ಮರೆತ ಕನಸು
ಕೊಂಚವೂ ನೆನಪಿಲ್ಲ
ಹೊಂಗನಸೇ ಇರಬಹುದು
ಎದ್ದಾಗ ಮುಖ ಅರಳಿತ್ತು
ಏನಿರಬಹುದು ಆ ಮರೆತ ಕನಸು
ಜ್ಞಾಪಕ ಇರಬೇಕಿತ್ತು.
ಅಲೆಲ್ಲೋ ಹುದುಗಿದೆ ಮಸ್ತಕದೊಳಗೆ
ಯಾವುದೋ ಬಣ್ಣದ
ಯಾವುದೋ ಹೂಗಳ
ರಾಶಿ ತುಂಬಿದ
ಆಗಷ್ಟೇ ಕರಗಿದ ಮಂಜಿನ ಹನಿಗಳ
ಬೆಟ್ಟದ ಕಣಿವೆ
ನಾ ಕಂಡಿದ್ದು ಇದೇನಾ?
ಅಥವಾ ಮನೆಮಂದಿಯೊಂದಿಗೆ
ಮಗುವಾಗಿ ಆಟವಾಡಿದ ಕನಸಾ?
ಇಲ್ಲ ಇದೇ ಇರಬಹುದು
ಬದುಕಿನ ದಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ
ಈವರೆಗೂ ಕಾದು
ಸಿಕ್ಕ ಆ ಕೈಗಳ ಹಿಡಿದು
ನಡೆದ ನೆನಪು
ನನ್ನ ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲೇ ಇದ್ದಳು
ತುಸು ನಕ್ಕು, ಹುಸಿ ಕೋಪ
ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತುಂಟಾಟ
ಯಾರೂ ಬರದ ಸಣ್ಣ ಓಣಿಯಲ್ಲಿ
ಮುಸು ಮುಸು ಮುಂಜಾನೆ
ಬಂಗಾರದ ಎಲೆಗಳನ್ನು ಮೆಟ್ಟುತ್ತ
ಹೋದಂತ ಅನುಭವ
ಮಂಜಿನ ಹನಿಗಳು
ಅವಳ ಮೊಗವ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶಿಸಲು
ವಜ್ರದಂತೆ ಹೊಳೆಯುವ ಆ ಕಂಗಳ ನೋಡುತ್ತಾ
ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾ ಇರುವ
ಕನಸೇ
ನಾ ಮರೆತ ಕನಸಾಗಿರಲಿ

Eclipsed Super Blue Blood Moon
ಸಿಡಿದಿದ್ದಳು,
ಹುಸಿಮುನಿಸಿನಿಂದ ಕೆನ್ನೆ ಕೆಂಪೇರಿತ್ತು.
ನಾಚಿದ್ದಳು
ಕಾಲ್ಬೆರಳಲ್ಲಿ ಗುಂಡಿ ತೋಡುತ್ತ
ಪರದೆಯ ಹಿಂದೆ ನಿಂತು
ಕದ್ದು ಕದ್ದು ನೋಡುತಿದ್ದಳು.
ನಸುನಕ್ಕಿ ಬಾ ಎಂದೆ.
ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಮೇಲೊಂದು ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಹಾಕುತ್ತ
ಅವಿತಿದ್ದ ಮುಸುಕಿನಿಂದ ಆಚೆ ಬಂದಳು
ನನ್ನ ಇಂದಿರಾ ಇಂದು
ಪೂರ್ಣ ಚಂದಿರನಂತೆ
ಕಂಗೊಳಿಸುತಿದ್ದಳು

Light House
“So kids, school time?” asked the old lady as she passed the bunch of school kids.
“Yes ajji” , they said and enquired, ” have you ever been to school?”
“No kids, we were not fortunate enough to go to one”
“Ayyo, paapa ajji , so much learning you missed”
“I know”
“If you had gone to school, you would be intelligent like us”
The old lady smiled and said” Don’t worry about me. You kids study well ”
“Sure, bye ajji”.
Yet another day passed where Sharada ajji was proud of establishing “Sharadha High School”.

