चांदण जरी तेच असलं,
रात्र अगदी नवीन आहे...
आयुष्य मात्र एकदाच का ?
हा प्रश्न जरा कठीण आहे.....🍁

[Mohini Maheshwari @mohinimaheshwa]

On the night of May 20, 2025, a little girl in a faded pink frock fell asleep on her mother’s lap at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Her parents, simple people from Solapur, had come to Mumbai for her father’s treatment. They were exhausted. Just for a moment, the mother closed her eyes.

When she opened them, her daughter was gone.

Six months.
Six months of walking from police station to police station.
Six months of showing the same crumpled photograph to strangers on trains, in slums, in orphanages.
Six months of the father not sleeping, the mother not eating, both of them growing hollow-eyed, whispering the same name into the dark: “Aarohi… Aarohi…”

In Varanasi, a thousand kilometres away, a tiny girl with no memory of her real name was learning to call herself “Kashi.” She had been found crying near the railway tracks in June, barefoot and terrified. The orphanage gave her food, a bed, and a new name. She smiled easily, because children always do, but sometimes at night she clutched the edge of her blanket and asked for “Aai” — Marathi for mother — and no one understood.

Back in Mumbai, the police refused to close the file. They printed posters with Aarohi’s face, stuck them on every platform from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus to Bhusawal to Varanasi Cantt. They ran newspaper ads, knocked on doors, begged journalists for help. Six months is a long time for hope to stay alive, but some officers carried her photograph in their shirt pockets like it was their own child.

Then, on November 13, a local reporter in Varanasi saw the poster. Something clicked. He had seen a girl who spoke Marathi words in her sleep. He made a phone call.

The next morning, a Mumbai Police inspector sat in front of a laptop in Varanasi and opened a video call. On the screen appeared a little girl in a pink frock — the same colour she was wearing the day she vanished. The mother, standing behind the officer in Mumbai, saw her daughter and collapsed without a sound. The father just kept repeating, “That’s my Aarohi… that’s my baby…”

They flew her back on Children’s Day — November 14.

When the plane landed, the entire Mumbai Crime Branch was waiting. They had bought her balloons and a new frock, sky blue this time. But the moment the little girl stepped out and saw the sea of khaki uniforms, she did something no one expected.

She ran.

Not away — toward them.

Tiny legs pumping, arms outstretched, she threw herself at the nearest officer and laughed — the purest, clearest laugh that had been missing from the world for half a year. The officer, a tough man who had seen everything, felt his eyes burn. He lifted her high, and she wrapped her arms around his neck like he was family.

Her parents were crying too hard to walk. So the policemen carried their daughter to them.

The mother touched her face again and again, as if checking she was real. The father fell to his knees and pressed his forehead to his child’s tiny feet, sobbing words no one could understand except God.

And the little girl? She just kept smiling, looking from her parents to the officers and back again, completely unaware that she had turned an entire police station into a sobbing, laughing, praying family.

Six months of darkness ended in one hug.

Aarohi is home now.
The kidnapper is still out there, but that is tomorrow’s fight.

Today, a mother is singing lullabies again.
Today, a father is smiling in his sleep.
And somewhere in Mumbai, there are policemen who will never forget the weight of a four-year-old girl in their arms — the weight of an entire life returned.

Sometimes the uniform doesn’t just catch thieves.
Sometimes it carries lost children all the way back to their mothers’ hearts.

0.25 मार्क.. ही फक्त त्याचीच चूक आहे?🤷🏻‍♂️🚨

ज्या गावात भारताला स्वातंत्र्य मिळाल्या नंतरपण आतापर्यंत एकदाही ST बस आली नाही.
जिथे सरकारी सुविधा नावाला पण नाहीत,
जिथे ग्रंथालय म्हणजे दूरदूर पर्यंत संबंध नाही..

