HAPPY NEW YEAR!


मी बसले होते एकटी, समोर तो अचनक आला
थोडा थकलेला, थोडा उदास वाटला मला,

काय झाले? मी विचारले,
नजर समोर करताच दिसले त्यात पाणी,
चेहरा होता रडवेला, होती थरथरलेली वाणी,
निघालो मी आता, निरोप आखेरचा घ्यायला आलो,
जाता, जाता एक आखेरचा सलाम द्यायला आलो
केल्या खूप गमती -जमती, सुख, दु: खाच्या वर्षात नाहिलो,
तुमचा सोबत ३६५ दिवस मजेत राहिलो,
आता मला  जायला हवं, वेळ जाण्याची झाली आहे,
काहिच क्षणात तुमचा आयुष्यावर उमलणार नवी वेल आहे,
त्या वेलिचं होवो मोठ व्रुक्ष, हीच सदिच्छा ,
तुम्हा सर्वांना नविन वर्षाच्या शुभेच्छा!

का कळेना. . . . 3

का चंद्र आज दिसे गोरा
शुभ्र पांढरा आणी कोरा- कोरा?
ह्या चांदण्या ही नभी हासे
मिरवित आकाशी तोरा
का कळेना.. . का कळेना...

यौवनात कळी का लाजे,
पातात पैंजण वाजे
हा साज ह्रुदयी विराजे
का कळेना...

ताल छेडी सुरेल वारा,
का मदहोश हा शांत किनारा,
नाचत येती लाटा , तुझेच गीत गाता. . .
का कळेना. . . .

गं साजणी.........

नकळत माझ्यावर टाकलीस मोहक तुझी मोहिनी,
उरलो नाही माझा मी, झालो तुझा गं साजणी!
अलगद आलीस माझ्या जिवनी,
स्तब्ध आयुष्याला जशी संजीवनी,
भरलीस प्रेमाची फुंकार तु, उमलले प्रीतीचे रान मनी!

Special Article for Karva Chauth! Slide Show follows this article!

http://www.shaaditimes.com/popups/popup-slideshow.php?image_list=henna-071022|2Henna - The Colour Of Love
Henna or Mehendi is one of the sixteen beautifying tactics or 'solah shringaars' employed by women to look their gorgeous best. It is also one of the rituals associated with the most important fast of the year - Karwa Chauth.

With Karwa Chauth round the corner, the mehendiwaalis are flooded with clients' calls. The demands of the season are reflected in the rates being charged - The normal charges of INR 50 per hand have been doubled to INR 100 per hand and can cost as much as INR 7000 for newly-wed brides celebrating their first Karwa Chauth.

With the art gaining popularity not just in India, but also abroad and finding favour with International brides like Liz Hurley, applying henna is no longer as simple as it used to be. In olden days mehendi was created from the mehendi or henna leaves, but now different materials like nail polishes, inks and even sketch pens being used to apply mehendi. Designs that traditionally included peacock and kairi motifs have now given way to tattoo mehendi, zardozi mehendi and crystal mehendi.

Shaaditimes meets up with Veena Nagda - undoubtedly the most coveted of all mehendi artists in the country today. Veena has the distinction of applying mehendi to Bollywood A-listers like Karisma and Kareena, Kajol, Hrithik, Rani, Sridevi and even the illustrious Liz Hurley!

Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna


This Karwa Chauth, as you get ready to henna your hands and feet, check out pictures of Celebrity mehendi designs and take your pick.

Conscience plays a major role in love
Rajesh Shringarpure


Rajesh Shringarpure, a well-known name in Marathi industry, is slowly emerging as a star in the Hindi film world as well. His Hindi serial, Sahib, Biwi Aur Ghulam, co-starring- Raveena Tandon and Ayub Khan, (Sahara one) is just one proof of his phenomenal skills. Rajesh can also be seen in Saarthi (Star Plus as Lord Krishna), and Char Diwas Sasuche, a Marathi daily on ETV Marathi. He is truly enjoying every bit of attention and fame that is coming his way.

