ಬಿಸಿಲುಕುದುರೆ

ಜಾರಿ ಹೋಗುತಿರುವ ದಿನಗಳು, ಕಳೆದು ಹೋಗುತಿರುವ ಜೀವನ, ಓಡಿ ಹೋಗುತಿರುವ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳು. ನೋಡು ನೋಡುತಿದ್ದಂತೆ ಕಣ್ಣು ಮುಂದೆಯೇ ಬದುಕು ಕುದುರೆಯನ್ನೇರಿ ವೇಗವಾಗಿ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಅದರ ಜೊತೆ ನಾನೂ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆಗೆ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಸೇರಿಸ ಬೇಕು ಅಂದರೆ ಏನೋ ನನ್ನನು ತಡೆದು ಹಿಡಿದಂತೆ.  ಮುಂದೆ ಹೋಗಲಾರದೆ, ಹಿಂದೆಯೂ ತಿರುಗಲಾರದಂತೆ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ. ಎಲ್ಲ ಇದ್ದು ಏನೋ ಕೊರತೆ. ಯಾವುದನ್ನೋ ಹುಡುಕ್ಕುತಿರುವ ತವಕ, ಬಯಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಂಬಲ. ಬಹುಷಃ, ಇದನ್ನೇ ಗ್ನ್ಯಾನಿಗಳು  ಜೀವನೋದ್ದೇಶ ಅನ್ನುತಿದ್ದರೇನೋ. ನಮ್ಮ ಬದುಕಿನ ಸಾರ್ಥಕತೆ ಕಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ನಮ್ಮ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ. ಕಲವರು ಜೀವನವೇ ಪಯಣಾ ಅಂದರೆ, ಕೆಲವರು ಪಯಣವೆ ಜೀವನ ಅನ್ನುವರು. ಕಯ್ಯಿ ಚಾಚಿ ಕಳೆದು ಹೋದುದನು ಬಾಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಹೋದರೆ ಒಂದು ಹಿಡಿ ಜೀವನವೂ ದೊರಕದು. ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡರೆ ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಇದೆ, ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಏನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಇರುವ ಮತ್ತು ಇಲ್ಲದಿರುವ ನಡುವೆಯ ತುಮುಲವೇ ಬದುಕು. ನನ್ನೊಳಗಿನ ಬರಡು ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ಹಸಿರಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುವ ರೀತಿಯನ್ನು ನಾನು ಹುಡುಕಬೇಕಿದೆ. ನಡೆಯುವ ದಾರಿ ಎಷ್ಟು ಮುಖ್ಯವೋ, ಹೊಗ್ಗುತಿರುವ ದಿಕ್ಕು ಹಾಗು ಪಯಣದ ಉದ್ದೇಶವೂ ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಮುಖ್ಯ. ಆದಷ್ಟು ಬೇಗ ಈ ದಾರಿ, ಉದ್ದೇಶ ಮತ್ತು ದಿಕ್ಕನ್ನು ನಾ ಪಡೆಯುವಂತೆ ಆಗಲಿ ಎಂದು ಬಯಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

Priorities

I remember attending this work shop at one of my previous places of work. It was on Time Management. I also remember the person conducting this work shop telling us that one of the essentials of effective time management is prioritization. Set your priorities right, he said, and half your problem is solved. We are supposed to segregate our daily tasks and put them under labels such as Urgent and Important, Urgent but not Important, Important but not Urgent, not Urgent not Important etc; Apparently if most of your tasks fall under the third category ( Important but not Urgent), then you are like the Guru of Time Management. Quiet fascinating actually! But practical too? I don't think so. How many of us would actually be able to follow this? Time Management apart, the concept of prioritization somehow fascinates me. I mean look at it from a Woman's point of view- Career or family? Husband or Children? Parents or Husband? Friends or Children? Beauty Parlor or work? The last one ...

Wandering mind

Image
What can I do with a mind like this That wanders often and stumbles so, That hurts and pains but doesn't give up That searches for something it is not sure of. What can I do with a mind like this That desires what cannot be obtained, That seeks to find what cannot be seen That asks to get what cannot be achieved. What can I do with a mind like this That doesn’t tire, doesn’t stop, That doesn’t think, doesn’t deliberate That hardly knows what it wants. I could ask it to slow down; I could ask it to be careful; I could ask it to be sensible; I could ask it to grow up. But a wandering mind can hardly be curbed. You cannot set boundaries, you cannot tie it down. It’s meant to soar high; it’s meant to wander, Let me let it find it’s ground!

So many yet so little

Image
So many decisions, so little those are correct So many dreams, so little realized So many ideas, so little those are executed So many moments, so little that are relived So many people, so little those are valued So many questions, so little those are answered So many challenges, so little that are faced So many obstacles, so little those are overcome So many unfulfilled tasks, so little time So many fears, so little those are valid So many companions, so little those stick on So many desires, so little that are curbed So many breaths, so little life we add to them!!