Stranger things.
OK, that
title was just to get you interested. It’s nothing to do with that popular
series. Here’s some strange things that happened to me yesterday.
Fineapple Juice.
I slowed
down near this pineapple/mosambi juice stall at the side of the road while he
removed the red cloth from the manual juicer. Slowly I got down and when I was
sure none of them from my area are nearby ordered a glass of pineapple juice.
While he
started pressing it against the machine and turned the juicer handle, I
observed a tired looking poor guy nearby standing with his back against the
wall. I just felt sorry for that guy and thought why not order another glass
for him. By this time my drink arrived and I sipped it. It was great. He had
added more sugar to make it great but I was OK with it. All this while he kept looking
at me
I finished my drink and then approached this
poor guy and politely asked if he would like to have some juice of his choice.
He smiled
and asked which juice I would prefer if I was given that option. Not to sound
rude I replied that if I had to buy again I would buy mosambi one as I already
drank the pineapple one.
He shouted,
“Chotu, ek mosambi bana dena”
I was happy
coz he had obliged and just when I was about to pay they both saw each other
and exchanged smiles.
It was then
I realized that the “poor” guy was actually the owner of this stall and he was
so touched by the fact that I was buying juice for some stranger , he decided
to gift me a free one :)
This was
God rewarding me at 5G speed.
“Tender”
coconut
“How much
for one?”, I asked pointing to the tender coconut .
Mannu
showed 3 fingers and made sounds.
I realized he
was mute but did not change my expression to sympathy or otherwise and just
asked him to give one.
After
drinking I took out two twenty rupees note and offered him.
He said ,
in his sign language , that he has no change.
I checked
my purse again but could not find any . So just like that I signaled him to
keep that extra ten rupees.
He kept it
and just as I was about to leave he made sounds asking me to stop. Then he
picked out a smaller one and offered it. I was quite sure he picked it from the
Rs.10/- ones. I felt this was win-win. Drank it happily. To my surprise, it had
as much coconut water as the previous one. I thanked him and left. As I turned
my vehicle and went in front of his stall I gave him a glance of gratitude.
He smiled
and the board from where he had taken that smaller tender coconut read:
Rs.20/-

Mirage
(Another picture and another story with less than 100 words)
*Tring, Tring*
“Hello”
No voice from the other side. He knew it was not a connection problem. It was her. She wasn’t speaking but it was her.
His heart started beating fast. He waited to hear that voice which he missed for a long time now.
The phone disconnected.

Had not talked to her after she left him

“Tring Tring”

Happiness
A friend of mine asked me to write a story within 100 words based on the picture he had taken and this is what I wrote :)
“Honey, shall I buy this happiness?”, She asked excitedly.
He smiled, “It’s not happiness. And even if it is, it’s momentary.”
“I don’t mind”, she nagged
“You don’t mind now, but later, that pinch of sadness will burst all the happiness out of it.”, he replied.
She got curious. “Sadness, what type of sadness?”