Rajesh Shringarpure

Shaaditimes caught up with this handsome hunk, as he speaks on Love, lust, jealousy, aggression and passion.

Love
Love makes you complete. In love you must not have any expectations from the other as it hurts a lot when they are not fulfilled. Conscience plays a major role. Love at first sight is only for teenagers as they fail to differentiate between true love and attraction. But for mature heart, it's all about understanding the other person; only then will you realise, if you are truly in love. Love has to be pure from heart.

Lust
Yes, there has to be lust up to a certain extent. In fact, I would say that lust is necessary for love. It is a natural feeling. Actually, I would say it is the appreciation that the eyes bring out for any beautiful thing that catches one's sight. I think love is the extension of lust. When there is lust, only then there will be love. But one must learn to draw a line between love and lust. Lust is essential for love to survive.

Jealousy
According to me, jealousy is nothing but an insecure feeling that one has against the other. When one wants to lead or exceed the other and they are unable to do so, jealousy is born. Most of the times when husband and wife are in the same profession, and if wife exceeds him, his ego gets hurt and he ends up feeling jealous. However, I can't really imagine myself being jealous if my wife is more successful than me or earns more than me. I would be proud of her.

Aggression
Do you think I am aggressive? No, I am not. Aggression in any relationship can lead to breaking-up. If you are aggressive towards your partner then he/she will scarcely tolerate it. If you love your wife or husband unconditionally, you cannot be aggressive.

Passion
Passion tops the chart of emotions. It helps to express your love towards your partner or better half. I am passionate towards my family and my people around me. I try to spend quality time with them, surprise my wife with gifts, bouquets, etc. If you have feelings for the opposite person, even if it is love, lust, passion or any other emotion, the person automatically feels it. Actually, all emotions come from the heart, so if you keep your heart in control, then no emotion will go overboard.

My old Collections: - Swapnil Joshi says Love is Life!

Human relationships are very complex. Does a formula for a perfect relationship exist? How essential are love, lust, aggression, jealousy and passion in a relationship?

Swapnil Joshi says: Love is life

Swapnil Joshi He began his career as a child artiste at the age of 7, by playing Kush in Ramanand Sagar's Uttar Ramayana. With a chocolate boy image and smile to die for, Swapnil has matured as an actor in recent years. He has proved his acting prowess with Des Main Nikla Hoga Chand (Star Plus) and also did a cameo with Nana Patekar in Ghulam-E- Mustafa. He is currently seen in Kadvee Khatee Meethi (Star One), Adhuri Ek Kahani (Zee Marathi) and Comedy Circus on Sony Television.

The heartthrob of television industry Swapnil Joshi expresses his feelings on love, lust, jealousy, aggression and passion to Shaaditimes.



Love
Love is life. Love has endless meanings. No dictionary in the world can ever explain love. Love can never be understood. Sometimes it's blooming of a flower, sometimes it is like Mumbai rains. It has to be felt, it has to be experienced. Love is something you want to feel over again and again. One can't explain love, one has to experience it. It is said when you are in love the world seems beautiful.

Lust
If taken in right spirit, Lust is an extension of Love. If taken in wrong spirit, then it is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. Lust gone overboard or without true love is like a spoilt child in class or like a bad boy in town. If lust is packed with love then, it is a lethal combination.

Jealousy
Jealousy is like spice in any relationship. It spices up your life. Jealousy is a necessary evil. It is like a paddle in a river that has opposite or negative current. It helps you to understand why your partner has succeeded. It helps you to understand the good qualities of the other person. I think jealousy also teaches you to respect your husband's/wife's positive qualities. All emotions are born from heart.

