by Manaswini

Overview

हलकं-फुलकं मनोरंजन करणाऱ्या, तरीही ज्ञानवर्धक अशा ह्या कविता वाचकाला आगळी अनुभूति देतात. अनुभूति हा मनासविनीचा पहिली मराठी कविता संग्रह असून, रोजच्या जीवनातील विविध विषयांवरी १२०+ कविता तिने सादर केल्या आहेत. अनुभुति कविता संग्रहातील कविता विविध विभागांमध्ये वर्गीकृत केल्या आहेत - निरिक्षण, भावना, सद्यस्थिती, सत्य, बोध (समज), चेतावणी (सावधानता), व्यंगचित्र इत्यादी. प्रत्येक कविता तुमच्या आयुष्याशी निगडित वाटतील. काही मनाला तर काही हृदयाला किंवा दोन्हीला भिडतील! काही कविता विनोदी, काही कथन केल्यासारख्या तर काही शब्दांवर खेळ केलेल्या आहेत. या सर्वच कविता तुमच्या मनावर, खोलवर ठसा उमटवून तुमच्या आत्म्याला भिडतील. यातून मनस्विनीचे भाषेवरील प्रभुत्व जाणवते, जे हृदयाला भिडणारा संदेश देते. या कविता जसजशा वाचत पुढे जाल तसतसे तिचे मन, भावना आणि काय चांगलं काय वाईट याबद्दलच्या तिच्या कल्पना तुम्ही जाणाल. आत-बाहेर, आड-उड न ठेवता थेट आणि स्पष्टपणे लिहिण्याची तिची पद्धत आहे. 'का' आणि 'कसे' असे प्रश्न ती स्वतःलाच विचारते तर कधी कधी आपले 'निरीक्षण' वाचकापुढे ठेवते आणि निर्णय त्याच्यावर सोपवतो. ती खूप बडबडी आहे आणि समाजातील गोष्टी ज्या भूतकाळात किंवा वर्तमान काळात आहेत त्या सांगते आणि जग कोणत्या मार्गाने पुढे जात आहे याचा विचार करायला भाग पाडते, ज्यामुळे तुमच्या भावना ढवळून निघून तुम्ही आश्चर्यचकित होता. अनभिज्ञ बालिकेच्या मनातील विचार, एक अजाण मुलगा त्याच्या आईला विचारात असलेला प्रश्न, सर्वात प्रिय आणि विश्वासार्ह व्यक्तीने केलेली फसवणूक, अवाजवी सामाजिक बंधने, गरिबी आणि श्रीमंती, खोटे मुखवटे घालून, चेहरा लपवून वागणाऱ्या माणसांना उघडं पाडते.भोवतालच्या पर्यावरणाच्या संवर्धनाची तिला जाण आहे. जसजसा नैसर्गिक संपत्तीचा ऱ्हास होतोय तसतसा मानवी बुद्धीचा ऱ्हास होत असल्याची हळहळ तिला वाटते. मानसिक कोतेपणाची खंत तिला वाटते. विविध परिस्थितीत, विविध मनाच्या अवस्था मनोरंजक पद्धतीने अगदी सहज साधे हसण्यापासून ते प्रदीर्घ ठसा उमटविण्यापर्यंत प्रत्येक वाचकाला आत्मनिरीक्षण, आत्मपरीक्षण करण्यास भाग पाडते. प्रत्यक्ष वाचकाच्या मनात निदान एखाद दोन कवितांचा वास कायम राहील ह्याची हमी मनस्विनी देते. हल्लीच्या दुनियेत सातत्याने होणारे बदल, बदलती भाषा , शब्दांचे बदलते अर्थ आणि त्यानुसार करावे लागणारी तडजोड आणि त्यामुळे येणारा जीवन शैलीतील बदल हे नुतून जीवन पद्धतीत अपरिहार्य झालं आहे. ह्यातून निर्माण होणारे पेच प्रसंग, तडजोडी आणि त्यावर काढलेले उपाय मनस्विनीच्या डोक्यात सतत घोळतात आणि त्यातूनच होणारी 'अनुभुति' जाणवते. अशा बदलत्या परिस्थितीत आपलं खरं अंतर्मन सतत 'काय चूक, काय बरोबर' ह्या द्विधा अवस्थेत राहून 'काय कमावलं’, काय गमावलं' याच सतत आढावा घेत असतं त्यामुळे देव, अधिदैविक, नशीब, प्रारब्ध आणि अंधश्रद्धा सोडून सामाजिक जबाबदाऱ्या स्वीकारण्यास प्रवृत्त करतात. हा मानसिक प्रवास म्हणजेच मनस्विनीची 'अनुभूति' आहे. वाचक एका मागून एक कविता वाचत जाईल - प्रत्येक व्यक्तीला अविस्मरणीय प्रसंगातून जावेच लागते तेव्हा तेव्हा त्याला मानवी क्षमतेची जाणीव होते आणि त्याचा तोरा उतरतो. ह्या व इतर बारीक-सारीक गोष्टी मनस्विनीने सहज जाता जाता छेडल्या आहेत. रसिकांनो प्रत्येक कविता लक्ष्य पूर्वक वाचलीत आणि आस्वाद घेत गेलात तर त्यांतील विविध भावनांची उकल होईल आणि तुम्ही मनस्विनी चे अंतर्मन ओळखत जाल. ह्या कवितांचे वाचन, मनं, पचन हीच अनुभुति आहे. चला तर, मनस्विनी बरोबरचा प्रवास आरंभ करा...

