ಪರಿವರ್ತನೆ

ಇಂದಿನದು ಯಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ಯುಗವೇ ಇರಬಹುದು. ಆದರೂ, ಭಾವಗಳ ಅಭಿವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ, ಸುಲಭ ಮತ್ತು ಅತಿ ಶೀಘ್ರ! ಇದು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗಿರುವುದು, ಜಾಣಸಂಚಾರಿ ದೂರವಾಣಿಗಳ (ಸ್ಮಾರ್ಟ್ ಮೊಬೈಲ್ ಪೋನ್) ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದದಿಂದ! ಭಾವನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬಿಸುವುದು ಅತಿ ಸುಲಭ! ಬೆರಳಂಚಿನಲ್ಲಿನ ಎಮೋಟಿಕಾನುಗಳು, ಪದಗಳನ್ನೂ ಮೀರಿದ ಕೆಲಸ ನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿವೆ.

ನಗುವೋ, ನಾಚಿಕೆಯೋ, ಕೋಪವೋ, ಬೇಸರವೋ, ಮುಗುಳ್ನಗೆಯೋ, ಮುಜುಗರವೋ, ಅಂಜಿಕೆಯೋ, ಯೋಚನೆಯೋ, ಭಯವೊ, ಭಕ್ತಿಯೋ, ಪ್ರೀತಿಯೋ ಇಲ್ಲ ನಿರಾಶೆಯೋ, ಅಥವಾ ಇದ್ಯಾವುದೆಂದು ವಿವರಿಸಲಾಗದ ನೀರವ ಮೌನವೋ, ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಬೆರಳಂಚಿನ ಮಾಯಾಜಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಲಭ ಪ್ರಸವ!

ಪ್ರತಿ ವರ್ಷವೂ ಯುಗಾದಿ, ದೀಪಾವಳಿ, ದಸರೆಗೆ ಬಂಧುಮಿತ್ರರೆಲ್ಲಾ ಸೇರುವುದಿತ್ತು. ಕಡೆಯಪಕ್ಷ ಹುಟ್ಟುಹಬ್ಬಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾರೈಕೆ, ಆಶೀರ್ವಾದ ಪಡೆಯುವ ವಾಡಿಕೆಯಿತ್ತು. ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಪತ್ರಗಳು, ಹಾರೈಕಾ ಪತ್ರಗಳ ಬದಲಾವಣೆ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭವಾಯಿತು. ನಂತರದ ದಿನಗಳನ್ನು ದೂರವಾಣಿ ಸಂದೇಶಗಳು ಆಳಿದರೂ, ವಿದ್ಯುತ್ ಅಂಚೆಗಳು ಆಧುನಿಕ ಪತ್ರವ್ಯವಹಾರಕ್ಕೆ ನಾಂದಿಹಾಡಿತು.

ಇಂದಿನ ಯುಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಚಾರಿ ದೂರವಾಣಿಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಜಾಣತನದಿಂದ ಜಗತ್ತನ್ನೇ ದಡ್ಡರನ್ನಾಗಿಸಿದೆ. ಹಬ್ಬ ಹರಿದಿನಗಳು, ಪತ್ರವ್ಯವಹಾರಗಳಿರಲಿ, ದೂರವಾಣಿ ಕರೆಗಳು, ಕ್ಷೇಮ ವಿಚಾರಿಸುವುದಿರಲಿ, ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಅಂಗೈಯಗಲದ ಪರದೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ! ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಭಾವನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಬೆರಳುಗಳಿಂದ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಕಳುಹಿಸಬೇಕಾದವರಿಗೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿದರೆ, ಭಾವನೆಗಳು ಪಕ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿರುವವರಿಗೂ, ದೂರದೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವವರಿಗೂ, ಸಪ್ತಸಾಗರದಾಚೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವವರಿಗೂ, ಕ್ಷಣಾರ್ಧದಲ್ಲೆ ಮುಟ್ಟುತ್ತದೆ.

ಆದರೆ, ಈ ಭಾವನೆಗಳ ಸ್ವೀಕರ್ತ, ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಅರ್ಥೈಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವನೋ, ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸ್ಪಂದಿಸುವನೋ, ಅಥವಾ ಸಂದೇಶವೊಂದನ್ನು ಹಿಂದಿರುಗಿಸುವುದರ ಮೂಲಕ ತನ್ನ ಇರುವಿಕೆಯ ನಂಬಿಸುವನೋ, ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲದ ವಿಷಯ:

When Being Strong Becomes Your Only Choice.....

