മഹാഭാരതം poem by S.SALIM KUMAR

മൃഗശീര്‍ഷനാം രാജാവെത്തുന്നു പടനില

ത്തെതിര്‍ക്കാന്‍ മൃഗകായന്‍ പ്രമുഖ ശത്രു പണ്ടേ.

യുദ്ധമായ്‌ മഹാദ്വന്ദ യുദ്ധമായ്‌ മൃഗശീര്‍ശന്‍ 

തന്നുടെയധികാരമകുടം തെറിക്കുന്നു 

മകുടം ലഭിച്ചതോ മൃഗകായനാണവന്‍ 

ഭരിച്ചു കുറേക്കാലം മകുടം തെറിക്കാതെ

ശാന്തിയായ് കുറേക്കാലം.. മുടിഞ്ഞു ജനാവലി..

അത്ഭുതം !മഹാത്ഭുതം!! പത്രങ്ങളുല്‍ഘോഷിച്ചു.

അങ്ങനെ യടങ്ങുമോ ശാന്തിയാല്‍ ഭടവൃന്ദം? 

പിന്നെയും തുടങ്ങലായ് യുദ്ധമേ..മഹായുദ്ധം.

പൂര്‍വാവതാരങ്ങളോ പുതുതായവതരി

ച്ചെത്തുന്നു നവയുദ്ധ യോജ്യരായ് സന്നദ്ധരായ് .

കൃഷ്ണനും സുയോധന വൃന്ദവുമൊരു പക്ഷം 

ഭീഷ്മരും കുന്തീപുത്രര്‍ മൂവരും മറു പക്ഷം.

നകുലസഹദേവസോദരര്‍ നിക്ഷ്പക്ഷരായ് 

കാരണം മാദ്രീപുത്രര്‍ മറ്റോരമ്മതന്‍ മക്കള്‍  .

പൊരിഞ്ഞ പോരാട്ടമായസ്ത്രങ്ങളഗ്നി,ബ്രഹ്മം !

ആവനാഴികള്‍ മൊത്തം ശൂന്യമായവസാനം 

കൃഷ്ണനും പിതാമഹഭീഷ്മരും മാദ്രീപുത്രര്‍ 

രണ്ടാളും ശിഖണ്ടിയുമല്ലാതെയൊരുത്തരും 

ശേഷിച്ചതില്ല യുദ്ധഭൂമിയില്‍, സമാധാനം 

കാംക്ഷിച്ചു നിന്നൂ സര്‍വ വീരരും പക്ഷേ യുദ്ധ-

മില്ലെങ്കില്‍ ലഭിക്കുമോ വീരര്‍ക്ക് സമാധാനം? 

പകിട, ബലാല്‍ക്കാരം, പടഹം, മഹാഗീത..

സര്‍വ്വതും സന്നദ്ധമായ്, തുടങ്ങീ വീണ്ടും യുദ്ധം. 

പോരെന്തു കിടച്ചാലും, പോരുതാന്‍ മഹാശ്ചര്യം!  

യുദ്ധമോ തീര്‍ന്നു, സഹദേവനും നകുലനും 

യുദ്ധഭൂമിയില്‍ നിന്നൂ പിന്നെയും യുദ്ധത്തിനായ്‌..

ശിഖണ്ഡി  മധ്യസ്ഥനായ്‌, യുദ്ധമായ്‌, മഹാ

ദ്വന്ദ്വയുദ്ധമായ്‌ മഹാമന്ത്ര വാദികള്‍ കളിക്കയായ്. 

നകുലന്‍ മൃഗശീര്‍ഷനാവുന്നു, സഹദേവ

നാവുന്നു മൃഗകായന്‍ - യുദ്ധമായ്‌ മഹായുദ്ധം! 

