a ‘katta’ in marathi slang would mean ‘a place where people meet impromptu, sit, talk, share, idle away their time n grow up’. it continues to exist in almost every corner of Bombay. each neighborhood, college, school or even a lone building has its very own 'katta' where rich, poor, high class, low class, cease to matter n all come together. local in nature, it has a life of its own, a mood of it own, always occupied, always alive.

"It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters."
-Aesop
सदाशिवे पेठेतल्या
साध्यासुध्या चहाचे
डेक्कनवरच्या कॉफ्फी शी
झाले कडाक्याचे भांडण ....
पारे चढले , तापमान वाढले ,
तळ पायाची आग
पोटामार्गे जळत जळत
मस्तकाला पोचली ,
सर्वत्र दुक्खाच्या ठिणग्या विखुरल्या .....
आणि कोपर्यातला कल्याणीच्या हातातली
कुल्फी
अगदी गळून गेली व
ओक्साबोक्शी रडू लागली ....
पारे चढले, आसमंताला ठिणग्या चाटू लागल्या,
आणि
कोपर्यातली एक मुलगी,
हळूच,
आपली वितळलेली कुल्फी चाटत बसली ......
:-)
L.O.V.E.L.Y !!!!

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo is one of my all time favourites. Memories of lingering company, warm touches and quietly burning passion for me, from years ago. Can't say much more! But loved hearing it and reading your post.
Love the expression.
lovely words...nicely crafted lines!
