ದೂರದ ಊರಿನಲಿ

A creation tonight. Tabla is loud. Singing lacks passion. Simply put its same me!

ಕರಿಹುಬ್ಬಿನ ಜೋಡಿಗಳಡಿ ಮೂಡಿದ
ಮೋಜಿನ ಸೂರ್ಯರಲಿ
ಮಾತಾಡುವ ತೆರ ತೋರದೆ ನಿ೦ತಿಹೆ
ದೂರದ ಊರಿನಲಿ || ಪ ||

ತೂರಾಡುವ ಮನ ತೋಯುವ ತೋಪಿನ
ಎದೆಯೊಳಹೊ೦ಚಿನಲಿ
ತೋಚದೆತೊಟ್ಟಿಹ ಒಲವೆಳೆನಿಲುವಿದೆ
ಪೇಚಿನ ಬುಟ್ಟಿಯಲಿ || ೧ ||

If you are in to poetical metre stuff (Chandas), observe that all even and odd lines have equal time syllables (Akshara maatre). He are some details.

Here is a prasthara for Palla (First stanza)
6 + 6 + 4 = 16 (so obviously fits 16 beat Teen Taal)
4 + 5 = 9 (so strench the last syllable for 7 maatre)
6 + 2+4+4 = 16
4+5 = 9 (so strench the last syllable for 7 maatre)

tire tube and the spoon

Low life found its bicycle punxured esterdie. Filled some blow. What a rip off! 50 cents for a tube full of air and when you know it is going back to where it came from! It did. All the tools I had to fix were a few forks and an old glue! I thought I was smart. Patched(2) the tubes. Put the tire back only to find one of them chose to let some air out!

Thus begins my journey to Canadian Tire. Bought a tire a tube some nuts and a wrench. I had my spoons in the bag. Replaced the front tire and rear tube right there! Fixed the seat and my bike is ready for this summer! I still have 2 nuts to spare. Let me know if yours is loose!

Latent Managers

Who shaves the barber? The refrain in this post is going to be:

"everything needs to be managed and the manager and the managed can not be both at the same time."

If this sounds obvious, well, it isn't! Labourers out there, forget about contracts, projects or assignments and think about 'living' a bit. I will explain why all decent looking things have a manager on top and why life is not an exception.

Parasitic growth of embryo/foetus is managed by womb. Babies are managed by their mothers. Childhood is managed by parents and caring neighbourhood; our education by teachers and school. The work we do my managers and the managers by their managers and so on.

What it is that we do that goes unmanaged? Depending on our choice, marriage is a stuff that can go unmanaged if we by any chance believe we are on top of it! Parents and relatives have tended to manage marriage. If we chose to believe that we can manage our own marriage we will be successful as much a barber trying to dress his hair himself. If you are wondering what else is managed? Until and after our death not only cremation is managed by the last and the 16th ritual but also memories, by the anual day of ancestors.

With the increased ecomonic activity and independece, being humble is more difficult. Some never get to feel the need for such a 'behaviour'. Arrogance when directed at some latent managers of our lives will harm and we wont even know we are our enemies!

The Indian media on "payroll"

The Indian media has been successfull in confusing the audience completely. What is important to citizens is that Election Commision remains unbiased and independent and not if X is its head or Y is its head. What is important is whether accusations are correct.

Chawla having been indicted by Shah report is no holy saint and at least is a questionable character while Gopalaswami has no such precedence. What matters to me is if the accusations are right and if so we want an impartial person head Election Commission save India's democracy. It is clearly evident from Congress stand and BJPs accusations that Chawla is "wanted" by Congress! Pleople want to know WHY?

People also want to know whether CNN-IBN and NDTV are on Congress' payroll? Why do we not see an investigation of the Mangalore pub kind? Why do we not see story that is most important: is Chawla the would be CEC honest? Article 324(5) on the other hand is not written in Greek and we do not need CNN-IBN/NDTV type interpretation!

Why prosperity is problem

Yes, prosperity not just can be but is always a problem for the those who are nor prosperous! Imagine this scenario:
Instead of much of India, whole of India with an exception of very few services were to be engaged in agriculture, income disparity would much be much less. In other words becasue a select few can not affoard to buy just becasue they can; this would not let inflation raise making life much easier for the rest of the consumers. I will not elaborate.

Individuolis Liberosis

Alcohol is the biggest cause for road accidents and biggest health concern all over the world. Let us not mistake condemning attack on some innocent people and supporting alcoholism. We should not let people take law into their hands, but that does not mean that we should promote smoking, drugs and alcohol. What attack on women are we talking about? This is an elite issue: problem for women who can afford imported liquor.

Millions of women and men starve without water. Why do media not pay attention? Thousands of women are being trafficked and being sent to dance bars why is media silent? Disproportionate attention on incidents like this and not caring for majority women issues is a sign of elitism in Indian media. Where is the Gandhian principle now? Media shouts on oct 2 that this nation is forgetting Gandhi? Did Gandhi ask everyone to booze and snooze?

Media and any responsible individuals should encourage youth to participate in more intellectually satisfying activities such as sports, music science and many more. Freedom does not mean girls and boys should drink. Criminals are arrested anyway. The bleeding heart secularists and irresponsible politicians are not only sensationalising this but have thrown all journalistic principles and codes of conduct to air by broadcasting opinionated news and liberal biased blaberation. Responsible youth should emerge smart and clearly distinguish the uncalled for act of criminals and be careful not to support pub culture that will eventually damage human resource of our country by drowning them in brainless indulgence. Most "social workers" and "media" sound like they are on rich people's payroll. It is time we wake up and bring some sense to these half baked activists (so called activists will help themselves if they read little history outside what they studied in their textbooks).

A few living in the cities are up with propaganda and are casuing long term damage. U R Ananthamurthy said terror laws should be applied. If there was ever a need to apply terror laws it is against this guy UR Ananthamoorka. It is a shame that he is a Kannada writer. Oppurtunists like him speak and decent people have to listen to him what a shame! Why has drinking and drugs become Indian culture and that too a progressive one at that? I want to listen some people with some common sense talk about this. Liberals do not even have kidneys forget brain!