The Astrologer - 2
"Oops, I am sorry, really sorry"
Riding on an empty road at a relatively high speed the kid
had apparently lost control,tried to apply brakes but still managed to hit the
Astrologer.
Not much damage.
The Astrologer was unfazed .
He smiled,"Whats your name kid?"
“Satyavaan”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You have 3 daughters and no sons", said
the Astrologer with a glint of spark in his eyes.
The family had utmost devotion to God and Gurujis but what
he said was unbelievable.
How could he possibly say that with so much of confidence?
The eldest daughter tried to speak when the astrologer said
sternly,"Girls need to know how to behave".
She kept quiet.
He continued.
"I know you are in a deep problem, your financial
situation is not so good"
The lady of the house still looked confused. Scared.
"And so God has sent me to solve your problems”,
This brought a sense of relief on her face.
He dipped Tulsi leaves in a jar he had brought along, and then
sprinkled it on the mother daughter duo.
They bowed their head in complete devotion.
And then he started off," Poverty and daughters when
combined are the biggest threat to parents. I know you are struggling to marry
off your daughters. Your husband, who has left you from many years, whom you
think will come anytime, will never return. I am now your only saving grace.
"
The mother looked at him with devotion, speechless.
The daughter shrugged at his blabbering as she was not
allowed to speak.
"All you have to do is this. In the name of God, give
me the chain gifted by your mother during your marriage and I shall perform a
special Pooja for you. Within twenty days all your problems will be solved. I
will say no more"
The mother slowly got up, still recovering from her shock. She
went to the room, came back empty handed and said:
"Guruji, I do not have the chain with me now. Poverty
has made me take a loan out of it. I am helpless now. Please do forgive me for this!”
The Guruji said nothing.
He got up, sprinkled Tulsi water again and left.
The mother looked at him confused.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramesh came home at his usual time to home. As he had bought
sweets for his kids, on the way caught his son, Satyavaan cycling and brought
him home too.
His wife was preparing tea. As soon as she heard him, she
was relieved.
Ramesh saw beads of stress on her forehead and signed asking
what happened.
She broke down.
"All my life I have prayed to every God and Gurujis
and what happened today has shattered them all !!"
Now it was his turn to get confused.
She continued,
"Today a Guruji had come to our house...and
"
The eldest daughter now pitched in…
"And he said Amma has three daughters and no sons!! Ha
ha , He did not tell about Satyavaan only !!
Also he said we are poor. Doesn’t he know we own this house
and a farm!! Fraud Guruji!!”
"Not only that, " mom added," He
said you left us many years ago and would never return"
Things were getting clear now!!
Ramesh asked, " So how much did you pay him for all
this nonsense"
"Nothing, he asked for some gold chain which my mom
gifted me on my marriage!! Whatta lie, she gifted me only bangles. I told him I
don’t have it now and sent him away”
Ramesh was relaxed now. Nothing was lost.
He saw Satyavaan munching away sweets happily, without a
care in this world.
Both the parents smiled looking at him.
Slowly he gulped down the last piece, lifted his head and
said,
" I am sorry, I hit that guy with a cycle today
morning.
Though he did not scold, as a punishment he said I have
to answer some of his questions."
Then??Everyone looked at him, curious of what happened.
"Then what, he pointed at our house and asked some
questions, I wanted to get away from him and play and told whatever I came in
my mind."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM??" Ramesh thundered!!
"Well, whatever I said Astrologer told to Amma and Akka
and they have already told you...”, Saying this Satyavaan hopped away..

