An Appeal.....

Please....stop interrogating about me
Like you and all others, I am born and grown up here
The blood and sweat share the same soil without any deal
It makes no sense except perfect nonsense
Is it not enough? I look like you in every aspect
Why that persistent and pertinent question?
There is nothing to hide...I know...if not with you
Will be revealed to concerned authority....

I am a nomenclature for somebody in this asylum
Very over-sensitive unpredictable lunatics around me...
Patients with different degree of mental imbalances are too many
I am scared; about your curiosity....your homicidal madness
Red shot eyes and your manic look, forces me to a state of rage

You brand me in your own social taxonomy and cage me in a solitary cell
A confusing classification so unscientific social disharmony
Very unsure about your reaction, I hesitate and conceal,
You may hug me with joy if related to your say
Well, you may kill me for your fanatic ploy for fancy

I shun my name, shun my language and
I hereby, I declare with all senses intact and sane
I am not yet insane....lucky to remain still a humane
Ye... I do solemnly declare....in the name of what?????
I am a born orphan and dumb by birth,

Without a history of human worth I am left alone....

Reunited...at last..

Dreamy youth....three decade past... Recently, a few days ago Rashmi my cousin had come home. She had a carry bag full of newly bought kannada books. Out of curiosity I just went through the books quite literally assorted books which also contained anthologies of Jayant kaikini published by ankita publications. without my knowledge my hands picked the books of Jayanth and like a reflex action my eyes started focusing on the poems. Rashmi personally told me that I would have the books with me till I complete the reading of the poems as she knew that I had an intimate and a sentimental attachment with jayant. But I wondered at the sensitivity of Rashmi as indeed I had tried to suppress my curiosity and urgency of going through the whole book that night itself. But yet she could see my anxiety and restlessness and offered her help. Present reality.....united at last... It is not that I am a voracious reader or a great lover of literature or poetry, but I am a moderately intere...

The Crow.

As usual in the morning, I went to the school at about 8.30. Got into my office in the third floor. There was no one as it was mid-term holidays. The door was opened by the watch man before I made my entry. By the side of my office, Mr. Mariyappa was taking classes for commerce students. Water drops were dripping from the roof in the corridor due to overnight rains. I removed my rain-coat and sitting in my chair started to see the messages from my mobile. This is my normal routine. I sent, rather forwarded the messages to my usual close friends and then signed in the register. It was cloudy outside. So I switched on the light to go through some pages in the biology book. Suddenly from my office door a crow flew in and directly sat above the window pane exactly above my seat. I was little puzzled and surprised. My first reaction was to get up from my place and I went outside. Standing outside the office in front of the door I waited for my unexpected guest's to go out on his o...
