Lets think over and change aspiring for the best :) .............!

     We have forgotten that religions and castes were manifestations of people of different origin. Nature & nurture .... birth equals nature, and what teachers impart equals nurture.
We are not keen to change the system, in a manner such that, one day remains as religion would be humanity and quality.... of judging just by watching right & wrong, rather than segregating by caste or religion or community.
   While facing the almighty, we believe the rich , poor, and deprived are treated equally, but we do not act likewise with others. We wish being treated equal to a person who is perhaps richer by birth by god, but when he keeps someone of quality , caliber and value in front of us, we find newer reasons to treat & show that person how undeserving he/she is.
Who cares?????? Let the person loose faith in idealism and other good things he/she grew up with. Let new differences be created. Hope and dreams be shattered..We may find, this is good, but we will rub,scratch , subject the opportunity to harness that is god gifted , may be like a commodity, just like what one experiences in a stress test, to see if the opportunity sustains..And the best part is wasting minutes, days & time..... that is valuable that will never come back, leaving the one who is silently taking every test graciously..and finding his/her good heart probably getting subjected to all kinds of situations !Shedding tears but caring loving..
    Doctors, nurses & those who are into Catering field do a fairly fine job irrespective of the person who is their client so to say... they target at making the customer content or have an objective of welfare in their minds.
One should test the blood groups of people while taking a donation ??
No never ! A transplant?No ?
    Farmer who sows an reaps does so fall no particular caste! He is the only one we must bow to ..since he is like a cow who doesn't know how many people of so many religions feed on her milk. If she starts thinking like us She should just keep it for her calf !!

KAVYARAGINI :)

 

 

Kavyaragini :)

  The poetic name of Nandini Borkar ! A Hindustani vocalist and writer, residing at Navi Mumbai. Born to Shubhada and Premanand Borkar Nandini remembers her childhood days, practising kathak and vocals with her elder brother Durgesh who was very good at almost everything. Drawing,Tabla and studies.  
 Interesting! She is into anchoring, composing, writing articles and taking music workshops on voice culture. Some may call it multi-faeceted but she says it is all streaming from my roots! Parents :)!
  Some childhood memories! A lovely hum that is lullaby in her mothers voice, her first tutor. Her parents identified her talent. Aptitude in acting, mimickry etc.whatever she watched in plays or musicals she came home and reproduced.  Ofcourse, her Aai had a lovely volume and bhav or emotive element in her resonant voice. 
   Later, Nandini was sent to vocals and kathak classes to Anushaktinagar (where she has schooled); after 5 years of being in both she discontinued dancing. Since childhood the house used to float with music on radio and television. Old film songs, classical music and some good programs like Geet Ramayan, Sangeet Sarita, and Pratibha and Pratima on Doordarshan. Ayyappa pooja at Anushaktinagar had marathi stage dramas and thus such healthy environment resulted in Nandini getting inclined towards compositions with classical flavour. She also was a regular prize winner at school and college in music competitions and a regular performer at annual functions. One year prior to completing BA Psychology Nandini had obtained her Sangeet Visharad Diploma and in the next two years MA in Hindustani music from SNDT Mumbai ! From her 9th standard she had started performing film music old melodies in concerts too.
  Nandini was quite good from school days at acting and languages from her school days .She always topped in hindi and aspired to be a lecturer in hindi. But a NET in Music has qualified her to be the same in music. Nandini has sung for films, serials, plays and Channel.( latest promo of & pictures is also designed and sung by her which is classical fusion)  
   Nandini is a fan of Asha Bhosle and Ustad Amir Khan.Reading and listening to good music has been another hobby. 
    She has a high pitched voice but agrees that classical music sounds better in A# thumris may be sung in D etc. She likes to give examples by showing how the style and not the voice of a great musician can be followed, when she takes workshops. That is a favourite with the participants many times. Trying to solve voice problems of fellow musician friends also is one thing she has been doing. She is a poetess so gives proper importance to lyrics both in singing and composing. She has also written on pre-composed tunes and sung her compositions on AIR.
   She has also been working at AIR Mumbai as an announcer also doing recordings,dubbings and participating in programs. These anchoring jobs, she also continued with NCPA and music festivals like Maharashtra Darshan and Baaja Gaaja.
  Nandini has performed full concerts (2&half to 3hr, khayal and  thumri ) at ITC-SRA Youth festival, Pune festival, Paluskar Mahotsav (shanmukhananda sangeet sabha ) music conferences,P Madhukar Mahotsav, Jitendra Abhisheki Smriti Mahotsav, sharada sangeet Vidyalaya and at well known temples in Maharashtra,Goa and Karnataka .
   She connects herself to Gwalior Gharana and learnt under Dr Sarala and Mukta Bhide and has learnt Banares ki thumri under Smt Shobha Gurtu and Smt Girija Devi ( in her workshops at Nehru Centre and NCPA). She has also learnt light music and Voice culture from Music director Pt Yashwant Deo and Natyasangeet and Harmonium from The Harmonium virtuoso Pt Tulsidas Borkar and was part of his Lec demo on Pt Dinanath Mangeshkar. She has been singing her own compositions with AIR .She acquired her grade in 2000 and sang classical and light music with AIR Mumbai. 
   Nandini has been active in translation work, articles,short stories and articles for music channels and institutions like NCPA. She is a regular poetess and writes lyrics on tunes. She has composed music for her sanskrit project Garbhakalyan mantra! (a part from research and commentry, and chants are also sung by her )She writes in Braj,Urdu,Marathi,English and Hindi. Sanskrit and Urdu are also languages that she studied. Some of her work includes (movies- Daulat, Reen Te Farikpanache,) Aradhana (kathak ballet by Nehru centre), Aparajita (serial), Movies (Mata Ramabai and Sanghursh ek satyakatha - singing and Lyrics )
Movies-1) ( Muththi Bher Sapne-with Nitin Kumar Gupta, Kailash Kher, Shaan, Javed Ali )

