My mother tongue Marathi
As tough as walking in the space
Rarely used correctly currently
At strife with users' wor(l)d w(e)ary de-signs
To get along in the wor(l)d of 'mean' monies
High hopes still linger of its rejuvenation
In the AI age of 'anima'ted communication!
Pratima@ Yet again would there be litanies and paeans to Marathi and its glorious past. Yet again would there be angry debates regarding why Marathi is not granted the 'classical' status. Yet again would there be decorative declarations with quasi-poetic flourishes. The dream of making it a language of knowledge like English and centrally relevant to lives like Hebrew would linger on like a wraith without a wreath! Long live the Marathi Day!
माझी मराठी 'मिळते' मला केवळ पुस्तकांत/आजूबाजूच्या उन्मादी भाषा संकरात/गुदमरलेला तिचा आत्मा/तिचीच पोरेटोरे प्रतिक्षणि करती तिचाच खात्मा!
