Friendship

ಬದುಕು-ಸ್ನೇಹ

========

ಈ ಬದುಕಿನ ಕಾಲ

ಎಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಕ್ಷಣಿಕ

ಆದರೂ ಅದು ತುಂಬಾ

ಮನಮೋಹಕ

ನರನು ಮಾಡುವನು ಅದರಲಿ

ಪ್ರೀತಿ-ಸ್ನೇಹ-ಪ್ರೇಮದ ಜಳಕ

ಅದರಲಿ ಸ್ನೇಹಕ್ಕೆ ಮಿಗಿಲಾದ

ಮತ್ತೊಂದಿಲ್ಲ ಕನಕ

ಯಾರಿರಬಹುದು ಈ

ಬದುಕಿನ ಜನಕ

ಮರೆಯಬೇಡ ಆತನನು

ಕೊನೆಯ ತನಕ.

ಸ್ನೇಹವೆಂಬ ಲೋಕದಲಿ

ಕಂಡೆನೊಂದು ಕಿರಣವನು

ಅದು ಬೆಳಕು ಕೊಡುವುದೇನೋ

ಎಂದುಕೊಂಡು ಹರುಶಗೊಂಡೆನು ನಾನು

ಗೆಳತಿಯೊಬ್ಬಳು ಸಿಕ್ಕ ಸಂತಸದಲಿ

ಮರೆಯುತಿರುವೆನು ಗತಿಸಿತ ಘಟನೆಗಳನು

ಈ ಸ್ನೇಹ ಶಾಶ್ವಥವಾಗಲೆಂದು -

ಆಶಿಸುವ ಸಮಯದಲಿ ದೂರವಾಗುತಿಹಳು ಆಕೆಯು

ಸೃಶ್ಟಿಯಾದ ಗೆಳೆತನಕೆ

ಇರುವುದೆ ವಿರಾಮ?

ಬೆಳಕು-ಕತ್ತಲೆಯ ಸ್ನೇಹವೆ

ರವಿ-ಚಂದ್ರಮನ ಸಂಗಮ.

attachment Vs detachment

attached or detached?

attachment Vs detachment is a powerful game in life. We all keep playing this game, keep switching role here, keep doing trade off between these two.
Maharshi sometimes get totally confused with this game of life.

Maharshi has a dream. The dream about which he was not serious in the begining, but is becoming a strong goal to be achieved in his life. He dreams of building a hospital. He wants to do this in the memory of a dear person in his life. He wants to do something good to the people around. Maharshi keeps thinking about converting this dream to reality. All he is aiming is to earn money as much as possible which is a must to execute his dream. Ofcourse, being in a money rich sector, he is earning good money, but is not enough to purchase land and build the hospital. So he wants to start it with a small investment and then build it further. In the process of achieving his goal, he is not able to spend much time with his family. He works in bengaluru and his parents are in a differnt place. Though he goes to meet them regularly, it is not possible for him to be there all the times and look after his parents.

The day Maharshi left his parents, home and native place to do engineering in a different place, the trade-off between attachement and detachment began. First time in his life, staying away from family made him home-sick. Initially "attachment" was strongly placed in his heart. He use to cry many times, he use to think of running back home. But his goals in life made him to control his feelings. Survival of the fittest is true. This is the time when "detachment" came into picture. At that point, each person in the family had an objective in mind - maharshi trying to build his career, his parents supporting him to succeed in whatever he do in life. Maharshi completed his studies and got a job. His parents became very happy. His parents had done lot of sacrifice in their life for their son to succeed in life. His parents have completed their responsibility of making their son to stand on his own in life. Now it is the time for him to pay back to them.

But what is happening? It is been more than 10 years now, Maharshi is staying away from his parents just because he went to other city for engineering and then to do the job in bengaluru. Apart from this, he travels abroad sometimes on project assignment. He is keep going away from parents as he is chasing his dreams. Maharshi started thinking whether he is doing right or wrong. He is thinking - my parents supported me all my life. they were with me at my good and bad times. They taught me how to lead life. And now when they require my support, my presence with them, i'm not there. When I have to take care of them, i'm not there. All these happening just because, i'm aiming at my dream/goal?

His heart is telling him to give priority for human sentiments and get attached to the family and close people of him. But his mind is telling him to be detached and give priority for his goals. He is totally confused between his sentiments and goals.

Looking at the story of Maharshi, I thought Maharshi is a selfish guy. Because, he is ignoring sentiments and running after his goal since the beginning. I started thinking if there is any solution for his problem. There might be N number of people in bengaluru... chasing after dreams and same time in the confused state just like Maharshi..

ಪ್ರಿಯ-ತಮೆ

ಎಲೆ ಹೂವೇ...
ಎಕಿ೦ದು ನೀ ನನಗೆ ಪ್ರಿಯವಾದೆ?
ನಿನ್ನ ಹೊಳಪನು ಕ೦ಡು...
ನಿನ್ನ ರೂಪವನು ಕ೦ಡು...
ನಾ ನಿನಗೆ ಮರುಳಾದೆ.

ನೀ ನನ್ನ ಮನದಲಿ
ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ವೀಣೆಯನು ನುಡಿಸುತಿರುವೆ.
ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯದ ಸುತ್ತಾ
ಪ್ರೇಮದ ಬಲೆಯನು ಹರಡಿರುವೆ.