Nation Gets to Know
For
those who do not know PunyakoTi, one of the folklore of Karnataka, here is the
story
“PunyakoTi was one of the many cows which were returning home
after grazing in the idle pastures close by a dense forest. The poor cow got
lost and strayed deep into the jungle. Suddenly she found herself at an eating
distance from the evil tiger that lived in the forest. Smacking its lips and
swishing its tail, the tiger looked hungry and ready to pounce when all of a
sudden the mortified cow found her tongue. "I have a small calf waiting
for me back home. He would be hungry by now and I need to feed him. Will you
please let me go home and feed him? I promise to come back after he is
fed." The great cat was bemused. Would any prey really come back to be
eaten? But PunyakoTi persisted. "I believe Truth to be my close family.
The gods will not be pleased if I go back on my promise. So, no matter what, I
shall come back. Please let me go now." Well, the tiger relented and let PunyakoTi
go her way.
Lore has it
that PunyakoTi does come back to the tiger. Standing before his den she calls
out to him-"Here I am evil one. Come, partake me." The tiger, Arbudha, was touched by her honesty and moved to
tears. In great remorse and realization, the tiger asks for forgiveness and
jumps off the cliff to death. PunyakoTi returned to the cowshed happily “
The
moral of this was that truth and honesty is always rewarded..he parting of the
cow and the calf, the sacrifice of the tiger always brought tears in my eyes as
a kid.
But
today, many years later Arbudha Cowswamy got a question: What exactly happened
that day. The only account he had was from the cows. Had he uncovered all
facts?
Unable
to control his curiosity, he went into the middle of Dharani Mandala , to
Karnata, where it all happened and invited everyone he met ,to his show
“Frankly squeaking with Arbudha Cowswamy”
After
all even the Nation wanted to know.
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Thank you all very much
for joining us. I looked forward to meeting you and talking to you for a very
long time. I wanted to talk to you when all the cows were making merry. And now
have found you. Without wasting much time, let me start away with the interview.So
miss Kekda Kapoor, what do you have to say about this short story?
Kekda
Kapoor : We did not had the concept of mega serials then. Once a person dies
in our story, he stays dead. No rebirth and all that bullshit. Why we killed it
in the story? Well, people like tragedy. And good over evil things has good
market value.
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Excuse me miss Kekda, I specifically asked for the comments on
the moral and not on the length of the story. The question for the day is : Was
the tiger justified in jumping off the cliff. Why did it do so? Our animal
activist CraneAkka Gandhi would like to pour her thoughts.
CraneAkka
Gandhi : I seriously felt that tiger should have been saved. Already we have
such less tiger count in India, and if tigers die for all such reasons, how can
we even save them !!
Arbudha
Cowswamy: Very good point miss CraneAkka, the question stays the same
though.
Dinku
Donkey : Well , the problem is this , It was a carnivorous animal. Now that
it could not eat the cow, it would anyways die of hunger as it could not eat
grass. So it jumped.
Arbudha
Cowswamy: Your point is not making sense Mr. Dinku. If it did not want to
eat the cow, it could just leave the place. Eat some other animal who was not
so truthful. The ones in politics for example. Kaalia the crow, you would like
to add?
Kaalia
: How can you say that the tiger jumped. Did anyone see it jumping? I
seriously feel that it was the cow which tricked it to go to the hill top and
then pushed it. Motherly love for the calf you see!
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Now that’s some serious allegation Mr.Kaalia .Do you agree with
Kaalia?
JumboJaani
: That is rubbish. Cows are gentle animals and non-violent ones. My guess is
, just as I do, it saw the food being delivered at doorstep and jumped in joy.
But instead of in joy there was a deep valley behind it. Foolish tiger.
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Different people different thoughts. Some say our hero : PunyakoTi
is a murderer and some the tiger foolish. Was PunyakoTi really a hero? Cheeku
–Meeku , your views?
Cheeku
: If PunyakoTi was a hero , why did she not save the dying tiger .How could
she return “Happily”? These cows are so
selfish .
Meeku
: Oh yeah, How come the tiger is the villain in the story when he did not
touch the cow, trusted the cow, did not eat it and sacrificed its life. Same as
Raavan case. He should be the hero.
Cheeku
: Yaa, which means it should be as famous as PunyakoTi. But this media
focused only on this issue. Does anyone even remember that tiger name?
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Its name is Arbudha. Not so famous though.
GulluJackal
: I still stand by what Kaalia said. PunyakoTi was Aryan and the tiger was Dravidian. Aryans
wanted to kill Dravidians and establish supremacy .
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Oh, Oh, Oh.
SillySom
: Oh now I get it .That’s why Sandalwood SRK , the Dravidian did a movie
called Aryan and made it to flop as revenge!!
GulluJackal: Oye , Bollywood SRK has named his son
Aryan too. Co-incidence?
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Guys please don’t divert the topic.
OneDana
: No, as per media reports the cow tried to convince it seems. Tiger did not
listen.
GulluJackal : Who is your source? Some wretched
cow-worshipping evil Hindu right? Go and check with liberals. They will tell
the truth
OneDana
: The tiger felt guilty and it died. Case closed.
Psychologist
Paaro : So , it looks like the tiger was under depression and had suicidal
tendencies.
GulluJackal : What tendencies?? How did it decide that
it was wrong? For it eating non-veg was not an option. It was a natural
requirement.
KaaTaal
Naagraj : ItihAsavannu tiruchalAgide! History has been twisted.
Maravind
Kej : Sab mile hue hai ji
Sakth
Yadav : Blame the tiger. Cows will be Cows
Arbudha
Cowswamy : Khamosh…. Psychologist Paaro, you were telling something.
Psychologist
Paaro : Yes, Cow is right does not make tiger wrong. Dying just because
someone is right sends a wrong message. We need to change the story. Change it
to say that suicide is not the solution for guilt.
Arbudha Cowswam: Well Everyone you have been very frank, you were polite but without
doubt, those watching this interview will have one thing to say that you have
diverse views, each correct from their angle. For going through what you did,
for putting out what you did at that point of time I think the country owes you
a debt of gratitude. It was my honour to
speak to you all today. Thank you.
Within
2 days the story ending was changed.
“"You are great!"he exclaimed. "I cannot eat such
a truthful and noble animal as you. You are my own sister. Go, PunyakoTi – go
back to your child!"And he turned and walked away without a backward
glance. Arbudha and PunyakoTi were equally blessed.

