चार 'बाप' गोष्टी

Father's Day ला Father नी सांगितलेल्या किंवा Father बद्दल काहीतरी लिहिणं mandatory आहे . आज Father's Day निमित्त मी सांगणार  आहे अशा चार 'बाप' गोष्टी ज्या माझे बाबा मला नेहमी सांगत आले आहेत . त्यांना आश्चर्याचा धक्का बसेल कि माझ्या ह्या गोष्टी फक्त लक्षात नसून... मी त्या कधी कधी आचरणातही आणल्या आहेत.

१. कपडे, दागिने  ... असा क्षणिक गोष्टींवर फार वेळ वाया घालवू नकोस. ज्या गोष्टी आपल्याला काही महिन्यात बदलायचाच आहेत त्याच्यावर काही तास ही वाया घालवणं worth नाही.
२. खूप वाच ... अगदी जे मिळेल ते वाच. वाचायचा मला नेहमीच कंटाळा आलेला असतो. पण Facebook म्हणा , Quora म्हणा किंवा कितीही नाही ठरवलं तरी बाबानी पाठवलेले मोठे मोठे WhatsApp फॉर्वर्डस.. वाचतेच!
३. खूप ऐक ...शिक ... सगळ्याच वक्त्यांकडून खूप काही शिकण्यासारखं आहे. ऐकून तर मी कधीच कोणाचा घेत नाही. पण गोष्टी कानावर पडतात...त्या लगेच पटतही नाहीत. पण कधीतरी असाच एकटं बसून विचार करताना जाणवतं...अरे हो ... हे अगदीच खरं आहे.
४. चौथी आणि सगळ्यात important गोष्ट .... तुला पटेल तेच कर, तुझं  १०० % दे  आणि प्रामाणिकपणे कर.

आई बाबा जेव्हा हे सगळं सांगतात... तेव्हा "का हे lecture देतायत", असा वाटतं! पण कुठेतरी त्यांनी  मनाचा आणि डोक्याचा  कोपऱ्यात entry केलेली असते आणि काही काळाने का असो पण ते पटतं.

म्हणून सहजच असं हे  Father's Day Special..... बाबा.. तुम्ही सांगत राहा...मी ऐकत्ये! ;)

X is the new Y

Grey is the new black. Shortcut is the new hack. Small talk is the new deep. A fake smile is the new weep. Pale is the new tan. ‘You really can’t’ is the new can. Small is the new big. Still is the new jig. 30 is the new 40. ‘I’ is the new we. Staying in is the new going out. Certainty is the new doubt. Random is the new order. Lost is the new wander. Is Snowclone the new cliché? Whatever! Black is always black and grey is grey!!

8 Beautiful Non-English Words You Should Steal Right Away

With all this extra time the lockdown has offered me, I am certainly not going to miss out on working on my vocabulary. The best thing I can do is dig through the word of web and look of charming words that can enhance my mini lexis. So, here’s a bunch of beautiful words that do not have a direct English equivalent. But I guess this is what preserves its charm. Wabi Sabi – According to traditional Japanese philosophy, this concept is based on the principle of imperfection. It is the art of finding beauty in the imperfections of life and appreciating the changes that are happening. With the current situation that has affected the world, it would make us happier if we lived life the wabi sabi way. Sturmfrei – This German word literally translates to storm-free. But in reality, it has quite a different meaning. Sturmfrei is the freedom of being alone. Remember, as a child when you would get a day alone at home when your parents had gone out. That feeling, where you had the hou...

Longing

In the quiet of the night, I search for my calling. Longing for a purpose, my heart keeps on falling. Striving a dream that seems forever out of reach. Yearning for that tricky truth, I strain to teach. Aching to achieve, what has yet to be attained. Longing for a liking, that can never be regained. Yearning for the ties with someone I'll never meet. Longing for a destiny that feels so obsolete. Like a ship lost at sea, I keep looking for a solid ground. Looking for answers, that may never be found. I search within, a longing deep inside my soul. Hoping for a purpose that will make me whole.
