ಸಾವುಗಳ ಬೆಳೆವ ಹೊಲ...ನನ್ನ ನೆಲ

ಅವಳ ಗೋರಿ
ಗೋರಿಯ ಮೇಲೊಂದು ಹಣತೆ
ಹಣತೆ ಬೆಳಕಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣೋದೆ
ನಾನು ಬಿತ್ತಿರೋ ಹೊಲ , ನನ್ನದೇ ಆದ ನೆಲ...

ದೇವರ ಹೋರಿ
ಹೋರಿಯನು ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ಮುದ್ದಿನ ಲತೆ
ಲತೆ ಹೊದ್ದಿರುವ ಅಂದವೆ
ಅವಳ ನಗೆ, ನನ್ನ ಒಲವಿನ ಬುಗ್ಗೆ...

ಹೋರಿಗೆ ಜೀವವಿಲ್ಲ
ಲತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅವಳ ನಗೆಯಿಲ್ಲ!!

ಹಣತೆಯ ಬೆಳಕು ಹರಡುತಿದೆ
ನನ್ನ ಹೊಲಕ್ಕಿರೋ ಒಂದೇ ದಾರಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ
ನೆನಪುಗಳ ನಾನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡ ದಾರಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ...

ಹಸನೆನಿಸದ ಆ ಹೊಲದಲ್ಲಿ
ಅದೆಸ್ಟೋ ಅಂಥಹ ಗೋರಿಗಳು
ಒಂದಷ್ಟೇ ಅವಳದು,
ಮಿಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲ ನನ್ನ ಆಸೆಗಳದು.....

ಮತ್ತೆ ಮುಂಗಾರಿಗೆ ಮೈಯೂಡ್ಡಿ ನಿಂತಿದೆ ನನ್ನ ಹೊಲ
ಆ ಹಣತೆ ನಂದಿ ನೆಲ ಹಸಿರಾಗಲು...

"ಕುರುಡನ ಕಣ್ಣೊಳಗಿನ ಹೊಳಪು ನನ್ನ ಈ ಪ್ರೀತಿ
ಎಲ್ಲಿಯದೋ ಅಲೆ ನನ್ನ ಎದೆಯ ತೀರಕೆ ಅಪ್ಪಳಿಸಿದ ರೀತಿ"

ಮೌನದ ಮಾತು - ಹೀಗೊಂದು ಕಥೆ

ಹಾರುತಿರುವ ಪತಾಕೆಯಡಿ
ನೂರಾರು ಶವಗಳ ಮೌನ -ಮಾತು
"ಇದು ಕದನ ವಿರಾಮವೇ ಅಥವಾ ರಾಜ ನಿದ್ರಿಸುತಿಹನೆ?"
ಪ್ರಾಣಪಕ್ಷಿ ಹಾರುತಿವೆ
ಚಳಿ ಗಾಳಿಯೊಡನೆ ಅಂತಃಪುರದೆಡೆಗೆ ,
ಕಿಟಕಿಯ ತೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು -
ಕದನ ಸಾರವನು ಕಿವಿಯಿಟ್ಟು ಕೇಳಲು ..

ಕತ್ತಲ ಜಗತ್ತೆ ಹಾಯಾಗಿದೆ ,
ಪಕ್ಕ ಮಲಗಿರುವವ ಇನ್ನು ವೈರಿಯಲ್ಲ -
ವೈರವಿಲ್ಲ ಯಾರೊಂದಿಗೂ ಮತ್ತೆಂದಿಗೂ ,
ಸೋಲಿನ ಭಾರ ಹೊರುವ ಹೊಣೆ ಇಲ್ಲ -
ಗೆಲುವಿನ ಗಾರುಡಿಗೆ ಮರುಳಾಗಿ ಕಾಯುವ ಕಷ್ಟವಿಲ್ಲ,
ಬೆಳಗಾದರೆ ಒಯ್ಯುವರು ರುದ್ರಭೂಮಿ ಅತ್ತ ,
ಮತ್ತೆ ಅಣಿ ಮಾಡಲು ರಣ ಭೂಮಿಯನು ......

ಅರಿಯದ ನಾಳೆಗಳಲಿ ಅಡಗಿದ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ
ಆಸರೆಯಾಗಿ ನಿಂತು ತನ್ನ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಭಾರವನ್ನು
ನನ್ನ ಖಡ್ಗದ ಅಂಚಿಗೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಯುದ್ಧ ಮುನ್ನ
ಹೂ ಮುತ್ತನಿತ್ತು ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದ ಮಡಗಿ ಮಲಗಿಹಳೆ....??
ನನ್ನ ಸಾವು ಅವಳ ಮನಸಲ್ಲಿಹುದೇ ..??
ಈ ಮುಗ್ಧ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗೆ ಮೊನ್ನೆ ಮೊನ್ನೆ ಯಷ್ಟೇ
ಮೊದಲ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಇತ್ತ ನನ್ನ ಮಗುವೆ ಉತ್ತರಿಸಬೇಕು ...
ಬರಿ ನನ್ನೋಬನದು ಅಲ್ಲದ ನಿಂತ ಉಸಿರುಗಳ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಇದು ....

