ತೃಪ್ತಿ

ಜೀವವಿರುವವರೆಗೂ ಜೀವ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡ ತೃಪ್ತಿ ನಿನಗುಳಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ,
ಸತ್ತಿರುವವನಿಗೆ ಜೀವ ತುಂಬಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಜೀವ ತೆಗೆದುಕೋ ಬೇಕಿದ್ದರೆ. - VV

Apartheid

Feb 21, 2013

Dark, painful days full of anguish are blemished.
Fair, pleasant days full of content are cherished.
It's a mental apartheid. - VV

Feelings:

How are they generated? Are they any different from our shadows? We are sure we create them but we can't own them, may it be within ourselves or in others.

Everybody feels lonely at certain times. Some feel lonely at all times. Perhaps the loneliness is a result of expecting others to understand us better?

Everybody has passion towards something. Someone's passion is someone else's apathy. A person passionate about something feels disregarded by the one he expects to be equally passionate about, and discerns left alone?

Perhaps biggest enemy of a person is tacit rendering of self pity. Or is it the inability to perceive others' unhappiness bigger than ours?

We create our own goals and squander our time in wandering. Which is bigger here, the selflessness or selfishness? The goals may be set for ourselves but can also take care of a larger cause. May, not doing anything about it and feeling helpless to do so, instill ineptness in us?

There are many life troubling questions. Some face them, others avert them. Some may feel there is no bigger question in life than why question life in first place? And may people facing them feel there's no bigger answer to life than their very life being the way it is ?

Every question may have more than one answer and so does every answer have more than one question?

We hear, we see, we experience. It's all the same or it may be different; but life goes on. We then pass on the legacy and will the inheritance be questioned as what did we ever own to pass on to our clan or people in common?

And the quest perpetuates....... for generations to come.

ಕನ್ನಡಿ

ಕನ್ನಡಿ:

ಒಂದು ಕ್ಷಣ ಕನ್ನಡಿ ನನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣಲ್ಲಿ ಕಣ್ಣಿಕ್ಕಿ ನೋಡಿತು. ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಕಣ್ಣು ಸೇರಿದ ತಕ್ಷಣ ಕನ್ನಡಿಯ ಕಣ್ಣು ಬೇರೆ ಕಡೆ ತಿರುಚಿಕೊಂಡವು. ನನಗೋ ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯ, ಸಂಕೋಚ ಎರಡೂ ಆದವು. ನನ್ನನ್ನೇಕೆ ಕನ್ನಡಿ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯವಾದರೆ ನೋಡದೆ ಇರುವವನನ್ನು ದೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿ ನೋಡುತ್ತಾ ಇರುವೆನಲ್ಲ ಎಂಬ ಸಂಕೋಚ. ಹಾಗೇ ಗಮನಿಸಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ಅದರ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳಲ್ಲೇನೋ ಹೇಳಲಾಗದ ನೋವು, ಮಾಡದ ತಪ್ಪಿನ ಅನುಭೂತಿ ಕಂಡು ಬಂದವು. ಮಾತನಾಡಿಸಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದಾಗ ಕನ್ನಡಿಯೇನೋ ನಿಶ್ಚಯಿಸಿ ಬಾಯಿ ತೆಗೆಯಿತು. ಶಬ್ದ ಬರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಇಷ್ಟು ದಿವಸ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದನ್ನೇ ಪುನಃ ಹೇಳಲಿಕ್ಕಾಗದ ತಾತ್ಸಾರ, ಜುಗುಪ್ಸೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಬೇಸರ ಕಂಡುಬಂದವು. ಅಷ್ಟು ಹೊತ್ತಿಗೆ ಬಾಗಿಲಿನ ಸದ್ದು ಕೇಳಿ ಬಾಥ್ ರೂಮಿನಿಂದ ನಾನು ಹೊರಗೆ ಬಂದೆ. -VV

The Mirror:

At once, mirror saw me for a moment. No sooner the eyes met, than the mirror resorted to evasive looks and avoided direct eye contact with me. I had bewilderment mixed with sheepishness. Bewilderment because I wondered why the mirror was not looking at me. Sheepishness because I was looking at someone who is turning eyes away from me. With more intent, when I examined deeper, I observed a kind of inexplicable pain and burden of mistake that was not committed. When I opted to ask mirror about it, it thought of something and opened its mouth. There was no voice. There were boredom, disregard and disgust of talking about the same thing time and again with me. I came out of bathroom hearing some sound near the door.
