ಕಾಗಕ್ಕಾ ಮತ್ತ ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕನ ಕಥಿ

ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ,
ಈ ಕಥೆ ನಾನು ಚಿಕ್ಕವಳಿದ್ದಾಗ ಕೇಳ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೆ. ನೀವು ಕೂಡ ಇದನ್ನ ಕೇಳಿರಬಹುದು. ಈಗ ನನ್ನ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಮಗಳು ತುಂಬಾ ಖುಷಿಯಿಂದ ಕೇಳುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಈ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ಧಾರವಾಡ ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಓದಿ ನೀವು ಖುಷಿ ಪಡಿ. 

"ಒಂದೂರಾಗ ಕಾಗಕ್ಕಾ ಮತ್ತ ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ ಇದ್ದುವಂತ. ಕಾಗಕ್ಕನ ಮನಿ ಮಣ್ಣಿಂದ ಇತ್ತಂತ. ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕನ ಮನಿ ಕಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಇತ್ತಂತ. ಒಂದಿನಾ ಜೋರ ಮಳಿ ಬಂತಂತ. ಕಾಗಕ್ಕನ ಮನಿಯೆಲ್ಲ ನಿರೋಳಗ ಹರದ ಹೋತಂತ. ಏನ ಮಾಡಲಿ ಅಂತ ಭಾಳ ವಿಚಾರ ಮಾಡಿ ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕನ ಮನಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ, ಟಕ್,  ಟಕ್ ಅಂತ ಬಾಗಿಲಾ ಬಾರಸ್ತಂತ. ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ ಒಳಗಿಂದ "ಯಾರದು" ಅಂತ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಕ್ಕ, "ನಾನು ಕಾಗಕ್ಕಾ, ಮಳಿ ಬಂದು ನನ್ನ ಮನಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಹರದ ಹೋಗ್ಯದ. ಇವತ್ತ ಒಂದ ದಿವಸ ನನಗ ನಿನ್ನ ಮನಿ ಒಳಗ ಇರಲ್ಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ಜಾಗಾ ಕೊಡು " ಅಂತ ಕಾಗಕ್ಕಾ ಹೇಳ್ತು. 


ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ " ಇನ್ನು ಐದು ನಿಮಿಷ ಬಿಟ್ಟ ಬಾ, ನನ್ನ ಗಂಡ ಊಟ ಮಾಡಕತ್ತಾನ" ಅಂತು.
ಐದು ನಿಮಿಷ ಬಿಟ್ಟ, ಕಾಗಕ್ಕ ಮತ್ತ ಟಕ್,  ಟಕ್ ಅಂತ ಬಾಗಿಲಾ ಬಾರಿಸ್ತ. ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ ಯಾರು ಅಂದರ, ಕಾಗಕ್ಕಾ ನಾನು ಅಂತಂತ. ಅದಕ್ಕ ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ " ಇನ್ನು ಐದು ನಿಮಿಷ ಬಿಟ್ಟ ಬಾ, ನನ್ನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಊಟ ಮಾಡಾಕತಾವ" ಅಂತು.
ಐದು ನಿಮಿಷ ಬಿಟ್ಟ, ಕಾಗಕ್ಕಾ ಮತ್ತ ಬಾಗಲಾ ಬಾರಿಸಿದ್ ಕೂಡಲೇ, ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ ಬಾಗಿಲಾ ತಗದ ಕಾಗಕ್ಕನ್ನ ಒಳಗ ಕರಿತು.
"ನೀ ಎಲ್ಲೇ ಮಕ್ಕೊತ್ತಿ? ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಚೀಲ, ಗೋಧಿ ಚೀಲ ಇಲ್ಲ ಕಡ್ಲಿ ಚೀಲ" ಅಂತ ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಕ್ಕ, ಕಾಗಕ್ಕ ಕಡ್ಲಿ ಚೀಲಾನ್ನ ಆರಿಸ್ಕೊಂತು. 
ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಹೊತ್ತ ಆದ ಮ್ಯಾಲೆ,ಕಟುಂ ಕುಟುಂ ಅಂತ ಸಪ್ಪಳಾ ಬರಾಕತ್ತು. ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ, ಏನದು ಸಪ್ಪಳಾ ಅಂದ ಕೂಡ್ಲೆ, ಕಾಗಕ್ಕಾ " ನನಗ ಹಸಿವಿ ಬಾಳ ಆಗೆತಿ. ಅದಕ್ಕ, ಕಡ್ಲಿ ತಿನ್ಹಾಕತ್ತೆನಿ" ಅಂತು, ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕ, ಅದಕ್ಕ ಸಪ್ಪಳಾ ಮಾಡಲಾರದ ತಿನ್ನು ಅಂತು.
ಕಾಗಕ್ಕ, ಸುಮ್ಮನ ತಿಂದು ಮಕ್ಕೊತು. ಮುಂಜಾನೆ ಎದ್ದು, ಗುಬ್ಬಕ್ಕಾಗ ಥ್ಯಾಂಕ್ಸ್ ಹೇಳಿ, ಹೊಸ ಮನಿ ಕಟ್ಟಾಕ ಹಾರಿ ಹೊತಂತ. "

Be Kind when you are in....

Hi All,

"When you have the pressure from all the sides in the life, thank God that He thinks you as more responsible and Kind person to handle the situation."

