ಬಾಡಿಗೆ ಮನೆ

-


ಬಾಡಿಗೆಯ ಮನೆ ಇದು
ಕೆಲಕಾಲ ತಂಗುವೆವು।
ಮೆರೆಯುವೆವು ನಮದೆಂದು
ಸಿಂಗರಿಸಿ ನನದೆಂದು॥

ಸುಣ್ಣ, ಬಣ್ಣಗಳಿರಬೇಕು,
ಕಾಲ ಕಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ದುರಸ್ತಿ।
ವೆಚ್ಚವೆಲ್ಲೆ ಇದ ನೀನು
ಹೆಚ್ಚೆನದೆ ವ್ಯಯಿಸಬೇಕು॥

ಬರಿಬಾಡಿಗೆಯ ಮನೆಗೇಕೆ
ಈ ದುಬಾರಿ ಖರ್ಚುಗಳು?
ತರ ತರದ ತೋರಿಕೆಯು
ಥಳುಕು, ಬಳುಕಿನ ಆಟ?

ಕಾಲವಿದದರ ಬಾಡಿಗೆಯು
ಕಾಲ ಕಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ಕೊಡುತಿಹೆವು।
ಕಾಲ ಮುಗಿದಂತೆ 
ಓಡಿಸಿ ಖಾಲಿಮಾಡೆನ್ನುವರು॥

ಇದ್ದ ಕೆಲ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ
ನೆರೆಯವಗೆ ಹೊರೆ ಬೇಡ। 
ಹಗೆ ಬೇಡ, ನಗೆ ಚಲ್ಲು
ಜಾಣ ನೀ ಬಾಡಿಗೆದಾರನಾಗು॥

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...
