ಗೋವಿಂದರಾಜನಗರ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ಚುನಾವಣೆ...

2009-09-15T10:19:00.000-07:00

ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ನಡೆದ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗೋವಿಂದರಾಜನಗರ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ಬಹಳ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ದಿಯನ್ನು ಪಡೆದಿತ್ತು... ಕಾರಣ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತಿದ್ದ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿಗಳು... ಜನತಾ ದಳದಿಂದ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಗೆ, ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಇಂದ ಬಿ.ಜೆ.ಪಿ ಗೆ ಪಕ್ಷಾಂತರ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದರೂ ಸೋಲಿಲ್ಲದ ಸರದಾರನೆಂದೇ ಖ್ಯಾತರಾಗಿದ್ದ ಸೋಮಣ್ಣ ಮತ್ತು ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಪಕ್ಷದ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿ ಪ್ರಿಯ ಕೃಷ್ಣ... ಚುನಾವಣೆ ಮುಗಿದ ನಂತರ ಇದೇ ಗೋವಿಂದರಾಜನಗರ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ, ಒಂದು ಪುಟ್ಟ ಅಂಗಡಿಯ ಮುಂದೆ ಕುಳಿತು ಟೀ ಕುಡಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ನಮ್ಮ ಬೋರಣ್ಣನನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದ ಪುಟ್ಟಣ್ಣ ಕೇಳಿದ...

ಪು : "ಹೌದಾ.... ಹಂಗಾದ್ರೆ, ಜಾತಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡೈತೆ ? "

ಬೋ : "ಹೂಂ ಮತ್ತೇ... ನಾನು ಹಿಂಗೆ ನಿಂತ್ತಿದ್ದನಾ... ಒಬ್ಬ ಮೇಷ್ಟರು ಬಂದು, "ಬೋರಣ್ಣ... ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಾಗೆ ಲಿಂಗಾಯಿತರ ಪವರ್ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಆಗೈತೆ. ನೀನು ವಕ್ಕಲಿಗ. ವಕ್ಕಲಿಗರು ವಕ್ಕಲಿಗರಿಗೇ ಓಟ್ ಹಾಕಬೇಕು.. ಆಗ್ಲೇ ವಕ್ಕಲಿಗರ ಪವರ್ ಜಾಸ್ತಿಯಾಗೋದು" ಅಂದರು ಕಣ್ಲಾ. ಮೇಷ್ಟರಾಗಿ ಈ ವಯ್ಯ ಇಂಥಾ ಮಾತಾಡ್ತಾನಲ್ಲಾ ಅಂತ ಅನ್ಕ್ಂಡೆ ನಾನು.."

ಬೋ : " ಮತ್ತೇ... ಗೆದ್ದಿರೋನು ಏನು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯದೋನಾ.. ಹತ್ತಿರ ಹತ್ತಿರ 750 ಕೋಟಿ ರುಪಾಯಿ ಕುಳ "

ಪು : " ಹಾಂ... " (ಪುಟ್ಟಣ್ಣ ಬಾಯಿ ಬಿಟ್ಕೊಂಡು ಹಾಗೆ ನಿಂತುಕೊಂಡ)

ಬೋ : "ಆ ಹುಡುಗಂಗೆ, ಆಗ್ಲೇ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಸಿದ್ದ ಆಗವಳಂತೆ. ಅದೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಡಿ.ಕೆ. ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ಮಗಳಂತೆ "

ಪು : "ಹಾಂ... ಹೌದಾ ? "

ಬೋ : "ನಂಗೂ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ... ಯಾರೋ ಇಂಗೆ ಮಾತಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದ್ರು... ಆದ್ರು ಸೋಮಣ್ಣನ ಟೈಮ್ ಸರಿ ಇಲ್ಲ ಕಣ್ಲಾ.. "

In Search of "Nine hours to rama"...

