About this book

स्वर म्हणजे ते उच्चार, जे स्वतंत्र असतात, उच्चार विलंबित धरून ठेवला, तरी तो बदलत नाही. म्हणा 'ओ'   आणि १० सेकंद धरून ठेवा. सुरुवातीपासून शेवटपर्यंत उच्चारात काही फरक पडला का ? तर नाही. उच्चार सुरुवातीपासून शेवटपर्यंत 'ओ'च राहतो की नाही? आता 'ओ'ऐवजी 'बो' म्हणा आणि १० सेकंद तो सलग धरून ठेवा. आता काय होतं ? सुरुवातीच्या 'बो'नंतर क्षणात 'बो' या उच्चाराचा 'ओ' होतो आणि तो 'ओ' अगदी शेवटपर्यंत राहतो. म्हणजे 'ब'च्या पूर्ण उच्चाराला 'अ'च्या बाराखडीचं साहाय्य लागतं ! म्हणून 'अ'ची बाराखडी हे स्वर आणि 'क', 'ख', 'ग', 'घ'पासून शेवटी 'ज्ञ'पर्यंतचे सर्व उच्चार; अक्षरं, ज्यांना स्वरांचं साहाय्य लागतं, त्यांना व्यंजनं म्हणतात.

 

A Swara (vowel) is a sound that is independent. Even if the sound is held for a long time, it does not change. For example, say “O” and hold it for 10 seconds. From start to finish, does the pronunciation change? No. The sound remains “O” throughout.

Now, instead of “O,” say “Bo” and hold it continuously for 10 seconds. What happens? After the initial “B,” the sound of “Bo” quickly turns into “O,” and it stays “O” until the end. This shows that the full pronunciation of “B” requires the support of the vowel “A.”

Therefore, the alphabet of vowels (A’s barakhadi) are called Swara, and all the sounds from “Ka,” “Kha,” “Ga,” “Gha” up to “Gya” that require the support of a vowel are called Vyanjani (consonants).

स्वर व्यंजनीचा उगम

माझं पाचवं आणि एकुलतं एक संपूर्ण इंग्लिश पुस्तक 'Grandpa Baba Rhymes' पुण्यात प्रकाशित केल्यानंतर काही दिवसांनी 'मेनका प्रकाशन'चे अमित टेकाळे त्यांच्या सुविद्य पत्नीसह भेटायला आले होते.

आमच्या चौघांच्या हलक्या फुलक्या गप्पागोष्टी संपता संपताच अमितने एक पिल्लू सोडलं, म्हणाला, 'आपल्या मराठी शाळांत शिकणाऱ्या ६ ते १२ वयोगटांतल्या मुलांमुलींसाठी सुद्धा अशाच कविता रचा, असंच एक पुस्तक तयार करा. त्याची आता खास गरज आहे.'

पुढच्या चार-पाच दिवसात आम्ही अमेरिकेला प्रणालीच्या घरी जायला निघणार होतो. म्हणून त्या घटकेला 'परत आल्यावर नक्की करू या' असं मी म्हणालो; पण अमितने जणू माझ्या मनाला त्या क्षणी जबरदस्त फूस लावली होती. जे मायदेशी परतल्यावर करणार होतो, त्याची सुरुवात अमेरिकेत उतरल्याबरोबरच झाली होती आणि साडेतीन महिन्यांनंतर नव्या कवितांचं बाड घेऊनच मी मायभूमीवर परतीचं पाऊल ठेवलं होतं.

शाळेतल्या विद्यार्थ्यांसाठी नवीन कवितांची गरज आहे, हे मी कधीच जाणलं होतं, म्हणून तर इंग्लिश माध्यमातल्या विद्यार्थ्यांसाठी मी त्या rhymes रचल्या होत्या. भारत स्वतंत्र झाल्यानंतर आजतागायत ७५ वर्ष उलटली; पण अजूनही इंग्लिश माध्यमातली लहान मुलं ब्रिटिशांनी भारतात आणलेल्या अतिशय

निरर्थक rhymes (ring-aring a roses, twin-kle twinkle little star, rain rain go away) म्हणत असतात. म्हणून तर मी माझं नव्या rhymes चं पुस्तक तयार केलं होतं.

आताची आमची तिसरी पिढी अतिशय बुद्धिमान,

Origin of Swara and Vyanjani

A few days after I published my fifth and only complete English book, Grandpa Baba Rhymes, in Pune, Amit Tekale of Menaka Prakashan came to meet me along with his learned wife. After our light and casual conversation ended, Amit dropped a little suggestion, saying, “Create similar rhymes for children aged 6 to 12 studying in Marathi schools. Prepare a book like this. There is a special need for it now.”

A few days later, we were going to America to visit Pranali’s home. So, I said, “We will definitely do this after we return.” But Amit had, in that moment, planted a powerful idea in my mind. What I had planned to do after returning to India began the moment I landed in America, and three and a half months later, I returned to my homeland with a bundle of new poems.

I had always known that there was a need for new poems for schoolchildren, which is why I had created rhymes for students in English-medium schools. Even though 75 years have passed since India gained independence, young children in English-medium schools are still learning highly meaningless rhymes brought to India by the British (like Ring-a-ring o’ roses, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Rain Rain Go Away). That is why I prepared my new book of rhymes.

Our current third generation is extremely intelligent…
