ದೂರದ ನಲ್ಲೆ

ನಾನು ಇಂದು ನಿನ್ನಿಂದ ದೂರದಲ್ಲಿರುವೆ
ಇದು ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಯ ಅಸಹಜತೆಯೋ ಎಂಬಂತಿದೆ
ಸಪ್ತ ಸಾಗರದಾಚೆ ಸುಪ್ತ ಸಾಗರ ಇದೆ ಎಂದು
ಹುಡುಕಿ ಬಂದವ ನಾನಲ್ಲ

ಹೇಗೆ ಮರೆಯಲಿ ನಿನ್ನಯ ಆ ಬಿಗಿ ಅಪ್ಪುಗೆ
ಹೇಗೆ ಮರೆಯಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಆ ಸಲ್ಲಾಪದ ಮಾತು
ನಿನ್ನಯ ಚಹರೆ ಇಂದೂ ಇದೆ ಕಣ್ಣ ಮುಂದೆ
ಹಿಂದೆಂದೂ ನಿನ್ನಿಂದ ಇಷ್ಟು ದೂರ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ

ಇವು ಕೇವಲ ಪದಗಳ ಸಾಲಲ್ಲ
ನನ್ನೆಯ ತುಡಿತದ ಭಾವನಾ ಲಹರಿ
ಇನ್ನು ಆಗದು ಈ ವಿರಹದ ಬೇಗೆ
ಬಂದು ಬಿಡುವೆ ನಿನ್ನಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ನಾ ಇಂದು

ನಲ್ಲೆ ಮತ್ತು ದೀಪಾವಳಿ

ನಿನ್ನಯ ಒಡನಾಟ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ತುಂಟಾಟ,

ಬಿಂಕ ಬಿಗುಮಾನ ಪಟಾಕಿಯ ಸರಸರ

ನಿನ್ನಡುಗೆಯ ಸವಿ ನನಗೆ ಸ್ವರ್ಗದ ಪರಿ,

ನೀ ನನಗಾಗಿ ಅವತರಿಸಿದ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಿಯೇ ಸರಿ

ಹಿಂದೆ ತವರಿನ ಮನೆಯ ಬೆಳಗಿದೆ ನೀನು,

ಇಂದು ಬೆಳಗು ನನ್ನಯ ಹ್ರ್ಯುದಯವನು

ಒಲ್ಲದ ಮುನಿಸನು ನನ್ನೊಡನೆ ಬಿಡು,

ದೀಪಾವಳಿ ಮುಗಿದೊಡನೆ ಹಿಂದುರಿಗಿ ಬಂದು ಬಿಡು

-- ಇಂತಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಪತಿ

Architect: Why are you asking me to estimate more these days?

Manager: There is a drive for productivity improvement from the management.

Architect: So...

Manager: We estimate more and finish early – That’s how we show savings....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VP (Manufacturing) as an improvement we should maintain docs online in computers

VP (IT) As an improvement we should document on a black board

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Employee: We can use a term like "Ulithaya" (Kannada word for saving) for Savings

Manager: we can't use that word

Employee: why not? we are using a word like Kaizen (Japanese for improvement) which hardly anyone understand

Manager: Kaizen is a foreign word.... come up with something in Greek, Latin or Japanese

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manager: I need a design for storing data

Employee: We can store data in CSV format

Manager: Any other idea

Employee: we can copy data in text format, build an interface using latest MOSS and .net technology, export data into the warehouse, develop Service Oriented Architecture, Interface with SAP, develop web service which will send data using RSS feed, a client interface written using Rich Internet Application will write data in CSV format.

Manager: Wow! this is what I call an architecture

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IT Employee: Why are we writing on white board instead of documenting on our computer?

IT Manager: That’s how we capture Kaizen...

IT Employee: wow! A Kaizen struck me... why don’t we train our staff in computers?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customer visiting workplace: why are you writing on a black board?

IT Manager: that’s how we capture our ideas

Customer: I though you are an IT organization and know how to use computers

Stupidity in IT; now I am part of it

Everyone tries to be busy

But don't worry, take it easy

Are they addressing the problem?

No, they think about it seldom

What is this buzz all about?

It is just about buzz words...

Why are we living like this?

Being materialistic made us like this

We are hopeful of contributing to humanity

Being more valuable to the society

One day we will look beyond silly IT

We should not be another brick in the wall

Consider things beyond this wall

Is there a ray of hope?

Our current state says nope

Is everyone trying to be opportunistic?

Or am I just too pessimistic

Meetings, reviews, audits and process

Why are we part of this rat race...?

Stupidity in IT; now I am part of it

Yet another meeting

Today I am in yet another meeting;

I wonder why am I here sitting.

Don’t I have a better thing to do?

Or is this what I am intended to do.

All I need is a break from this;

Fed up of breaking my head like this

Guys around me are so dumb;

I have decided to be numb.

Today I am in yet another meeting;

I wonder why am I here sitting.

My life is no more the same

I can not think of someone;

But you. Yes, you are the one.

Some say my life is not as before;

I am not the same guy any more.

You have given direction to me;

I feel this is what I want to be.

Thanks for being with me in daylight;

And I can count on you in twilight.

I can not think of someone;

But you. Yes, you are the one.