It was nearing sunset when I was stepping out of a hospital. Yes, a hospital! Not that I'm ill, or anyone from my family, but as a part of my routine health checkup, I had to visit a giant health care unit today!

I strongly believe that, we, the humans, most intelligent creatures in this universe, are related to each other in one or the other way. Be it from Adam and Eve, or Brahma, the creator, entire population of earth is one family. You may like a few in the crowd, you may choose to stay away from a few. Truth is that, we all are from the same family, but we fail to recognize each other, we fail to understand each other, we fail to support each other and most importantly, we fail to respond to each other's emotions! This realization for me keeps happening frequently. More frequent these days.

Today, as I was waiting to meet my doc, I saw a woman being carried to the emergency room. The woman lying on the transport cot was terrified. I could see it clearly in her eyes, but I neither had time nor willingness to volunteer to stop and comfort her. A young woman, may be a few years elder to me, probably was terminally ill. No idea what illness, but she surely was prepared.

Birth and death have some similarities. They both are monumental occurrences that change your life forever. By the time I finished my work and was about to step out, I saw her little family of two kids with her husband taking her back home in an ambulance. Near the ambulance door, her husband was trying to assure her she'd be fine. But, she said 'No. I know I'm going home to die and I'm perfectly Okay with it! And you should be too...!'... Statement was followed with a smile!

That smile! I can really not define that smile. Was that a sign of preparedness?, strength?, content? or happiness that she's finally being freed of all the pain?! For a second, she did not look like a patient to me! Definitely not like a person about to die!

She taught me a great lesson: Being in good health doesn't just mean the absence of a disease or infirmity. Instead, it's a state of mind. It's a state of complete emotional and social well-being. At this hour of her final journey of life, before the ambulance doors were closed, she turned to her kids and with the same sparkling smile said 'take care of your body. It's the only place you can live in'!

I can never forget your smile. Take Care!

Emotional Fool?!

I hate the phrase 'Emotional Fool'....How can being emotional can be considered a foolistic act?! The face can speak a thousand words, but it can easily mask what the heart truly feels. Emotions, according to me, aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in "sadness," "joy," or "regret." Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feelings.

We all normally forget that its the EQ which drives people and not IQ which just helps you perform. IQ helps you make your living but it because of EQ you exist. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt at heart..

Womanhood ....

‘WOMANHOOD’ : Happy woman’s day to me!!

I was 16 when my mom bought me my first saree. An unforgettable moment of my life! I was very excited. I thought I’ll wake up a fully-formed woman next morning.. Now I know, in fact, this takes a whole lot longer than a good night's sleep. My dad said I was looking pretty in the saree I draped. I was happy. I was just fumbling about, a facade of femininity.

But, it did not take much time for me to understand the struggle behind attaining the real womanhood. Modern womanhood is hard to define. But, all of us know, it is defined by struggles. Struggles against impossible beauty standards, meaningless definitions of success! The struggle of separating from your roots, struggle of accepting someone whom you hardly know as your partner for life, struggle of either wanting kids or not to have them soon, and knowing that, no matter what you choose, an overwhelming majority of someone is going to think you're wrong!

But I started learning to be a 'woman'. I learnt to be reverent and temperate. I learnt to be chaste, gentle and quiet. I keep a clean, well-ordered home. Dad mentored me in providing hospitality, acts of kindness, service and mercy, or for demonstrating compassion for the poor and needy. I eventually learnt to live, love, forgive and forget!

I don't understand what's wrong with the society. why womanhood is most appreciated and recognized through sacrifices?! I think the identity and value of women has come to be equated with their role in family, society and community. That is how their 'worth' is generally defined, measured and experienced. But, this expectation of society from a 'woman' is probably what makes a 'woman' a 'real woman'! :-) 

As a woman, I feel so powerful. I can endure the pain of childbirth, I can take the responsibility an entire family, I can take decisions, I can dream big career and make it happen and all those constant back and forth of what it is to be a woman and I do so with grace, dignity and power.

Womanhood raises me to pinnacles of joy which no man is privileged enough to go through!

I wish myself a happy ‘Woman’s ‘life’!

Students whom I can never forget :-)
