Unveil the Other Side

ಖಾಲಿಯಾಗಿದೆ ಎಮ್ಮ‌ನ‌ಸು, ರ‌ಸ‌ಗ‌ಳ‌ ಪ‌ರಿಚ‌ಯ‌ ಮ‌ರೆತು ಯೋಚ‌ನೆಗ‌ಳ‌ ಕ‌ಳ‌ಚಿಕೊ0ಡು Hruದ‌ಯ‌ದ‌ ಕೋಟೆ ಮುಚ್ಚಿರ‌ಲು, ನೆನ‌ಪುಗ‌ಳ‌ ಮುಸುಕಿಹಾಕಿದೆ ಭಾವ‌ನೆಗ‌ಳ‌ ನ‌0ಟು ಬಿಡಿಸಿಕೊ0ಡು ಆದ‌ರೂ ಎಲ್ಲೋ ಕಿ0ಚಿತ್ ಆಸೆ, ಮ‌ತ್ತೊಮ್ಮೆ ಜೀವ‌ನ‌ ಪುನ‌ರಾರ‌0ಭಿಸುವ‌0ತೆ ಸುಖ‌ದು:ಖ‌ಗ‌ಳೆರ‌ಡ‌ನು ಅನುಭ‌ವಿಸಿಕೊ0ಡು.

Far in my thoughts The smile he brought I tried not to smile back My fears buried in a sack It wasn't a big deal Trying to have me sealed Was too little a shy Baby And that's my way He came sat and chuckled There I lay all buckled No words pour Everything seem so sour Hustle and bustle Noises heard He walked away This time not to return this way.

Alone, accompanied by thoughts Colorful, in shades of black and grey life, flows in an unknown pattern complex, situations that come by love, only that sustains

After having attended the posh & pomp celebrations at a house warming ceremony at the relative's we hit the road to get back to destination home sweet home. It was not the usual route we'd take, that's cos we had to hire an auto and the driver took the shortest path available.  Oh! what a pleasing sight it was passing through the roads that once were a common hangout . be it a local movie in those single screen theaters, shopping in the only famous center around then, snacks to much on in the hotels well known then ( much before the Italian, Mexican and Chinese cuisine dwelled into business here). nostalgia hit the passing soul as it crossed this familiar part of city.. This post is mainly aimed at those who know the Bangalore of 80's & 90's .. Hope you remember the roads of Majestic. Guess you know what it feels like.

1970's Amulya was 24. Not very appealing from the outside, many alliances had come and gone with a rejection. She gave up hopes of marriage and forced Kaushik, her younger brother to get married and settle down. Soon a bride was chosen and the wedding took place with all the posh and pomp. Good at heart, Amulya treated the new bride as if Kruti was her own sister.  Kruti was beautiful and the entire family was proud of their choice for Kaushik. Kruti though beautiful had a stone heart. She found fault in all that Amulya did. Soon she made all believe that Amulya had a boyfriend from a different caste. Amulya could not take in any more of these. Next morning the door to her room was open. Amulya was lying in a pool of blood and had attained salvation.

She came, saw and walked away It was the month of May Flowers Bloomed, Summer doomed I wait standing there for one glimpse, It was the month of August Not sure if it was love or lust She came smiled and waved her hand It was the month of November My mind went into a state of slumber Next I know, am on the hospital bed It was the month of May I am out of coma ,  is what I heard.