2009-06-12T21:16:00.000-07:00

ಎಸ್.ಎಲ್. ಭೈರಪ್ಪನವರ "ಆವರಣ" ಓದಿದ ಮೇಲೆ, ನನಗೆ ಭಾರತದ ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಪೂರ್ತಿ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಮಾಡುವ ಆಸೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಸ್ನೇಹಿತ ಚಂದ್ರು ಕೊಟ್ಟಂತಹ ಮನೋಹರ್ ಮಳಗಾಂವಕರ್ ರವರ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅನುವಾದದ "ಅವನೊಬ್ಬನಿದ್ದ ಗೋಡ್ಸೆ" ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಓದ ತೊಡಗಿದೆ. ಆ ಪುಸ್ತಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಂತಹ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಘಟನೆಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮತ್ತಷ್ತು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಹಂಬಲದಿಂದ ಅಂತರ್ಜಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಾಲಾಡಿಸಿದಾಗ... ಗೋಡ್ಸೆ, ಗಾಂಧಿ, ನಾರಾಯಣ ಆಪ್ಟೆ, ನೆಹ್ರು, ಜಿನ್ನ್ಹಾ, ಮೌಂಟ್ ಬ್ಯಾಟ್ಟನ್, ಎಡ್ವಿನ.. ಭಾರತ ವಿಭಜನೆ, ನಿರಾಶ್ರಿತ್ರರ ವಲಸೆ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮತ್ತಷ್ತು ಮಾಹಿತಿಗಳು ದೊರೆತವು.

ಗಾಂಧಿ ಯ ಕೊಲೆಯಾದ ನಂತರ ಆನೇಕ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳು, ಚಿತ್ರಗಳು, ಡಾಕ್ಯುಮೆಂಟರಿಗಳು ಬಂದಿವೆ. ಕೆಲವು ನಿಜ ಹೇಳುತ್ತವೆ, ಕೆಲವು ಸುಳ್ಳು... ಕೆಲವನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ಘನ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಬಹಿಷ್ಕರಿಸಿದೆ. ಈ ಬಹಿಷ್ಕರಿಸಿದ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ Nelson Gidding ರವರ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಆಧಾರಿತ, Mark Robson ರವರ ನಿರ್ದೇಶನದ "Nine hours to rama" ವೆಂಬುದು ಒಂದು.

Youtube ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಡುಕಿದಾಗ, ಆ ಚಿತ್ರದ ತುಣುಕೊಂದು ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತ್ತು.

Seventymm.com ... Rent movies..

2009-05-15T07:45:00.000-07:00

Just been to a fair in city and came across a company called "Seventymm.com"

The company generates revenue by renting movies. They claim that they rent movies of different languages and movies that got released on any day. Was just thinking, how does this idea work and generate money ?

People do watch movie when they get bored and find some time.. Suppose, if i am feeling bored and want to watch a movie (and if am a member of seventymm.com) then i call them to rent me a movie.

It takes almost 3-4hrs for the company guy to reach my home, due to heavy traffic (specially in a city like bangalore). I have to wait for 4hrs to watch it... and by the time i get the movie, i will get some other work.. It may happen that i may not find time to watch this movie and after 3 days have to return the same to the company person, paying the rent and not watching it..

Also, company has to provide CDs/DVDs of good quality else they may lose customers.in addition to good customer support to keep their customers happy...

Membership fee is Rs250 per month. Also, company will provide new releases after 25 days of the release.. Provided these conditions, i still feel that its better to watch movie on the big screen than going for a rent...I still can't see that this idea will generate any revenue...

Kuselan Letter to KFCC

2008-07-29T22:24:00.000-07:00

Fearing trouble in the smooth screening of his forthcoming film ‘Kuselan’, Tamil superstar Rajnikant has sought the help of Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC). In a letter dated July 27 to KFCC president Jayamala, Rajnikant has referred to the bitterness caused by his statements during the controversy over the Hogenakkal drinking water project.

In the letter written and signed by him in Kannada (above), Rajnikant said: "It has become difficult for me to digest the fact that some people are still hurt about my speech during the Hogenakkal debate. It is against my nature to hurt anybody. My only aspiration and objective was not to cause any problem to the common man. My films are watched in Karnataka not only by Tamils but also by Kannadigas and other language speakers ." He sought the cooperation of KFCC to ensure the release of Kuselan and the safety of his fans.

Naukri Job Fair - Bangalore 07

2007-12-12T10:24:00.000-08:00

As usual, i was late by 20 minutes. The cab driver was waiting for me. He had to pick up one more of my colleague to the naukri job Fair, held at palace grounds on 8th dec 07 bangalore. Got into cab and explained cab driver also owner, Mr Vasu, the side effects of getting late on weekends. He seemed to forgive (hoping that he can make to the venue within 30 minutes, as the traffic was less). We picked up my colleague near iskcon. Vasu, dropped myself and my colleague, who is working as HR at the palace grounds. We both were shocked by seeing huge crowd. Separate lines were made for males and females, and also based on the industry exp they had. Our company had a stall and we (Kyocera Wireless India) were the platinum sponsers for the event.

