Class is an aura of calm, confidence,
No wealth defines its true essence.
It’s knowing who you truly are,
A steady flame, not chasing star.
No boast, no fear, no race to run,
A quiet grace from battles won.
Forged in storms you braved with pride
Not what you wear, but what’s inside.
-
I do not flee when shadows rise,
Nor hide beneath the timid skies.
I chase the storm, I greet the flame,
For fear will never stake its claim.
With every step, I claim my ground,
Where doubts dissolve and strength is found.
To break its grip, I must not cheat —
I trample fear beneath my feet.
-
In the crashing waves relentless strike,
I stood still, a smiling rock in the tide.
The howling winds and the scorching sun
Touched me, yet remained untouched,
Like water that laughs and flows,
never losing itself.
Before the weight of mounting pressure,
I refused to bow, letting silence speak
at times when words felt too heavy.
I became my own fire, Love,
at times laced with
self-intrest, but always so real.
In this endless quest for life’s meaning,
I wore no mask. I smiled, raw like nature,
wild, true, unfiltered with proud.
I stood as I am, a gentle spring,
forever bubbling with quiet, unyielding joy.-
ಅಲೆಗಳ ಅಬ್ಬರದ ಹೊಡೆತದಲ್ಲಿ,
ಮೈಯೊಡ್ಡಿ ನಿಂತು ನಗುವ ಬಂಡೆಯಂತೆ
ಗಾಳಿಯ ಗದ್ದಲವನ್ನೂ, ಬಿಸಿಲ ಭೇಗೆಯನ್ನು
ಸಹಿಸಿ ನಿರ್ಲಿಪ್ತವಾಗಿ ನಕ್ಕು ಹರಿಯುವ ನೀರಂತೆ
ಒತ್ತಡದ ತೀವ್ರತೆಯ ಮುಂದೆ ತಲೆಬಾಗದೆ,
ಮೌನವನ್ನೇ ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಉತ್ತರವನ್ನಾಗಿಸಿ
ನನಗೆ ನಾನೇ ಸ್ಪೂರ್ತಿಯಾಗಿ, ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ,
ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಸ್ವಾರ್ಥಿಯಾಗಿ,
ಈ ನಿರಂತರ ಹುಡುಕಾಟದಲ್ಲಿ
ಮುಖವಾಡವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನಗುವ ನಿಸರ್ಗದಂತೆ
ನಾನು ನಾನಾಗಿ ನಿಂತೆ ಉಸ್ತಾಹದ ಚಿಲುಮೆಯಾಗಿ-
“ಬದಲಾಗದ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳ ಬೆಡಗಿ”
ಅವಶ್ಯಕತೆಗೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ಬದಲಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ,
ಸದಾ ನಿಂತೆ ನಾನೇ ನಾನಾಗಿ.
ದುರಂಹಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ತಲೆ ಬಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ,
ಮೌನವನ್ನೇ ಪ್ರತ್ಯುತ್ತರವಾಗಿ ನೀಡಿದೆ.
ಅಧಿಕಾರದ ಮಧಕ್ಕೆ ಸೋಲಲಿಲ್ಲ,
ನೀತಿಯ ಕವಚವ ಧರಿಸಿ ನಡೆದೆ.
ಬೇರೆಯವರ ವಸ್ತುವಿಗೆ ಆಸೆ ಪಡಲಿಲ್ಲ,
ಮೌಲ್ಯವೇ ಆಭರಣವಾಯಿತು ನನಗೆ.
ಬಾಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂದಿಗೂ ಸ್ವಾರ್ಥಿಯಾಗಲಿಲ್ಲ,
ನಿಷ್ಠೆಯೇ ಮನಸಿಗೆ ಮುದ ನೀಡಲು
ಸ್ವಾಭಿಮಾನವ ಬಿಡದ ಈ ಛಲ,
ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಎಂದಿಗೂ ದುಃಖಿಯಾಗಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ.-
Truth disrupts comfort.
It shatters illusions and exposes the false sense of security we cling to. It challenges the status quo and forces us to confront what we’d rather ignore.-
While strong policies are essential, their impact depends on how effectively they’re implemented. A responsive, accountable, and empowered team is just as critical as the policies themselves. Let’s focus not just on setting rules—but on building a culture of ownership and responsiveness to truly make a difference.

Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime than ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
Instill the habit of self-control, discipline, and the ability to say “no” to selfish desires or temptations. It’s not enough to teach discipline as a duty—the real power lies in enjoying it, when restraint feels fulfilling, not restrictive. When we live with intention rather than impulse, the collective future of humanity becomes nobler and more beautiful. Even the most imaginative person has never conceived a future as glorious as one shaped by widespread self-mastery and inner strength.-
Don’t mistake silence for foolishness—
the quietest minds are often the sharpest,
and they hear even the words left unspoken-
The will to win, the desire to succeed, and the urge to reach your full potential — these are the keys that unlock personal excellence.
But the desire for power and control weakens the soul and dims true growth-
