ಕಡಲರವಿ!

ಕನ್ಯಾಕುಮಾರಿ! ಭಾರತ ದೇಶದ ತುತ್ತ ತುದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತು ಸೂರ್ಯಾಸ್ತ ಅಥವಾ ಸೂರ್ಯೋದಯವನ್ನು ನೋಡುವುದು ಒಂದು ಅನರ್ಘ್ಯ ಅನುಭವ. ಈ ಅವಕಾಶ ೨೦೧೧ ರ ಕಡೆಯ ವಾರ ನನಗೆ ದೊರೆಯಿತು. ಆ ಕಡಲ ತೀರದಲಿ ನಿಂತು ನನ್ನ ನಾ ಮರೆತಿದ್ದಾಗ ಮನದಲಿ ಮೂಡಿದ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಸಾಲುಗಳು ನಿಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.


ಕೆಂಪಾದ ಆಗಸದಿ ತಕದಿಮಿ ಕೇಳುತಿರಲು
ಕಲ್ಲು-ನೀರ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶದಿ, ಸಂಗೀತ ಸ್ವರವು ಮೂಡಿ
ಕಡಲ ಅಲೆಯ ನಾದಕೆ ಸಂಜೆಯ ರವಿ ನಲಿಯುತಿರಲು
ಬಲು ಚೆಂದ ನೋಡಲು ಮುತ್ತಿಟ್ಟ ಆ ಕಡಲರವಿಯ ಜೋಡಿ

- ಅಶ್ವಿನಿ
Note: I have described the lines that lingered in my mind as I stood watching the sunset at Kanyakumari.

A cry not heard!

Ray of light far from sight All his need is a caring feed A place to sleep, a blanket to keep - the despodent waif Warm and safe Cruel men see the poor one plead, Emptiness filled hearts hesitant to share a part. On the pavement's corner sits this lad a bit. Weak and pale telling his tale None hear Do they feign fear? Hoping - is all he could do for some fresh hot stew Every passer-by down the lane Ignore this guy and all his pain Why is this scene not wiping off my brain Serene it Remains Revives time and again As I sit by the window of the train.

Say primary school or exams - it brings back memories of lot of fun filled activities along with the normal syllabus. Languages, Basic math,science and social studies are the ones included in the normal stream. The ones out of this are - General Knowledge, moral science, story telling, project work - these become the building block for a child's growth in a complete way. Last week an evening as I returned home, a neighbour's kid was waiting for me the enitre afternoon for help.He needed guidance to complete his project work. The school had come up with a concept to bring the creativity out of a child's mind.It goes this way - use the waste materials and create something useful - Socially useful and productive work(SUPW).

Cent story 17: Love like rain

Rain poured softly the day Krishna first saw Purvi—draped in yellow, lighting incense at the Ganapati pandal. Their eyes met like a prayer answered. Thunder rolled, but all he heard was her laughter. From borrowed umbrellas to shared street-side chai, their story bloomed. Every rain after felt like a song only they understood. When they wed under cloudy skies, even the priest smiled, “Blessed by Bappa Himself.” Years passed, but every drizzle pulled them back to that pandal, that glance, that moment. Love, like rain, sometimes arrives quietly—soaking deep, leaving music in its wake. Krishna and Purvi were always meant to be.