After inaugurating the function, the crowd was let in. There were many companies who had participated, but i could fine only few companies that were looking for technical people. I was one of the panelist for the second round of tech interview, but to manage the crowd, had to do the shortlist of resumes also(which was the first round). This was a diff exp to me. There were many people from different background, and also from diff places. There were exp people, freshers (some accompanied by their parents), people who wanted to get the most of this event. I met a person there, who had a apartment near ITPL. She wanted to give that, as a guest house for foreign VIP's who come to visit their companies in India. Also met a group of enthusiastic ladies, who seem to have started a company of their own which provides software for mobile applications. I led them to my HR, and they had a serious discussion. There was huge queue, who were waiting to photocopy their resume. The photocopy person had a good business.

When the event came to an end on the first day it was about 5pm, and time for me to meet my freinds to discuss the loooooong journey for the coming christmas holidays. Yesssss a journey for 5 days in the western ghats on "BIKESssss"

Apple releases iPOD firmware v1.0.2 !!!!!!

2007-10-09T12:16:00.000-07:00

My friend bought a new philips portable DVD player. Speciality is that, it has a iPOD docking station. Videos and songs from iPOD can be played in the DVD player. So we tried to connect the ipod to it.......

Wow, was able to play an audio song. Now about video ----> "CRAP"... cannot play !!!!

Reason, apple has turned off the 'TV Out' settings. This can only be used with an apple licensed docking station. Isn't this a stupidity commited by Apple...

have a look at the discussion at apple forum

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1119447&tstart=0

But Apple really came back to customer woes and hence released a new firmware v1.0.2 for iPOD

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5511978

Still, the TV-out problem is not solved...

had been to an Apple official store here in san diego. The guy in the store is not aware of the TV-Out prob and still sells the 3rd party cable and docking station which are of no use !!!!

They can be used with older iPODs which are mearly available in stores..

What purpose does it serve????

at present, $250 in burning in the pocket...

also, philips player with iPOD dock... isn't worth for the money paid....

Taj : One among Seven wonders of the World

2007-07-14T00:30:00.000-07:00

A matter of pride for all Indians around the world, that Taj-Mahal has been credited as one of the seven wonders of the world.

Yes, we need to feel proud about it. But, some years ago i had read an article saying Taj was not an monument built by Moguls, but Built by "Indians".

Here is the link that provides a more insight about the beautiful Marble Building

http://www.stephen-knapp.com/was_the_taj_mahal_a_vedic_temple.htm

After reading this article, everybody feels that this is a Hindu shivaling temple. But, why do the indian government still hides the truth? why do the world still claim that this is a Symbol of Love?

We have to approach the gov, and dig out the truth.

What's there still in those sealed rooms of Taj-Mahal (infact, Tejo-Mahalay) ?
Why does the Taj-Mahal doesn't face Mecca?
Why the marbles on the upper floors of the Taj-Mahal removed?
Why the big well was built?

But, a big question.... "Who will do it?"

Bandipur On Bikes (BOBs)

2007-03-23T07:29:00.000-07:00

Life was getting very bored.....

Office -> work -> home -> sleep - > office....... nothing new......

we ourselves (chappars) decided to break this chain, hence planned for a three day trek in bandipur forest.... out of 15 guys, 6 ppl decided to join, but this became 4, when we (myself, chethan, sreekanth and vivek) decided to leave for bandipur on bike !!!!!!!! yessssss bike....

