माझे जगणे होते गाणे ( विडंबन )

माझे जगणे होते गाणे  ( विडंबन ) जाता जाता पिईन मी पिता पिता जाईन मी  गेल्यावरही या मैफिलितल्या  धुंदीमधुनी राहीन  मी ||  माझे  जगणे होते पिणे  कधी मनाचे कधी  जनाचे  कधी पाण्यासवे  कधी सोडयासवे जवळ चणे  फुटाणे ||  सिग्रेटीची संथ धुरावळ  वा मित्रांचा संकर गोंधळ  कायम आर्तता काळजातली  कधीच नाही बहाणे ||  ओकलो अथवा ओकलाो नाही  पोटी काही राहिले नाही  'इंग्लिश' मधील बडबडींचे होई मस्त तराणे ||  आठवणीँचे राजस गुंजन  कधी राजकारणी मंथन  जाणतेपणी अजाणतेचे  सोंग करी शहाणे || 

Few questions after a win in Lost series...

Just concluded India's tour to South Africa was unique in many perspectives. It was first major series of Virat Kohli outside sub-continent & consequently his major test.It was first series where there were realistic expectation of series win. India fought well through the series , had their moments , battled come back from 2-0 down and won last test to make it 2-1, series lost nevertheless. So what went wrong ? First of all is there anything wrong ? If you lose a hard fought series where in all 3 matches both teams had their chances till last 2 sessions of a test , we may like to believe that it was close and both teams matched each other. But the difference and Victory margins in all 3 tests suggest otherwise.If anyone has a look at scorecard 5 years down the line , one may conclude that South Africa was superior in first 2 matches by some distance and same for India in final test. And probably this is the reality and to think pitch for final test was not ideal for test
