Daily scribble in Kannada

Needed

Be needed, not needy, and trust where you stand,
With all that you have, life unfolds as planned.
Do what you must with intent and grace,
Don’t merely exist and occupy space.

Make a living, let life thrive and bloom,
Find purpose in action, dispel all gloom.
Life’s aim is not merely to avoid the end,
But to live fully, be useful, and transcend.

Wheel of life

Why do you worry on this joy ride,
Afraid to lose the mask you hide?
Tired of screens, evading the light,
Or lacking courage to face the night?

There’s one Sun, the world depends,
He knows his path, his journey’s end.
You are one in billions, true,
Yet the world spins without you.

Remember, each cog in the wheel,
Is vital, its role surreal.
What you do here makes the way,
But worry not, seize the day.

Mother

She has no mind that’s hers alone,
Works with the thoughts the people own.

Good to the kind and to the flawed,
True goodness in her heart is awed.

Trusts those faithful, trusts those not,
True trust is what she’s always sought.

Her mind, like space, vast and clear,
Misunderstood, yet ever near.

In her wisdom, all confide,
She is understanding, far and wide.
