At First Sight

I  know i made those jokes,
one's that no one cared about.
but i saw you smiling
and it triggered a thought.
 
Was it for the Joke,
was it for someone else ?
or is it just the way u r
with the twinkling eyes.

I know i wanted to talk to you.
talk to the spark in you,
but i haven't made any moves before
is this the right start? not for sure.

Let me get this straight,
i don't believe  in "at first sight".
but just like in the movie of last night,
today it all seems right.

He didnt know he could Kill

It was more than six months since he was in Bangalore. As like any other software engineer he had rented a house near his office sharing it with his cousin. They were still trying to understand the people and the place. They were in love with Bangalore for its weather and the people. Even though he was annoyed with few Auto drivers here, he knew the people in overall were friendly and co-operative.

His house owner was a real gentle man, never bothered him asking for the rent even when it is 10th the month.It was always he who use to go to his home upstairs and pay the rent. By now he was a friend with his Owner's daughter who were twins in their first standard.

Over all everything was fine in his bachelor life until that day. He was home little early than usual and to his horror he knew something was not right about the place. The neatly arranged Newspaper stand seemed to have been disturbed. There was a water bottle with its water all over the floor. He phoned his cousin who was also equally surprised to hear that.

It continued to happen for a week. Every day back from his office he use to find things misplaced. It was either his Deo on the floor or the water bottle. News papers were always a piece of interest to this external intruder.He spoke to his house owner about this intruder, who seemed to come when they are out for work.
Intruder had not picked anything important like money or the laptop. He was interestingly behind these silly things like water bottle, News paper cuttings etc. House owner suggested to trap him red handed.

A Plan started making rounds in the his head to catch this stealthy guy.

On Saturday when his PM fortunately didn’t call him work, he decided it to be the day to get the intruder.He and his cousin locking the door as if they were leaving to office waited until the rumbling sound started growing louder from inside. They knew it was the time. He didn’t want to waste any second. He knew the best strategy to attack your enemy is to take him by surprise. More over he had cousin next to him making the contest two against one. There was no reason not to barge in. He opened the door and for the first time saw his enemy straight in the eye. His cousin handed him a wooden bar and there it was. He hit the enemy on the head and split second later it was all over.

First time in his life he had killed a Mouse. For some reason his heart was heavy after the killing. His cousin however was happy to get rid of this Mouse. Later in the evening he spent more time than usual in temple but he was low all day. Somehow the next day he pulled himself up and then on it was business as usual.

Google Dictionary : Continued

Whenever i am looking for list of words and their meanings Google dictionary was the place i used to go for.Google dictionary was simple and elegant unlike other hazy dictionary sites around.
It also use to give real world sentences containing the the word from sources like e-paper,blog or website.
Along with synonym lists, Translation of the word was also easy with Google dictionary.

I know many of my friends who had taken exams like GRE have used Google Dictionary as their major reference.

However on August 5, 2011 Google Dictionary was discontinued as a separate service, although similar results have been incorporated into the Google search sidebar. However, this has resulted a controversy by users over the way which Google shut down the service with, for example, Google had never made any warnings and notifications before decided to discontinue the service. Moreover, the "Starred Words" feature was unavailable at the same time without any projections for users to backup their starred words. Many users have showed their disagreements and complaints on the precipitant discontinuance of the service on Google's Help Forum

A Google Product Manager explained the closure on a Google Support Forum:

“Google Dictionary was recently integrated into Google Web Search. Simply search for “define X” where X is the word you want to look up. Clicking on the “more” link (or on the toolbelt “Dictionary” link on the left) will give you practically the same experience that was available on dictionary.google.com.

We’re working hard to make the dictionary experience even better on google.com so it will be easier for our users to get the dictionary experience without the need to go to a separate property.”

As i mentioned initially, this would be difficult for a user looking for the meaning of a list of words.
I wrote a simple html that gives you what use to be Google dictionaries Search page.
 This allows you to continue using Google dictionary without worrying about things happening around it.

Coldplay & The Scientist

These days am listening to coldplay a lot..
Scientist song of theirs has become my favourite.
After listening to Scientist for an entire day (literally ).. thought of scribbling something and the result is the below one.