ಅರಸನ ಬೆನ್ನಿಗೆ ಚೂರಿ ಇಹುದು
ಕಣ್ಮುಂದೆ ಅಗಲ ಕಂಗಳ ರಾಣಿ ಇಹಳು ,
ನನ್ನಂತಹ ಮುಚ್ಚಿದ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳೊಳಗೆ ನಾಳೆ ಇದೆ -
ನಮ್ಮವರೆಂಬ ಮಡದಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ನಾಳೆ ಇದೆ ....

ಎಚ್ಚರವಾಗು ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ದೇವರೇ
ಯುದ್ದದ ಸದ್ದಿಗೆ, ನಾ ಮಣ್ಣಾಗುವ ಮುನ್ನ ..
ಸಾವಿಗೊಂದು ಬೆಲೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟು
ಯುದ್ದ ,ಜಯ ಇವಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲ ಅರ್ಥವಿತ್ತು
ನೀ ಕಲ್ಲಾಗು ಬೇಕಾದರೆ ,
ನನ್ನ ಸಮಾಧಿಯಿಂದ ದೂರ -ಬಹು ದೂರ ......

Song - Written some 4 years back

Betrayed by the present

words found wounded
at that day's edge,
mind was blown everywhere
a minute before
my eyes washed themselves,
by day's hours falling as egoistic tears......


every cell of my body
had gone lil crazy
they all were ready
to disclose the set truth
living with my chilling joy,
letters got designed in same old way,
but this time no pranks...!!!


I shivered being on terrace,
an uneasy feel
created heart beats race,
breathe count accompanied me
makin even more harder to face,
gait got changed to shuffle
pushing myself to "loved menace".....

u were with me in dreams
u were with me in days
u were everything in me
days where i flyed
never bein alone,
its u a wing of mine
never letting me go-low....
u with ur love and care
wass my unbounded empire,
feel of warmthness-from life tht we did share,
smiles with your big hi,
were making me go dizzy...

if my stupidness was bit of fun
ur blushed look made me sizzling,
if i had danced with u and none
it was in dark and in my dream's dwelling....


seconds scared me offering to fight,
a reply was expected to let me go light,
i couldnt break ur silence nor ur tears,
i felt suffocated with my words wounded
overwhelmed with emotons
whom i never had cared...!!
it lasted all in a while
crashing my dreams pile,
a lil revenge for your way bold,
u left every my next word unfold....


blind hope made me cry,
revenged model of u asks me why..??
my ego just bows...

Budget 2010 - on the lines that I have drawn

Im preoccupied by the conclusion that I derived for myself after analyzing what budget has for people like me. Sounds strange but im convinced with these “Budget does not really matter to a normal salaried employee like me.” Our financial minister(for that matter off course any politician cum economist) knows how to play dies near the hearts of middle class people. Above 30% of Indian citizens (im here referring to the ones who are below poverty line and/or uneducated) do not bother to give a thought about what budget is and what is in it for them.

Remaining comprises of two categories of people.
First being the Cattle of our nation i.e. Middle class people.
And the second group I refer as compass of the our economy


When I was referring middle class people as cattle, I had in mind that cattle carries any load without even bothering about what load it is carrying. It adjusts its own pace when the load increases or decreases. Likewise even us, being the cattle of our economy we bother only about how much load we carry than what we are carrying.
Hence Budget gets nothing but the change in load and we adjust our pace accordingly.

When Budget 2010 is considered though it appeared like we are getting benefited, owing to finance ministry to intelligence our gain leveled ground again.

Someone might just question what about new scheme? Are not we going to get any benefit out of it? Yes we are directly but the profit has been an invariant though you apply any budget to it. Indirect taxes, Petrol/Diesel price hikes, plausible food price inflation and to mention so many, will draw frown lines by erasing any left over smile which new tax scheme has gotten for you.

Am I sounding Pessimist or like the one in opposite party?

But if you are ready to set aside all your pain in your buns then, we can say this budget as growth oriented budget and proudly pat our finance ministry for that.

While concentrating on less deficit and investing on as many sectors as possible, budget tries to move the country towards development. Considering the focus on Healthcare, Slum rehabilitation, Education, Infrastructure, Power, renewable energy and other key sectors one would easily see the development of country in the eyes of Pranab, our Hon finance minister. (Sorry he wears spectacles most of the time)

Now the other category called the Compass comprises of people who have are directly affected by budget. Their directions change in the direction of our economy (partly subjected to the effect of global economy) and our finance ministry moves as the Compass directs it. Let me not dig about it (at least for now).

“Comfort” for everyone and development of nation must not be the two sides of a coin.
Hope future has a day in it, where I can say our GDP is in double digits still my contended heart sings with it.

