ಕವಿತೆಗಳು ಭಾಗ 2

ಕರೆಯದೇ ಬರುವ ನಿನ್ನ
ಕರೆಯದೇ ಹೋದೆ ನಾನು
ಕರೆದರೂ ಕೆಳದಂತಿದ್ದವಳ
ಕರೆ ಕರೆದು ಸೋತು ಹೋದೆ ನಾನು

---------------------------------------

ಮದುವೆ ಮದುವೆ ಮದುವೆ
ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಇದೊಂದು ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ
ಹುಡುಗ ಹುದುಗಿಯರಿಗಿದು ಜೀವನದ ಸುಪಾರಿ
ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಹಂಚಿಕೆಯಿರಲು ಜೀವನ ಸುಂದರ
ಇಲ್ಲದಿರೆ ಬಾಳ ಬರಗಾಲ ಭೀಕರ

-----------------------------------------
ಹಲವರಿಗೆ ಕಾಲೇಜ್
ಕಲಿಯುವ ಜಾಗ
ಕೆಲವರಿಗೆ ಅದು ಪಕ್ಷಿಧಾಮ

------------------------------------------
ಕಮಲದ ಕಣ್ಣಲ್ಲಿ
ನನ್ನಯ ಬಿಂಬ
ಪ್ರೇಮದ ಹ್ರದಯದಲಿ
ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬ

------------------------------------------
ಎದುರಿರಲು ನೀನು
ಎಲ್ಲ ಮರೆತೆನು ನಾನು
ಸಮಯ ನೋಡಿ ನೀ ಹಾಕಿದ ಟೋಪಿ
ತೆಗೆಯಲಾರದೆ ಆಗಿಹೆನು ಪಾಪಿ

------------------------------------------

ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಕೊಳದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನೊಂದು ಹಂಸ
ಆಗಸದಲಿ ಹಾರುವ ಬಯಕೆಯು ಎನಗಿಲ್ಲ
ನೀರೆ ನನ್ನ ಬದುಕಿಗೆ ಆಧಾರ
ಅದು ಬರಿದಾಗದಿರಲಿ ಎಂಬುದೊಂದೇ  ಬಯಕೆ
 -------------------------------------------
ಹೊಗಳಿಕೆಗಾಗಿ ಆಡುವ ಮಾತಿಗೆ
ತೆಗಳಿಕೆಯ ಮುನ್ನುಡಿ
ತೋರಿಕೆಗಾಗಿ ನಡೆಸುವ ಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ
ಅಸಮಾಧಾನವೇ ಕನ್ನಡಿ

ಆಸೆಗಳ ದೋಣಿ

ಆಸೆಗಳ ದೋಣಿಯ ಅಂಬಿಗನು ನಾನು
ದಡ ಸೇರುವ ಹಂಬಲವ ಮರೆತಿಹೆನು
ಕಂಡ ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಭ್ರಮೆಯೆಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿ
ಸಾಗರದಲಿ ಸಿಲುಕಿರುವ ಮೂರ್ಖನು ನಾನು

Love Love Love

The wind of love in me

Always asks a question

Why people don’t love?

Why people misunderstand it?

When it reaches the heart, the source of love,

It says “When there is expectation,

When there is absence of involvement

Love can’t exist”

I am your reflection

I merged with you in perfection

When you cry I cry

When you smile I smile

When you laugh I laugh

When you are broken, I shatter into pieces

When you are not there, neither I am

ಕವಿತೆಗಳು

ಕಿತ್ತ ಹೂವಿನ ಗಂಧ
ಬಾಡುವ ತನಕ
ಮುರಿದ ಮನಸಿನ ನೋವು
ಸಾಯುವ ತನಕ
-------------------------

ಕನಸುಗಳ ಸಾಲು
ಬಾಗಿಲಲಿ ನಿಂತಿತ್ತು
ನೀ ತೊರೆದು ಹೋದಾಗ
ಚೂರು ಚೂರಾಗಿತ್ತು
------------------------

ಮುಡಿಗೆರಿಸಿದ ಹೂವ
ಬಾಡಲು ಬಿಡೆನು
ಕೆಂದುಟಿಯ ನಗುವ
ಮಾಸಲು ಬಿಡೆನು

ನೀನಿಡುವ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಯ

ಗಮನಿಸುವೆ ನಾನು 

ಮುಳ್ಳಿರಲು ದಾರಿಯಲಿ

ಹಾಸಿಗೆಯು ನಾನಾಗುವೆನು


ನನ್ನ ಜೀವನದ
ಕನ್ನಡಿಯು ನೀನು
ನೀ ಬೀಳಲು

ನಾ ಚೂರಾಗುವೆನು

----------------------------

ನೀ ಬಂದು ನಿಲ್ಲಲು 

ಎದೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ರಂಗೋಲಿ 

ನೀ ಮಾತಾಡಲು 

ತೂಗುತಿದೆ ಜೋಕಾಲಿ

ನೀ ಜೊತೆಗಿರಲು ಜೀವನ

ರಂಗು ರಂಗಿನ ಹೋಳಿ 

ನಗುವಿನ ಸಹಿ ನೀಡು

ಕಟ್ಟುವೆನು ತಾಳಿ !!

The Father

Everyone calls me a mathematician. I am working at Stanford University. I still wonder how I came so far. There is a man behind all these. He is the one who taught me how to live life rather than how to lead live.

It’s a story about a father , who is not only a father but a teacher of LIFE. His name is Abhimanyu, my Father.

When I was 10, he gave me a wheel and told me this is the first lesson from me.

I asked him “What should I learn from wheel ?” .

He said “Keep Moving !! “.

That phrase inspired me a lot. I was an average student in school. My friends used to teach me how to copy and I used to do that and used to get good marks.

One day my father saw me preparing the copy chits. And he said “Try once without it”.

I listened to him and dint copy in the exam . And I failed . When I told him the same, he said “I wanted you to taste the failure, Now try studying on your own, use your brain, give some work to it ! and taste the success” .

He knew my ability, so he used to give me suggestions like that. I wondered when the results came for the next exam, I stood  first in  class with highest marks!

Days passed and I entered college. I was recognized there with my problem solving skills. Some used to like me and some not. I never used to like the progress of others and used to get angry about it.

My father observed that fact one day and told me “All birds fly and they love to fly together”

I didn’t understand what he was telling at that moment. But later I realized that he was telling me that, we are all humans belonging to same species, and we need to help each other and love each other.

That was the major change in my life. I learnt sharing is heavier than selfishness, it stands always.

I got internship from Stanford University and later I joined there as a lecturer in mathematics. It has been 5 years here in this University. Today is my birthday. I am reading the letter sent by him.

Dear Son,

                You are getting older, you will become weak physically as you grow. But you should become strong mentally. You are nearing to death. You will come to know the beauty of it when you reach there. You might be wondering why am I telling about death on your birthday! . The reason is death is the root of everything. The fear inside you is because of death. When you get ready to accept it, there won’t be any fear.

                I want you  to be a man with no fear. I have taught you so many lessons. This is the last. I know it’s difficult to teach about fear, but it’s not impossible. I want you to experience it. Do everything whatever your heart says without hesitation. Don’t think about result, Just Do it. Heart is the only thing which will be with you always, in all situations.

                I don’t want to explain much about it, because experience matters more than words. Last but not the least “Birds fly when their wings become strong, but they never forget their nest” .

I wish you a very happy birthday. May god bless you with his infinite love.

Your Father

Tears started from my eyes. I learnt everything he taught me but forgot about my nation and family. He was giving me  a hint that he wanted me to be with him. I decided to go back to my nest.