About the Author

Who is Manaswini? Manaswini is a middle-class woman who has had a 'not-too-easy' life but pursed her ideals ceaselessly. Naturally, she is faced with many challenges – some imposed due to her high ambitions, some due to her own limitations and others imposed by external factors such as social pressures, cultural baggage, lack of opportunities etc. Manaswini values education above anything else and made her living being a teacher most life, although she had worked in banks, small offices, social institutions before. She is a keen observer, who started as a rebel questioning how and why of things that bothered her, but soon learnt 'acceptance' and became a sensitive person, less critical of denials and injustice dished out on her plate of life. Many of those rebel questions got answered as she plodded along life, some have remained questions to date as she continues to look at the world through changing times. She is still in the making, learning new things from life everyday but has already framed answers / solutions with whatever little she knows / learned in response to that insolent mind of hers. But each and every time she takes a fresh look at herself and the people around her and the society as a whole – there is a certain freshness about her spirit which simply 'seeks'. She thinks about situations and tries to relate those 'critical' observations gaining some unique overviews - which are well-presented in her poems. She is a quiet person in everyday life but aggressively at work, she believes is important! She has painstakingly compiled her first book of poems. One lovely character of Manaswini is her amazing adaptability, without which she wouldn't have survived through the 'thick and thin' of her challenging life. She cannot help appreciating the changes and has developed an understanding of how things were, how they should have been, what they are now and where are they heading. Her writing captures the changing times, changing moralities and changing attitudes. She cannot help warning us the dangers of 'changing guns' and 'jumping fences' in pursuit of short-term needs, greed; which she observes in people around, all the time! Manaswini is open-minded and tries to mop-in new influences and technology. Human as she is, with a natural nostalgia, she pushes herself in the new world bravely. She is aware of environment and environmental issues surrounding modernity / development and some of her poems reflect this concern. She is quite positive about it and marries those concerns with adaptability providing us readers with a hope for better future, provided we practise self-restraint as a policy while exploiting nature / technology. How does Manaswini look? Let's be honest, Manaswini is not a beauty queen, but she is not bad looking either! She dresses smart to compliment her 'next-door' looks and her witty brains are her powerful fashion accessories. Manaswini mesmerises people around her by radiating her inner beauty through her eyes, words and deeds. Manaswini dresses modestly and has only a couple of designer dresses, which she wears on festive ocassions - but you will never guess, her everyday wear is mostly from the stalls outside that big shopping mall! Manaswini has a slender built, quite athletic, pleasing personality and is slightly taller than the average girls. She wears a conservative plait that twines her curly dark hair and her hair clip matches her dress on most days. When Manaswini is seen by people, they see not only the person but her personality, her heart and her questioning mind. There were times she wished she was more beautiful when someone else got a random break just for the looks but this insecurity does not really bother her underlying confidence – she is quite content the way she is and knows very well that external beauty is transient and fades with time but being a beautiful soul is for ever. How does Manaswini talk / sound like? You will like her the moment she says 'hello' as it's not just her lips but also her eyes saying hello as well. She speaks clearly but softly and her words are fortified with her wisdom and experiences of the world she lives in. Her accent is urban and her grammar is chaste, but her Marathi is corrupted with lots of English, Hindi and Gujarati words, thanks to the cosmopolitan city she dwells. She gets straight to the point and dislikes the general formalities that many people follow knowingly/ unknowingly. Being independent and busy with her own life, she does not have volumes of general gossip but what she knows is of substance and she is absolutely sure about it. How old is Manaswini? It's wrong to ask a lady her age, but she is about the same age as you. She has gone through life and her poems talk about the changing world and her adaptability. Her thoughts and thought processes evolve with times, so she is evergreen and young! Should we say - she has gone past her teenage, brought up children and faced middle-class, mid-life crises and come out of it, become mature as a wise old grandma and in a position to guide and advise. Age is only a number, so keep guessing! Where is Manaswini from? Manaswini is from India, Indian at heart and will remain Indian. But she is that global Indian who has travelled and spent quite some time abroad, lived and interacted with western cultures and related it to Indian culture time and again. She is firm in her roots, but she seems to have accepted westernisation as an ongoing, inevitable phenomenon during the process of globalisation. Her poems neither show an excessive admiration nor rejection of westernisation. Will Manaswini tell me what she really thinks? In general she is not too talkative when it comes to sharing her 'inner' thoughts, she will only talk to her friends or someone she thinks is worth sharing with. It's not coincidental, but almost every time she joins in a conversation, it is at a point when moralities or right / wrong is being discussed or someone has asked her advice on a 'moral issue'. She is fierce and defensive about what she believes is right / wrong and quickly dismisses other arguments that sound immoral or she thinks are based on a certain falsehood. Manaswini sounds quite different when she gets in that mode, her tone of voice changes rapidly but her volume of speech not that much. Words flow out passionately but never will she swear or utter any words that fall out of etiquette. People struggle to keep pace with her chain of thoughts – she skips through the train of thought waves as most of those emotions originate in her heart. Her arguments in defence become far-fetched for some, who then misjudge her and she gets misunderstood in certain circles, simply because she did not clarify the 'obvious' as she went along. But Manaswini does not care, as her experience shows she always gets more supporters than opponents at the end of it and she knows she is on the side of truth and 'truth always wins' somehow! People get converted to her way of thinking after they hear her – she is quite an orator in these extraordinary situations. So watch out readers – after reading Manaswini's works, you might get converted! Manaswini builds up a lot of emotional baggage but is fair in her evaluations; she goes through a dialogue with the self and the result is fine, classy writings. Read and enjoy!
