You'll never know

Quite too often in life you are left all alone amidst a million people, wondering how you want to project yourself to them and how the people around you perceive you. This song is just about to say that.

A very meaningful song and a cocktail entry into my Bhaava-geethe collection, which means no less.


Take a look around this lonely place;
Where a mask is worn on every face;
And painted lips, gently kiss;
The end of their cigarettes.

This word is dressed, in such finesse;
To cover all the emptiness;
We are standing here, in between;
The pages of a magazine;

You'll never know, what i feel inside me;
I never know, what you think about;
Until we share what we keep in private;
Until we find what we are living without;

Our shadows move, across the wall;
All promises, no talk at all;
Inside the crowd, we dance alone;
With faces made of stone;


You'll never know, what i feel inside me;
I never know, what you think about;
Until we share what we keep in private;
Until we find what we are living without;

ಭಗವಂತನ ಪ್ರೀತಿಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರನಾಗಿ ತನ್ನನು ತಾನೇ ಅವನಲ್ಲಿ ಅರ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಕಾತರವಾಗಿರುವ ಜೀವವೊಂದರ ಹೃದಯದ ಮಾತುಗಳು ಕವಿಯ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಯ ಮಾತುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊರಬಂದಿರುವುದು ಇಂತು:

ನಿನ್ನೆಡೆಗೆ ಬರುವಾಗ, ಸಿಂಗರದ ಹೊರೆಯೀಕೆ;
ಸಡಗರದ ಮಾತುಗಳ ಬಿಂಕವೇಕೆ;
ನಿನ್ನ ಮುಂದಿರುವಾಗ ಮಂತ್ರಗಳ ಮರೆಯೇಕೆ;
ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯದ ಮರುಳ ಲಜ್ಜೆಯೇಕೆ ;

ನೇಪುರದ ಗೆಜ್ಜೆಗಳ ಕಿಂಕಿಣಿಯ ದನಿ;
ನಿನ್ನ ಸವಿಗೊರಳಿನಿಂಚರವ ಕೆಡಿಸದಿರಲಿ;
ಮಂತ್ರಗಳ ಜವನಿಕೆಯು ದೊರೆ ನಿನ್ನ;
ಸಿರಿ ಮೈಯ್ಯ ಸೌಂದರ್ಯವನು ಮುಪ್ಪುಗಯ್ಯದಿರಲಿ;

ನಗ್ನತೆಗೆ ನಾಚದೆಯೆ ಸಿರಿ ತಳಿರ ತೆಕ್ಕೆಯಿಂ;
ಮೂಡಿ ಸುಗ್ಗಿಯನುಲಿವ ಹೂವಿನಂತೆ;
ಸಿಂಗರದ ಹೊರೆಯುಳಿದು; ಮಂತ್ರಗಳ ಮೊರೆಯುಳಿದು;
ಪ್ರೇಮದಾರತಿ ಹಿಡಿದು ತೇಲಿ ಬಂದೆ.

My favourite web links


A letter from well known physicist Richard Feynman, to his late beloved wife:
Really touching... Reminds me of the saying "I love you for not what you are, but for what I am, when you are with me." This letter speaks the true essence of the saying.

The Secret:
We really believe that a human is one of the really tiniest particles of the cosmos. Our life is greatly influenced by the universe and our surroundings. Did you know that the converse was true too? Go ahead, watch this to realize how you can create the energy around you to influence yourself.

Discovery - Curiosity:
Below is a series of documentaries aired on Discovery, which will make you think beyond the usual. What an amazing creation of the nature that you are, and at the same time how helpless you are. Get your feet back on the ground!
