ಹಸಿರೆಲೆ!

A couple of months ago I had posted a comment on a photo clicked by a blog friend Siddeshwar from Life at Dharwad and here is what it said in Kannada:
The link to the post is Leaves

ಚಿಗುರೊಡೆದು ಎದ್ದಿರುವ ನೀ ಹಸಿರೆಲೆಯೆ
ನಿನ್ನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬಂದು ಸೇರುವ ನಿನ್ನವನೆಲ್ಲೇ ?
ಎಳೆ ಹಸುಳೆಯಲ್ಲ ನೀನಿನ್ನು
ಮಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಲಿದಾಡುವ ಆಸೆ ಬಂತೇನು
ಬಾನೆಡೆಗೆ ತಲೆ ಹಾಕಿ
ನೆಟ್ಟಗೆ ನಿಂತಿರುವೆ ನೀ ಏಕೆ?
ಮುನಿಸೆ ? ಏಕೆ ಎಲೆಯೇ
ನಿನ್ನವ ಬರಲೊಲ್ಲನೆ೦ದನೆ ?
ಬರಲಿ ಬಾರದಿರಲಿ
ನಿನ್ನ ನಗು ಮಾಸದಿರಲಿ
ಸದಾ ಹೀಗೆ ಇರಲಿ
ನಿನ್ನ ಹುರುಪು ಎದೆಯಲ್ಲಿ

Gist: I am talking to the leaf that is proud of its youth.
As you sprout and grow strong, you indulge in a feeling of loneliness. Is it the same case with you dear green leaf? Whatever may come please keep the smiles , stand high and be cheerful.

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.

SUPW - Socially useful and productive work!

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). SUPW is another learning area falling under the non-scholatic domain - This ensures that the students develop better understanding of their social and environmental issues.

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.
