ಚರಿತ್ರೆ

ಯುದ್ಧಭೂಮಿ ಅಲ್ಲದ ಜಾಗ
ಹುಡುಕಿದರೂ ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
ಗತವು ನೆನೆದಿದೆ- ರಕ್ತದಿಂದ,
ಕಷ್ಟದ ಕಣ್ಣೀರಿನಿಂದ.

ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಿದ ರಾಜ್ಯವಲ್ಲ
ಸೈನ್ಯದ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲ
ರಾಣಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಕಟ್ಟಿಸಿದ ಅರಮನೆಗಳಲ್ಲ,
ಚರಿತ್ರೆಯ ದೊಡ್ಡತನ.

ಕಪ್ಪು ಕೋಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ
ಬಿಗಿ ಉಸಿರು ಹಿಡಿದು
ಭಯದಿಂದ ಬದುಕಿದ
ಜನರೇ ಚರಿತ್ರೆಯ ದೊಡ್ಡತನ,
ಜೀವಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹುಡುಕಿ ಬದುಕಿದ
ಜನರೇ ಚರಿತ್ರೆಗೆ ದೊಡ್ಡತನ.

The wanderer

a. There must be a place that feels exactly like home, but not home. There must be a phrase that Sums up all the feel-good emotions that I so want to banter about. There must also be the warmth that I always needed. b. Every step I put requires the strength Of wanting. I wander. I get lost. I wander. I find. c. Every play has 3 parts to it. The beginning. Feels terrible. The interval. Realization and the urge to get closer. The end. Finding the familiarity. The more I get lost, the more I find a part within me that I barely knew existed.

Goya

Just the other day while standing under an abandoned building similar to my heart, when it was raining cats and dogs, a man ran towards the building seeking for shelter. As apparent it was, he was all drenched. Striking a conversation was never so easy with a complete stranger, until it down poured heavily. Because everyone does look for shelter just like seeking for their souls out of life and have got nothing but share stories. The particular story of the man standing right across me left me dumbstruck. You see, relatable stories. Crazy as it sounds, but the fact is stories are never unique, just the souls dealing with it are. In the end, we're all just mundane stories narrated with different lives. As simple as that.

Aadhar Card & Evolution- An Observation On Complex Systems

A couple of days back I was at an Aadhar Card Centre to get my details updated. While I was waiting for my turn, I was just observing the surroundings and just about so, I went into the rabbit hole of thinking about how the Aadhar Card as an idea must have originated. It must have started with a purpose that every citizen of India must have a unique number through which the person is identified. Sounds simple, right? While the idea is simple at its core, when implemented at scale it becomes extremely complicated- a complex system, if you will. Let me go down the rabbit hole even further and I will do that by making a conjecture, the conjecture being, that any Primitive Idea when it is scaled at large becomes a very complex system. And moreover, the same pattern can be observed everywhere, right from the formation of cities from an evolutionary biological standpoint to the present-day human behavior in society and whatnot! Let me explain what I mean. To implement the idea of assigning
