One of my colleagues daughter likes this song “June Pothe” from the movie - ‘Neevalle Neevalle’.
The tune was inspiring and not the original lyric so much. (Listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuaBebBV1M)
Thought of writing a critic for that song - ended up attempting an alternate version:
Why do we sweat the petty?
Cherish the small?
Think the little?
See the visual?
Is life not explorative journey of self realization!
Why do we destine the milestones?
Derive joy at successful junctures?
Distress the momentary lapses?
Ignoring the eternal path.
Why do we glory progress?
Cherish the relationships?
Desire the monetaries?
Forgiving the introspection.
We know the answers.
We know the transients.
We know the hurdles.
Why not break the shackles?
I heard people say that we do not know when we fall in love, how we fall in love with someone but, just realize that we are in love.
I often felt these are rhetorics and very filmatic only till I realized certain emotions in me.
When her presence brings you calm, makes you thoughtful.
When her absence makes you feel restless and soulless.
When the hard toiled days get respite in her company.
When mind turns half-functional and heart becomes twice heavy in her absence.
Her touch brings you needed assurance, the touch - which may not be silky.
Her voice brings you desired rejoice, the voice - which may not be musical.
Her sight makes you feel glorified, the sight - which may not be exquisite.
Her gesture makes you feel profound, the gesture - which may not be romantic.
My dear Laptop! I never thought it happens to me!
When in confusion or at a fork, struggling to
get the right judgment of the action, I often look back at the Bhagavad-Gita. Im there
always with a right answer and analysis in all
the required dimensions.
When in hurry to make up or fall short of
confidence in making a judgment for myself, I go back to some compositions by Sri
Sirivennela (happens to be one of my philosophical
idols). They never kept short of my requirements of the hour and always had more to explore.
“egirE ala — kaligE kala” is something I believe would evoke a seed of thought in each one’s mind.
అలుపన్నది ఉందా ఎగిరే అలకు ఎదలోని లయకు
అదుపన్నది ఉందా కలిగే కలకు కరిగే వరకు
మెలికలు తిరిగే నది నడకలకు
మరి మరి ఉరికే మది తలపులకు
నాకోసమే చినుకై కరిగి ఆకాశమే దిగదా ఇలకు
నాసేవకే సిరులే చిలికి దాసోహమే అనదా వెలుగు
ఆరారు కాలాల అందాలు బహుమతి కావా నా ఊహలకు
కలలను తేవా నా కన్నులకు
నీచూపులే తడిపే వరకు ఏమైనదో నా వయసు
నీఊపిరే తగిలే వరకు ఎటు ఉన్నదో మెరిసే సొగసు
ఏడేడు లోకాల ద్వారాల తలుపులు తెరిచే తరుణం కొరకు
ఎదురుగా నడిచే తొలి ఆశలకు
