THE SELF AND THE STRUCTURE

The self and the structure is a course towards developing practice of thinking, processing and organizing fragments, objects, material, data and the other.

In this allied course we studied some practices to understand organizational structures. The practice that I studied was "DAHI HANDI PATHAK"

Initially we started talking to people and coach of the different dahi handi groups .we collected information of 4 different groups and categories them from larger to smaller group then further we started maping there travelling route on the day of dahi handi and then started writing some stories,conversation about them.



The naik’s were setting up their beds to end the tiring day, on the other hand Sunil was ready for the most joyous part of the day. As the clock struck 10 he knew it was the time to forget all his work and head directly to the ground. He wore his jersey and was searching for all his accessories while the family had just accepted his passion for the sport. He stepped out of the house and shouted, “Pakya, Sushil , Sameer chala re ani yetana chotu la pan gheun ya aaj .” And they all started moving towards the ground together. On the way sushil talking to his son, “Knee cap ani helmet getles na nahi tar sir oradtel.”Until then Kamlesh joined and was talking on the phone with the corporator,


K : Amhi tumchya event la yeyce ki nhi udya ?


C: Aho tumchya sarkha mothey mandal amchya event la nhi aleh tar kaseh chalel


K: Pan amchya mandhana che kay ?


C: Tumchey mandal amchya saathi khup mahatvachey ahe pan amhi tumhala handi phodayla deu sakat nhi


K : Pan amhi 9 thar lau ki tumchya venue la gardi hoil heh baghayla


C : Hoh pan amhi dar varshi Jai govinda Dahi handi pathkala deto amchi handi, karan teh pawar siranchey avadtey ahet , tumhi salaami sathi ya apan mandhana chey baghu kay karayche teh.


K: Chalel amhi salaami saathi yeu faktey.


Sunil firmly said, “kahi garaj nahey naaven lokan chi aplyala aple amdar patil saheb aapli kalji ghetil. Apan practice kadhey lakshey deuya.” And then he shouted for everyone to come together and instantly they started murmuring the prayer before they started practicing.

“Chala sagle ata eka lainit ubhe raha. Aaj saglyan chey weight mi ani Pankaj check karnar ahe.” Some of them started forming que around the table set on one of the corners of the huge land. While some of them until then started warming up and others were talking to the dhol tasha pathak who were getting tuned for tomorrow's main event. Swapnil says

“Kay re mulano jhali ka udya chi tayari, sagle gharatun baher yeun baghayla pahije.” A person from the group says “hoh kaka tumhi bagha atta amhi kaseh vajto teh.” As soon as he finishes his sentence within a min he instructs his group to start and the music starts playing. Hearing the melody the kids and all the other group members couldn't hold their excitement and they started dancing together. Until then Sunil saw Sahil running towards the ground in excitement. He asked , kay re aaj late kesah jhala yayla. He was trying to catch his breath while removing his shoes and bag and said, Sir aaj 9:10 ki Andheri local miss hogayi, Virar mai bohot gaardi thi. Sunil smirked and whistled for everyone to gather and get ready with their head gears onn. The group started dividing , the base supporters started forming a circle in the center while others were applying soil on their hands . “Chala re pahilya tharachi mule varti chadha”, Pankaj shouted. Sir aaj Rupesh nhi ala, kal tyachya payala lagle hotey to udya pan nhi khelu saknar, as soon as Deepak finishes this sentence, Rupesh enters through the ground gate along with a fractured foot .Tu ethe kasa alas, pankaj frantically asked while the practice came to a halt and all eyes moved towards Rupesh.

(Yesterday during the practice session rupesh was climbing to reach the third tier and while doing that due to loss of grip, his hand slipped from the shoulder of the person below and he lost his balance due to which the pyramid became unstable and everyone fell down on rupesh. Due to which he had dislocated his joint. The group rushed him to the nearest nursing home. And they got to know that he had a minor crack on his ankle joint due to which he had to get a plaster on his right foot. Thus now he will be unable to continue the practice and won't be able to participate in the competition.) Sir mi tumchey paise dyayla aloh ahe, Rupesh said, handing over an envelope to Panakaj. Tula mahit ahe na aplya pathkat jar konala lagle tar tyancey purneh kharchey mandal kartey. Mag he paise kashala anles, said Sunil while handing over the money back to Rupesh.
