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

Venugopalaswamy temple & KRS backwaters.

Image
After a fantastic road trip to Melukote, we decided to have one small trip to KRS Backwaters of Mandya district and also to Venugopalaswamy temple. It was 4th of May. I was sleeping, after having the lunch at my hostel mess. Holiday's nap! Aha! By default it will be from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, unless and otherwise there is a call from a friend for a movie! On that day also, I was in a heavy sleepy mood. By 4:30 pm, my friend Praveen called me up and asked me- "Hey, what if we go to Venugopalaswamy temple today only?" "This guy is a screw"- I thought. It was already the end of the day. Thunders and lightning were there in the sky. "Hey, it's already 4:30pm. What if it rains?" - I asked. “Hey, you can't see the sunset in the morning! You have to go in the evening only. It will be more interesting and amazing" -Praveen at the other end. "Alright then"- me and my roommate decided to join the "Let's Poyi" troupe again...

Logic and common sense

Image
Logically speaking, 2+8=5+5. But, my common sense says that this is not true in many cases. -I'll prove it. You just need to have the common sense to criticise or think over it. There's a task to be completed in a day. There are two people to finish the task. Both of them have the same capacity to do it. They have to divide the responsibilities equally. If one does 20% of the task and the other does 80% , the result will be deviated from the required. So simple! There are many theorems proved so far. Most of them are just ideal and that is logic. Archimedes said- "give me space to stand 'beyond' this earth; I'll lift this whole earth in one hand!" Yeah, it's logically perfect. Does it make any practical sense? Common sense should always overtake the logic. What do you say?

Does 'she' need reservation?

“Pithaa rakshathi kaumarE bharthaa rakshathi yauvanE | puthrO rakshathi vaardhkyE na sthree swaathanthramarhathi || “ This is a good old Sanskrith sentence. It means, a girl will be brought up by her father during her childhood, cared by her husband at her young age. Her children will look after her at her old age. The last sentence and the most  misunderstood  sentence is the last quarter of the above shloka. It simply means: “Never let women live lonely. She has to be taken care of.” After all, what do you mean by reservation? A simple definition of ‘reservation’ is, creating a separate channel for the ‘weak’ people. Another question arises now. In which fields does ‘she’ is weaker than ‘he?’ May it be educational and political kind of ‘social’ fields; or it may also be righteous, religious or moral fields. Our culture has always given certain rights to women. In all our worshiping of gods, with her husband, there is a specific work for the her. (FYI, a...
