Musing the Past…


 Brooding over the ailing, ageing body.....                                                                                         Failing to experience the past with excitement and thrill 
 But without remorse or vague overlapping of abstract disconnects of past 
 Rare mild smile that escapes meaninglessly craves to freeze in the past
 That stage of life lived galloping without past 
 But that time was squandered with a dreamy colorful future fantasy
 The feeble body is desperate and begs for extension for some more time 
 Fearing the days that are dwindling as fast as divine disappearance
 But for ever one feels that too many tasks that are still unfinished 
 My dear ones..... 
 Brood, but breed not the melancholic seed......
 For...Life is too beautiful indeed....

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...

ಕಾಗೆ  ನಾನು ಶಾ ಲೆ ಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲರಗಿಂತ ಮುಂಚೆ ಎಂಟು ವರೆಗೆ ತಲುಪಿದೆ. ಯಾರು ಬಂದಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಬರುವುದು ಇಲ್ಲ. ಕಾರಣ ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ ರಜೆ, ಇನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ಆಫೀಸ್ ನ ಸಹೋದ್ಯೋಗಿಗಳು ಬರುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಕನಿಷ್ಠ ಇನ್ನೊಂದುಗಂಟೆಯಾದರೂ ಬೇಕು. ಮೇಷ್ಟ್ರುಗಳು ಹಾಗು ಹುಡುಗರು ಬರುವ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಹಿಂದಿನ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಮಳೆಜೋರಾಗಿ ಬಂದುದರಿಂದ ಚಾವಣಿಯಿಂದ ಇನ್ನು ನೀರು ಹನಿ ಹನಿ ಯಾಗಿ ತೊಟ್ಟಿಕ್ಕುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಪಕ್ಕದ ಹಾಲ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮರಿಯಪ್ಪನವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ ಹುಡುಗರಿಗೆ ಕಾಮರ್ಸ್ ಟ್ಯುಶನ್ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ರೈನ್ ಕೊಟ್ ಬಿಚ್ಚಿ ಕುರ್ಚಿಗೆ ನೇತುಹಾಕಿ ಕುಳಿತು, ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರತಿನಿತ್ಯದ ಅಭ್ಯಾಸದಂತೆ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಕಳಿಸುವ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರಿಗೆಲ್ಲಾಮೆಸೇಜ್ ಕಳಿಸಿ, ಬೇರೇನೂ ಕೆಲಸ ತೋಚದೆ, ಟ್ಯೂಬ್ ಲೈಟ್ ಆನ್ ಮಾಡಿ, ಹತ್ತನೆಯ ತರಗತಿಯ ಜೀವವಿಜ್ಞಾನದ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ತಿರುವಿಹಾಕಲು ಶುರು ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಯಾವುದು ಹೊಸ ವಿಷಯ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಕ್ಲಾಸ್ ಗೆ ತಯಾರಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವಷ್ಟು ಅಗತ್ಯವೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಏನುತೋಚದೆ ಸ್ಟಾಫ್ ರೆಜಿಸ್ಟರ್ ತೆಗೆದು ಸಹಿ ಹಾಕಿದೆ. ಹೊರಗಡೆ ಮೋಡ ಕವಿದ ವಾತಾವರಣ. ಇವೊತ್ತು ಸಹಾ ಮಳೆ ಬರಬಹುದುಎನಿಸಿತು. ಮೂರನೇ ಮಹಡಿಯಿಂದ ಮಬ್ಬಾದ ಎದುರಿಗಿನ ಆಕಾಶ ನೋಡುವುದು ಒಂದು ಅನುಭವ. ಇದ್ದಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ ಹಾಗೆ ತೆರೆದ ಬಾಗಿಲಿನಿಂದ ಕಾಗೆ ಹಾರಿ ಬಂದು ನನ್ನ ತಲೆಯ ಮೇಲಿದ್ದ ಕಿಟಕಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಕುಳಿತು ಒಂದು ಪಕ್ಕದಿಂದ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಪಕ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹದರಿ ಹ...

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...
