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

Me and My Stars

Image
I would like to welcome you to my space of thoughts with a short story. I'm sure even you had a similar experience with the facts. Me and My Stars I gazed out of the window to see if any one of them is missing. I know I can't make out even if few of them go absconding. Still I like counting them when I don't get sleep. Small, big, bluish, reddish and so on.I admire all, but am a little biased towards big, blue stars. As a kid I believed they were paris [angels] in bright blue frock with magical powers. If our wishes were true they would come down and fulfill them when we sleep. That is what they did in the stories told by my granny atleast. Later my teacher taught me a fact that they are suns but calledstars because they are far away. Disappointed I was. Because I had so many wishes that pari had to bestow. More and more facts accumulated. Stars turn into a black hole. I would say it is a transformation of a good ol' light emitter into an eater. Heck! Why should I care?...

The Groundnut

Image
In the evening I used to take a walk to a park near by and sit there for sometime. Listening to the chirps of the birds, looking at the squirrels moving around gave me peace of mind. On one such evening a little boy came to me asking me to buy groundnut. just thought it might help the boy in some way and bought it. He neatly wrapped in an old news paper, handed over to me, took two rupees and left happily. Now what do i do with these groundnuts in my hand? simply started eating it watching the squirrels climbing up , coming          down. Swiftly moving on the grass             in search of food. As few of them were moving around in my front I dropped few groundnuts for them too. All of them simply ran away but one slowly returned after sometime as if it understood my intention. We had a good time eating groundnut together.It became a routine for me to buy the groundnut, for  boy to sell it to me and for s...