we decided this on wednesday(14/3) night 11:45 pm that we will be leaving on bikes...... my Pulsar and cheth's Victor.....
I got my pulsar, serviced little (prepared for the loooong drive) filled with approx 6 ltrs of petrol on monday morning and was ready for the big venture....... supposed to leave at 3pm.... but actually left at 4:45 (after sorting some critical issues at office)... reached mysore around 6:45pm.
Booked two rooms at Daasaprakash hotel, went for a ride in the mysore city (my long time wish to ride in mysore city on my vehicle during night was fulfilled now...) Had our dinner at Daasaprakash hotel itself (where sreeki was gifted with throat infection...). On the morrow, morning 6'o clck we left for bandipur.... via gundlupet (had coffee here at 7:15 am) and then straight to mathunga wildlife sanctuary in kerala (@ 8:45am). We trekked in the forest for about 2 hrs (approx 15 kms), saw pug marks, wild elephants, cubs etc...... really an amazing experience.........
Headed for sulthan batheri (15kms from mathunga, towards interior of kerala) for lunch.... back to room.... rested for 2hrs.... then took a jeep safari (appu kootan's) abt 5:30 pm for abt 2 hrs...... The safari in the late evening was too good.....

Day 2:
Took Sreeki to a local clinic shop (suffering from throat infection), dropped him back to forest dormitory (where we had halted)... had breakfast at sulthan batheri....then headed towards "Kanthapara water falls" . Ride towards the falls was really memorable, those steep roads, narrow roads, hairpin curve and road that cross thru green tea estates........ we totally forgot the city life....
Rested in the water for abt 3 hrs..... then headed towards a local Dam..... then towards Phantom Rock....... back to dormitory ....... picked up sreeki..... dinner at sulthan batheri.... back to room slept...... (by the time we reached dormitory, there was a film show arranged by the forest officials for a kind of entertainment for the local tribes in mathunga wildlife sanctuary)

Day 3:
Sreeki was feeling better..... Started a looong trek in the early morning (abt 6am) in the forest. To our surprise...the forest was totally covered with morning mist....... the visibility range was abt 10 mtrs.... We were able to hear some sound of wild elephants, also tiger roar, peacock wawl.....etc
Reached a place called "Tri-Junction" where the forests of three states Kerala (Muthanga), Karantaka (Bandipur) and Tamilnadu (MadhuMalai) meet. Once again a vigorous trek in the deep forest..... the trek lasted for abt 5hrs.... came back to dormitory arnd 12:30pm. Freshned ourselves, cleared all charges (room rent, trekking fees etc)... had two tender coconuts and left for bangalore at 1:30pm..
Reached mysore around 4 pm... had little snacks for ourselves (also relaxed...) started the bike ride again at 4:45pm...reached maddur at 5:45pm....... had coffee (stopped really to allow free circulation of blood among all tissues of body... especially *****) left maddur at 6pm reached bangalore around 7 pm (offcourse, resting a while in ramanagara). The total kms were approx 710 for three days......

Really an amazing exp..... I wrote this blog on the next weekend (friday evening)...... and by the time i finished writing this, i am feeling the same.... life is getting bore......

So where shall i start for this weekend.........

Times of India in Kannada..........

2007-02-05T05:30:00.000-08:00

these days... in Times of india... they hav been giving an wonder full ad...

The kanadigas (specially anil kumble, aishwarya rai, narayana murthy, girish karnad, vijay mallya, prakash padukone) gave ______ to the world and we give them back the kannada paper.

I didn't understand what they want to say? or rather whats their intention?... do they really love Kannada language, kannada culture, history of kannada. or is that they want to establish their supremacy over the kannada dialies...

A basic doubt arises in my mind (as usual), if at all the TOI group have real love towards kannada language, culture.... they could have provided one more supplement along with the English version. This would have been much better... a morning newspaper with a combination of english as well kannada.... they know that most of the IT people in bangalore read TOI and most of them are non-kannadigas. If a kannada supplement is provided, it will add a some knowledge to them about kannada (though they may not be able to read, they can get a glimpse of the kannada scripts). This may also help some non-kannada ppl to actually learn kannada....

Printing a separate paper and providing ads in one the leading dailies shows a clear indication that TOI wants to enter kannada newspaper circulation, thus establishing supremacy in the regional dialies... giving tough competation to old papers like prajavani, kannada prabha, samyuktha karnataka.

If they print those articles found in the Bangalore times (about late night parties, those bi**ni model photos), i dunno how it will help spreading the kannada language, kannada culture and Our Heritage.

Jai Kannadaambe !!!!!!!!!!

Mungaaru Male....... hani hani Prem kahani...

2007-02-03T00:59:00.000-08:00

Sliding myself on the office seat, surfing the blogs..... remebered as a flash light that i wanted to post the review for the movie Mungaaru Male....

At this moment of time (being in the office on weekend), my review on the movie...

