                                                 ಚಂದ್ರನ ಪಯಣ



ಬಾನಂಗಣದಲಿ ಸರಿಯುತಿರುವನು ಶಶಿಯು
ದಿನರಾಜ ದಿನಕರನ ಇರುಳ ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಯಂತೆ
ಉದಯಿಸಿದ ಕೆಸರ ಕೆಂದಾವರೆಯಂತೆ
ನಿಶೆಯ ನಶಿಸುತ್ತ ನಡೆದ ಹಾಲ್ಗೆನ್ನೆಯ ಶಿಶುವಂತೆ

ಅಳಿಯಿತು ಅರಾಜಕತೆ ಬೆಳೆಯಿತು ಮೋಹಕತೆ
ಇರುಳಾಯಿತು ಅನನ್ಯ ಅತುಲ ಚೆಲುವಿನೊರತೆ
ಉಕ್ಕಿತು ರತ್ನದಾಗರ, ನಾಚಿತು ಕಡಲ ಕಿನಾರ
ನಡುವೆ ನಾವೆಯ ದಾರಿ ಕಂಡಿತು ಬಲುದೂರ

ಶಶಿಯ ಸೆಳೆತಕೆ ಸೂಲೋಪ್ಪಿತು ಶಶಕ
ಒಪ್ಪಿಸಿತು ತನ್ನ ತನವ, ಶಶಿಯಾದನು ಶಶಾಂಕ
ಹಿರಿ ಹಿಗ್ಗಿದವು ನಿಶಾಚರಿಗಳು ಮೊಳಗಿತು ಝೇಂಕಾರ
ಸರಿರಾತ್ರಿಯೊಳು ಸ್ವರರಾಗಗಳ ಮಹಾಪೂರ

ಕಂಡನು ಶಶಿ ಕನಸುಗಳ ಸರಮಾಲೆ
ನೂರಾರು ಮನಗಳ ಬಿಂಬದ ಮೇಲೆ
ಆಲಿಸಿದ ರೈತನ ತವಕ ಬೆಳಗಿನ ತನಕ
ಅರಿತನು ಹದಿಹರೆಯದ ಮಾಯಾಲೋಕ

ಇರುಳೆನಿಸಿತು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆಗಳ ಮಹಾಶಾಲೆ
ಯೋಚನೆಗಳ ಮೂರ್ತಸ್ವರೂಪದ ಟಂಕಸಾಲೆ
ದಿನಕರನ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ರಾತ್ರಿ  ಕಾವಲುಗಾರ
ಚಂದ್ರನಾದನು ದೇವನಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಕನಸುಗಳೊಯ್ಯುವ ಸರದಾರ

ಬಂದಿತು ಅಂತ್ಯ ಚಂದನ ಚಂದದ ಪಯಣಕೆ
ಮತ್ತೆ ತಾ ಬರುವೆನೆಂದು ಮರೆಯಾದ ಗರಿಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ
ಹಗಲಿರುಳುಗಳಲೆಗಳಲಿ ತೊಯ್ದಾಡುವ ಬಾಳನೌಕೆ
ಕಂಡಿತು ಬಹಳ ಹಿಂದೆ...
ಪರಿಪೂರ್ಣತೆಯ ದಡಕಿಂತ ಬಹಳ ಹಿಂದೆ

Love as it is....

"Love" - the thing which everyone felt in one form or the other being humans. When I think what is love ? what makes it so powerful tool in the world for which people do amazing things which otherwise impossible to imagine, I end up nowhere . I never end up finding an answer. There are few things I realized when I went through many phases of life when love was all around me as well as when there was no hope of that.

What I felt is love is all about giving,all about someone else, all about telling someone "am all yours", " i will be there for you"," my life is yours", "all i need is you " and so on. There is  no place for "me","I", " my life","My family".This is what keeps them going with each other. It needs a lot of sacrifice to love  someone and its very difficult thing to do. Most of the people think that they are in love but over time they change and may forget whether such thing existed in their life. Its very true fact that love can not be done by everyone. Love is unconditional.

Though nothing can be concluded about this feeling , I can think beyond doubt that this is the driving force behind creation of many wonderful things in the world.

Life as it is...

"Life" is the most complicated term I ever came across in my life. I always used to think about how to find an answer to the question "why are we living?". Most of the things we do in our lives does not seem to answer this. All that we do is to make our stay here more comfortable. We study to get a job, a job to get the money and the money to get everything.

Beauty of life is everyone "lives". If you ask some studious fellow in your college "are you having fun?" he will say "Yes.!!". He thinks being a bookworm is fun. He loves it. On the other hand a workaholic will say am enjoying my stay in front of a desktop. A "geek" will say 24/7 affair with gadgets is my life. If we say someone is not good or wrong its just the way we look. This makes me think that life is relative. We always create some rules and try to impose on others. If they follow those they are treated as good ones and the others are bad.

This relativity of thoughts always leads into conflicts. As everyone is right in their own ways, it becomes difficult to arrive at a common point where things can move on easily. "Getting in to the shoes of others" is the most difficult task for many of us. But to live in peace we need to circle out some part of relativity in to an absoluteness. This make me conclude life is dual in nature as light scientifically is. Absolute and relative..!!.

Other interesting aspect of life is who controls it. Do we really get what we want or do we really do what we always wanted to do?. Some people take life as the way it comes. Some live in the illusion that they decide what happens to them.

I have seen people living with so much rules in their life and following those without knowing why there are doing that. For them, following rules is the greatest thing they are doing in life and it makes them feel proud. The importance they give to materials is something which always makes me think "why are they living?".

Sometimes I feel if we try to contain life by a set of rules, the beauty of life will be lost. Doing only those things which matter in life is the most "efficient" way of living. For example we should give importance to what kind of tea we drink than what material the tea cup made of and what color it is.

One thing we should always keep in mind is we have got only one life to live and we all going to live for a finite amount of time.Whenever we are at the point where we need to choose among ways, thinking "what really matters" helps us taking right decisions assuring no regrets later.

Once Mr Jobs said " Knowing that I am going to die is the most important tool which helped me while taking great decisions". How true it is ( "The absolute part of life").