ಹೇಳುವ೦ತವಳಾಗು ಓ ಬಾಲೆ
ಏಕಾಗಿ ನೀ ನನಗೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಸ್ವಾದವನು ತೋರಿಸಿದೆ?
ಏಕಾಗಿ ನನ್ನ ತನು-ಮನವನು

ಈ ಹೂವಿನ ಸ್ವಾದವನು
ಸವಿಯುವ ದು೦ಭಿ ನಾನಾಗಬಾರದೇ?
ಈ ಜೀವನದಲಿ ನಿನ್ನೊಡನೆ

My first love

ಮನೋಸಾಗರ

ಸಾವಿರ ನೆನಪುಗಳ ಕುಡಿ ನೀನಾಗಿರುವೆ
ಸಹಸ್ರ ಕನಸುಗಳ ರೂಪ ನೀ ಪಡೆದಿರುವೆ
ಯೊಚನೆಗಳ ಸಾಗರದಲಿ ಮುತ್ತಾಗಿ ನೀ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿರುವೆ
ನನ್ನ ಜೀವನದ ಪಥದಲಿ ನೀ ಹಕ್ಕಿಯಾಗಿ ಹಾರುತಿರುವೆ

ನೀ ಎಲ್ಲಿ೦ದ ವಲಸೆ ಬ೦ದೆಯೋ ನಾ ಕಾಣೆ
ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯಧಾಮದಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ನೀನೆ
ಸದಾ ಹಸಿರಾಗಿರುವುದು ಈ ಧಾಮ ನಿನಗಾಗಿ
ನೀ ಇಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನೆಲೆಸಬೇಕು ನನಗಾಗಿ

ನೀ ಮೆಲ್ಲ ಮೆಲ್ಲನೆ ಬ೦ದು ನನ್ನ-
ಹೃದಯದ ಕದವ ಬಡಿದು-
ಮರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿ ಕುಳಿತಿರಲು...
ನಾ ತನು-ಮನದ ಬಾಗಿಲ ತೆರೆದು-
ನೀ ಕಾಣದೆ ಚಕಿತಗೊ೦ಡಿರುವೆ.

ಕಾಯುತಿರುವೆ ನಿನಗಾಗಿ ನಾನು
ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಕಣ್ಣಾಮುಚ್ಚಾಲೆಯಾಡುತಿರುವೆ ನೀನು.
ಬೆಳಗು ಬಾ ನನ್ನ ಹೃದಯ ಕೋಣೆಯನು...
ಒಲವಿನ ಸೆಲೆಯಲಿ ಮೂಡಿಸು ಬಾ-
ನನ್ನ ಕನಸಿನ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳನು...

I saw her when I was in 5th standard. It was afternoon. she was partcipating in the long jump compitation. She was very cute! of my age only. The compitation was held in the playground common to my kannada medium school and her english medium school. I saw her for the 1st time there. Her PT master was trying hard to make her win in that game.And I remember the stress on her face and the hard work she had put to win the game. I started observing her since then.She was placed in my mind from the second I saw her. As my native is a small place, I got many occasions where she coincidently appeared in front of me.


I joined to english medium for high school and i think it was in my fate, she was also put into the same section where i was. I always had her presence in those 3 yrs at school, at play ground etc etc. May be in those 3 years. I started admiring her and use to get some kind of feelings on her.
But, during that stage my 1st preference was "study" & then the other things.So I just concentrated on studies, not on anything else. In those 3 years, I had observed the people who fought for her, who tried to propose to her, even without the knowledge of her. I use to think that why people are disturbing this girl, Why can't they stop troubling her.


After the high school, we joined to different colleges. I thought I missed her.But not!!.She also joined to the same tuition where I had joined. From 5th to 12th standard... I watched her silently, and without informing to my mind, my Heart started working and fell in love with her.She is the inspiration I started writing poems. After all my heart is small you know... and It can't withstand all those heavy weighted feelings. So it made me to write poems, having her in my mind and heart.


We joined to different engineering colleges. I spent 4 years of my engineering life with just the feelings on her which were silently accumulating in my heart. I loved her in those 4 years.. without her presence. I missed her a lot. Sometimes I felt my love was weak. Because it couldn't speak in front of her. And sometimes I felt my love is strong eventhough itz one-way. Because in all those years my feelings on her didn't go weak.Rather it became strong.

One day somehow got to know that she has started liking someone. I knew I don't have any right to control her heart. I wished I shouldn't have expressed my feelings to her. First of all, my mind and heart had lost their strength with many worst things happened in my personal life in those 4 yrs and on top of this, love failure. I really stopped thinking. My mind started taking control over my heart and made it hard. Final year was gud to me i guess. Got selected in campus interview, placed in a software company.

After my engineering, I started killing whatever the love feelings which had accumulated in the heart by keeping myself in work.I started avoiding the remembrance of her. I don't know whether it should be called as my luck or bad luck, one day I saw her in my office!. Huh.... why all these tests??. I couldn't take it anymore. My wounded heart was healing well and then her presence. When the things which we like or love most is not for us and if it is present in front of us, it creates lot of pain. I started experiencing that pain.

In that period of 14 years,I never spoke with her and that day in the company, I talked with her for the 1st time in my life. But, it wasn't a gud start of conversation. In the begining itslef, when I introduced myself to her, she told she doesn't remember much. Hmm... does anybody needs anything more than this??!!

I couldn't keep all this pain within me. It was burning my heart.I wanted to be free from this.
So a thought came to my mind that why can't I let her know that I loved her truely. I knew the bitter truth that I don't have the chance to ask for her love.Also I knew that some other lucky person has got her love. But, I just wanted to come out of all these feelings. So wrote a mail to her. Told her the entire story which I had kept with me for 14 years. I wished her Happy valentine's day. That day was Feb 14th. I dint expect anything from her. After that, I felt free and got the feel that I'm not associated with anybody's heart.

End of the story! I know most of us would have gone through this phase of life...

As many say Love is "part" of life, not "the life" itself!
My life is moving on now... :)