Vipul Salunkhe ... The actor in short film CHAAHAT...

Friends,

    I just saw this short film of Vipul salunkhe which I have 

shared on my profile ! Very subtle treatment , he actually 

lives the character he plays which I understood as a teenager 

who may have some fear complex ....rest you must see 

...Vipul its an achievement!! you have tried this kind of a 

character when you are supposed to be thought of perfect in 

the typical chocolate hero roles and yet ....you have done 

absolute justice to the role so much that I could not identify 

you when the film began and I feel you have pulled down and 

shed many calories to live this role....Nice to have such talent 

in my neighborhood :) and You have a bright future tapping 

at your doors !!!.

                         ....N B

Gentlemen you must really think !

Oxygen, water, and food.....think guys do we get fresh air daily? yes we do, or no we don't ? So what are we going to do about it ? We know what trees give us shade, wood and leaves flowers, fruits, bark and much more ?They purify the air, absorb carbon dioxide, right ? ? Then before rainy season starts, why does each society, start chooping branches and felling trees? One answer I can't see what my neighbour does at 6.30 or I cant wave hi to my best friend in so and so building ? Each house has school going students!! Each person knows what is good about planting trees... but when people come to chop them... just me and papa feel bad and since he is old he just chooses to keep quiet because the young boys there start screeming or arguing... There was a neighbour ...He has planted some trees, the whole society fights with him, just because he does not allow any one to touch them. Every one wants to see out of his balcony and the trees and their height are a natural hurdle so what ?Lets chop them. Once quietly... one tree, (which was going to be a future target) was struck at many places, so that it would seem that it is dangerous and it should be eventually cut down. However, many people knew it, but poor tree it was struck with an axe at so many vital  places, so that one day the wounded thing, fell on a two wheeler Lo and behold !! People got a chance to point fingers and fight See!! WE SHOULD HAVE CHOPPED IT LONG BACK!!!  What I wonder... are we blind to what is happening around ? Our basic need oxygen!! and purification of the sorrounding polluted air is done.. naturally by trees and we are so carelessly still chopping or cutting them and we say we are educated ???? No we are not then we are literate only are we not ?

