माझा मराठीत कविता करायचा पहिला प्रयत्न

प्रेम हे माझे...

येतेस तू दररोज माझ्या स्वप्नात,
सोबत असलेल्या क्षणांच्या रुपात.

काळजात माझ्या कोठेतरी बसली आहेस तू लपून ,
पण ठेवेन मी तुला माझ्या ह्रिदयात जपून.

झाहलो तुझ्या प्रेमात मी पूर्णपणे ओलाचिंब,
दिसते माझ्या ह्रिदयात चक्क तुझे प्रतिबिंब.

तुझ्या शिवाय दिसत नाही कोणी मला या पृथ्वीवर,
करेन मी नक्की तुझ्यावर प्रेम आयुष्यभर.

नकोस करू तू कोणती आता काळजी,
राहीन मी नेहमी तुझ्या पाठीशी.

एकच गोष्ट सांगू इच्छितो शेवटी मी तुला,
देऊ या एक नवीन वळण आपल्या मैत्रीच्या नात्याला.

My first hand at writing a movie review- "Dhobi Ghat"


Director: Kiran Rao

Cast:Prateik Babbar as Zoeb Sheikh aka Munna
Monica Dogra as Shai
Aamir Khan as Arun
Kritika Malhotra as Yasmin

Theme: The movie is just like a daily Mumbai magazine where you explore different shades and images of this mighty city as you turn the pages, some articles about the lives of people living in this city and the pictures of common man residing in the city. The portrayal of four people in those articles through their acting, the background score, the cinematography flips it into a movie. It covers lives of four people revolving around the soul of Mumbai.

Plot: The movie starts with Munna, a dhobi who watches television along with his pals and they giggle about his ambition ofbecoming a film actor. As a dhobi, he delivers clothes to Arun, a painter whos stays alone in his flat. Later is seen an art exhibition of Arun's paintings organized by his friend Vatsala, where he meets Shai, who is an investment banker from USA and is in Mumbai for pursuing her hobby of street photography. Arun and Shai share some time at exhibition and Shai ends up at Aruns place at night where they make out and she eventually falls for him. Since Arun is a loner and is not willing to get into any relationship, prefers to stay aloof from Shai. Arun shifts to a different house in Mohd Ali road and gives his new address to Munna. Shai, while recieving clothes from Munna happens to know about Arun and his new address.

Arun in the other house finds some video cassettes and other valuables of Yasmin, who happens to be the previous resident of the house. Arun develops curiousity about the video cassettes and the valuables. While watching those video cassettes, he comes to know these were meant to be the taped video messages for Imraan, bother of Yasmin, a muslim woman telling about herself, different places and people of Mumbai, her tensed relationship with her husband who is interested in some other woman. Arun develops interest in it and begins portraying her on a paper in the form of paintings.

Shai tries to befriend Munna, to know about Arun, who happens to be a divorcee and fathers a son. Munna tells Shai about his ambition and makes her click his photographs for portfolio and eventually falls for her. Later, Shai and Arun meet in Mohd. Ali Road and they end up having a coffee at his place when Munna arrives and watches them together. Munna comes to know about Shai's interest.

Now heres the climax. Arun while watching the last taped video message, comes to know that Yasmin is tired of her life and comes to conclusion that she committed suicide in this house, so he becomes erratic and promptly shifts to a new place. Munna shocked by his brother, Salims murder by some gang members, shifts to Jogeshwari. Shai is seen alone without Arun and Munna and waits at Dhobi Ghat, when one day she meets Munna, where she is handed over Arun's new address. Shai is seen with tears, leaving us in a confusion, whether she was interested in Arun or Munna. Arun is seen staring at his paintings depicting Yasmin in defferent shades and finally the movie ends with a Camera still of Mumbai city in day light, evening and night...

Drawbacks: The movie ends abruptly, leaving behind many questions. Monica Dogra looks good but falls short on acting. The Yasmin part feels stretched. The movie is different from mainstream cinema and not watchable for Masala movie loving Indian person. It is made for masses abroad who applaude artistic movies.

Why to watch? : The background score by Gustavo makes you flow into the movie. The cinematography clinches your eyes at every moment and direction by debutant Kiran Rao leaves you speechless.
Go for it, if you are an art movie lover nd love watching movies different from mainstream cinemas.

Post examination

Today finished with long lasting examinations. Now its time to gear up for some fun for at least 1 month. Will watch some pending movies, will invade some malls and hunt for some clothes, watch television, in short will do everything that would drain the stress, frustration, depression which I had during exams.
The exams were for almost 3 weeks, Gosh ! they were scary, I am tired of studying now and got lot of leisure time, so writing this shit. Will not even peek at those big fat books. Had to burn midnight lamps during the exams so never got to sleep. The morning used to start with that freaking alarm which used to obstrusively wake me up,
But now I am happy that I would satisfy my craving for sleep.
Today had some sleep after coming from college, chatted with friends on Facebook, tomorrow will meet some friends, would hang out with them, and lets see what comes in coming days, till then bye....

.......

I want to get out of here,
Somwhere far, Where,
No one could come near,
I could be all alone without any fear,
I could every moment relish and rejoice,
Oblivious of the sorrows and the demise;
Where can I get such divine place
On this sphere of sinful and disgrace ? :P

Over...

Today in the evening i went to have a walk,
To meet you and with you to have a pleasant talk.
But to my surprise I found you with some other guy
I saw, he touched you, he smelled you and kissed you dont know why.

I used to think about you,
I used to love you with my whole heart
but why on this fuckin earth you found me to break my heart
now dont come to me and give that shitty look
cuz on your face now I'll spit and puke.

With your filthy mouth now dont apologize,
Did you love me and care about me in disguise ?
I dont want you, get lost, you should have told me before,
I curse myself now cuz you and your beauty I used to adore.

This whole situation is now completely fucked up,
I have decided with you now I want to break up.
For sometime now I want to be a complete loner
cuz between you and me now everythin is over, baby its over, yeah its over....

Earthly Bastards...


I am feeling very lonely on this fucking earth,
I want to die and never again take birth.
Its very sad to be all alone,
When you have no one to call your own.

This world is so full of bitches,
Mean, rude, cunning, wicked and selfishes.
I feel like digging a big pit,
Dumping these SOBs who make me sick.

Sometimes for no reason I get pissed off,
But at times these bastards are whom I want to get rid of.
In a room, I want myself to lock up,
Cuz right now am literally fucked up.

God please give me strength to cope up with these asses,
Cuz I have to deal with 'em as the time passes.
But these craven rascals would always backstab,
So I always find a need to rehab.

I am now completely tired and exhausted,
Of this fucking world which seem to me completely devastated.
I have decided what I want to do with myself.
This knife will cut my wrist and I will take my last breath,
Want to desperately embrace cold death...
