ಹೊಸ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ಹೊಸ ಗಾಳಿಯ ಹೊಸ ಬಾಳನು ತಾ ಅತಿಥಿ

ಹರಿವ ನೀರು ತಿಳಿಯಂತೆ. ಹಾಗೇ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಕೂಡ. ವಿಚಾರಗಳು ಹರಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಹೊಸತನಕ್ಕೆ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ತಾನು ತೆರೆಯುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದಲೇ ನಾನು ಬರೆದಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದ ಬರಹಗಳ ಹಳೇ ಕಂತೆಯಿಂದ ಕೆಲವನ್ನು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ತೆರೆದಿಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಇದೊಂದು ವಿಚಾರ ವಿನಿಮಯ ಅಥವಾ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆ ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡೆ ಓದಿ. ನಾನು ಬರೆದಿರುವುದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ. ಹೊಸ ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊಸ ಬೆಳಕು ಹರಿಯಲೆಂಬ ಬಯಕೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಿಮಗೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಹೊಸ ವರ್ಷದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು. ************** Life; so beautiful We've the choice And we'll choose to be happy Misery isn't life, it's just time We know it'll change Even if it doesn't, we will It's life that's beautiful Laugh with a feather light heart It's just another day after all Life isn't about destiny Let's celebrate the journey Less known may it be ************* You know the most beautiful thing about imagination? it sets ur mind free. And you know what’s worst about knowledge? It tells you only facts and limitations. When you dream your imagination, your hopes fly high to see it come true. Every day swings between imaginations a

To u dear i

Am calm as if I found something after a long haul, as if my brain was crowded with confusing thoughts all these days, n they r settling down now. Away from the crowd within, am trying to embrace the silence. The time i lose myself in my thoughts is the best time spent. For a while i don't wish to be known by anyone. For a while i want to be there as if am not there. I want some peace with myself for a while.I want some time to feel guilty and apologize for not giving enough time to listen to myself, for neglecting "YOU" dear "I". I know you are the only one who's going to be with me even if i cared or not, "YOU" are the only one. ********************************************************** It's a joyous moment for a writer when her writing is not only appreciated, a profound thought is added as well. Thank you Sudhir for a thoughtful epilogue. When I wrote "To u dear i" I didn't feel it was incomplete. After receiving Sudhir's

ಭಾನುವಾರ ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಬಿದ್ದ ಮಳೆಗೆ ಬಿಂದಿಗೆ ಹೂವು ಕಂಡದ್ದು ಹೀಗೆ. ಮೊದಲು ಕ್ಯಾಮರ ಹಿಡಿದು ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ಕಿಸುವ ಎಂದು ಹೋದರೆ ಮಳೆ. ಸರಿ, ಛತ್ರಿ ತಂದು ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ರೆ ಗಾಳಿಯಿಂದ ತೆಗೆದ ಫೋಟೋಗಳು ಬ್ಲರ್. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಮಳೆ-ಗಾಳಿ ಎರಡರ ತೊಂದರೆಯಿಂದ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳೋಕೆ ಹೂವಿಗೂ ಛತ್ರಿ ಹಿಡಿಯಬೇಕಾಯ್ತು. "The rain to the wind said, 'You push and I'll pelt.' They so smote the garden bed That the flowers actually knelt, And lay lodged--though not dead. I know how the flowers felt." -Robert Frost

Fake Notes from ATM

You go to an ATM. Draw 15,000/- in the evening. Next day you take 2000/- out of 15,000/- , go to the same same bank to deposit. Mr. Banker wouldn't accept a 500 rs note saying that it's fake. Bank manager will not take responsibility for such notes unless you prove that it's been drawn from the same Bank's ATM. What do you do? I'm not telling you a story. This has happened with my neighbor and could happen to anybody. So the lesson is, be attentive at the ATMs too. Cross check notes with the denomination 500 and 1000s. If you have any better ways to deal with such situations please do leave a note.

Buddie called me for a usual talk. This time he was thrilled. I could make out his excitement. It was for all good reasons. He got VISA for an onsite assignment just after a few months of joining an MNC. Haaa... I said, "I should idolize you. All your hardwork and determination is paid off". He politely declared that it was all because of God's grace. He said, "Look, just a month ago I was thinking of travelling by a local train so that I could save some money. Now, I have a flight ticket booked. I feel so weird". How Buddie had struggled for more than six months for a job after his contract with a company was over, looked like a fairy tale. His contract was terminated mojorly because of recession. With three years of experience in the field of Mobile Protocol testing he started his job hunt. Initially he used say he'd get an offer soon. It didn't work as he had thought it would. 'N' number of interviews and no replies. Waiting for one single re

Fake Player

IPL is over with the glory as expected. I didn't follow it much except last few matches. Every now and then updates would just fall on my ears. That's how a blog called Fake IPL player caught my attention. At the bottom of this blog you will see a disclaimer by the Fake player claiming that everything in the blog is mere fiction. I'm less bothered about whether he's a true player or fake. I'd rather sit back and enjoy reading his blog.... Fake IPL Player . I enjoyed reading the blog more than watching that game indeed. As you go on reading the Blog, appreciation naturally comes out for the writer for his sense of humor. So well written that at the end of the day you still ponder, who could this be in the team Knight Riders. Some say it could be Ganguly or coach himself. Else who could have such good gyan of dressing room dramas. What masala did he add to cook up those names. Walllah!!! they r finger lickin' good. My fav are Kishen kanhaiyya (Krishnamachari Srika
