I want to quit

I want to quit, I can't hassle anymore, it's been an year I have started this, I am working day and night, haven't made a single penny, it's getting harder..

I want to quit, it's too much to balance between work,home and kid, I don't get a minute for me, I feel tired..

I want to quit, these bags feel heavy on my back, wondering around, waiting for perfect captures, sleeping in forest, in deserts, in tents. I long for home..

I want to quit, I haven't been able to think single  scene, I think I don't fit in, there are better movie makers than me, I feel lost..

I want to quit, I can't lift weights again, I can't run single mile more, I cant handle anymore bruise on my face, I don't want that medal too.. 

I want to quit..

I failed one more exam, I lost one more game, my new recipe still taste disaster, my one more blog post went unread, i missed my son's PT meeting once again, my hands still shakes in OT today,  my start up yet not funded, I still cry in efforts..

But, I won't quit

Cz,

All the little things I long

All the pretty things I crave 

Of all the images I behold

My struggle is the most beautiful.. 

I won't quit.. 

ಕವಿತೆಗಳ ಕೊನೆಯ ಸಾಲಿನ ಕಾರಣ..

ನೆನಪುಗಳು

ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳಾಗಿ ಪ್ರತಿಭಟಿಸಿದಾಗ

ಸುಕ್ಕು ಗಟ್ಟಿದ ಹಾಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ

ಗೀಚಿ - ಗೀಟಾಕಿ ನಶಿಸಿಹೋದ

ಆದಿ ಅಂತ್ಯಗಳಿಲ್ಲದ

ಸಾಲುಗಳಿವು

****

ನೆನಪುಗಳೇ ಹೀಗೆ

ಮಾಸಿದ ಗೋಡೆ ಬಣ್ಣದಂತೆ

ಮರೆಮಾಚುವುದು ಅಷ್ಟು ಸುಲಭವಲ್ಲ

****

ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಂಗಳದಲ್ಲಿ ರಂಗೋಲಿ ಬರೆದು

ನಾಳೆಗಳೆಂಬ ಬಣ್ಣ ತುಂಬಿ

ಕನಸಿಣ್ಣೆ ಹಾಕಿ ಹಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟ

ದೀಪವೇ ನೀನು

****

ಏನಿಲ್ಲ

ನಿನ್ನ ಕವಿತೆಗಳ

ಕೊನೆಯ ಸಾಲಿನ

ಕಾರಣವಾಗಬೇಕಿತ್ತಷ್ಟೆ.. 

Dear 2017,

New Year, Old Hopes.

New eyes, Old Dreams.

Dear 2017,

Welcome. Hope you enjoyed your 2 week  stay with us and don’t have  any plans of messing up remaining  364 days. Thank you, Well keeping the same expectation from you, Here; I  promise you I will take you as you gonna be. I promise this year and rest all years of my life “I will not be Judgmental.” Yes you heard it right, I will never judge anyone for anything and continue admire each and every individual for what they are.

I will not judge person on his skin color, hair color and nor even on those orange colored pants he/she decides to wear. I will still appreciate each one who decided to work 9-5 in that tiny cubicle or gave a shot to set a stage on fire with their guitar, decided to wonder around with huge cameras to capture those perfect moments or gave it up all to raise their perfect child. Yes you all have my admiration beyond your imagination. I will never impose my political beliefs on one, though he/she feel/assume/believe extreme contrary to me.  I will listen to people who choose to speak in their mother tongue or no, I will still listen.  I cherish every emotion of a person who decided to love, love repeatedly or not to love at all. I will take a pleasure of knowing everyone no matter what; Shining or broken.

Yes, This 2017 I wont judge people, in fact I will judge my every action once before and then proceed.

Thank you and much love

-  Someone sincerely hoping for betterment.
