Cheerz

ಉಗಾದಿ ಹಾರೈಕೆಗಳು

ಅಡರಿದ ಕತ್ತಲು ಸರಿಸಿ
ಅರುಣನಿಗೇ ಸರಿದಂತಹ ಇರುಳ ಕಳೆದು
ಭೂತಾಯಿಯ ನಡುಗುವ ಮೈಯನ್ನು
ಹಸಿರ ತೋರಣದಿಂದ ಆವರಿಸಿ
ಸುಖ ಶಾಂತಿ ವಿಜಯ ತರುವ
ಸರ್ವಜಿತ್ ಸಂವತ್ಸರದ ಉಗಾದಿ
ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಶುಭ ತರಲಿ

Imagine this...

Had a strange dream last night...Kanth was getting married (no, thats not the strange part!) with some girl, don't remember who..and many of us from our class are all having a get-together in the marriage hall..then all the profs start coming, PK, MSN, AJ etc... and then SV comes and starts crying!!
I go and ask him, watz the matter? He says, its tears of joy, and then asks me, "have you ever visited college after you graduated?", and I said, "hey balloon, already forgot that I came a few months back with Bandy during my India trip? now, don't be such a cry-baby!"

Meanwhile, PK goes and asks the server at the buffet if they have any bread and jam (to be read as jaam)!! I was thinking a lot about this part today morning, as to why that thing came in my dream, and then I realized, maybe its because of PK's famous words, "PCB is my bread and jam!"
Finally, AVM comes in his green scooter, dressed in a dinner jacket and flowery bow-tie!

at that point of time, I woke up and started laughing at my own dream which was about to turn into a nightmare with AVM's presence!! :D

funny what all we can experience in our dreams...can the above dream really happen? will AVM come dressed like that?

happy dreaming!!

ನಿನಾದ

ಕೊರೆವ ಚಳಿರಾತ್ರಿಯಲ್ಲೂ
ತಾರಸಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಬವಳಿಸಿ
ಬೇಸಿಗೆಯ ನೆನಪಿಸುತ್ತಾ
ಮನಕೆ ತಂಪೆರೆದು
ಹುಚ್ಚು ಹಿಡಿಸಿದ ಹುಡುಗಿ
ಸಂಗೀತಾ....

ವಿ. ಸೂ: ಕಳೆದ ಚಳಿಗಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಸಂಗೀತ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ-ಅನುಭವಗಳ ನೆನಪಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದದ್ದು.

Chemical Weapon of Mass Destruction

http://wacky-world.blogspot.com/2007/02/chemical-weapon-of-mass-destruction.html

Masking of truth - Aavarana

There are two versions in representation of history. One is the fact based approach where everything that happened and well documented is presented as history. The second one is a much interesting. It is depiction of history which is to the comforts of current socio-political structure. This involves a lot of masking,twisting and tweaking of historical facts such that the current generation lives in a state of bliss. But like a nice colored building on top of a false foundation, this results in various problems in the society. This is said as the basis and motivation for the novel - Aavarana

Now, I am yet to read the book and would reserve my review till that time. But here are the previews I could find.
