The Study Circle



(It all starts in exam hall...)

                  Ohh Shit. Ohh Shit!!! How am I gonna clear this time. I have hardly solved 40-50% of paper & additionally that stupid girl next to me is not showing me even one answer. How sincere I was in my school days!! Mom's right, I have lost my sincerity. Anyways, now i am not gonna let this happen again. For next exam am gonna prepare properly... I hope Sir muzpe khoonas na nikale aur muze pass kar de...


                   Ohkkk... so for next exam I am having 8 subjects, Its really God's grace I cleared this time. But i am not gonna play with my luck again. I am having decent time to cover each & everything. Yesssss... I can Do it!!! Let's start with this subject now....(in 15 mins)  "Swa, It's your friend. He's asking whether you are home or not. What should I say??" "Oh Mom... (How can she say this so loudly) wait i am coming... Hey hi... No i was just doing TP.... right NOW.....ummmmm (I should not go ideally, but then he'll think m overacting. & waise bhi maine muhurat pe padhai ki shuruwat to kar di... So) Yes m coming.. Wer r u"

                  OMG.. Its like 2 months have passed since last exam & i m like nowhere... Swa its not good... what happened to that dedication n all. Lets start now... (in 10 mins reading position changes from vertical to horizontal)... (another 5 mins) M reading the same line for 5th time & still not understanding anything. I think I ma overburdened. I need some relaxation. lemme sleep...

                 ... I know I know, its not going BEST, still this time atleast m trying since last 5-6 months. Now what can I do if there are so many other important things. I mean, I can't  'always' avoid calls (spends atleast 1.5 hrs on phone... daily), also its ok to go to a party/ dinner or an outing on alternate weekends. The better part is that I watched just 4 movies in 2 months (that makes all weekends busy though), Mann... m improving with time... & I'll study...

                 WTF... i give up.I can't miss this party. Everyone is going. Waise bhi ab tak itna try kiya to bhi kuch nahi hua, to aaj kya khak hone wala hey.... I will study in last month only. I can judge myself properly, so I know I perform only under pressure. So.. its last month for doing fun n all & then I will give my best...
"Swa, where are you going? I thought you are series this time, but nothing has changed. Try to remember how you were in your school days.... (there she goes.... ) Mom trust me, I know what I am doing.. I have a 'PLAN' & m following it... 

                Hey Bhagwan, please help me. I am very very tensed. Only 4 weeks for the exam (calculation changes from 1 month to weeks). How I am gonna cover this ocean of syllabus in such a 'short' time. Yarrr I should have begun earlier... Anyways now I have to concentrate only on IMP's... & waise bhi my luck is great..."

              And its the exam day... I think I studied properly. I know i know I could have easily done better than this...don't worry everything will go well...

             (In the exam hall) Ohh Shit. Ohh Shit!!! How am gonna clear this time.............

& The Study Circle Completes..!!

आयुष्य


धावत जगतो आयुष्य, ध्येय गाठण्यामागे

क्षणभर घे विश्रांति, शोध सुखाचे धागे



मिळविता पैसे पुरेसे, थांबविन धावाधाव

काय पुरेसे मजला, न लागे याचा ठाव 



ऐसपैस घर माझे, रोजच गोड़धोड

एकाकी असतो मी जरी, कर्तुत्व माझे अजोड



पैशाची राशि मोठी, जीवना शेवटी असे

उपभोगा न उरे मी, हां खेळ तेथेची फसे



जगलो मी भविष्य-चिंतेत, खंत भूतकाळ|ची 

विसरलो वर्तमाना मी, शोधताना वाट सुखाची..



-स्वरुप खाडिलकर-


स्वप्न..

या थंड वेळी
बेधुंद सकाळी
तू मजजवळी
अजुन हवे काय

हाती तुझा हात 
जन्मोजन्मीची साथ 
सर्व संकटी मात
करू आपण दोघे

तुझा प्रेमळ दृष्टिक्षेप
माझ्या मनाची झेप
त्यावर तुझा आक्षेप
सर्व दृष्ट लागण्याजोगे 

गुलाबी गुलाबी गाल
ओठ मादक लाल
मन करी बेताल
स्पर्शास अधीर झाले

माझ्या नावाची हाक
का ग सुटली तुझी साथ
"घड्याळी वाजले आठ 
स्वरुप उठ..." आई म्हणे

नवदिन



सर्वत्र पसरली लाली, ही क्षितिजातुनी निघाली 
निसर्गाच्या रंगोत्सवाने, धरती पूरी न्हाली 

द्विजगण हे अवतरति, गुंजन सुमधुर करती
नव्या दिनाच्या नवोत्सवाचा उत्साह प्रसरवती

गोंजारून मृदु रविकिरणे, उठवती साऱ्या जगाता
निसर्गाची लगबग घाई, नवदिनारम्भा करीता 

हा उत्सव नित्य अविरत, होतो चैतन्य आणाया
हा रोज तरी नव्याने, सांगतो आशेत जगाया.
