I am trying (to understand). In the process, I hope to share my experiences on this platform... When I write, I need to self-talk, read, re-read, (re-write)... Then I find gaps, my mis-understandings, errors both in my writing as well as in behavior. And I get lessons on what I need to learn/improve. Then I try. I fail. I re-try. I fail. Did I? No, because I tried again. This is my way of life to lead myself: Personally and Professionally. Checkout my other blogs and work at http://www.worldOFkaizen.com/

बॉसचं मोठं, तूझं खोटं !

This poem is about paradigm shift on an eternal fight between a Boss and his subordinate.

Marathi Version

बॉसचं मोठं, तूझं सारंच छोटं
त्याचं १००-नंबरी, तूझं खोटं
येणार उशीरा: तो रूबाबदार बॉस
लवकर येणारा: झाडूवाला खास

त्याचं सोन्याहून पिवळं
तूझं डांबराहून काळं

बॉसचं, कॅरट चाैवीस
तूझं, चारसो बीस

बॉसचा मसल-कॅच मोठा
तूझा हार्ट-अटॅकही खोटा

बॉसचं पब्लिक पण प्रायव्हेट
तूझं प्रायव्हेट पण पब्लिक

सायकल पंन्कचरला त्याची दांडी
तंगडी तूटली तरी तूझ्यावर अंडी

बॉसचं सारंच मोठं, तूझं छोटं
त्याचं १००-नंबरी, तूझं खोटं
नको करून घेऊ उगा त्रास
'तूच' खरंतर तूझा मोठ्ठा बॉस

'तू' is the G-O-D (Generator-Operator-Destroyer) in you.

Daddy! बा: तेव्हां आणि आता !

तेव्हां, "डॅडी-डॅडी!" काय करताय. "डॅडी!" काय करताय.
आता, का(sss)य करता(sss)य (हे?) !

(तेव्हां, द्या आणा. मी करू?)²
आता, झाले का तुम्ही  (परत) सुरू!

(तेव्हां, डॅड्डी डॆड्डी! कुठ्ठे जाताsय!)²
आता , बरं येs-ताsssय (ना)?


(तेव्हां, डॅडी-डॅडी, मी येऊ)²
आता, मीच का म्हणून येऊ?

(तेव्हां, अरेरे पडलात? देऊ का हात?)²
आता, अssरे घालू का पेकाटात..

(तेव्हां, झालं इतक्यात! जेवलात!)²
आता, आटपा आता! किती जेवलात?

(तेव्हां उचलूनच आणले त्यानी, खेळण्याचे अख्खे दूकान)²
आता, त्यांनाच नाही, रोटी-कपडा-मकान

(तेव्हां मात्र, "ईस्ट-टू-वेस्ट, ही इज दी-बेस्ट")²
आता, धिस मॅडी इज् अ शिssअर वेस्ट

(तेव्हां पूसती सारेच: बायको-सून - नातू-अन्-नात)²
आता, कोणीच नाही! गेली ती साsssरीच बात!!

(तेव्हां, सेन्टली (saintly)हॅपी: होते सारेच डॅडी!)²
कोणी केले त्यांना ¹सेन्टी': आता-एव्हर-सॅडी?

Thipoem is about feelings of a typical father's ward. 
It's about pushing oneself to think how to make-a-difference.
It's about how a person's behavior changes over a period of time, from being a child to an adult to a parent, sometimes forced by circumstances, sometimes by loss of patience, sometimes due to lack of tolerance capability, sometimes by choice.
About how a saintly-happy person is forced to become sad-and-sentimental when gets Taken-For-Granted.
About how equanimity gets challenged by emotionality.
About how a goon can also become sentimental, searching for an answer after dwelling in a self-talk.

Soon the poem will be available in English as well as MaiKu Is My-Haiku version also.

Happy-Children's-Day

November 14: The Happy-Children's-Day!

I wrote a small poem on this 'Day'. But I forgot to publish it on that day.

My concept of celebrating days is living-them each day. In other words celebrate a bit of the so-called 'day' on possible moments of each day as it progresses.

