ಮೊನ್ನೆ MAY 11 ಮೈಸೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಆಲಿಕಲ್ಲು ಮಳೆ ಬಂದಿತ್ತು...
ನಾನು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕೆಲಸ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಆಲಿಕಲ್ಲು ಹೆಕ್ಕಲು ಓಡಿಹೊಗಿದ್ದೆ.ಮಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವು ಕೊಲೀಗ್ಸ್ ಜೊತೆ ನೆನೆದೆ.ತುಂಬ ಜನ ಆಫೀಸ್ ಗಾಜಿಗೆ ಮುಖ ಒಡ್ಡಿ ನಿಂತಾಗ,ಮೊಬೈಲಿಗೆ,ಮೊಬೈಲಿನ ಕ್ಯಾಮರಕ್ಕೆ ಕೆಲಸ ಕೊಟ್ಟು ನಿಂತಾಗ ನಾನು ಆಲಿಕಲ್ಲು ಹೆಕ್ಕಲು ಓಡಿಹೊಗಿದ್ದು ತಮಾಷೆ ಎನ್ನಿಸಬಹುದು ...ನಾನು ೩ನೇ ಕ್ಲಾಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದಾಗ ಊರಲ್ಲಿ ಆಲಿಕಲ್ಲು ಮಳೆ ಬಂದಿತ್ತು...ಆವತ್ತೂ ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ತಮ್ಮನ ಜೊತೆ ಆಲಿಕಲ್ಲು ಹೆಕ್ಕಲು ಓಡಿಹೊಗಿದ್ದೆ..ಆ ದಿನ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪ್ಪ ಕೋಲು ಮಿಠಾಯಿ (ಪೆಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ನಾಮಕರಣ)ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದರು..ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಎನೋ ಆ ನೆನಪು.. ಅದರೆ ಆ ಸಂತಸ ಬೇರೆ ಯಾವುದರಲ್ಲು ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ...ಸಿಗಲಿಕ್ಕು ಸಾಧ್ಯ ಇಲ್ಲ್ಲ. ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಸಂತಸಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲೊ ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಾನೆ ಆದರೆ ತನ್ನ ಸುತ್ತಮುತ್ತಲಿನ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಚಿಕ್ಕವಿಷಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂತಸ ಹುಡುಕುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಚಿಕ್ಕವಿಷಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿನ ಸಂತಸ ಧೀರ್ಘಕಾಲದ ತನಕ ಅವನ ನೆನಪಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ...
ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ತಾನೆ Ramona L. Anderson ಹೇಳಿರೋದು....
" People spend a lifetime
searching for happiness; looking for peace.
They chase idle dreams, addictions,
religions, even other people,
hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them.
The irony is that
the only place they ever needed to search
was within themselves"
ಇದೆಲ್ಲ ಆಲಿಕಲ್ಲು ಮಳೆ ಬಂದು ನಿಂತ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಂದ ನೆನಪಿನ ಮಳೆ ಕೊಚ್ಚಿ ತಂದ ರಾಡಿ...ಸುಮ್ನೆ ಎನೋ ಬರಿಯೋಣ ಅಂತ ಅನ್ನಿಸ್ತು ಬರೆದೆ.

Stock Market Funda
Once upon a time in a village a man appeared who announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs. 10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys went out in the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at 10 and as supply started to diminish and villagers started to stop their effort he announced that now he would buy at 20 rupees.
This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching moneys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to 25 and the supply of monkeys became so that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at 50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business his assistant would now buy on behalf of the man.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at 35 and when the man comes back you can sell it to him for 50."
The villagers queued up with all their saving to buy the monkeys.
Phir na woh aadmi mila, aur na us ka assistant........... Sirf bandar heebandar.....
