आठवणीतला म्हाळशेज....

*आठवणीतला म्हाळशेज* कोविड ने सर्वांप्रमाणे माझंही मत परिवर्तन केलंय. २०२० च्या ऑगस्टला हॉस्पिटलमध्ये ऍडमिट असताना बेड वर पडल्यापडल्या *त्या गवाक्षातून* बाह्य जग न्याहाळताना मनाशी पक्की खूणगाठ बांधली, इथून जिवंत बाहेर पडलो तर त्या सर्वांना फोन करेन ज्यांच्याशी मी अबोला धरला आहे, त्या सर्वांना मोठ्या मनाने माफ करेन ज्यांनी मला दुखावलं होता, आणि माझ्या मेडिकल कॉलेजच्या मित्रांना आवर्जून भेटेल ज्यांना काही न काही कारणास्तव गेली २३ वर्षे भेटू शकलो नाही. त्या सर्वांमध्ये जाईन, राहीन आणि सर्वांना कुठलाही आडपडदा न ठेवता आवर्जून सांगेन की मित्रांनो, तुम्हा सर्वांशिवाय हा अनिल अपूर्णच आहे. नियतीला हे सर्व मान्य होतं आणि मी सुखरूप हॉस्पिटलतून बाहेर पडलो. सर्वांना स्वतःहून फोन केला. मी सुखरूप आहे सांगितलं आणि लवकरच भेटण्याचं वचन दिलं. वायदे करणं सोपं असतं, ते पाळणं कठीण असतं. नेहमीचं रहाटगाडगं चालू झालं आणि मी त्यात व्यस्त झालो. पण पूर्वीसारखं जीव काढणं सोडून दिलं. मनाला वाटेल आणि पटेल तेच करणं सुरू केलं. गेट टू गेदर चा मेसेज ग्रुप वर पडला. *गोवा.*  ईच्छा असूनही मी सहभागी होऊ शकत नव्हतो. फीस ह...

THE APPLE OF MY EYE.....

           It was one of the most pleasant evening parties I had ever enjoyed, The Bollywood Retro Night, a theme where we were asked to dress up to mimic a film star of the eighties and nineties. I adorned the Rani Mukherjee look, not that I resemble her, but for straight hair and round flat facies, thinking it was the simplest and so it was. Just a sari, sleeveless blouse, straightened hair, minimal makeup and my conventional kumkum. Believe me, all this did nothing to make me look like one of the most liked actresses, Rani Mukherjee, the Khandala girl. So be it. Well, in the party we had about four Neetu Singhs, one Hema Malini, one Mumtaz, one Reena Roy, one Rekha, including one Rani Mukherjee and others who decided to wear retro but be themselves. Hey wait a minute. Did I just missed the boys? So, these once handsome now bald with dancing bellies (mine too) came as Amitabh Bachchan, Shakti Kapoor,  Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Capt...

The Unspoken....

I loved the way we bonded this time.... with real love and concern for each other, maturely understanding and without any pretense. Just a confession, I used to have a tough time at the college coming from a small town, never wanting to do medicine, burdened with some interpersonal issues, having studied in an all-girls boarding school, having lost the only brother in the previous year and being blamed by my mother for letting him go out of the house on that day.....it was very difficult to cope up...with that much pressure I never did know what to do, how to talk, how to behave. And with that confusion and ignorance came my share of being misinterpreted. No one better than me knows what it is to face social rejection. I used to hide my emotions, sometimes there were outbursts sometimes frivolous attitudes, at times just repressive measures. Now, when I look back it all seems so weird that I actually used to die crying and thinking about all the rumors and that my name used t...
