I love a rainy night

On a rainy night like this, listen to a nice song by Eddie Rabbit.



Lyrics -
Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good

Well, I love a rainy night
It's such a beautiful sight
I love to feel the rain
On my face
Taste the rain on my lips
In the moonlight shadow

Showers washed
All my cares away
I wake up to a sunny day
'Cos I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night
Well, I love a rainy night

Ooh-ooh

Puts a song
In this heart of mine
Puts a smile on my face every time
'Cos I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night
Ooh, I love a rainy night
Yeah, I love a rainy night

Ooh-ooh

12th June - The day Humor died

The headlines of 13-June-2000 Loksatta said -
प्रिय पु.ल.
आज महाराष्ट्र रडणार नाही, यापुढेही नाही. तुमची आठवण काढून, एकेक शब्द आठवुन हसत राहील. हसता हसता डोळ्यात पाणी येईल एवढंच!

I felt just the same way while reading his every book or listening to his storytelling. His stories made me laugh hard and wet my eyes with emotion at same time. I spent my holidays feasting over his books and never felt like stopping. Whatever sense of humor I have is greatly influenced by his work.
My personal favourites which I carry with me wherever I go -

• Asa mi Asami (असा मी असामी)
  The fictional autobiography of a middle-class Marathi man
  
• Vyakti and Valli (व्यक्ती आणि वल्ली)
  A collection of fictional but quintessential Marathi profiles

His departure meant no new books, no new plays and no new katha kathan cassettes. No more Chitale mastar and no more Phulrani. For me, it was end of marathi humor.

Maaeri

Teriyaan, meriyaan pul gaya
Pul gaya haar te jeet
Hey maaye ki karna main jeet nu
Howey na je meet, howey na je meet

Translation -
I forgot YOURS and MINE,
Even Forgot WIN and LOSE,
What am I gonna do with WIN,
If I don't have a loved one, if I don't have a loved one.
