Akkanavara Vachana

ತನು ಕರಗದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಪುಷ್ಪವನೋಲ್ಲೆಯ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಮನ ಕರಗದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಗಂಧಕ್ಷತೆಯನೋಲ್ಲ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಅರಿವು ಕನ್ದೆರೆಯದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಅರತಿಯನೋಲ್ಲ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಪರಿನಾಮಿಗಳಲ್ಲದವರಲ್ಲಿ ನೈವೆದ್ಯವನೋಲ್ಲ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಭಾವಶುದ್ಧವಿಲ್ಲದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಧೂಪವನೊಲ್ಲಯ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಹೃದಯ ಕಮಲವಿಲ್ಲದವರಲ್ಲಿ ಇರಲೋಲ್ಲ್ಯ ನೀನು
ಎನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಯೆನುಂಟ್ ಎಂದು ಕರಸ್ಥಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಮ್ಬುಗೊಂಡೆ
ಹೇಳಾ ಚೆನ್ನಮಲ್ಲಿಕರ್ಜುನ

i have been hearing about this vachana since i was kid. I have heard it from my Grandpa and also seen this song in the movie Kittor rani chennamma.....it always has been a ear catcher.....anybody who can say they did not like this?

sankuchita manobhava - petty minded ness

As Usual i was seeing Rajkumar's movie BHAKTHA KANAKADASA. I think most of u might have seen that.
There u can see the petty minded ness of some Bhakthas of Vysa Theertha.
I started thinking about this all along. We can see that most of the bad things happening in this
world are basically because of this mind set. Be it Office, Room and Room mates, project and team, Politicians,
etc etc, everywhere the divisions appear as people start thinking in a very small way, the selfishness in them
comes wide open. Why is this so. Why do some people want others to work for them and why still they wish that
the success is to be named for them,
why the Senior team member wants his junior to work for him , but yet the success, money, designation change is to given to
him, why is this. Why in this world are all human beings selfish. Why a former PM from karnataka want his son to be Karnataka
CM, why cant he take some one else who is more capable of delivering promise be made a CM, why a CM from TN want to blackmail a central Govt on kaveri water release even when he knows that karnataka farmers are dieing , commiting sucides as there is no water for them for irrigation, why a Central Govt minister wants all important project go to TN alone wrt to telecommunication and not be given to other states, why a Railway minister wants many of Railways projects to be implemented in his state , when there are many other states which really require this for economic progress, why some ppl want to demolish a mosque and build a temple, why a former TN CM cannot really talk about her legacy of being a mysore girl, why a TN Super Star cannot even talk about kaveri or kannada related issues in TN, why Rajkumar knowing Tamil became a big issue when he was abducted by Veerappan , Why Alamati dam became an issue with Andra when Karnataka was not stoping the release of water to them, why neighbouring states are so jealous of Bangalore as being called the IT capital of INDIA, why why why. Do we have answers for these? Basically the question is why people are jealous of others who are successful , why are they so greedy?

ನನ್ನ ಒಲವು - ಒಂದು ನೋವು

ನಾ ಬೇಡಲು ಹೋದಾಗ ನನ್ನ ಒಲವನ್ನ
ನನ್ನ ಹುಡುಗಿ ಹೇಳಿದಳು ಅವಳ ಒಲವನ್ನ
ಅದು ಒಲವೋ , ಸ್ನೇಹವೋ ತಿಳಿಯಲು ಸಮಯ ಹಿಡಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಅವಳಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಒಲವು ಎಯಕೆ ಅರ್ಥವಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ

ನನ್ನಾಸೆ ನೂರಿತ್ತು , ಕನಸು ಸವರವಿತ್ತು
ಮಂಜಿನ ಹನಿಯ ಹಾಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಕರಗಿ ಹೋಗಿತ್ತು
ಈ ನೋವ ಮರೆಯಲು , ನಾ ದಾರಿ ಹಿಡಿದೇ ...
ಆಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಕುಳಿತಳು ಅವಳು ನನ್ನೊಡನೆ ಬರಲಿಲ್ಲ


ಎರಡು ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಇಟ್ಟು ಹಿಂದುರಿಗೆ ನೋಡಿದೆ
ನನಗಾಗಿ ಅವಳು ದಾರಿ ನೋದುವಳೇ ಎಂದಾಸೆ ಇತ್ತು
ನನ್ನ ಇರುವಿಕೆ ಅವಳಿಗೆ ಮರೆತೇ ಹೋಗಿತ್ತು
ಆವಳ ಆಸೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಸಾಗ ಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಪಟ್ಟು ನನಗೂ ಬಂದಿತ್ತು

just i wanted to thank all my friends who came into my life, made an impact, changed it, influenced it and i dont know what to say, but made me as i am now..i thank all my friends for it.....