The Unlikely Hero
“The MD wants to meet you”
It’s not every day the managing director of a company would
like to meet someone from his office. Even if they did they would not be
someone as small as a security guy.
“Ramanna, The MD wants to meet you”, shouted his security head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(Few days earlier)
“Please let me check your bag sir”
“Please let me check your bag sir”
“Oh yeah.. Well OK, here it is”
Ramanna started to check for any pendrives, hard-disks or
CDs in the bag.
The gentleman’s time was being wasted.
He asked, “Do you
realize I am the MD of this company”.
Ramanna did not know what it meant. Surely he did know that
it was some post in the company.
He said,”Sorry sir, I don’t know. If you have any questions
about this random bag checking procedure, you can talk to your manager or
security head. He will be able to inform you” and returned the bag.
The MD took the bag and left in a hurry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
“Guys, this is serious, we need to reduce our task-force and
so have to let go of some people whom we no longer require. Management orders”
“But sir, he has done his job with utmost honesty all these
years. We cannot ask him to leave all of a sudden.”
“OK, in that case, send me a
strong report on why we should not remove him or why he is indispensable?”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramanna was a shy, introvert security guy whose only job was
to check employee bags at random and confiscate any pendrives, hard-disks or
CDs in their bag.
Nothing else.
Nothing else, other than catching a snake that occasionally
stole into the company premises.
Yes, you read that right. Snakes in the company premises.
Whenever it would come, they would call him. He would go to
the location, catch the snake with his bare hands, put it in a gunny bag and
throw it in a “safe” remote location and return back to his work.
He had done this many times in his village where he grew up.
He was not afraid of them.Infact he did not even consider them dangerous.
It was that simple.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The security head was tensed. He had to save the job of poor
Ramanna but could not find a way to say he is required in the company.
And that fateful day, he heard some noises, a small crowd
had gathered. Curiosity got better of him and he rushed to the spot only to
find another snake making its appearance. Someone was calling Ramanna.
This is the moment, the security head thought. Ramanna came
and as usual prepared to catch the snake.
“Stop”, said the security head.
"Let me take its photo".
He took two pictures of the snake and
asked Ramannato catch the snake from the other direction, facing the camera
all the time.
Ramanna was always amused by the ways of these big people
but never thought of questioning him.
The whole incident was now recorded.
The snake was left in some remote location and Ramanna was back to his work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Hello, Sir, Tell me”
“Listen Ramanna, there will be one guy coming towards your
gate now, wearing a blazer and carrying a small bag. Check the bag as you do
with others and let him go. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Sir”.
Ramanna checked the bag as he did with hundreds of others and
left him.
The MD took the bag and left in
a hurry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a huge uproar in the Berlin office.
A monthly report had come from the security head informing
the usual updates from the Indian office but this time it had something new,
the presence of the snake in the office premises.
They had to take swift action. A committee was set to come
up with an action plan the next time this happens. Snake Catcher Sticks, safety
gloves, hard boots etc were ordered and dispatched to the Indian office and were
instructed to hire an expert to handle such situation.
The video of a guy catching the snake with his bare hands
went viral inside the company video portal.
It was a huge news. It reached the MD.
The MD looked hard at the person catching the snake in the
video.
He was the same guy who had stopped the MD of the company to
check his bag. And yeah the rules applied to him too.
He made a mental note of it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The MD was in India.
“Ramanna, The MD wants to meet you”, shouted his security head.
Ramanna entered timidly inside the room. There were 10
blazer wearing “big” people sitting inside the room.
They played the video of him capturing the snake, spoke something
in English so fast that he gave up trying to understand after the second sentence.
The MD also spoke about his dedication to his work and his
strictness in applying company rules.
They all clapped and gave him a medal, certificate and an
envelope.
He did not understand a thing.
He smiled, saluted and left.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Yes, you can retain Ramanna. Also
mention Snake catching in his set of special skills. Do not hire a new guy for
that, just raise his salary a bit."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ramanna had now become a hero.
Whenever a snake made its appearance, he went there with Snake
Catcher Sticks, safety gloves, hard boots etc, posed for photography acting as
if he was catching them.
Then went ahead and caught him with his hands and threw them as usual.
Then went ahead and caught him with his hands and threw them as usual.
No, he would not do anything with the photo now though.
The number of bags he checked also increased.
The security head could only smile at these changes. He was
only satisfied in saving a job.Only he knew that its not enough to just do your job and shut up. You need to advertise yourself, let the world know what you are doing.And if you are deserving , you will get the rewards. Cringing silently does not work.

