Somebody's Mother

"Super... Absolutely super taste" - these lines were reciting inside me as Gulaab jaamun dissolved inside my mouth. Suddenly my mother called me.

My mother was preparing objectives for lesson plan on a poem. She asked me to analyse and tell whether she could add some more point's to it. I started reading the poem.

A lady, specifically old lady was described in such a way that readers can imagine her in front of their eyes. Consider a situation where your mother at her old age is trying to cross the road, but no trespassers are willing to help her. You would certainly think why all those are lacking in kindness or helping nature.

The same situation occurs but one boy comes forward to help her. She describes him as laddie (Scottish word for young man). We should appreciate that boy's kindness. May be everyone who passed her without noticing the urge of help, had that humanity.
But the boy executed it at right time.
This makes a big difference!! At last that old granny praises and wishes him.

Here the thing is that we should not neglect any body who is in need. We should think that she may be someone's mother or else any important person. While in the same way may be our own mother can get help like we did.

That appraisals from so many granny's like this old lady, stands us apart from that trespassers.

Let us be like that boy, purity in mind and humanity in heart.
(Poem: Somebody's Mother by Mary Dow Brine)

ಗಾವೋ ವಿಶ್ವಸ್ಯ ಮಾತರಃ

ಗಾವೋ ವಿಶ್ವಸ್ಯ ಮಾತರಃ ಎಂದರೆ ಈ ಜಗತ್ತಿಗೆ ಗೋವು ತಾಯಿ ಇದ್ದಂತೆ. ಸರಳ, ಮೂಕ ಮತ್ತು ಉಪಯುಕ್ತ ವಾದ ಜೀವಿ. ನಾವು ಎಷ್ಟು ಪ್ರೀತಿ ತೋರಿಸ್ತಿವೋ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೀರಿದ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ನಮಗೆ ಕೊಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದರ ಹಾಲು ಎಷ್ಟು ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಕಾರಿ ಎಂದರೆ ಅದಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನಮ್ಮ ದಿನನಿತ್ಯ ಆಹಾರ ಪದ್ಧತಿ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾವು ತಿನ್ನುವ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಸಿಹಿ ಪದಾರ್ಥಗಳು ಹಾಲಿಲ್ಲದೆ ತಯಾರಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಹಾಲನ್ನು ಉತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಡೈರಿ ಫಾರ್ಮ ಗಳ ಸಂಕಷ್ಟ ಯಾರಿಗೂ ತಿಳಿದಿಲ್ಲ . ಅವರಿಗೆ ಆಗುವ ನಷ್ಟ ಅಷ್ಟಿಷ್ಟಲ್ಲ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲಬರಿಕೆ ಮಾಡದೆ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಅವರಿಗೂ ಉಳಿಗಾಲವಿಲ್ಲ. ಅಂತಹ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾಗಿದೆ. ಮೊನ್ನೆ ತಾನೆ ಸಾಗರದ ಸಮೀಪದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಒಂದು ಡೈರಿ ಫಾರ್ಮ್ ಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರು ಎದುರಿಸುವ ಸವಾಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟರು. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂದಾಜು 300 ದನಗಳು ಇದ್ದವು. ಸುಮಾರಷ್ಟು ಹೈಬ್ರಿಡ್ ತಳಿಗಳು. ಉಳಿದವು ಮಲ್ನಾಡ್ ಗಿಡ್ಡ. ಅವರಿಗೆ ಅಂದಾಜು 600 ಲೀಟರ್ ಹಾಲು ಉತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ. ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ದನದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ 200 ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳನ್ನು ವ್ಯಯಿಸಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. 300 ದನಕ್ಕೆ ಅಂದಾಜು 60,000 ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳು. ಪ್ರತಿ ಲೀಟರ್ ಗು ಅಬ್ಬಬ್ಬಾ ಅಂದರೆ 40 ರೂಪಾಯಿಗಳು ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸೋಣ. ಹಂಗಾದ್ರೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಬರೋದು 24000 ರ...

Feel and understand

"To understand something first we need to feel" Actually it is a simple line with in-depth meaning. Many consequences have occurred in everyone's life. We usually judge things from 1 point of view or in other words, our point of view. I'll give you an example. Consider a situation that you are walking in a road, with a bun in your hand. Some random small child rushes towards you and steal your bun. How will you react ? First thing you may do is to catch that child, and teach him/her some good manners. or gathering public and bashing that child. or cursing that child and letting go off the situation. But think once in the point of view of that child. That child may not even had it's food since days. May be it was walking in streets with immense hunger and that hunger may have made it to steal the bun from your hand. I'm not justifying that stealing was right thing. But I'm explaining the actual fact. Of cours...

A Day 8 times in 4 years

A new morning waiting for us. Hoping for a better day than previous one. The fun, enjoyment and jolly days of vacation ends. We started to miss homemade sweets and other dishes. We had to eat the hostel food again with a small face. We see everyone rushing with a notebook in hand, some in groups and rest alone. Some with fascinating face and some with sadness at peak. Some with sleepy faces and some with happy faces. Juniors getting ragged & introduced to seniors. There will be introduction classes of some lecturers & yuck, some of them also starts the syllabus on the first day. This is nothing but the first day of every engineering student & this day comes only 8 times in 4 year!! Hoping for a good new start..... By, SUMANTH GOVINDE