Few days back, I  put this in my status in FB. This came in my mind after what I experienced that day. I am not sure whether I read it somewhere, or my own words or mix of both.
Reading is my passion and I am reading good books from very young age. And forgetting is my habit!!! I always get confused and scared to write something like this, as I feel it should not be copied from some other book.
When I re read the lines again and again, I thought how true this sentence is!! When we face some difficulty in the life, or when we have to suffer for other's mistakes, or when we are in a position to take decision on other's lives, BE KIND.

Yes!! Being kind when you are in pressure or some trouble, gives you more strength to face the situation.
If you do not believe in God, do not thank him, but Be kind.
Be kind with yourself is as important as being kind with others. 

Be kind with yourself, don't hurt yourself, physically or mentally. Give time to your mind to take correct decision.

Be kind with the person, who ever is connected with the problem or with the situation. Being kind and thinking from their point of view allows you to take good decision.

Thank God for choosing you to face the problem and thank Him for thinking You as a more responsible person!!! 

I hope all of you do understand what I meant to say.

Keep Smiling,

Do you really believe in "HELLO, HOW ARE YOU & I AM FINE????"

Hi All,
With the title above, do you want me to ask "hello, how are you?" Have you ever thought before you wish someone like this? Do you really care for their answer?How many times, have you really waited for the opposite person to answer? 
I know it is just a sentence to start a conversation, but with any unknown person, do you really want to know his answer? 
There are many people, when you ask them this question, they will start the whole story!!!! and next time, you dare to ask them!
When someone wishes you, how will you answer?
Do you answer :
1. Hey I am fine.
2. Everything is fine, but me!!
3. Ohh don't ask me, the life has become worst, nothing is happening right......
or
Hey I am fine, Life is good. 
How are you? How is your life? 

Next time, whenever you start the conversation, think before you answer this question 
And
If you are going to wish somebody to start the conversation, PLEASE have patience to wait and hear their answer.
Answer with positive attitude and a smile on your face.

It's just what I feel.
What about you???

Keep Smiling,

WATCH(MAN)

WATCH(MAN)

When ever I see any golden wrist watch, I remember her face!! I feel the pain in my heart and my mind travels 13 years back. That day, life taught me a great lesson.
Being the first daughter in my family, I was pampered a lot and showered with lot of gifts on my every birthday! Till today (this month, I will celebrate my 36th birthday with the same pampering, actually more, as my husband and my two kids have joined the group). And among those gifts, every year I have got a watch from one or other relative. So I never took trouble to buy one for me.
13 years back, I got this gold plated, beautiful watch from my aunt. It had golden rings connected with each other to form into a beautiful watch. I loved it so much and it was always on my wrist.
During those days I was attending the computer classes. One evening, I went to the class in my bike, of course with the watch on my wrist.
When I came back!! Alas!! There was no watch on my wrist. I got panic!! I felt like I lost everything! I started crying. I went back to the class, taking care to check on the road for my lovely watch. I did not get it in the class. I was feeling so sad; I cursed myself for not taking care of it. I scolded that unknown person, who might have got it!! While returning back from the class, I came very slowly to check on the road again. When I came across the hump on the road where I always reduce the speed while riding the bike, I hoped that I would get my watch there only. I went near the hump and checked it! It was not there. There was a house which was under construction near the hump. Hoping that may be the watchman of that house might have got it; I went near his house and called him. There was no reply! After waiting for few minutes (Cursing that watchman in my mind), I almost shouted near the door. 
A lady came out of the house. She might be in her early twenties or may be still younger. She was a beautiful village girl. I asked her whether did she get any watch on the road or near by. I was shocked when I heard saying “Madam, I am not allowed to come out of the house. I came out, as you were shouting. I lost my husband(watchman) just few days back, and waiting for the owner of the house to come and allow me to go back to my village” She had tears in her eyes. Then only I observed her plain face. She was not wearing anything other than the pain of loosing her husband at so young age.
Life taught me a lesson, not to cry for small things. There is so much to appreciate and thank God for all good things.  For many days I did not think about my lost watch and I did not wear any other watch also.

Keep Smiling,

पेड़ - Hindi poem by me (Pulled from my other blog)

Hi All
This poem is pulled by my another blog ( Nivedita's Kitchen). 
Click  here for more details about how and when did I write this poem.


Here is the poem:



                    (PEDH- TREE)


          PEDH HAI MERA NAAM


          MAIN HOON PAKSHIYON KA DHAM


          MERA PHAL SABKO BHAAYA
          MAIN DETA HOON SABKO CHAAYA

                MAIN BADALTA HOON RANG
                HAR RUTU KE SANG
                MUJHSE BANATA BHI HAI GHAR
                KAR KAR WAAR MUJH PAR

         AGAR BACHANA HAI
         YEH SANSAR
         MUJHSE KARLO PYAR
         MAT KARO MUJH PAR WAAR

               MERI SABSE BINATI HAI
               LAGAO HAR GHAR MEIN EK POUDHA
               AAGE HOGA SABKO SUVIDHA 






पेड़ है मेरा नाम



मैं हूँ पक्षियों का धाम 



मेरा फल सबको भाया



मैं देता हूँ सबको छाया 



मैं बदलता हूँ रंग हर रुतु के संग 



मुझसे बनता भी है घर 



कर कर वार मुझ पर 



अगर बचाना है यह संसार 



मुझसे  
करलो  प्यार 



मत करो मुझ पर वार


मेरी सबसे बिनती है


लगाओ हर घर में एक पौधा


आगे होगा सबको सुविधा 


Keep smiling,
