VIP stories

 
   
 
    Usually everyone scrolls the Instagram News-feed when they have no work. On that day I did the same thing. Suddenly I came across a post which brought back some beautiful memories.
Back in childhood, the toughest job for us, was to go to a saloon for a haircut. Upon that our father would be with us monitoring on the haircut whether it is trimmed to a decent shape or not. That haircut was the most hatred one. 

    But, did any one noticed we had an extra stool on the chair, especially for children. That was a VIP treatment for us. We would get an extra pride by sitting on it. But actual fact was to manage the height they would provide the stool. We loved the water being sprayed on our hairs, which made them easy to trim it. These memories were beautifully sketched by cartoonist @_art_of_guru.

  Yes you can follow him using that ID in Instagram. Well not only that, when I recently visited the Saloon, the barber said me something which was so true. "When you were kids, we used to decide a haircut which suits your face. But now the time has changed. People guide us regarding their hairstyle and at the end it becomes some weird fashion". After saying this he gave a sarcastic smile.

   What he said was completely right. We see people following their favorite Celebrity's Hairstyle. The uniqueness within them has gone. Everyone are running behind some others fashion instead of creating their own. Leave it, anyhow I wanted to share that small stool pride. I think most of them have felt that privilege. This is just to bring back the old times. The photo which I have attached with this blog post is done by that cartoonist.

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