Aggression
Aggression is a 'NO' for any relationship. It can spoil your relation. Whatever we say, there is little bit aggression in every relation. I think a good relation is a combination of all emotions. Like there are two sides of a coin, or two kinds of people, good and bad, in the same way there are two types of emotions in a relationship. Emotions like Aggression, Jealousy though bad or dangerous for any relation, yet they are there. But with them, even good emotions like Love, Passion are there, so human relations survive.

Passion
Passion is the most beautiful feeling. It is one of the important factors of life. For me passion is the reason of my survival. I live, eat, think and breathe passionately. Passion is the most necessary emotion in anyone's life. Being passionate shows how much you love your wife/husband. It is an expression just like love. I again say Passion also like love cannot be told. It lies in the eyes of beholder. When you look in each other's eyes, you come to know the degree of passion in his/ her eyes.

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY

WE ALWAYS NEED SOMEONE TO LAUGH WITH, SHARE OUR SORROWS, WIPE OUR TEARS, LEND US A SHOULDER WHEN WE ARE SAD, A HELPING HAND WHEN WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE. SOME ONE UPON WHOM WE CAN RELY FOR EVERYTHING! YES, A FRIEND. HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY TO ALL! :)
 
 
वाटते जेव्हा आहे एकटी, नसते कुणी अवति -भवती

दुर जेव्हा शोधते साथ, दिसुन येतो तुमचा हात

मोडतो जेव्हा पाठीचा कणा, सावरत म्हणणतात ''आम्ही आहोत ना!'

नको करु काळजी उगा, हा काळ आहे एक फूगा

फुटुन जाइल चटकन, दिसेल वाट पटकन,

आश्रु पुसत म्हणतात  तुम्ही, "We're always there for you!"

आखंड जशी निळी छत्री,

राहो तशी आपली मैत्री!

UNPUBLISHED ARTICLES -3


चार दिवस सासुचे

सासु आणी सुन ह्यांचं नातं हे फ़ारच वेगळ असतं. जेव्ढं नाजुक तेव्ढंच ते कठोर ही असतं.

सासु कधी कठोर होते, तर कधी आईची माय ही लावते. नावीन सुनेला ती घरात रुळायला मदत करते.

घरातले नियम ही तीला समजवते.  ती वेळेस स्वत: सुनांच्या बाजुने उभी राहते.

आपण मालिकां मधे बघतो की सासु ही नेहेमीच सुनेचा छळ करते. सुनेला जगणं नकोसं करते.

पण असं ख़रच असतं का ख़रं चित्र वेग्ळच असतं?

काही घरात सुनांचा छ्ळ होतोकुठे सुनांना हुंडा साठी जाळतात.

तर कधी सुना सासरच्या माणसांना घराच्य बाहेर काढतात. पण हे तर काही घरातच असं होतं.

बाकी घरात असं काही होत नाही.

सध्याचं चित्र फ़ारच वेगळं आहे. सध्याची सासु ही सुनेची फक्त सासुच नाही तर एक चांगली मैत्रिण ही
असते.

असं म्हणतात कीएक स्त्री दुस-या स्त्रीची चांगली मैत्रिण किंव्हा सर्वात वाइट शत्रु असते.”

जर हे खरं असेल, तर चांगली मैत्रिण का होऊ नये? तुम्हाला मैत्रिणीची गरज कधी ही लागु शकते, नाही का?      

सासु आणी सुन हे एका माळ्याचे दोन टोकं असतात. जर हे दोनंही टोकं एकत्र असतील तर माळ ही अखंड राहते.

काही दिवसंपुर्वी मी एक किस्सा वाचला होता. त्यात सासु सुनेचे नातं फार सुंदर गुंफले होते.



संध्याकाळी जेव्हा गौरव घरी आला, त्याच्या आईने दार उघडले. आईला बघुन त्याला फार आनंद झाला.
 
ग्रेटाने आपल्याला बोलवुन घेतल्याचे आईने गौरवला संगितले. त्या रात्री तीघांनी खुप गप्पा मारल्या.

