ಪಯಣ

ಶರಣು ಬರುವೆವು ಇಹಲೋಕಕೆ
ಆತ್ಮನಾ ಇರುವು ಮರೆತು
ಮನಬಂದಂತೆ ಬದುಕಿ
ತಿರುಗಿ ನೋಡಿದರೆ ನಮ್ಮದೇನೂ ಛಾಪಿರದಂತೆ;
ಎತ್ತ ನೋಡಿದರತ್ತ ಪಾಪ ರಾಚುವುದು
ಪುಣ್ಯವೆಲ್ಲೋ ಸಂದಿ-ಗೊಂದಿಯಲ್ಲಿಷ್ಟು-
ಕಂಡರದೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚು.

ಪಯಣ ಹೊರಡುತ ಪರಲೋಕಕೆ
ಬಾಯ್ಕಿತ್ತ ಹಲ್ಲಿಯಂತೆ
ಲೋಚಗುಟ್ಟುವೆವೋ ಅದೂ ಇಲ್ಲವೊ!
ಸುಖಾಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ದೇವರ ನೆನೆದು
ಕಡೆಯ ಬಾರಿ, "ಮುಕ್ತಿ, ದೇವಾ!!" ಎಂದರಚುವುದ ಮರೆಯೆವು.

ಹೇಳಿ ಹೊರಡುವ ಜಾತಿ
ಅಲ್ಲದಾ ಅಭಿಮಾನ ಸಾವು
ತಾ ಪಟ್ಟ ಕಷ್ಟ ಹೇಳಿ ತೀರದಾ ತೆರದಿ
ಹೊತೂಯ್ಯುತಿದ್ದರೂ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞೆಯ
ಗುಟುಕರಿಸಲಾರದಾ ನೋವ
ಎಲ್ಲ ತೊರೆದು ಸೇರಿ ಆಗಸ ಶರಧಿ..

ಅದೇ..

ಆಕಾರವಿಲ್ಲದಾ ಸಾವು
ತಾ ವಿಜೃಂಭಿಸಿ
ಸುತ್ತ ನೆರೆದಿಹ ಕಣ್ಣೀರ
ತುಳಿದು ತಾ ಮಾತ್ರ ಮುನ್ನಡೆದಿತ್ತು
ಜೀವ ಹೊತ್ತು..

...

ಬರಲಾರದೆಡೆ ಹೊರಟು ನಿಂತಿಹೆ ನೀನು
ಬೇಡೆನ್ನಲೆಮ್ಮಗೆ ತಾವಿಲ್ಲ
ಹೇಗೆ ಹಿಡಿವೆವು ತಡೆದು
ನೀ ಎಮಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸದೇ ಹೋದಾಗ?

Deep down in sad shore…

Darks r cool but breeze has no presence
Jazzy moods seem kicking groovy ness all around
N night seems itself gagged, everywhere, all around

Persons may stand away,
But that doesn’t mean it;
That their remembrances walk out
They stay. Stay forever to destroy all the rosiness
All the good that one has imagined, probably

The damaging rage of inferior mood acts on;
Screaming-in, about everything that passed by
And in the cacophony of thoughts
Is all the creativity diluted
Crying out louder & louder for help…

2 states

Chethan Bhagat strikes again!! its abt his 4th novel, 2states. Grabbed it immediately wen i saw it ws already released n i wasnt aware, n then i read it in one gulp.. A power to make India read is back with fully reloaded charm. Its his spcl quality that he knits up the situations so casual that it makes the reader easy to empathise. No wonder that youth r attracted towards the ease in selection of a desi topic n addin all the charm needed to be readable til the end. Even a super dumbo story like one nyt @ cal centr has wrkd coz f its catchyness in the style that its sequences are woven.

Well, lemme tell somethin abt the story line. Inspired by the author's own life,it talks to us abt the luv-lyf tumoil of an IIMA couple as they hail frm different states n'v big time setting out everything right fr their marriage. The same character has been brought again, krish of 5.someone's IIT. there is no too much twists lyk in 3mistakes f my lyf.,which makes it more-a-kinda-real.

Chethan Bhagat's try f making his novel speak to ppl rather than jst make them read, has worked out again.. One can see all the characters come alive frm the novel, once one dips into it.

(hey, its better to pick 2states aftr u'r done with his 5.someone... hmmm, but even if u'v not read the latter, its no hurdle)

So friends, enjoy novel n unveal the bhagat mania. :)
