एक चित्तथरारक पाठलाग

जुलै २०१०. खूप छान पाउस पडत होता. माझे गाव सफाळे अगदी नव्या नवरी सारखे हिरवा शालू नेसून पावसात चिंब-चिंब भिजत होते. सुट्टीचा दिवस होता त्यामुळे मी देखील निवांत चहा पीत पावसाचा आनंद घेत होतो. तेवढ्यात मुंबईच्या एका मित्राचा फोन आला. मित्र: हेलो, कसा आहेस ? काय चालू आहे ?मी: अरे मजेत आहे. तू बोल आज कशी काय…
