Today is the 133rd birth anniversary of the legendary Marathi stage actor and singer Narayan Shripad Rajhans (popularly known as #Balgandharva). 
"पुण्यातल्या बालगंधर्व रंगमंदीराच्या उदघाटन प्रसंगी एक गीत हवे होते,पु.लं नी पंचवटी गाठली व गदिमांनी गीत दिले
"जसा जन्मतो तेज घेऊन तारा!
जसा मोर घेऊन येतो पिसारा!
तसा येई घेऊन कंठात गाणे!
असा बालगंधर्व आता न होणे!"
पु.लं नी याला संगीत दिले..."

If you still haven't, highly recommend watching the excellent Marathi film 'Balgandharva' (2011) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balgandha… that chronicles his life.

Today is the 100th birth anniversary of the great Purushottam Laxman Deshpande - one of the most beloved personalities of the Marathi speaking world.
He was often affectionately referred to just by his initials, 'P.L.' or 'Pu La'.
#PuLa was born in Mumbai on November 8, 1919.

#PuLa was born in Mumbai on November 8, 1919.
#PuLa was not just an author and a humorist; but also an actor, a musician, a filmmaker, a rationalist, a science enthusiast and much more.
He wrote how Shivaji Maharaj, Tilak, Balgandharva are the most loved personalities of Maharashtra. I think Pu La also belongs to that list.

#PuLa studied at Parle Tilak Vidyalaya, and later at Fergusson College in Pune. He spent many years of his life in Mumbai and later on in Pune. He also briefly worked in Delhi, in the early days of Doordarshan.
I think first and foremost, he was a keen observer of people.
