ಧಾರಾಳಿ

ರಾತ್ರಿ ಟ್ರಾಫಿ಼ಕ್ ಸಿಗ್ನಲ್ನ
ಹಳದಿ ದೀಪ
ಪುಕ ಪುಕವೆಂದಂತೆ
ನಿನ್ನ ಮನಸ್ಸು..
ಗಾಡಿ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಬೇಕೋ
ಮುನ್ನಡೆಸಬೇಕೋ
ನಿರ್ಧಾರ ನನಗೇ
ಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದು

Gambler! O ya.. I am!

Gambling!
Ah! What a high you bring in
What a low you have pushed me to!

I gamble gambling!
I gambled my studies
Bunking classes
N biking around places

I gamble gambling!
I gambled my jobs
Hopping around
Quitting and finding new ones

I gamble gambling!
I gambled love
Going behind it
And catching the one came after me

I gamble gambling
I gambled money
Buying and selling
Materialistic stuff

I gamble gambling!
I gambled my time
Lost hours
Doing useless things

I gamble gambling!
I gamble life
Daring to touch unknown
Courageous to take an unpredictable deep dive 

I gamble gambling!
I gambled my studies
Learned the life skills
Over missing theories

I gamble gambling!
I gambled my jobs
Learned new skills
Over the comfort of mundane work

I gamble gambling!
I gambled love
Learned to compromise and sacrifice
Over enjoying pampering

I gamble gambling!
I gambled money
Gave up making money
To experience and enjoy life

I gamble gambling!
I gambled my time
Lost hours
To maturity

I gamble gambling!
I gamble life now
To explore into the unknown
Expecting nothing but new experience!

ತರಾವರಿ ಈ ಬದುಕು

ಬದುಕು ದುಸ್ತರವೆನಿಸೆ
ಮನದ ಬೆನ್ನು ಸವರಿ
ನುಡಿವೆ
ಹೆದರುವೆ ಏಕೆ
ಬದುಕೇನು ಸ್ಥಿರವೆ?

ತರವೋ ದುಸ್ತರವೋ
ಜೀವಿಸಿಬಿಡೊಮ್ಮೆ
ಇರುವುದೊಂದೇ ಬದುಕು
ಈ ಜನುಮಕೆ..

ಕಟ್ಟಿಡು ಚಿಂತೆ
ಕಂತೆಗಳ
ಮರು ಜನುಮಕೆ

ಕಂಡ ದಾರಿಯಲಿ
ಸಾಗುತ್ತಾ
ಕಾಣದ ದಾರಿಗಾಗಿ
ಹುಡುಕಾಡುತ್ತಾ
ನೇರ ದಾರಿಯ
ಕಬಳಿಸುತ್ತಾ
ಅಡ್ಡ ದಾರಿಯ
ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ
ನಿಲ್ಲದಂತೆ ನಡೆ

ಬದುಕು ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯ
ಉಸಿರಿರುವವರೆಗೂ...
ಜಯಿಸೇ ಬಿಡುವ
ಈ ಬದುಕ
ಸಾವಿನಾಚೆ ಏನುಂಟೋ
ಅರಿತವರಾರು!

Celebrating failures

Failures..
Part of my life!

Failures..
I accept & embrace them
They are the stepping
Stones for my success

Failures..
I do not run away from them
They teach me lessons
Make me mature

Failures..
I give myself chance to make mistakes
I experience from them
And learn better ways

Failures..
Made me realize my weakness
Have made me stronger
And quieter .

Failure..
To love..
Failure..
To be loved..

Failure..
Against winning..
Failure..
In wining..

Failure..
To be a priority..
Failure..
Prioritizing..

Failures..
I accept & embrace them
They are part of my life
They enrich me n engage me towards success!

ನಾಟಕ

ತುಣುಕು ಪ್ರೀತಿಗಾಗಿ
ಇಣುಕುವ ಮನವೇ
ಕೆಣಕುವೆ
ಅಣಕಿಸುವೆ
ಎಲ್ಲಾ, ತುಣುಕು ಪ್ರೀತಿಗಾಗಿ!

Scotched

Yes your highness!

No one can beat you
No one can replace you
No one can ever give the same feeling
As you can give!!

Yes your highness!!

Worries - deleted from the dictionary
Courage - added in every page
The elite feeling
And a sense of flying up in the air!

Yes your highness!!

Mind talks the heart
Heart does not listen to mind
And she rules!!
Actions and words in sync

Yes your highness!!

Truth flows easily
Honesty gate opens
You make us talk
Straight and to the point

Yes your highness!!

I don't like you
But I like the feeling you bring in!
There is no discrimination
Be it vodka, whisky or wine

Yes your highness!!

Mind listens to heart..
But body does not!
It is not ready to just walk
But ready to fly!!

Yes your highness!!

Heaven is down on earth!
Binded in a glass or mug!
Nothing to fear
No need to worry
Concentrate on the highness!

Yes your highness!!

I don't like you..
But I love the feeling!!

Wait..here it comes

Waiting never ends..
Wait..
Waiting never ends..

I wait in the night
For sun to rise
I wait in the day
For moon to shine

I wait for the
Night to fall
I wait for the
stars to twinkle

I wait for the
Day to begin
I wait for the
Sun rays to wake me

I wait for the spring
I wait for the fall
I wait for the sunshine
I wait for the rain

I wait for the
Good days to come
I wait for the
Bad days to pass

I wait for the happiness
I wait for the peace
I wait for the pain to vanish
I wait for everything with patience

I ask myself
Am I missing living
In this waiting business?

I ask myself
Did I miss anything
In this waiting business?

I wait for the answers..

Waiting never ends..
We wait.. Till the last breath
Waiting never ends..
