  2. आणि हे शीर्षक - 'कालचीच गोष्ट' अगदी योग्य आहे कप्या... वेळीच काळजी घेतली नाही तर आपली माय मराठी कधी कालची गोष्ट झाली कधी कळणारच नाही... बालपणीच्या बाल गीतांसारखी, आजी आजोबांनी सांगितलेल्या गोष्टींसारखी... लहानपणी शाळेबाहेर मित्रांसोबत टवाळक्या करत खाल्लेल्या खाऊसारखी... आणि मराठीच्या गृहपाठात केलेल्या शुद्धलेखनाच्या चुकांसाठी खालेल्या छड्यांसारखी :प ... गंमत सोड रे, पण खरंच - "असो".. "जाऊ दे".. असं करत करत.. म्हणजे खरं तर दर वेळेस 'let go' करत - आपणच तर दुर्लक्ष करतो ना आपल्या मातृभाषेकडे - खरं म्हणजे जिचा वापर अगदी स्वाभाविकपणे व्हायला हवा आपल्या दैनंदिन व्यवहारातून - कधी समोरच्याला (मराठी) काळात नाही म्हणून... तर कधी आपल्यालाच योग्यवेळी योग्य तो शब्द आठवत नाही (किंवा खरंतर माहीत नसतो) म्हणून...!

  5. Agree with everything you said kapya.. I would add to this -
    Its more shame when nowadays "actors in marathi movies use English sentences along with marathi" .. Listening to the English in marathi movies is so irritating - for eg - college students in marathi movies use words like "don't worry yaar" or "wats up dude" blah blah blah.. It would be more touching and connecting if some someone says "kasa ahes" or "kalji karu nakos". Dont u think so? I think "Marathi is far more 'connecting' language that English is."
    Basic point is - we won't find any more good and touching marathi movies if the language is not PURELY MARATHI.

  6. chill man....English is what the world needs not Tamil, Telugu, Bengali or Marathi and learning a new language is not a sin by any stretch of imagination. And aboutt using English in regional movies, i must tell you that they are ok. I mean u can lap up heroes throeing baddies around like they were made of sponge and heroes and but not college students speaking in English??And dont you dare say that movie is an artform. It ceased to be since long back. Dont poison young India with your random opinion.

  7. @shon: seems like you have no love for your mother tongue..
    You have not read my blog post complete.. or you did not get what i wanted to tell exactly.

    "English is what the world needs...": in my blog post i have supported for Semi-English medium. In which Science and Math are tought in English medium.
    So..one learns what the WORLD needs.. and still manages to keep their love for language alive.
    "English in movies...": I think, occasional english lines in regional movies is ok. Even 'Kaminey' had bengali and Marathi lines in it..
    and I Dare to say movie is an artform.. because it IS!
    Did you by any chance watched "Harishchandrachi Factory" a marathi film which was sent for Oscars from India.. not any other movie.
    i wonder what exactly you mean by "artform".

    "Don't poison..": well shon.. if you think the westernised brats living in metro cities are those which i am trying to poison.. then don't worry.. they are already poisoned.. and they have no idea of they mother tongue.
    and if you are saying that i am trying to poison 'young india' then also you are dead wrong.
    Regional languages are the voices of those thousands and millions of young bhartiya which live in real bharat. and the city dweller young india has no idea about them.
    You can get real bharat gyan from some of the regional news papers..
    and through my blog post i have tried to put same point.

    Just to be clear again.. i am not undermining the position of english or for that matter any other language. But telling to give due importance to your mother tongue first.

    and before you reply shon, read the complete blog post.
