Raw and real

Katheyondu Shuruvagide (2018) Cast : Diganth Manchale, Pooja Devariya, Ashwin Rao Director : Senna Hegde Music composer : Sachin Warrier Genre : Rom/Com Synopsis : Tarun, the owner of a resort, finds a wonderful partner in his guest Tanya, over four days of togetherness Rating : ★★★★★ "A slice of quality cinema" Senna Hegde brings us a beautiful tale of a young resort owner and his depressed guest on a four-day journey. A fresh wave in Kannada cinema, this film tells every viewer how good cinema still hasn't lost its way yet. Diganth does a wonderful job with his mature acting skills and so does Pooja, a refined actress. The film keeps you glued to the screen, thanks to the polished talents and watch-worthy shoot locations. Not a minute does the film bore you and manages to keep its audience intact throughout the film. The film never makes you cringe at any scene. Hegde tries to keep the story raw and real (and succeeds, thankfully), but things s

I find myself in.......

Letting my emotions loose. I feel the pressure building up in me The flow of emotion bundled up My mind a dam itself, tries to hold it still While it threatens to crack open When I find myself at the brink of all control My soul and mind at war Perplexed in a situation As black and white as can be My heart decides to let it loose And watch the tears stream down And carry the anxiety and troubles along with it While I learn to accept That it is okay to let loose of yourself To let the volcano erupt someday For no being can remain one Without any emotion For one without any is no more than A lifeless form of skin and bones. Denying the very lifelines that make us human Could leave a lasting imprint on the human soul Very much like the feathery clouds high up above The burden of little water drops Might seem like a trivial matter Not when they weigh heavily on the clouds Those tiny drops of water Cannot remain there for eternity For it has to someday Or

Silver streaks of time

As seconds turn into minutes Minutes into hours And the days stretch into years My eyes wander for the future Awaiting ahead in uncertainty Toiling hard for Tomorrow Without looking back at Yesterday Ignoring the beauty of Today So swiftly did the years pass Too busy was I fretting over The troubles waiting in the Future Too occupied was I to taste and cherish The joy and laughter of Today Won't the joyous breeze of yesterday Ever caress me ever so gently, again? Won't the devils of the uncrossed bridges of Tomorrow Ever cease to torment me in my dreams, once? Won't my sons, who now are too busy with their own lives Ever leave a phone call for me? Won't I ever see my grandchildren, Who have never once seen their grandfather? As life ebbs and flows calmly this second, Would I watch these waves Flow in the ocean of life, in peace Or would these divine waves, too Dance away its seething fury, only to Crush me under its feet, in a raging

Flowery and sweet Gently to my nose does it greet Embracing me in a fragrant aura A subtle touch of elegant flora Brushes me into an enchanting dream Of fresh lilies and vanilla cream The scent of my mother nigh A whiff and a faint cry Moment to another, begins to fade A sorrowful adieu it bade Oh, won't you hang on for a moment or two? Makes me yearn to cling on to its hue...

Appa

Every time I drowned in tears of sorrow Your finger wiped them away Every time I was in pain Your heart suffered in silence Every time I was weighed down by heavy clouds You made my day sunny with your smile Every time I was on the verge of losing heart You patted me on my back and Helped me unlock my true potential Every time I crumbled in defeat Your words gave me strength To get back up yet again Every time you planted a kiss Your beard often pricked my cheek I still enjoy it Being smothered in love. When I shattered into tiny fragments You picked up every piece of me And stuck them back together again With the glue of love. I could always pour my worries out Share my darkest secrets deep within And not be worried about being judged For you were always willing to lend me your ear A shoulder to cry on. Every time I succeed You were the first one to celebrate Every time I was in need You were the last person to leave You accepted my quirks And