"A different, Good Love Story". Not in a mood to write the review. Its almost more than an month the movie has been released, and a google search on the movie will provide lots and lots of review.. Should i add one more of mine?

While writing this post, there's a music running background in my PC. Ofcourse its the song from Mungaaru Male.... and i.e.

Mungaaru Male...........

2007-01-29T21:29:00.000-08:00

To get rid of this boring lifestyle planned for a movie on the last weekend of january. On account of tippi's birthday treat, we decided to watch the movie Mungaaru male in PVR. But at PVR, when we reached we came to know that all the shows for friday were booked. Bit astonished. Also the show after 1'o clock were booked for the next two days...... baap re...... what a revolution??? Such a demand for kannada movies at PVR.

What to do....? as chethan said we moved to sagar theater on KG road. Reaching there at 2:30 pm saw a long Q. When enquired, that looooooooong queue was for 7:30 show and tickets for 2:30 have already been issued. Outside theatre, 45 rs balcony tickets were sold at Rs 200....... !!!!!!!!!!!!

Next moved to Pramod. Here....... hehe..... tickets for all the shows were sold in the morning itself. Bit curious to know, what stuff is there in the movie...... purchased tickets at Rs 125/-.......

Movie review in the next post........

Life is boring..........

2007-01-21T03:35:00.000-08:00

Life is boring.............

is that really true?...... ya i have heard some people saying that and wonder why do they say like that. There are many things to do, u can do what ever u want. etc etc etc...

But today, i experienced the boring life. Why this happens? might be because u want to do something and u r doing something else. You think in one direction, that thinknig gives birth for someother thinking, eventually giving you a kind of happiness and satisfaction.

But you are doing something else. Mentally you are thinking about some other thing and physically working on something different. Naturally you are not enjoying the entire happiness.....

Is this the reason for getting bored........... oh........ may be, orrrrrrrr may not be....... confused....

but one thing is sure.... a confused mind is the product of a boring life style....

Life Style ?????????

Muktha Muktha Mukthaaaaaaaaaaa... - After an year !!!!

2006-05-25T04:21:00.000-07:00

On the way back to home after office around 8-45 pm, i have observed one thing i.e. usually in the weekdays (monday - friday) a deserted look near my locality. This is because of the kannada mega serial "Muktha", which has a large pool of audience. Though the serial was crawling in the beginning, the court scenes and the special way in which the lawyer C.S.P (also director of the serial) argues, has attracted a huge number of audiences (all over the world).

The tiltle song of the serial "Muktha" reverberates in the ears. The lyrics of the song has a huge meaning. The song goes like this........

Song: Muktha teleserial’s title track
Lyrics: H.S.Venkateshamurthy
Music: C. Ashwath
Singers: C. Ashwath, Ratnamala Prakash, Fayaz Khan

-- ಮುಕ್ತ --
ಕಾರುಮೋಡ ಮಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಸುರಿದಾಗ ಕಣ್ಣ ಹನಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಮರದ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಮರಿ ರೆಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಸಿದರೆ ಅದರ ಗರಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಎದೆಯ ನೋವು ಹಾಡಾಗಿ ಹೊಮ್ಮಿದರೆ ಭಾವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂಧ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಎಂದು ಆದೇವು ನಾವು ಮುಕ್ತ ಮುಕ್ತ ಮುಕ್ತ

ಮೊಗ್ಗಿನಿಂದ ಸೆರೆ ಒಡೆದ ಗಂಧ ಹೂವಿಂದ ದೂರ ದೂರ
ಎಲ್ಲುಂಟು ಆಚೆ ತೀರ
ಮೊಗ್ಗಿನಿಂದ ಸೆರೆ ಒಡೆದ ಗಂಧ ಹೂವಿಂದ ದೂರ ದೂರ
ಎಲ್ಲುಂಟು ಆಚೆ ತೀರ

ಏರು ನದಿಗೆ ಇದಿರಾಗಿ ಈಜಿ ದಡ ಸೇರಬಹುದೆ ಜೀವಾ
ದಾಟಿ ಈ ಪ್ರವಾಹ
ತಾನು ನೊಂದು ತಿಳಿ ಬೆಳಕ ಬೀರುತಿದೆ ಒಂದು ಇರುಳ ದೀಪ
ನಿಶ್ಚಲದ ಮೂರ್ತ ರೂಪ