Water...there are people who keep their sintex tank valvess open at night and after water supply resumes, when all are sound asleep buckets and buckets of clean/fresh water is heard yes heard.. flowing or gushing down the tanks for 20 minutes in many compounds and we read that there are places without clean water, provided or enough water supply or very little water or dirty water etc.. supplied etc ....Now what we do is, we close the tank at night and when we see supply is on we then open the tank, when the level rises we close it before it overflows Guys please do the same... :)

Food.... I was going to a school which was an international school. Such and other schools have very high fees and good nutritious lunch provided and fresh juices given with extra helpings generously provided/served /offered whatever ... Good! excellent! fantastic! but, but, but,......Many a time, Each child eats hardly a portion of whatever is served or given to drink... Result !!! a steel drum full of food is wasted which is three forth of the food which each child has been served with by the person in charge..When will this stop?why do we think that if I have wasted food, it is a part of my fees paid, so it is quite okay if I do so....Dear Children!!.. fasting is good.. but also taking  only that amount or quantity of food, you think you require,need or can finish from your dish is better is it not ?

This was just an observation Friends... please be thankful to mother earth... She is kind and we must be kind to her inseparable friends.. Trees, flowers, water resources and try to make our sorroundings like picnic spots... by preserving them.. encouraging beds of pastures, flower beds , planting tulsi saplings, utilising empty space and developing gardens, watering plants in turns,etc. We cut all the plants and trees around to park vehicles many times whereas provision for parking and paid parking can be in the building plan initially, rather than unauthorised or unorganised parking here and there... and then felling trees to create spaceand more space...We dont think let us make a garden in whatever space we have,and we take our kids to public gardens. Why don't we create some ? Stop felling the sorrounding trees, wasting water and then going to far of places.. to look for trees and natural waterfalls etc. Take an oath... I will plant trees and protect each and every tree around me .Unless it is absolutely neccessary trees won't be cut or even chopped and we go to some state and take photos of a thousand year old tree. Poor tree... does it hit you, tease you, bite you, abuse you or even stop you when you cut it?It is silently watching and taking the pain, all the time and yet it grows again and again after every chopping round and continues its duty without any fees or taxes to still purify the air around it. I think chopping trees is violence too A tree breathes.. does it not ? and what else does it do ? Leaves absorb carbon dioxide and give away oxygen...

Well OH man !!  Here is one way of being kind and acquiring punya in chaturmasa and actually all your life. Atleast refrain from causing harm to a plant, sapling or poor quiet selfless TREE :)

Guide

My Friend Yogesh Vaidya ,who is like an elder brother to me, has guided and corrected me,

 I remember boring him with my poems.  HE from time to time, even told me, what should

 be the do's and don'ts of poetry 'Tawa kaawya wachatana' was my expression on reading 

his poems, which are lovely in metre.... but humble person as he is he says "well am not so 

great..... but he has inspired me a lot and will always I have changed a lot... but he has 

been, the same simple, humble, nice person, to me. Here, I wish to thank him, from my 

heart. I did not have a Guru in poetry as such... but yes when I think of one, it has to be 

him. He makes every one feel, comfortable and so does wahini! may god bless them all

Tujhyasathi un Majhyasathi

Ek phool majhasathi ani,

Sugandh tyacha tujhyasathi

Ek ashru majha padto,

Athwanicha tujhya sathi,

Meeth wagalle tyatle,

Tewha Nital pani tujhyasathi,

Ek thaap tujhyasathi,

Kautukachi tujhya pathi,

Ani tu dhapata kelas tyacha ,

Ek papani kater hote,

Athwanine tujhyasathi,

Ek papani jad hote shinte,

Tuhi Majhyasathi,

Ek hasya smarte tujhya,

Chayachitratle majhyasathi,

Ek hasya majhe tu chitrit keles,

Gamti gamteet majhasathi,

Ek galawerchi chaan khali,

Tehi ka re mhajhyasathi ?

Mhajha manateel tarang kewal,

Tujhya ani tujhyaach sathi,

Ek manache umalat jaane sahaj,

Kewal tujhyasathi,

Manaatlya manat awkhal hasu,

Tujhe asey mhajhyasathi,

Ek me chandrala nirop dene,

Tyane to wisroon jaane,

Teri tula na sangta kalate,

Kahiteri karayla hawe,

Hechyasathi ka ter....

Te phule ojaleet bharet aste swatahsathi,

Tya sugandha derwal kewal,

Mhajhyasathi mhajhyasathi.