Pandora and her jar [Pandora's so called Box]

Pandora, as in the Greek mythology, is derived from the word which has meanings like 'all' ,"gift", "gift from all","giver of all","all gifted" and she is the first woman. Greek mythology says she is created by Hephaestus. It was the order from Zeus to create a woman as a punishment for mankind. This was punishment for Prometheus' theft of Fire from Zeus(in the reason to help the mortals).

Prometheus known for wily intelligence stole the Fire from Zeus and gave it to the mortals. He has been known since then for his pivotal role. His character first appeared in the Hesiod's "Theogony" . Though the creator of this character ,Hesiod (8th BC epic poet) projects him as a helper of mankind somehow he remained as a lowly opponent to Zeus in the readers of Greek Mythology. He helped the mankind by giving the fire. Hesiod revisits Prometheus's character in his later work "Works and Days" and writes "Not only does Zeus withhold fire from men, but "the means of life," as well!". [ Here I stop about him which otherwise would take me in writing more about Prometheus and his heroics than our topic!]

This act of theft enraged Zeus and he sent Pandora as retaliation! She was accepted as gift(besides the warning from Prometheus) and she came with a Jar in her hands. That is the one history knows as the Box - Pandora's box.

Actually as the mythology says it was a jar.

Pandora's box also has its presence in Homer's lliad which is much older than Hesiod's Theogony.

Pandora was created from Earth and Water. All the gods her with many talents;Aphrodite gave her beauty, Apollo music, Hermes persuasion, and so forth. She was created with all the Seductive offerings from all the gods. That might be reason why her name is Pandora.

Epimetheus,brother of Prometheus married her after accepting her as gift from Zeus.
Pandora who was instructed not to open the jar anytime lets her curiosity win over her mind. She opens the Jar!
Jar had all the things that the mankind hadn't known till then. But nevertheless they were not in need of that[my opinion!].

The jar had "Hope" at the bottom of it but above "hope" there were all the evils. Thus she lets all the evils onto the mankind by letting the jar open.

Few things in the jar other than the evils as mentioned in the epics are ills, diseases, and burdensome labor! [Hmmm burdensome labor still prevails ;-)]

She hastened to close the lid of jar.In the act she was successful in closing the lid only before she lets the hope out of the jar, thereby only letting the evils out.

This was the answer in mythology to address the question "Why evils exist?". World's troubles started then and they have continued to challenge our mankind too :-)

Since then the word Pandora's jar has traveled from epics to our daily lives and thereby not letting us know few things by saying that is a 'Pandora's box'.. Correct it! Its a Jar.

Next time somebody says "Its a Pandora's box" then do not open the lid but make a hole from bottom and take out the hop.

Since we all need it! and our next generation needs it to stay calm even when living with "all evils"!

Before publishing this post, I take the question "Did Pandora really deserve the blame for releasing the troubles?". This post is brief enough not to know much about her. Here are my apologies because now I am really mixed up with feelings towards her ;-) Man,as epics say she is most seductive and she evokes strong desire in all who see her and wants to know her!!!!

Dividing my rupee - Budget and Its possible effects

Budget 2010:

What our Pranabji might consider and look into before this year budget:

1. Last year deficit of 3.3 Trilion rupees
2. Aid the sectors that are badly hit last year
3. Maintain the GDP growth rate
4. Low inflation rate and also reduction in public spending

Personal tax, Direct foreign investments, Service tax and SEZ etc (These might not get missed out in budget for that matter).

On the basis of last financial year and its effects on this year's budget,I take my word to say below are the sectors which might get attention in the coming budget.

Sectors that are likely to get relief or more attention this budget may include:

1. Infrastructure

Reason: Considering the fact that GDP has gone down when compared to last three fiscals, economic strengthening would include public investments in infrastructure and its development.
Last fiscal year's growth year rate 6.7% which is not in comparison with previous three years' consistent growth rate of 9%. But this accounted by global economic melt down

Possible effects: Infrastructure shares might see heights at the start of the year or just after the budget. Metals(specially steel) and cement industries might also get benefited by this welcomed change.

Say if Budget reads the way I m expecting(about this sector) then,

Divide your rupee such that you give more paise into this sector while doing or planning your investments. Sure this year it is going to earn you more than what you are expecting from it!!

2. Textiles and Gems

Reason: These are expected to get relief from Govt as these are badly hit by the economic slow down in the last financial year.

Possible effects: May not be predicted as this is not sure whether the relief will be directly from Govt or by providing low interest rates from banks. That is by forcing the banks to assist these sectors by providing funds at low interest rates.

Watch out before planning your investments in these sectors. I say "Wait"!

Now after writing down all these I feel there is a need to analyze year 2010.What it was for India?? I got this topic while I was thinking how shall I plan my investments for the coming year. If this information could give me a little idea how should I divide my rupee next fiscal,certainly it would help you too.

I will catch you with next article on "Dividing my rupee - Indian economy (2009-10)".