ಆಕಾಶವೇ ಖುಷಿಯಿಂದ
ಕಂಬನಿ ಸುರಿಸಿತು !
ಫಾಸ್ಟ್ ಫುಡ್
ಅವಳು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋದ
ಬೋಂಡ ಇನ್ನು
ಬಿಸಿಯಾಗಿತ್ತು.
ಆದರೆ ಅವಳ ಫೋನ್ ಆಗಲೇ ಬ್ಯುಸಿ ಆಗಿತ್ತು ;(
ನಾನವನಲ್ಲ
ಇಲ್ಲ
ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಮೋಸ ಮಾಡಿ
ಓಡಿ ಹೋದವ ಬೇರೆಯವ,
ನಾನವನಲ್ಲ.
ನಮ್ಮಿಬ್ಬರ ಪರಿಚಯ ಈಗ ತಾನೇ ಪ್ರೀತಿಗೆ ತಿರುಗಿದೆ.
ನಾ ನವ ನಲ್ಲ !!!
ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಮೋಸ ಮಾಡಿ

ಸಿಕ್ಕಾಪಟ್ಟೆ
ತಿನ್ಬಿಟ್ಟೆ ಖಾರ
ಚಾಲೆಂಜ್ ಗೆ ಅಂತ
ಶಾಮಕ ದಳವದರನ್ನ
ಕರೆಯಿಸಿ
ಆಗಿದೆ
ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಯೊಳಗೆ ಅಗ್ನಿ ದುರಂತ !!
ಜೀವನ
ಜೀವನ ಮರ್ಮ
ಅರಿಯುವಷ್ಟರಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊಳೆತು ಹೋಯಿತು ಚರ್ಮ !!
ನಾವು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯವರೇ
We ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಜಾಸ್ತಿನೇ adjust ಮಾಡಿಂಗ್
Wen U Say ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ adjust ಮಾಡಿ.
But when U ppl no adjust ಮಾಡಿಂಗ್
ಆವಾಗಲೇ
ಹೇಳೋದು ಎತ್ರಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಗಾಡಿ !!

ಪದಗಳು ಹಾಳೆ ಮಾತ್ರ
ಮುಟ್ಟುತಿದೆ
ಮನಸನಲ್ಲ
ನೀವು ಅದೆಂತ poetರಿ ?