കൃഷ്ണനും പിതാമഹ ഭീഷ്മരും കുന്തീപുത്രര്‍ 

മൂവരും സുയോധനര്‍ സര്‍വ്വരുമക്ഷൌഹിണീ 

വൃന്ദവും പാഞ്ചാലിതന്‍ മുടിയും ഗാന്ധാരിതന്‍ 

കണ്‍കളും പണ്ടേപ്പോലെ യെടുത്തു മഹാജന്മം..

യുദ്ധമായ്‌ പൂര്‍വാധികം ഭംഗിയായ്‌ മഹാശ്ചര്യം!!

കിട്ടണം പണം മഹായുദ്ധമേ മഹാശ്ചര്യം!!!

Cinema, Politics and the real face

Cinema, Politics and the real face

How the stars of our cinema and politics are really looking like ?  Nobody knows.Even the stars and politicians themselves don't know what their real face is!.  They  maintain  the image  through make up, dyeing, hair transpant and so on.   They are regular customers of dyes and cosmetics.They convince themselves as young. But the characters they present tell the truth that the actors cannot hide their age.  Acting means maintaining themselves as young ?   

During  live shows of parliament and assemblies we waych that 90% of the members of those constitutional bodies are customers of dyes.  Always they have black hair ,beard and moustache. 

When these actors of cinema and politics  will get the will  to face the people with their real face? 

 When   Gipsy has  completed the discussion about this with  the donkey, it ran away to the cosmetic shop and returned with a kit of make up materials.   It wanted to  fulfill the ever challenging wish  to become  a horse  to participate   the race.  After make up it ran away to the race course and the Gipsy walked in the race course to watch the donkey's fate.

Gipsy’s donkey

Gipsy’s donkey responds more than the gipsy, as it has   powerful legs to kick.

World is becoming more and more wild.  But the forests are vanishing. Animals  became extinct and the men compensated with them. So the Gipsy escaped from everything and wandered all over the globe and making blogs from everywhere.  He never stayed anywhere more than a day.  He see all types of things happen, and the response of others to them. He is not responding.  He travel always.     the  response of this great escapistis to   travel and travel.  He is travelling through the minds, the veins of life, the forests of politics, the waterfalls of ideas, the desert of sins and so on….sometimes on foot, sometimes on donkey, sometimes on camel, sometimes on horse and sometimes on buffalo.  He never use the motorised vehicles.  He is seen mostly with his donkey.   He is abstract just like his trackless  tracks.  Gipsy’s donkey responds more than the gipsy, as it has  the   to kick. And expect the kick of    donkey attached to the Gipsy.  Be ready to show the part where you want the kick. The donkey always want to be a horse, so that it can participate the horse trading.

Donkeys of Bajanthris

Donkeys of Bajanthris It was election in Karnataka and Gipsy was riding his donkey through each and every constituency.  But when they reached Terdal constituency they have seen a wonderful scene.  Gipsy’s donkey was very pride   till then as he thought he was the only donkey in the world, but he melted when he saw hundreds of donkeys are coming each having a rider.  Surprisingly they all were going to the polling booths. The donkeys don’t have votes, but their masters have.   Terdal Assembly constituency  of Karnataka has its own band of donkey riders. They are called  Bajanthri which literally means a player of a village band.  But they have taken donkey rearing as their means of earning.  They are settled in the villages of Jamkhandi  Taluk of Bagalkot  district.  They own hundreds of donkeys. They migrate seasonally to villages in Belgaum district  bordering to Maharashtra . They and their donkeys work in brick kilns. June to December they and their donkeys take rest. One who are unable to hire vehicles  depend Bajanthris to load their  small loads of various materials such as sand, bricks etc. About 70 to 80 families of Bajanthris are there in the five or six villages   of Jamkhandi Taluk.  Most of these families reside in villages surrounding Rabakavi and Banahatti. Population of the donkies all over the villages is about 3000. Every year they migrate to Kullolli, Yediyur, Manjri and Chinchli villages of Belgaum district located about 80 kms from their villages. They go to these villages normally   eight days after Diwali and return in mid-June or the first week of July depending on the onset of monsoon. Kiln owners pay them a sum of money ranging from Rs 20000 to 30000 as advance for the next season. Outside the polling booths all the donkeys were tied to some trees or some were made stand in gangs near the booths , when the Bajanthris were casting their votes.  Gipsy don’t know other donkies’ language  but his donkey knew the other donkies’ language.  All those donkies want to vote, but their names  were not listed.