आई जितके दिवस मुंबईत होती तिके दिवस तिघांनी खूप मज्जा केली. आई महिनाभर राहिले आणि गावी परत गेली.

काही दिवसांनतर ग्रीटाला आईचं पत्र आलंत्यात आईने ग्रेटाचं खूप कौतुक केल. ग्रीटाच्या ह्या वगणुकी मुळे

सासु सुनेचं नातं आधिकच घट्ट झालं.

सासु आणी सुन ह्यांच्या मधे पीढचं अंतर असल्या मुळे बरेच वेळा क्लेश होतात. आणि हेच क्लेश मग भांडनात

बदलतात. दोघांनी जर थोडीशी माघार घेतली, तर प्रत्येक घरात सुख, शांति अणि समधान नंदेल.

भांडण तेव्हाच होतात जेव्हा गैरसमझ आणि मनातील आडी वाढते. पण हे सगळं थांबवता येतं.

ह्या कडता दोघांनी एका मेकांना समझुन घ्यायला हवं.


सुखी घरासाठी काही सुचना. बघा जमतय का?

प्रथम सुनांसाठी

तुमच्या सासुला तुमच्या आई इत्काच मान द्या.

त्यांची काळजी स्व:ताच्या आई इत्कीच घ्या.

सासुला आपली सखी माना, प्रतिस्पर्धी नाही.

त्यांना दुखवु नका. कारण जर त्या आनंदी तर तुमचा नवरा ही आनंदी.

तुमच्या घरातली भांडण चार भिंतिंच्या आतच ठेवा. जगजाहीर करुन लोकांना चगळाया विषय देउ नका.

दोघांमधली आडी , चर्चा करुन घरातच सोडवा.

तुमच्या सासुला एखाद दिवशी फिरायला घेउन जा. त्यांच्या साठी भेटवस्तु घ्या.

कधी त्यांचे आवडते पदार्थ बनवा.

तुम्ही जर नोकरी करत असाल, तर एक दिवस सुट्टी काढुन, त्यांच्या बरोबर घालवा.

एखाद दिवशी त्यांच्या मैत्रिणींनसाठी खास असा बेत आखा.

त्यांना बाहेर घेउन जा, नाटक, सिनेमा किंव्हा त्यांच्या आवडत्या ठिकाणी.

आता सासुंसाठी

तुमच्या सुनेला प्रेमाने, आपुलकी ने वागवा.

तिचा मनापासुन स्वीकार करा. तुमच्या मुलाने तिला पसंत केली आहे. तुम्ही पण तिचा मनापासुन स्वीकार करा.

तुम्ही त्याची प्रत्येक नीवड स्वीकारली, त्याचं शिक्षण आसो, खेळणं, किंव्हा त्याचे कपडे; मग आता ही हे कठीण नाही.

त्याच्या बायकोची सारखी सारखी त्याच्या कडे तक्रार करु नका. तुमच्या मधले क्लेश स्व:ताच सोडवा.

तुमच्या मुलाच्या आयुश्यातला हा बदल आनंदाने स्वीकारा.

तिला तुमची मुलगी म्हणुन जवळ घ्या.

तिला घरातले निति- नियम शिकवा. ति चुकली तर तिला संभाळुन घ्या.

घरात रुळायला तिला थोडा वेळ द्या.

तिला थोडं तिच्या मनासार्खे वागुन द्या.


लक्ष्यात घ्या:

मायेनी वाढते माया, प्रेमाने वाढते प्रेम.”

आनंदाने राहुन, टिकेल संसाराची फ़्रेम.”

सासु कधी सुन होती, सुन ही होइल सासु कधी,”

आता जिथे तु आहेस, होते तिथे मी आधी

सुन आली घेउन घरा, दिवस आनंदाचे, हासुचे,

आता आली सुनेची सत्ता, राहिले चार दिवस सासुचे!”