As far as my memory goes i had only one friend way back in 1986-88 when i was studying in Meera Vidyanikethan, Hanumanth nagar branch, bangalore. His name was Santosh,i think he is my first friend. every day i used to meet him and we both used to go to school by walk together. But yes i had to quit that school to join Sri Saraswathi Vidya mandira( SSVM) for my next schooling and hence i lost complete touch with him as he had to shift his house else where.

My SSVM life had got me friends whom i remember most are
A S Abhilash, Manohar, Chetan, Sandeep Sharma, Smitha, Kavitha, Renuka, Shyam, Chandra mohan, etc etc..it was a long journey which ended in 1994. During the same time, Bangalore had a culture of Grand parents taking their kids to a park where we kids can play. There one Ajji( old lady) used to play with me, she was one of my friend, unfortunately i have forgotten her name.

Next came the period which i can call as a GOLDEN period in my life
where i was felt important, where i was recognised, where i felt proud of myself. Yes it was my schooling in Bangalore Hingher Secondary School( BHSS) , Chamarajapet, BT Road, bangalore.

Here i got Yogi, Anji , Hemantha, Cheeku or Srikantha, govinda, shyam, SV rajesh, BG arun, Pavan Ramadass, jai or Sunil, mahesha, K P Naveen, Rajesh. I got good schooling where apart from the studies, they taught us that we should be honest, we should be truthful and be ready to accept our mistakes. Thats what i saw in most of my friends and hence i could connect to them even today , even after 14 years.

From there the next two years in PUC were a kind of lull, but yes Hemanth, Arun, Shyam, karthik, preetam were around.

After my PU life, i went to do my Engg in Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Techonology where i met my friends like Sandy( Sandeep D) , Darshi ( Darshan MN) , Shashi( Shashikala SM), Shantha( K) , LR ( Soumya LR), My3( mythri), Pavan, Arvinda, Onte( Kishore Kumar), Dinu( Dinakar Bhardwaj), and many more. During the same , aprt from my college, i made friends in my locality for the first time in my life, pradeepa and Sachin. One of my very good friends whom i consider as the most talented persons whom i have met in my life.

then my career started, where i met many many people.
First friends in satyam were offcourse my room mates in hyderabad - Prashanth savanoor, Chandrashekhar, Murali. Then it continued with the friends in my first project like Anitha, Kiran, Padma, Sujatha, Mohan, Dattatreya Bhatt, leela, Pooja Maste. Then i moved onto GEGDC where i got friends like Bobby( subramanyam Bommaraju) - he is almost my bro, leela, Naveen, Shivananda, Vamsi, Mastan. My offshore stay , apart from these ppl i met Suri, Ramu, Setty( srinivasa Iyyengarr). Later on i moved to onsite i got two new good friends like Prakash , kalyan. Guru is a new addition to my list . :-)

yes i am not saying..that is all ...as i have a long life to live and yes i will all these ppl in my life and add a few as well.

may god bless u all u had to read this ;-D

is love of our parents more or our lover's / Wife's love is more

I am quite sure that this question is on every guy's mind since long.
some go in one way and others in the opposite way. I am not here to give any lecture on why one way is better than the other...I am here just to say what i feel about this issue

Frankly i have gone through the phase where i wanted to tell my parents about a person whom i wanted to marry and i would not be marrying anyone else other than that person. But As that fairy tale vanished and reality sinked in, i think now my decision is to abide by what my parents tell and go with them...

as a saying a kannada
ಮುತ್ತುಕೊಡುವವಳು ಬಂದಾಗ ತುತ್ತು ಕೊಟ್ಟವಳ ಮರಿಬೇಡ
( when u have ur wife, dont forget ur mother)

I dont understand what makes us feel that some one whom we know for 30 days or 2 years become so important us than our parents who have been
supporting us all through our lives, living only for us. Why do we tend to forget them at that time. Is it the young age which is requesting for a partner or is it the lust of a young body. Nonthless i cannot tell what it is..Yes i know if it is a real love it goes beyond it, but i dont understand one thing of why the same love of our parents which we would ignore at that time...not sure but i know for sure that all young lads would agree with me on this.....and the ladies, your comments are always welcome...

one more New year

i have been wondering all through my life ( since 1990s though), that why are we so excitied about the New year...be it Yugadi ( yugada adi = begining of an era) or the Jan 1st.

every year we see people wishing each other, taking new resolutions, implementing new decisions etc on this special day. Why is it so?
what difference does it have when compared to other days. Why people feel special about this day? lot of many questions for which i dont have any answer. Do you guys have any?

as the song of Da Ra Bendre goes,
ಯುಗ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಕಳೆದರೂ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಮರಳಿ ಮರಳಿ ಬರುತಿದೆ
ಹೊಸ ವರುಷಕೆ ಹೊಸ ಹರುಷವ ಮರಳಿ ಮರಳಿ ತರುತಿದೆ
ಮರಳಿ ಮರಳಿ ತರುತಿದೆ
