ಗುಲಾಬಿ

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ

ಅತಿ ಚಂದ, ಬಲು ಮುದ್ದು

ಅದೆಂತಹ ಬಣ್ಣ, ಕಣ್ಣಿಗಾನಂದ

ಮೊಗ್ಗಾಗಿರಲಿ ಅರಳಿರಲಿ 

ದಿನದ ದಣಿವಿಗೆ ಮದ್ದು

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ


ತೋರಹತ್ತಿದೆ ನಾನು

ಮನೆಮಂದಿ, ನೆರೆಹೊರೆಗೆಲ್ಲ

ನನ್ನದಲ್ಲವೆ ಗುಲಾಬಿ

ನಾನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿದ ಹೂವು?

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!


ಕಂಡವರಿಗೆ ಕೆಣಕಿತೊ

ಇದ್ದ ಮುಳ್ಳು ಚುಚ್ಚಿತೋ

ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಕಿಚ್ಚೆದ್ದಿತೋ

ಹಗರಣಕ್ಕಾಯಿತು

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!


ಗುಲಾಬಿ ಗಿಡದಲ್ಲೇಕೆ?

ಹೆಣ್ಣ ಮುಡಿಗೋ, ದೇವನಡಿಗೋ

ಸಲ್ಲಬೇಕಾದ್ದ ಕುಸುಮವದು

ಕಿತ್ತು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸ ಬೇಡವೆ

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!


ಅದೇಕೋ ಮನ ಒಲ್ಲೆಂದಿತು

ಕೀಳ ಬೇಕೇನಿದನು?

ಇದ್ದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರೆ ಇನ್ನು ಚಂದಲ್ಲೇನು?

ಕೀಳಲಾರೆನಾನು 

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!


ನೋಡ ನೋಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೆ

ಬಾಡತೊಡಗಿತು ಸೊರಗಿ

ಬಣ್ಣ ಮಾಸಿ, ದಳ ಉದುರಿ

ಬೀಳ ತೊಡಗಿತು ಏಕೋ

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!


ಕಣ್ಣೀರು ಸುರಿಸಿ ನೊಂದೆನಾನು

ಹೀಗೇಕಾಯಿತೋ ತಿಳಿಯೆ

ನನ್ನೆದುರಿಗೆ ಮಾಯವಾಯಿತೆ

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ?


ಕಾಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆನು ನಾನು

ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಹೂವಿನ ಬೀಡಿಗೆ

ಜಂಬವಡಗಿ ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಕುಳಿತೆ ನಾನು

ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲವಲ್ಲ.... 

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!


ಹೂವಿರದ ಗಿಡವೆಂದು

ಬರಿಯ ಮಳ್ಳಿನ ಗಿಡಕೆ

ನೀರುಣಿಸಿ ಆರೈಕೆ ನಡೆದಿತ್ತು - ಅದು

 ಗಿಡ, ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!


ವಸಂತನಾಗಮನಕ್ಕೆ ಸಂಭ್ರಮದಿ

ಮೊಗ್ಗುಗಳು ಮೂಡಿತು ಪ್ರತಿಯ ತುದಿ

ಮತ್ತೆ ಶೋಭಿಸುತೆ ಕಂಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತಿತ್ತು

ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯ ಗುಲಾಬಿ!

Those Three months in 2022

Have you heard of the phrase “being Blind-sided”?  If there is a way that I can describe, it is that - “I was Blind-sided”.  Blindsided means “Getting an unpleasant surprise from a most unexpected or least expected side” I did (and still do) believe in maintaining one’s health through good exercise and reasonable dietary restrictions (Not overdoing anything and be moderate, even though it sounds a bit boring). Overall, I have had an interesting life with a lot of physical activities built into it. The Day I was Blind-sided. 21st June, International yoga day. At Eagleton, the resident’s association had decided to celebrate it on 19th (Sunday) followed by breakfast. I had planned to go on a breakfast bike ride that morning and changed the plan to attend this. While my wife’s incentive was yoga, mine happened to be purely the nice breakfast that would be served post the yoga session. 19 th June Morning Generally, I’m an early riser (3.45AM) and on that day reluctantly,...

  Preface A sequel to a blog? It did not sound like a good idea. After all, any sequel never lives up to expectation especially after the reception of the first part. But then again, there have been sequels that have seen success like the movie “Bahubali”, "KGF" or the classic “Godfather”! So, why not, I asked myself. At the end, I decided that I’m writing to chronicle what I went through and to reminiscence and read it in my "Old age". While I do hope that it helps others who read it, I’m doing this to satisfy my writing urge. With this justification, I used my blogger friend and mentor, Sri Srinidhi as a sounding board and asked his opinion off a “sequel blog” He immediately said, “Good idea”. So here it is, sequel to my earlier blog   Those three months in 2022 Any blog needs a title and the first one that I wrote was called “Those three months in 2022” or “TTM 22” Without any further ado, “Those months after..” or “TMA 22” Those months after… Now, was I st...

My Brother’s friend

Long time back, my brother had a very close friend. Being so, he was also like an elder brother to me.  We lost touch with him many years back and even though we had made some feeble attempts to get back in touch, it did not work. Perhaps, more due to lack of intensity of getting back in touch from us and also from him.  He was a very genial and down to earth person. He had many an advice for me as I grew up.  When my brother attended his schoolmates 50th year get-together, he had hoped to see his old friend there and was disappointed not to see him. Enquiries with other classmates lead to an information that one of the classmates spoke to him about two plus years back and this old friend was sounding very sick with a feeble voice. Apparently, he had lost his job and was having health issues. The classmate gave a telephone number of the friend and it was not reachable. The “True caller” app suggested this was in the name of that old friend.  My brother spoke to me ab...
