The RUN

It was 2009 and the Month was one

Ticket booking was the only thing Done

Prepration was a real pun

Still it was time to RUN

Marathon running is always fun
With no Preparations Done
When also joined by Sun
Its like facing the Gun
Still it was time to RUN

Distance was just Twenty One
Seemed like an endless Run
Lack of Preparation was Seen by Everyone
Still it was time to RUN
As I ran the last mile
I saw myself Smile
with mix of Pleasure and Pain
That was the End of Run
Next three days were just Fun

It will be 2010, I tell Myself
Better Preparations will be done
It will be again time to RUN
And Running will always be FUN
If you are already not a RUNNER
It high time you become ONE.

Running the Mumbai Maraton - 2009 was an Amazing Expirience in itself, here is the route map we took to run the Half Marathon, I hope I will get some time soon to capture my Emotions during the run and make a write up, If I happen to make will post and will keep you guys posted.

Sant and Deepak Who Ran with me in the Mumbai Maraton, made this Fantastic video, and hats off to their sharp eyes that Captured the Nano second of our appearance on TV news...below is the video.

!Oh Spark, Where are you ?

Today 28th Feb is A's Birthday, Here is a Bouquet of poetry just for him.

SKY !
Now that you reached thirty five
Let me ask you WHY

In all the girls you met
I am sure and I can bet
Many were so sweet
What are your expectations
That they did not meet

I know you will ask, why not
I am looking for a SPARK
till date I could not spot

your life will nolonger be dark
I can see a flashing SPARK
getting into your ARC
That will light up your life
That day is not far
when the SPARK will be your wife.

Here is another composition by Sunand

As I Go By,
Along This Lonely Walk
All Day I Think
And Step In Dark
Fond Thoughts Of You
In Mind We Talk
As I Search To See
That Single Spark

I Am The Akash ,
You Are The Only Lark
Come Towards Me ,
Get Into My Arc
This Is The Open Heart
You Make The Mark
Please Come To Me
You Have That Single Spark

I Will Go To Park
Not Even Leave The Saarc
Sky Is The Limit My Dear
I Want A Splash Of Your Spark

M also has put his share of the flower in the Bouquet

A Wish you a very happy B'day, Have a great day.

ನಮ್ಮ ಶಾಲೆ, ನಮ್ಮೂರ ಶಾಲೆ

ನಾನು ಕೆಲಸದ ಮೆಲೆ ಚಿನಾ ಪ್ರವಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದಾಗ, ಆಕಾಶ, ರೋಹಿತ ಹಾಗು ಮೈತ್ರಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಆಂದೋಲನದ ಮೂಲಕ ಹಂಚುವ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಮೇಲೆ ಮುದ್ರಿಸಲು ಒಂದು ಕವಿತೆ ಬೇಕು ಅಂದಾಗ, ಅಕಸ್ಮಾತಾಗಿ ಜನಿಸಿತು ನನ್ನ ಮೊದಲ ಕನ್ನಡ ಕವನ, ನಮ್ಮ ಶಾಲೆ, ನಮ್ಮೂರ ಶಾಲೆ.

______________

ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ದಿನವು ನಲಿಸುವ ಶಾಲೆ

ಮನವನ್ನು ದಿನವು ತಣಿಸುವ ಶಾಲೆ

ಬಿಸಿಯಾದ ಉಟಾ ಉಣಿಸುವ ಶಾಲೆ

ನಮ್ಮ ಶಾಲೆ ನಮ್ಮೂರ ಶಾಲೆ

______________

ಓದುಲು ಬರೆಯಲು ಕಲಿಸುವ ಶಾಲೆ

ಜಿವನವ ಬೆಳಗಿಸುವ ಶಾಲೆ

ಪ್ರಗತಿಯ ಪಥದಲಿ ನಡೆಸುವ ಶಾಲೆ

ನಮ್ಮ ಶಾಲೆ ನಮ್ಮೂರ ಶಾಲೆ

______________

ಎಲ್ಲರು ಬನ್ನಿ, ಬರದವರ ಕರೆ ತನ್ನಿ

ಕುಣಿದು ಕುಪ್ಪಳಿಸಿ ಆಡುವ ಬನ್ನಿ

ನಿಮ್ಮಯ ಜಿವನ ರೂಪಿಸ ಬನ್ನಿ

ಕೂಲಿಯಿಂದಾ ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ಬನ್ನಿ

ಕೈ ಬಿಸಿ ಕರೆಯುತಿದೆ
ನಮ್ಮ ಶಾಲೆ ನಮ್ಮೂರ ಶಾಲೆ.
