ప్రయాణం...

తెడ్డు లేని నావలో గమ్యం లేని నేను

అప్పుడు చూసా ఒక దేవ కన్యను

ఇటుగా వెళుతూ ఓర చపుతో పలకరించింది

గొంతెత్తి అరిచ ఆమెను ఆగమని నాతోడవమని   

హృదయంలో రోదించ కాలాన్ని ఇక ఆగిపోమ్మని

మేఘాలను ఈది ఈది నీరసించ ఇక తనను చేరలేనని 

సూర్యున్ని కొలిచా నన్ను ననావతో కరిగించి వేయమని

ఆమె, కాలం, సూర్యుడు ఎ ఒక్కరు తమ ప్రయాణం ఆపలేదు

ఒంటరినైన, ఈ గమ్యం లేని ప్రయాణం లో తెడ్డు లేని నావలో...

voyage...

a boat i am not rowing

still sailing going nowhere

there i saw an angel sailing and smiling

cried to her, angel, my love, will you be mine forever

heard my heart cry, oh! time, stall for me

jumped out of the boat to swim and reach her

no use though, could not swim through the clouds

cried to sun to melt me with my boat forever

no one heard, the angel, the time or the sun

there i am on my voyage going nowhere...

Painful, still bring back...

Tears which are not shed

Words which are forced to stay-in

Thoughts which are beyond the words

Feelings which are born at heart and stayed at eyes

Evening walks which could not stay long

Moments which are not taken birth

Painful, still bring back and let them live on...

O Dear! You are…

The finest notes of a symphony; I listen

The dream of the tide which wants to rest at shore

The game I play with the sun and the moon

The night that won’t stay back and the day that won’t hold back, even if I ask

The snow that falls suddenly yet pleasant

The thoughts which are higher than stars and only you understand, O Dear!

నీ స్నేహం

సప్త స్వర సమ్మేళనాల సమ్మోహనం

తీరం వద్ద నిలువాలనుకునే కలల అల

సూర్య చంద్రులతో ఆటపాటలా

ఊసులాడుదామన్న నిలువని రాత్రి, ఆగమన్నా ఆగని పగలు

చెప్పకుండా ముద్ద చేసి ఆహ్లాద పరిచే మంచులా

నక్షత్రములని మిన్చిఉన్న నా భావములని అర్ధం చేసుకునే నీ సాన్ఘత్య్హం...

Honesty is not cremated

Couple of weeks ago, there was a news column about a person, who sells lottery tickets for living. I am going to narrate how he showed his honesty even in the times of survival struggle, where he could haven been accepted by the society even after cheating because money rules the world. I am not going to say either his name or his state, just to avoid region and religion connections that can be drawn while concluding. But why I want to tell about him is; I keep hearing from many is that, world has been bad, people losing their morale and etc. This is for the people who are giving upon the world and to request them to have faith and trust on each other. Here it goes...

Ramesh sells lottery tickets for living and he is so kind that he also sells them on credit to some daily laborers. Whole day his job is to sell lottery tickets and live on the commission that he gets. He goes and sells in a place where people can stop by and buy a ticket to check their luck. Suresh is an employee at port and every day morning he meets and asks Ramesh to pick a lottery ticket and keep it for him and while returning from work he will pay the amount and checks if he won anything. This routine business has been going for a while till that day. As usual that day also Suresh asked Ramesh to pick a ticket and went to work. During the second part of the day, Suresh got a call and there was a happy yell saying, you have won millions of rupees and an innova vehicle too. The person who called is nothing but Ramesh. Suresh never asks which ticket number he has been allotted by Ramesh. This made him run to Ramesh to check is it not a prank. When he met Ramesh, he realized it is absolutely true and he is a millionaire now and there ends his life struggle and from there on happy moments.

What Ramesh did is the act of honesty. Ramesh is also in need of money as Suresh is, as a matter of fact much more based on their income sources. Ramesh proves that there is nothing above honesty and to survive you do not have to cheat the world. What is the use of millions when you lose morale. Ramesh is the saint who achieved eternal bliss without leaving the society. The lessons I have learned from his act is honesty, friendship, unselfishness, kindness.

I would be glad to here it from you the lessons if I have missed any from this story...

ప్రియసఖి అలంకరణ

వెన్నెల ఒంటికి వెలుగులు అద్దె

చంద్ర్లోని మచ్చ కాటుకగ మారే

కటిక చీకటి కురులుగా విరిసే

సూర్యుడు నుదిటిన తిలకముగా మారే

మెరుపులు గోలుసులై మెరిసే

నక్షత్రములు వజ్రములై పొదిగే

సఖునికే సఖి ఎదురు చూసే...