ದೂರದಿಂದಲೆ ಜೀವ ಹಿಂಡುತಿದೆ ಕಾಣದೊಂದು ಹಸ್ತ
ಆದೇವೆ ಬಂಧ ಮುಕ್ತ
ದೂರದಿಂದಲೆ ಜೀವ ಹಿಂಡುತಿದೆ ಕಾಣದೊಂದು ಹಸ್ತ
ಆದೇವೆ ಬಂಧ ಮುಕ್ತ

ಕಾರುಮೋಡ ಮಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಸುರಿದಾಗ ಕಣ್ಣ ಹನಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಮರದ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಮರಿ ರೆಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಸಿದರೆ ಅದರ ಗರಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಎದೆಯ ನೋವು ಹಾಡಾಗಿ ಹೊಮ್ಮಿದರೆ ಭಾವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂಧ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಆಗ ಆದೇವು ನಾವು ಮುಕ್ತ ಮುಕ್ತ ಮುಕ್ತ

i have tried to analyse the meaning of the song in the way i perceive it.

ಕಾರುಮೋಡ ಮಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಸುರಿದಾಗ ಕಣ್ಣ ಹನಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಮರದ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಮರಿ ರೆಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಸಿದರೆ ಅದರ ಗರಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಎದೆಯ ನೋವು ಹಾಡಾಗಿ ಹೊಮ್ಮಿದರೆ ಭಾವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂಧ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಎಂದು ಆದೇವು ನಾವು ಮುಕ್ತ ಮುಕ್ತ ಮುಕ್ತ

೧)ಕಾರುಮೋಡ ಮಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಸುರಿದಾಗ ಕಣ್ಣ ಹನಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಕಾರ್ಮೋಡ ಮಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಸುರಿದಾಗ, ಹೇಗೆ ಆಕಾಶ ತಿಳಿಯಾಗುತ್ತೋ, ಹಾಗೆ ಮನದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ದುಃಖವೆಂಬ ಕಾರ್ಮೋಡ, ಕಣ್ಣೀರಾಗಿ ಹೊರಗೆ ಬಂದರೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿರುವ ನೋವು ತಿಳಿಯಾಗುತ್ತೆ. ಆ ದುಃಖವು ಮುಕ್ತಿಯಾಗುತ್ತೆ.

೨) ಮರದ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಮರಿ ರೆಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಸಿದರೆ ಅದರ ಗರಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ಮರದ ಹಕ್ಕಿ = ಪಕ್ಷಿ. ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಮರಿ ತನ್ನ ರೆಕ್ಕೆಗಳ್ಳನ್ನು ಬೀಸಿದಾಗ ಗರಿಗಳು ಉದುರುತ್ತವೆ. ಸಡಿಲವಾದ ಗರಿಗಳು ಬಿದ್ದು ಹೋಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಆ ಗರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಮುಕ್ತಿ ದೊರೆಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ದಿಕ್ಕಿನಿಂದ ನೋಡಿದರೆ, ಆ ಹಕ್ಕಿಗೆ ತನ್ನ ತಾಯಿ, ತಂದೆ, ಗೂಡು ಎಂಬ ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತಿ. ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರವಾಗಿ ಹಾರಿ ಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ.

೩)ಎದೆಯ ನೋವು ಹಾಡಾಗಿ ಹೊಮ್ಮಿದರೆ ಭಾವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂಧ ಮುಕ್ತಿ
ದುಃಖ ಮನದಲ್ಲೆ ಮಡುಗಟ್ಟಿದರೆ, ಅದರ ನೋವು ಜಾಸ್ತಿಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಹೀಗೆ ಅಫೀಸ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಧ್ಯಾನ ಊಟ ಮುಗಿಸಿದ ನಂತರ, ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಕುಳಿತು ಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಬದಲು, ಎನಾದರು ಹೊಸ ಪ್ರಯೋಗ ಮಾಡೋಣವೆಂದೆನೆಸಿತು.

ಸರಿ, ಮಾತೃಭಾಷೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ, ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ ಮಾಡೋಣವೆಂದು ಈ ನನ್ನ ಮೊದಲ ಪುಟ ಬರೆದೆ.