Its no way intended to match their Original song or the String within it.
just thought will be fun sharing whatever i could do.

In grief and Pain
when you have lost again
standing out from the main
thinking once again..


No matter how slow
cant escape the flow
you end up hating the clock
no being able to turn it back..




Let there be rain
washing all ur pain
hope you would see the cloud
and sight the silver line

ಇಬ್ಬರು ಮೂಕರು

ಆ ಕೋಣೆಲಿ ಅವರಿಬ್ಬರೇ ಇದ್ದರು . ರಾಮು ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಮೊದಲು ಬಂದವ.ಅವನಿಗೆ ತಾನು  ಯಾಕೆ,ಹೇಗೆ ಬಂದೆ ಅನ್ನೋ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಒಂದು ನಯಾ ಪೈಸೆ ಅಷ್ಟು ನೆನಪಿಲ್ಲ . ರಾಮ  ಬಂದ ದಿನವೇ ಮಧ್ಯಾನ್ಹ ೨ ಘಂಟೆ ಸುಮಾರಿಗೆ ಭೀಮನ ಆಗಮನ ಆಯಿತು.  ಅಂದು ಅವರಿಬ್ಬರದು ಒಂದೇ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ , ನಾವು ಯಾಕಿಲ್ಲಿದಿವಿ,ಮತ್ತೆ ಮುಂದೇನಾಗುತ್ತೆ ?  ಆದರೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತರ ನೀಡೋ ಧ್ವನಿಗಳಯಾವುವೋ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ.

 ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಒಬ್ಬರನ್  ಒಬ್ಬರು ನೋಡಿದ ಅವರಿಗೆ ತಾವಿಬ್ಬರು ಮೂಕರು ಅನ್ನೋ ಅಂಶ ತಿಳಿಯಲು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಸಮಯವೇನು ಹಿಡಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ.
  ಒಬ್ಬರಿಗೋಬ್ಬರು ಕಣ್ಣಲ್ಲೇ ಮಾತಾಡೋ  ಪ್ರಯತ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ರು ಏನೋ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನ ಆಗ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ.
ರಾಮು ಕೆಲವೇ ಘಂಟೆಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ತನಗಾದ ಶಾಕ್ ನಿಂದ ಹೊರಬಂದಿದ್ದ.ಭೀಮನ ಇರುವಿಕೆ ಅವನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊಂಚ ಧೈರ್ಯ ತಂದಿತ್ತು .

ದಿನದ ಬದಲಾವಣೆಗಳು ಭೀಮುವನ್ನುಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯಗೊಳಿಸಿದ್ವು,ಎಂದಿನಂತೆ ಹುಲ್ಲುಗಾವಲಲ್ಲಿ ತನ್ನ ಪಾಡಿಗೆ ಅಲೆಯುತಿದ್ದ ಅತನನ್ನ ದಡೂತಿ ದೇಹದ ಇಬ್ಬರು ಅನಾಮತ್ತಾಗಿ ಹಿಡಿದೆಳೆದಿದ್ದರು. ಕಾಲುಗಳನ್ನ ಸರಪಳಿಂದ ಬಿಗಿದು ಲಾರಿಯೊಳಗೆ ಹಾಕಿದ್ದೊಂದೇ  ಅವನಿಗಿರುವ ನೆನಪು .
ಭೀಮು ಜೋರಾಗಿ ಕೂಗಿದ,.ಬಿಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಕೊಸರಡಿದ,  ಕೊನೆಗೆ ಅವನೆಲ್ಲ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟನೆಗಳು ಮುಗಿದಾಗ  ಸುಸ್ತಾಗಿ ನಿದ್ದೆ ಹೋದ. 

Its Not what you SAW ! !

