Marathi blog (couldn't resist)

ब्लॉगर वेबसाईटने अशातच हिंदी भाषेमधे ब्लॉगींग करण्याची सोय केली आहे. हिंदी म्हणजे मराठी सुद्धा कारण लिपी एकच आहे. असं नाही की मला त्याची खूप गरज होती पण ...
मी माझ्या घरच्या कंप्यूटर वर युबुन्टू वापरत असल्यामुळे मी XKB किंवा SCIM वापरू शकतो. पण आता सगळे मराठी/हिंदी मधे ब्लॉगींग करू शकतात. खास करून माझा मित्र केदार. :-)

माझ्या कडून खूप अपेक्षा ठेवू नका कारण मला मराठी मधे काही चांगलं लिहून खूप वर्ष झाले आहेत. मराठी बोलणं सोपं आहे पण लिहीणं कठीण. :-D

मैत्रीण

(Shamelessly copied from Orkut)

एक तरी मैत्रीण असावी
बाईकवर मागे बसावी
जुनी हीरो होंडा सुद्धा मग
करिझ्माहून झकास दिसावी !

एक तरी मैत्रीण असावी
चारचौघीत उठून दिसावी
बोलली नाही तरी निदान
समोर बघून गोड हसावी !

एक तरी मैत्रीण असावी
कधीतरी सोबत फिरावी
दोघांना एकत्र पाहून
गल्लीतल्या सगळ्या पोरांची जिरावी !

एक तरी मैत्रीण असावी
जिच्याशी निर्मळ संवाद असावा
कधीतरी छोट्या भांडणाचा
एखादाच अपवाद असावा..

एक तरी मैत्रीण असावी
आयुष्याच्या अनोळखी वळणावर
तुमच्या व्यथा वेदनांवर
तिने घालावी हळूच फुंकर..

एक तरी मैत्रीण असावी
जिच्या मैत्रीत विश्वास रुजावा
तुमचासुद्धा खांदा कधी
तिच्या दुःखाने भिजावा..

एक तरी मैत्रीण असावी
चांदणीसारखी मैत्रीच्या आकाशात
मित्रांचे दिवे मावळले म्हणजे
चालावं पुढे तिच्याच प्रकाशात...

Marathi/Hindi transliteration in instant messenging

I had been trying to make some Marathi transliteration tool for email sometime back.
Although that work stalled, recently I came across one plugin for Gaim which converted English to Tamil.
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1417844&group_id=235&atid=390395)

I was able to modify the plugin for Marathi/Hindi using Varun's (author of original plugin) help.

I have released first version of this plugin for Gaim 1.5.0 on Windows and Linux.

Please read README and transliteration legend for instructions.

The plugin can be found at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1430489&group_id=235&atid=390395

Please try this plugin and mail me your comments and suggestions.

Acknowledgements:
1. Varun, for original idea, helping me understand Gaim API used and implement some additional logic.
2. First victims of some (un)readable Marathi/Hindi messages - Debajit, Shrinand, Himanshu, Rahul and Varun (although he doesn't understand Hindi at all).
3. Shridhar Ratna (whose 8085 simulator project I took over) for giving inspiration to Varun for original plugin.
4. Last but not least, Gaim team for such a wonderful software.


I hope these plugins make their way into Gaim and be a compelling feature for using Gaim.

Partner

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Translation for those who don't understand Marathi)

Read 'Partner' by V. P. Kale. One more addition to list of good books.
There is a difference between P. L. Deshpande & V. P. Kale, also there is one similarity.

Stories by P. L. are based on pure harmless humour. The characters seem very familiar. It feels like we have met them.

Stories by V. P. are based on events in day today life. There is less humour and more harsh truth. The pains of characters are really true. It feels like 'this can happen to me'.

Both have one similarity. Both make the characters really live.

I was lucky to hear V. P. in college annual gathering. 'Baap' and 'Gargi Parasnis' stories were really good.
Planning to buy books 'Sakhi' & 'Vapurza' soon.
