mind refused to fall alseep.
Eyes open.
Staring into the blades of
ceiling fan disppeared in darkness.
Listening to the sound
of wind hitting my ears -
just like I used to do
during my five kilometers trek
to school - daily.

Those lone long walks every morning
never felt lonely -
for I could silently talk to
the greenery around,
hear and imitate the birds I like,
listen to farmers sing folk-songs
as they toiled on those paddy fields.

Being simple, without actually being aware of being simple.

'ಬಿಳಿ ಬಣ್ಣದ ಶಾಯಿಯ ಬಾಟಲಿ ತೆಗೆದಿಡು!'
ಹೊತ್ತು ಮುಳುಗಿದರೇನಂತೆ?
ಸುತ್ತ ಹಬ್ಬಲಿರುವ ಕತ್ತಲಿನ ಕಪ್ಪು
ಪರದೆಯಲಿ ಗೀಚಬಹುದಲ್ಲ
ಮಧ್ಯಾಹ್ನದ ಉರಿ ಬಿಸಿಲಲೂ ಕಾಣದೇ
ಬಾಡಿ ಹೋದ ಭಾವನೆಗಳ ಗೊಂಚಲನು!

Feeble voice of
true love and care

He vehemently criticized the Indian Government and cried in Twitter how unsafe the country has become,

Flooded his Facebook timeline to stress how important it is to cast your vote and not let the stupid parties win,

ಎರಡು ಜೀವ...
ಮೂರೂ ಸೇರಿ
ನಾಕು ದಿನಗಳ
ಸಪ್ಪೆ ಬಾಳಿಗೆ
ಬಣ್ಣ ಹಚ್ಚಲು
ಅದುವೇ ಸೊಗಸು!

ಹತ್ತಿಯಂತೆ, ನಾಜೂಕಾಗಿ
ಅದರ ನನಸಿನ ರೂಪದ ಬೀಜವ
ಹೊತ್ತು ಸಾಗುತಿಹುದು...
ಚಂಚಲತೆಯ ಗಾಳಿಗೆ
ಎತ್ತಿನಿಂದೆತ್ತ ತೇಲಿ ಹೋಗುತಿಹುದು...
ಸುರಿಯಬಹುದೇ ದೃಢ ಸಂಕಲ್ಪದ ಮಳೆ?
ಸುರಿದ ಮಳೆ ಹೊರಗಿನ ಹತ್ತಿಯನು ಒದ್ದೆಯಾಗಿಸಿ
ತಾಗಿಸಬಹುದೇ ಬೀಜವನು ಭುವಿಗೆ?
ಆತ್ಮವಿಶ್ವಾಸದ ನೀರನುಂಡು,
ಚಿಗುರಾಗಿ, ಗಿಡವಾಗಿ
ಮರ ಹೆಮ್ಮರವಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆದು
ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ನನಸಿನ ಫಲವನ್ನೇ ಅನವರತ
ದೊರಗಿಸುವ ಕಲ್ಪವೃಕ್ಷವಾಗಬಹುದೇ
ನನಸಿನ ಕಾಳು?

to be liberal
without someone stuffing their
agenda down our throat.
We have forgotten how
to be patriotic without dancing
to someone else's
pseudo-nationalist tune.
We have forgotten how
to be progressive
without damning, hurting,
and damaging someone's religion.
We have forgotten how
to be inclusive
without subscribing to
someone else's feigned perspective.
In essence...
We have forgotten how
not to forget our own conscience
before falling to optics of politics!
