Chaitali Phadke is a vivacious Mumbaikar, a charming, chirpy girl whose poetry you have to read to believe her sensitive way of seeing things. This poem is her take on herself.

Wow!! I am not Marathi but I could understand it still.. so simple and beautiful.. Nice image too :-)
Yes.. this is quite simple and nice :) I was taking a break from blogging :)
Pretty rangoli. Can't understand some of the words though i live in Mumbai.
nice pic. i understood a little but the contradictions seem beautiful. reminds me of my post 'ignorance'.
Darshan-- tht's the beauty of the poem, so simple and yet to deep!!
Dileep-- right! and when will u be back with more posts now?
Mesjay-- i hope u get the general contradictions in the poem.. it's a paintbrush drawing i drew, though yes, looks like a rangoli :)
Unpretentious-- cousin wrote these bundle of contradictions :) i will check 'ignorance' post too..
Damn neat - Short but very sweet interpretation of whatever she may stand for.
Lovely. It could be a take on many of us as well.
bloody brilliant. while i get the gist, could you transalate the words?
Here you go, a rough translation:
Khari- right, khoti- wrong
kali- dark, gori-fair-skinned
Mee aahe, Mee nahi- I am, I am not
Sona- gold, dagad- stone
agni- fire, jal- water
Bangdi- bangles, dora- thread
Eechha- Will ( or wish) bal- Power (pr strength)
lahan- small, mothi- big. (In this sense, perhaps I am a child, i am a group-up)
Mee satya, Mee asatya- I am the truth, I am the lie
I am Gandhi, I am Bhagat
I am the flower (phool), I am the honeybee (madhmashi)
nadi- River, samudra- ocean
pandhree- white, lal- red
Mee ho (yes) , Mee nahi (no)
Mee asheech Mee Tasheech- I am like this, I am like that...
mee impressed
WOW!!! :))))))))
