Coming back after two weeks - those were full of excitement actually. Discoverd the joys of computing in my own language - Marathi.

Got hooked up to this site - http://www.manogat.com and by following some posts therein, now I have my MS Office 2003 with Marathi menus.
हे एकदम झकास आहे !

Also published my first "attempted" gazal on manogat -

पहिली गज़ल

खुणावीत होते मज गहिरे मृगजळ कधी
आता रुक्ष पावसात कैकबार नाहतो

गुलाबास काटे इथे अन् गोडवा विषाला
असे नित्य तूझे अजब सरकार पाहतो

ज्ञानी म्हणे नव्हे खरा तो गाव आठवांचा
तरीही कधी या कधी त्या पार राहतो

कल्पिला न होता क्षण एकही तुझ्यावाचुनि
मात्र जिंदगीचे आता सात वार साहतो

उमजली न आम्हा रीत खरी या जगाची
फकीरही भणंग येथे गुलजार नार चाहतो

गमले न होतील स्वप्ने इतुकी खरी 'तृषार्त'
मिटलेल्या कळ्यांचाच केवळ भार वाहतो


By the way, 'तृषार्त' is my pen-name.

Here comes another one bitten by the Blogging Bee!

After spending nearly a decade in IT world - in and around the net, it dawned upon me recently [ while sitting on the Thinking Seat :) ] that I have not really used the Net after all ! It appeared to me as a bunch of computers connected by wires , and not a parallel world, a living, sociable thing.

And in the real world, it's been quite some time that I have made any new friends...so it's time to tell the other world that I am here and kicking, and hope to come across some nice people.

A quick intro - born in mid-seventies, a मराठी guy, now based in Pune. Been around the globe a bit. Though in IT, I feel language/art/humanities is my first love. Haven't been able to do much justice to these so far, and hence the title for my blog.

I guess that's it for now.
