ಅಪ್ಪನ ಮಾತು...

ಹುತ್ತ ಕಟ್ಟದೆ ಚಿತ್ತ ಮತ್ತೆ ಕೆತ್ತೀತೇನೆ ಪುರುಷೋತ್ತಮನ ಆ ಅಂಥ ರೂಪರೇಖೆ ! ಇಂದು ಮನಸ್ಸು ಏಕೋ ಚಂಚಲ. ಏನೋ ಕಳೆದು ಕೊಂದಂತಹ ಅನುಭವ. ಬೇಸರ, ಜಿಗುಪ್ಸೆಗಳು ಜೊತೆಯಾಗಿ ಕಾಡಿದ ದಿನ. ಅಪ್ಪನಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದೆ. ಆಗ ನನ್ನ ಅಪ್ಪಾ ನನಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿನದೋ ಹೇಳಿದ ಮಾತು. ಅರ್ಥಗರ್ಭಿತ! ಅಂದು ವಾಲ್ಮೀಕಿ ಹಾಗೆ ತಪಸ್ಸು ಮಾಡದೇ ಇದ್ದರೆ, ಅಂದು ಆತನಿಗೆ ಹುತ್ತ ಕಟ್ಟಿರಲಿಲ್ಲವೆಂದರೆ ಇಂದು ರಾಮಾಯಣ ಅಷ್ಟು ಸೊಗಸಾಗಿ ಮೂಡಿ ಬರಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವೇ? ಹಾಗೆ ನಾವು ಇಂದು ಯಾವುದನ್ನೋ ಸಾಧಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂಬ ಹಂಬಲ ವಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ, ಅದನ್ನು ಕೇವಲ ತಪಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದ ಮಾತ್ರ ಸಾಧ್ಯ. ತಪಸ್ಸು ಎಂದರೇನು? ಕಣ್ಣು ಮುಚ್ಚಿ ಶ್ವಾಸದ ಏರಿಳಿತಗಳನ್ನು ಅವಲೋಕಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಚಳಿ ಮಳೆ ಬಿರುಗಾಳಿಗೆ ಅಂಜದೆ ಪದ್ಮಾಸನ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತು ಧ್ಯಾನಮಜ್ಞರಾಗುವುದೇ? ಅಲ್ಲ. ಆ ತಪಸ್ಸು ನಮ್ಮದಲ್ಲ. ಅದು ಕೇವಲ ಲೌಕಿಕಗಳನ್ನು ತೊರೆದವರಿಗೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯವನ್ನು ಅದರ ಕೊನೆಯವರೆಗೂ ತಲುಪಿಸುವುದು, ಯಾವ ಅಡ್ಡಿಗಳು ನಮ್ಮ ಹಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂದರೂ ನಮ್ಮ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಗುರಿಯ ಮೇಲಿಂದ ತೆಗೆಯದೆ ಇರುವುದು ನಮ್ಮ ತಪಸ್ಸು. ಮತ್ತೆ ನ ನ್ನ ಕೆಲಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಹುಮ್ಮಸ್ಸು , ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಮೂಡಿತು.

Not bad = Good?

For a while I have kept wondering if the term not bad was tantamount to saying good. I know that world is not in black and white. When you say your condition is not good you mean to say that your conditio is bad. But when you say your condition is not bad, you dont intend to mean good. Why is this? Now with respect to good people and bad people. There are a few good people and there are a few bad people. and there are a few not bad people. Such are the ones whom we neither consider as harmful nor as useful. They are the grey ones. Infact they are the inactive ones. Like those not-dishonest ministers who do not take the bribe but at the same time are not honest enough to raise their voices against those who do take bribe. They tend to do so for they have to remain in that system. I have been told by many that if you do not tolerate such things it would be very difficult for you to stay in the system. And it is impossible to change the sytem if you are not within the system. What a ...

I learnt something!

Insecurity complex is something that I had heard of and spoken a lot about, but had never experienced it. May be that was one of the reasons why had never understood my mother in law fully. It is one of the most intense thoughts that come to ones mind when one's power or authority seems to reduce, or when one has to compete for something that was always available for no effort previously. This complex is apparently, domestically prevalent among women. May be the complex of men does not get so blatant on the home front for in our society it is the woman who is the soul of the home. A woman in our society mostly confines herself to family and kids. That is the only place where her work has to give her the results. In case of a working woman, things are much different. It is enough to boost one's confidence if one's work outside is appreciated. She is knows she is capable of something. But in case of a home-maker, the only people who would give her that confidence to see he...