I don't believe in breathing only on a 'Breathing-Day'.

Why should you be a happy-child and child-like only on a Happy-Children's-Day?

Actually there is a child inside every one of us that manifests in the form of a child-like behavior but at wrong time. And there is a reason to it.

The reason is the parental-attitude in the language of Behavioral-Modulation-Technique (BMT) or Transactional-Analysis (TA).

It's the adult-attitude that can bring out the child inside us at the right time in the interest of all.

A short poem that I wrote to express this is actually a combination of two Maiku's.

Maiku-1

Actually the Child inside us never dies
Every now-n-then it fights, teases-n-cries
Happily throws tantrums and then sighs

Maiku-2

Its the Parent inside us when nighs
That the child inside us vies
But not always...find out when dear guys

MaiKu Is My-Haiku

Haiku, the smallest poetry form in the world, is a Japanese form of poetry. It means the "beginning" without any end.

Hence it is also called as "unfinished" poetry that is left to the reader to finish based on his or her own understanding, feelings or emotions in reaction to the imagery or the dream that it creates. In that sense, it involves the reader to create his own extraordinary-experience-from-the-ordinary.

I am not even worth the salt in light of the subject of Haiku. But still the self-proclaimed experimental-unreasonable me dared to create a version of Haiku called Maiku© with some inherent advantages that I thought of. I found it very useful for my own self.

Here is a MaiKu on the original Haiku itself.

Haiku: An IQ¹-picture painted 
With suggestions in few words, well-laid  
Create thy meaning beautifully heeded

Here is a MaiKu on My-Haiku.

MaiKu Is My-Haiku
Freely ideate it's poetic rhymes
An objective topic it chimes

The second one captures Maiku's essence as brought out here-under while comparing it with the characteristics of a typical Haiku that the first one captures.

Differences between MaiKu and Haiku

While one may find a lot of literature on Haiku, here's how a Maiku differentiates itself from a HaiKu.

Haiku is usually communicated in a single breath.
MaiKu may be broken preferably in not more than 3 logical pieces in order to communicate it's construction.

Haiku is 5+7+5 sounds or syllables.
MaiKu is an interrelation of (preferably) not more than 3 small rhyming-phrases without restriction on words though. 

In order to provide for the continuity of the dream or story the author may have in her mind, she may write a number of Maiku's in sequence. But at the same time each one should be capable of being standalone to catch a couple of breaths of.

Haiku recommends imagery. 
MaiKu prefers to have an image or sketch of its source of inspiration.

Unlike Haiku, MaiKu may be used to quickly freeze a topic of interest, complex or simple, particularly when a poet or even a writer is hard-pressed for time to express her thoughts elaborately.

Relevant subject can be expanded and developed as an article later on when time permits. In fact, MaiKu is a smaller poem or a micro/tiny tale that may potentially contain a larger poetry or a larger story that can be subsequently expanded. In that case the phrases in Maiku may necessarily contain key words freely flowing (like the freaking trouser legs in picture) on the subject under consideration.

In fact, this blogpost itself is the sequel to the Haikus that I wrote here.

Call it a MaiKu or a Haiku but do write it. 

It's very useful to express oneself and gain audience that is busy enough to consume anything more than a few Tweets.

So interesting it is that it instantly generates pleasure and happiness while writing it. 

It helps you to stay positive by engaging you in subtleties of each moment. It doesn't give crying people an opportunity to cry if they fall for it. 

It also might relieve you off fear or tension if the situation is dissected looking for positives in it and then expressed in lighter vein in the form of a MaiKu or Haiku. I just freak out the word 'tension' for instance by a Maiku: 

Shun the tension
Look at the free-flowing oxygen,
Exchange greetings at muscle's junctions!!

Bird that just chirped

Bird on toilet window, just chirped

A blissful meditative moment creeped

Didn't allow it to get slipped

Eternally Happy: परमानंद

There is a quest that most face sometime or the other.

Should one succumb to desires seeking pleasure?
Or should one strive for happiness or still higher order for bliss ?
How does one resolve these queries ?

