three hours straight. For they read as much as they can and discuss what they read later. For they love to recite poems and not filmy item numbers. For they love the soft instrumental music and not rock or pop or jazz. For the