ಬಹುಷಃ ರಾಮೂವಿಗೂ ಹೀಗೆ ಆಗಿರಬಹುದು ಎಂದೆನಿಸಿ ಕೋಣೆಯ ಬಾಗಿಲಿನತ್ತ ನೋಡುತಿರಲು,ದಡರ್ ಎಂದು ತೆಗೆದ ಬಾಗಿಲಿಗೆ  ಅರೆ ಕ್ಷಣ ಆತ  ನಡುಗಿ ಹೋದ .
ಬಾಗಿಲಿನಿಂದ ಇಬ್ಬರು ಧಡೂತಿ ದೇಹಿಗಳು ಒಳಬಂದರು . ಅವರ ಕೈಯಲಿದ್ದ ಮಚ್ಚನ್ನ ನೋಡಿ ರಾಮು ಮತ್ತೆ  ಮೂರ್ಚೆ ಹೋದ.ಭೀಮ ಅವರಿಬ್ಬರೇ ತನ್ನನ್  ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಎಳೆದು ತಂದಿದ್ದು ಎಂದು ಗುರುತಿಸಿದ . ಆ ದಡೂತಿಗಳೋ  ಭೀಮವಿಗೆ ಅರ್ಥವಾಗದ ಭಾಷೇಲಿ  ಮಾತ ನಾಡುತಿದ್ರು. ಭೀಮು ಅರ್ಥವಗಾದಿದ್ರು ಕeಳುತಹೋದ .

"ಲೇ ಇ ಸಲ ಹಬ್ಬದೂಟ ಬಹಳ ಮಜವಾಗಿ ಇರ್ಥತಿ , ಅವ್ನವನ್ನ  ೧೦೦ ರೊಪಾಯಿ ಹೆಚ್ಗಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟರು ಒಳ್ಳೆ  ಕುರಿಗಳನ ತಂದವಿ.
 ಅದ್ರಾಗೂ ನಮ್ಮ ಅವ್ವ ಮಟನ್ ಸಾರ್  ಮಸ್ತಾಗಿ ಮಾಡ್ಥಳ "  ಒಬ್ಬ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ದಡೂತಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ .
 ಇಬ್ಬರು  ಒಂದೊಂದು ಕುರಿಗಳನ್ನ  ಹೆಗಲ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೊತ್ತ್ಕೊಂಡು ಊರ ಹೊರಗಿನ ಕೆರೆಯ ಕಡೆ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ
ಹಾಕಿದ್ರು .

ರಾತ್ರಿ ಎಂಟರ ಸುಮಾರಿಗೆ ರಾಮು ಭೀಮು ಇಬ್ಬರು ಹಬ್ಬದ ಊಟದ  ಮಟನ್ ಪೀಸಾಗಿದ್ರು..

ಅವಳಿಗೆಲ್ಲ ಹೇಳೋ ಮುನ್ನ

ಸಾಲು ಮರದ ನೆರಳಿನೊಳಗೆ
ನಗುತ ನಿಂತ ಅವಳ ಜೊತೆಗೆ

ಮನದ ಮಾತ ಹೇಳೋ ಘಳಿಗೆ                        

Happily Inspired

ಮಾತಿಗಿಂತ ಮೊದಲೇ ಅವಳ ಸೇರಿದೆ  
ಮರದ ಹೂವು ಜೋರು ಗಾಳಿಗೆ ..               

ದಡದಿ ಅವಳ ನಡುಗೆಗೆ
ಮೂಡೋ ಬಿಂಬ ನೀರಿಗೆ
ಮೆಲ್ಲ ಮುಟ್ಟಹೋದ ನನಗೆ
ನುಚ್ಚು ನೂರು ಕನಸು
ಯಾರೋ ಎಸೆದ ಕಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ...

ಮೂಡದ ಹಿಂದೆ ಅವಿತು ಕುಳಿತು
ಚಳಿಯಲಿ ನನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಸಣ್ಣಗೆ ಬೆವೆತು
ಅವಳಿಗೆಲ್ಲ ಹೇಳೋ ಕ್ಷಣಕೆ
ಅವಿತ ಮೋಡ ಮಳೆಯಾಗಿ  ಕರಗಿದೆ
ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದಲೋ ಎದ್ದ ಸೂರ್ಯನ ಬಿಸಿಲಿಗೆ