The Laughing Tree

The Laughing Tree

Donkey was doing many foolish movements by which the Gipsy became irritated.  Donkey kept sizeable distance from Gipsy, whenever they get time to communicate each other.  In a remote villageof Kerala there was a primary school.  In front of the small school building there was a tree.  As soon as the schools opened  after  the vacations  the tree started to blossom.  After some days, when the classes  became crowded   the tree began its sensitivity to the teachings and the students' response to it. when ever the students are telling wrong or foolish answers, they heard a laughing sound and had seen the tree is showering flowers.  If they tell one wrong answer the tree puts one flower. the tree put down its flowers as per the numbers of foolish answers the students or teachers said.The students became furious, as always the tree used to laugh on their foolishness. Teachers also became fed up with the tree because sometimes, they were not an exemption for foolishness.  The students look to the tree immediately after the teachers tell something. If then flowers are put by the tree it meant that the teachers were wrong, and the students realized it.One day the teachers and students collectively decided to cut off the tree which is always laughing on them. Equipped with axes and spades the students and teachers approached the tree to cut take out its roots, the tree began to laugh.  Flowers began to fell aplenty.  The tree showered and showered flowers.  The students and teachers surprised, why the tree is laughing when they are to  cut and uproot it.  They looked each other.

Youngest of the students, a nursery student told in a screaming voice :  We are going to do a great foolishness, that’s the reason that flowers are showered by the tree. Don’t cut the tree, it will be a great foolishness.  But we can request the tree to shower flowers, when we say good things and correct answers only.

The tree agreed and said, I will never reveal your wrong things, I will be happy, if always you try to say good answers and good things, I will not laugh for your foolishness.

From that day the students began to study well and the teachers started to teach them well the lessons.  The tree remained ever flowering. The whole atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

gipsy

Small brain  cannot control a huge body

Donkey told Gipsy that politicians are good players.  They play with the people’s fate, and the fate of the country.  They play with money, muscle power and manipulation.  They are good runners, boxers, wrestlers and players of every sport.  But only the thing they lack is sportsman spirit. They know the art of flexibility  and as they are good gymnasts. Real  players of sports are not able to do all the things that politicians   do.  They only obey the politicians to get enrolment in the team. And even bring good fortune to the opposite team. The country knows that Politicians are good players  so they control every event of sport.  Indian foot ball is   controlled by Priyaranjan Das Munshi.  Archery by Vijay Kumar Malhotra, Cricket by Sharad Pawar.  (He knows well the (agri)culture of cricket, some   spelt  it correctly or wrongly as uglyculture of cricket.  Over all the Indian Olympic Association is under Suresh Kalmadi.  Poor  man KPS Gill was kicked out of the  Hockey Federation, because he was not a politician but a cop who still has to develop the tactics to cope with the politicians. Thus thought the donkey, and he  told these things to all his known people.  And he was planning to make  All India Donkey Sport Association, but then came a politician and he offered good food to the donkey and liberation from the Gipsy. So the donkey is now a days thinking deeply about the offer of the politician. Any how donkey is organising the association, which he can sell after a good bargain.But gipsy is still riding the donkey. Donkey has its own words to tell about nuke deal which will decide the fate of indian politics.    The Great Indian Dinosaur called  Democracy has the master brain calledm political system which control  the huge body of the country . The donkey has some heriditory knowledge that the donosaurs became extinct because they couldn't devolop the tactics for existence as their brains were very small and not capable to control the huge body, just like the Indian Democracy. (a small brain  cannot control a huge body). The Great Indian dinosaur   Indian political system isproving this theory time and again.  The Great Indian Dinosaur called  Democracy  is still not extinct, but marching towards  extinction.
