You know I am someone who always wanted to enjoy my life with its all different shades and colors. I always believe that God has made this life full of different shades and colors, so that we shouldn’t get bored just by trying only one shade and color. You know life is like rainbow and it will be beautiful only when all of its seven colors will come together and stays forever. I want to make my life like this rainbow...Simply beautiful…I want to live not to just exist.
I celebrated all my childhood in small town and may be because of that, I am bit simple and very much emotional person. So it’s always tough for me to cope up with this fast paced life. You know I don’t want to run in this heart beating race just because everybody is running, rather I just want to stop a while and want to see how this beautiful life moves on. I always feel that, I am very much lucky about my childhood. I met with lot of nice people who were very much loving and caring. I grow up by playing lot of cricket with my elder brother (maza dada) and you know today I reached here only because of him. He is my mentor and in my childhood, he was my competitor when we used to play cricket on small ground present just in front our home and you know I always used to beat him...
I am from middle class family from small town. I still remember “Yega yega hamma gayi... (Angayi geet”), my mother used to sing when I was going to sleep. My mother is very good singer and because of her only I learned Tabla.My friend always asks me from where you get all these old Marathi songs and you know answer is… from my mother. I am software engineer by profession but musician by heart and for this all credit goes to my mother. I am not very good singer but I sing every song straight from the heart that really makes me very happy and pleasant. Music has played crucial role in grooming my personality. It’s has been one of my source of inspiration. I often forgot myself and enjoy that wonderful world which I am not ready to share with others (Am I too selfish?).I always wanted to have life filled with music rather musical life is what I always expected. I still have that incredible morning in my memory which I enjoyed at my native place. I still remember that that sweet songs of birds and gurgling sound of wonderful river. I still remember, early in the morning when my dad used to play Marathi bhavgeet on radio. I have always longed for and still long for but this city life has never presented me with an “Aathwantitali Sakal”.
I played lot of cricket in my childhood rather I grow up with cricket only. Cricket has been never a mere play game for me, it’s been my source of inspiration. I used to learn lot of things while playing cricket. Cricket taught me that life is team game .To survives in life, you’ve got to back each other, you’ve got to help each other, and it’s like give and take. Like cricket,there is so much uncertainty in life; it taught me to accept both success and failure equally. Every hour I spent on field changed my attitude towards life. It made me immensely competitive.Cricket is a way of life for me and I am sure too for thousands of others too in this country who follow game passionately.
I strongly believe that definition of joy differs from person to person and I think that one thing may be great joy for someone but at the same time it may be so much boring for someone…My joy lies in Tabla, Music, Writing(I hope you are not getting bored?), and Reading.I want to enjoy my life in my own way. Someone has greatly said that “Life is a journey” and you know to accomplish this journey, I want to create my own path, my Dream path. The path that my heart always wished to follow.
