I'm a proud INDIAN, hence I consider myself a right person to blog about this. Throughout the article, I'm asking you just the questions. I'm seriously haunting for the answers. After the independence, we have seen many governments, many elections. As we see today, India is developing day-by-day. I know that the government is the most important part in giving contributions to a nation's development. Of course, we need governments in future too, for the development. I agree that I should vote, for this reason. Have you seen a "Davis cup tennis tournament"? There you will see a "non-playing captain". Do we need a non-playing captain for the nation's development? I'm a so called 'busy' person. I invest myself in more profitable fields. Before doing anything, I always ask a question to myself: "what if I do this?" This time I'm asking you the same question.

A poem- About me

ನನ್ನ ದಾರಿ ನನಗೆ ಎಂದು ಗಡಿಯ ತೊಡೆದು ಹೊರಟೆನು ಕಿರಿದಾರಿಯ ಕ್ರಮಿಸಿ ಹೆದ್ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ತುಳಿದೆನು ಒಬ್ಬಂಟಿಯು ನಾನು ಎಂಬ ಕಟು ಸತ್ಯವ ಮರೆಯಲು 'ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಗುರಿಯ ಪಥಿಕಗೆಂದೂ ಪಥವೇ ಸಾಥಿ' ಎಂದೆನು ದಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಗುತಿದ್ದ ಮಂದಿಯನ್ನು ನೋಡುತ ಹಿಂದಿಕ್ಕುವ ತವಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಗುರಿಯ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡೆನು ಕ್ರಮಿಸಿ ಬಂದ ದಾರಿ ನೋಡಿ 'ನನ್ನದಲ್ಲ'ವೆನಿಸಲು ಸದಾ ಮೌನಿ ನನ್ನ ಮನಸು ಮಾತನಾಡತೊಡಗಿತು :- "ಗುರಿಯು ಒಂದು ದಿಗಂತವು; ಪಥವದತಿ ಅನಂತವು ದಾರಿಗುಂಟ ಗುರುವಿದ್ದರೆ ಗುರಿಯು ಬರಿ ನಿತಾಂತವು ಪಥಿಕ ಮಂದಿ ಗೆಳೆತನವದು ಬಹು ಶಕ್ತಿಯ ಕೊಡುವುದು ಕ್ರಮಿಸಿದಂತೆ ಕಠಿಣ ದಾರಿ ತಲ್ಪ-ಲತೆಗಳೆನಿಪವು" -ಇದನೆ ನಂಬಿ ಸಾಗುತಿಹೆನು ಇಂದೂ ನಾನು ಗೆಳೆಯರೇ! ಆತ್ಮಸ್ಥೈರ್ಯ, ಸ್ವಂತ ದೃಷ್ಟಿ, ಸದ್ಭಾವದಿಂದ. ಜೊತೆಗೆ, ನಡಿಗೆ ವೇಗ ವರ್ಧಿಸುತ್ತ ಬಲು ದೂರವ ಕ್ರಮಿಸುವೆ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಗುರುತು ಅಳಿಯೋ ಮೊದಲು ಹೊಸಹೆಜ್ಜೆಯನಿಕ್ಕುವೆ

Road trip to Melukote

"Yentha macha, always busy-busy-busy...?" Praveen speaking restlessly at the other end of the phone. I never wanted to be called as a 'busy' guy. " Alright then, I'll come with you this time" - I told. --------------------------------------------------------- Melukote is at a distance of 50 kms from Mysore. We six boys- me, Praveen, Sharan, Lakshmeesh, Keshav and Abhi- started from Mysore, in three bikes by 1:30pm, after the lunch. 'We have one more week for the first internals' -I thought. So, the 'theme' of our trip was just time pass! On the way, we visited "Thonnur lake" - a must see place, at a distance of 40 kms from Mysore. You have to take a left diversion at Srirangapatna, in the Mysore-Bangalore road. Crossing Panadavapura- a small village you will get this lake. The lake is very large, in which swimming is allowed. We enjoyed a lot there. " I think our eyes are the best camera to captu...