जिल्हा परिषदेच्या शाळेत प्राथमिक शिक्षण, तर गावच्या  समाज मंदिरात -  ��ारुतीच्या देवळाच्या पटांगणात माध्यमिक विद्यालयातून शिक्षण पूर्ण केलेला, 

अंधारात उभ्या चिरागाच्या उजेडात अधिकारी होण्याचं स्वप्नं पेटवणारा माझा अत्यंत जवळचा मित्र.

8- 10 वर्ष स्वतःला तयारी करण्यात स्वतःला जाळलं त्याने…
कोणाचं लग्न,कार्यक्रम, सन - सुद सगळं सोडून फक्त अभ्यासच त्याचं लक्ष होतं..
काहीही करून राज्यसेवा परीक्षा काढायची हेच त्याचं ध्येय होतं.

परवा MPSC Mains 2025 चा निकाल लागला, लोकांचे स्टेटस दिसू लागले ह्याचं-त्याचं सिलेक्शन झालं अभिनंदन म्हणून.🚨

ह्याचं काय झालं असेल ही हुरहूर मनाला लागली, आजुन त्याचा फोन नाही किंवा मेसेज पण नाही.त्याला फोन केला आणि विचारलं.

त्याचं बोलणं ��कून अंगावर काटा आला आणि काळजात चर्र झालं.!🥺

त्या परीक्षेमधे त्याला 489.75 मार्क्स मिळाले. आणि SEBC (मराठा) कटऑफ 490 मार्क्सचा लागला!🥲
फरक?
फक्त 0.25 मार्क कमी पडले!विश्वास न बसण्यासारखं होतं सगळं..

OBC कटऑफ — 485, EWS — 445
म्हणजे त्याच्यापेक्षा कमी गुण असलेले आज मुलाखती साठी पात्र झालेत!
आणि हा?
जात सांगून घरी बसवलाय!
हे काही पहिल्यांदाच झालं नव्हतं…
याआधीही 0.25 मार्कने "नगरपरिषद ची करनिर्धरण" ची पोस्ट हाता��ून निसटली होती.

दरवर्षी धावपट्टीवर शेवटच्या सेकंदाला टांगलेल्या स्वप्नांचा पराभव…
पण तरीही जीव तोडून लढणारा हा सैनिक!

काय चुकी केली त्याने?
मराठा म्हणून जन्म घेतला?
हा गुन्हा आहे का?

एका तरुणाने आपलं तारुण्य पुस्तकात जाळलं,
आणि व्यवस्था मात्र त्याच्या जातीत मशाली शोधत बसली!
हि फक्त माझ्या मित्राची व्यथा नाही… 
ही व्यवस्थेच्या अपयशाची कथाही आहे!

0.25 मार्क म्हणजे फक्त एक आकडा नाही…
एका बालपणापासून सजवलेल्या स्वप्नांची हत्या आहे!

To the cinephiles and the global audience,
Dhaivaradhane stands as a profound symbol of faith and cultural pride within Tulunadu, the coastal region of Karnataka. Our films, Kantara and Kantara Chapter-1, were created with the purpose of respectfully portraying this devotion and celebrating the glory of the Daivas . We have strived tirelessly to ensure that the profound respect and unwavering devotion central to Dhaivaradhane were honoured, successfully spreading the significance and heritage of the Tulu soil with the world.
We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming positive response. However, we have observed that certain individuals have been imitating the Daiva characters from the movie and engaging in inappropriate behaviour in public spaces and gatherings.
Dhaivaradhane or Daiva worship, as featured in our film, is rooted in deep spiritual tradition and is not intended for performance or casual mimicry. Such acts amount to trivializing our belief system and deeply hurt the religious sentiments and faith of the Tulu community.
Hombale Films therefore makes a strong and sincere appeal to the public and audiences to refrain from any act that involves imitating, mimicking, or trivializing the Daiva personas—whether in cinema halls or in public places.
The sacred nature of Dhaivaradhane must always be upheld. We urge all citizens to recognize the spiritual importance of these portrayals and act responsibly, ensuring that the devotion we sought to celebrate is never compromised or treated lightly.
We appreciate your continued support and cooperation in preserving the sanctity of this invaluable cultural heritage.
