A Poem For The Most Beautiful Lady Of Sandalwood

Sandalwood praveshiside nee- ABHIya Moolaka,

EXCUSE ME yendu karedu nee- ellara manassu gedde, Ninna Naguvina Moolaka,



Ninna Entry aagabekittu innu bega- Ninna SSLCya Balika,

Ninna KANTIinda innu hecchitu rangu rangina Ninna aa Nota,


Kannada naadige Mohaka Taare sikkitu- Ninna AADIinda,

AAKASHadante haraduttide Ninna aa Holapu,

Aa holapinindale sikkitu Ninage GOWRAMMA yemba Birudu,



Ninna Maguvina notadinda Laksha janara manassu gedde nee- AMRUTHADHAREya Moolaka,

SEVANTHI SEVANTHI yendu koogidavu Dumbigalu- Ninna Sihiyannu hudukutta,



Ella Hudugara HeartBeat hecchitu- Ninna JULIEya Balika,

TANANAM TANANAM yendu Kuniyuttidavu Chittegalu kooda..



Haarutidda Hakkigalu ninna nodalu bandavu JOTHE JOTHEYALI,

Aa Drusyadinda kaanutidde neenu BOMBAAT,



Ee ninna Soundaryadinda aade neenu Madhava-Raghavarige Meera,

Ninna ee Cheluvannu nodalu kayuttiddare BANG BANG KIDS kooda,



Ninage Kavana Bareyuttiddene Naanu JUST MATH MATHALLI,

Ninna Komalavada Mogavannu nodalu kayuttiddare Sanju-Geetha kooda,

Ninnanu nodalu bayasuttiddene Ninna Abhimaani aada Naanu kooda,


Spandana yembudu ninna Divyavaada Hesaru,

Ramya yembudu ninage namma Annavru kotta Hesaru...

An Experience At the Railway Station

An Experience At the Railway Station, Mysore :

It was a Saturday afternoon. This was the day I got my first salary in August. I was not used to travel by train and it was my first travel in train after more than 10yrs. Since it was a weekend, I was about to leave to my hometown, namma Bengaluru.

I went to the Railway station around 4:30pm with all my college friends. There was a passenger train at 5pm and an express train at 6:15pm. Since some of my friends had not yet reached the station, all of them decided to wait for them and board the 6:15 train. As I was eagerly waiting to go home, I decided to board the 5pm passenger train, which was almost crowded by that time. It was already 4:45pm. But anyways, I informed my friend Darshan and quickly took the ticket from the ticket counter. Unfortunately, as I headed towards the train, it started raining heavily. I got into one of the compartments and started searching for a seat in that already crowded train.

To my horror, there was not a single seat available. I tried searching for a seat in another compartment. But, even there, the same issue- no seats. I didn’t know what to do at that time. I got tired of searching seats and stood still, thinking. There was lot of bad sweating smell in almost all the coaches due to the people who were over-crowded by now. I went to compartment by compartment. And now, I saw a few people being seated in the sleeping compartment. Luckily I found one of those places to be empty. But there was more disgust to come.

Now comes the real fun : I climbed up that empty place and tried to sit there. That place was so small that I wasn’t able to sit. Then I tried sleeping. It was very suffocating and I could’nt sleep also. I removed my shoes, tried every possible way to adjust myself there, until I realised that it was not the sleeping compartment. But it was the LUGGAGE-KEEPING Compartment where I was trying to adjust myself !!!!!

This went on till 4:55pm and the train was about to leave in 5 minutes. Atlast, I decided to get down the train, as I couldn’t bear the suffocation anymore, happening to me at that time. Finally I got down from that train and also sold my ticket to one passenger waiting to get a ticket.

Now, I started searching my friends who were still waiting for the other friends to reach the station. I found them at the entrance of the station. By that time, even the other friends arrived. We all drank tea at the Café-Coffee day at the station.

Finally, we all travelled home in the 6:15 train with full enjoyment. I was very happy and relieved at that time, else I would have never travelled in a train again…!!!