I have no doubt to express that I am not competent to answer above questions. But in order to quench my own thirst, I do try to find answers in my own ways.

Until more enlightenment dawns, I go by a concept that I read somewhere: GOD is a beautiful flower that created so many noses (in the form of life in material-world as also in the form of the infinite-n-infinitesimal Universe) to smell itself and enjoy!

What does one do on seeing a beautiful flower?

1/ Some don't have time to see them at all.
2/ Some pluck it in order to create creative displays on head, or shirt, or in a vase.
3/ Few others gaze at them, analyse, submit reports and go away.
4/ Very few cajole them, nurse the plants that sport them with fertilisers and water. And their journey is likely to graduate and go "beyond-them".

First one is short of time perhaps because of her busy-ness in earning money (material resources).

Second and third types 'like' the flowers. The last one 'loves' them. But the first one probably seems very busy in "Me-Myself-Mine" to know about both the 'like', 'love' and beyond.

For the last one perhaps the thought that "Me, Material-Universe (the flower and the plant, etc), and Lord (G-O-D: Generator-Operator-Destructor) of the Universe are no-different" gives a blissful feeling.

For the rest, if the otherway-round-thought gives a blissful feeling then they are the lord-of-themselves: free to choose their own option. Ultimate need actually is to enjoy while seeking answers!

Hereunder is a poetic expression in Marathi language (Devnagari script), a version of the original poem in English already published by me earlier.

Part-1: The Journey: Wants-to-Needs! Extrinsic-to-Intrinsic !!
एक प्रवास: इच्छांकडून गरजांकडे, बाह्यसुखांकडून आंतरिक सुखांकडे !

इच्छेवरी-प्रेम, की सुखापरी-आनंद; असेतरी काय हा परमानंद ?
                                       
बागडे ते भूके-बालक मिळताचं चरमरीतं खाऊ 
अटेन्शन-अन् थोडंसं-प्रेम, 'टेन्शन'-ताऊ-भाऊ-ही करती या...हू

बालके होता पालकं, गरजांच्या होती इच्छा-रूक्षेच्छा 
होताचं सीनियऱ-बालकं, इच्छा होती कल्पव्रुक्षेच्छा
छत्राऐवजी घर, घराऐवजी मोठे घर, हवे त्याहूनही मोठे घर
बस-ऐवजी कार, तद्-नंतर लागे लक्झरी-कारची घरघर.      =1=

इच्छेवरी-प्रेम, की सुखापरी-आनंद; काय असावा बरे परमानंद ?
सुखात दडती इच्छा-स्वच्छंद, परि प्रेमात दडे आनंद !

इच्छा होता फुलाची, नाहीका वाटत फुल तोडावं रे ?
परि प्रेमापोटी फुलाच्या, देशी खत-पाणीचं फुलझाडा-रे

अखेर इच्छाच त्या, आगंतुक शरीर-मनाच्या इच्छाच-रे
अप्रमाणित-अगणित, करिती "म"-मजसी अगतिक रे
विनाश काले करिती भल-भल्यांचीही बुद्दी विपरीत रे
ओसामा-वा असो-सद्दाम, इंद्रसत्ताही कूचकामी ठरे
अरेरे अरेरे, उद्दामांचाही उद्दाम-"मी" संपत्तीसंवेचं मरेरे
तयापुढे तर विग्यानही नमे-रे. ओ-माय-गॉड्, खरंच तू ग्रेटरे.    =2=

इच्छेवरी-प्रेम, की सुखापरी-आनंद; काय असे बरे परमानंद ?
जगद्-इच्छेत भासे सुख, तर विश्व-प्रेमात गवसे आनंद !
निर्भेळ-निरेच्छ-निर्मळ विश्वनाथी-प्रेमात पऱि परमानंद !!    =3=

Part-2: The Journey: Body-to-Mind-to-Soul ! Happiness-to-Bliss !! 
प्रवासाचा एक मार्ग : शरीर-ते-मन-ते-आत्मा ! आनंद-ते-परमानंद !!
