ಬ್ರಷ್ಟ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವ?

ಪ್ರಜಾ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವವೆಂದರೆ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳಿಂದ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳು ನಡೆಸುವ ಸರಕಾರ ಎಂದು ನಾವೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕನ್ನಡ ಶಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಲಿತಿದ್ದೆವು. ಈಗ ಅದೆಲ್ಲ old school. ಪ್ರಜಾ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದ ಹೊಸ ಪರಿಭಾಷೆಯೆಂದರೆ

ಬ್ರಷ್ಟರಿಂದ ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾಗಿ ಬ್ರಷ್ಟರಿಗಾಗಿ ಬ್ರಷ್ಟರು ನಡೆಸುವ ಸರಕಾರವೇ ಪ್ರಜಾ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವ ಅಥವಾ ಬ್ರಷ್ಟ ಪ್ರಭುತ್ವ 

Cliches aside, I saw in today's newspaper that chief election officer has stated that taking money for vote is an offense. But what about buying vote? Is it not an offense?

  We citizens will supply them with names of candidates who are giving money. Will the honorable government  punish the politicians who are giving money for their votes? Or will the election commission cancel their candidature for this election?

Someshwara shataka

ಚರಿಪಾರಣ್ಯದ ಪಕ್ಷಿಗೊಂದು ತರು ಗೊಡ್ಢಾಗಲ್ ಫಲಂ ಈವಿದಾ ಮರಗಳ್ ಪುಟ್ಟವೆ ಪುಷ್ಪವೊಂದು ಬಳಲಲ್  ಭ್ರಂಗಕ್ಕೆ ಪೂವಿಲ್ಲವೆ ನಿರತಂ ಸತ್ಕವಿಗೋರ್ವ ಗರ್ವಿದಂ ನೃಪ ತಾಂ ಲೋಭಿಯಾಗಲ್ ನಿಜಂ ಧರೆಯೊಳ್ ದಾತರು ಪುಟ್ಟರೆ ಹರ ಹರಾ ಶ್ರೀ ಚೆನ್ನ ಸೋಮೇಶ್ವರ Will a bird in the wild go hungry just because one fruit tree dries up? If one flower withers, will not the bee get any flowers? If one haughty king is miserly, will there be no patrons (of poetry) on this earth? ಕೆಲವಂ ಬಲ್ಲವರಿಂದ ಕಲ್ತು ಕೆಲವಂ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಂಗಳೋದುತಂ ಕೆಲವಂ ಮಾಳ್ಪವರಿಂದ ಕಂಡು ಕೆಲವಂ ಸುಜ್ಙಾನದಿಂ  ನೋಡುತಂ ಕೆಲವಂ ಸಜ್ಜನಸಂಗದಿಂದಲರಿಯಲ್ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞನಪ್ಪಂ ನರಂ ಪಲವಂ ಪಳ್ಳ ಸಮುದ್ರವೈ ಹಾರ ಹರಾ ಶ್ರೀ ಚೆನ್ನ ಸೋಮೇಶ್ವರ Learning from wise men, reading from good books, observing others  work and learning from good company, these are the ways a man becomes omni-scient (sarvajna - one who knows everything).

Bharatha - 2. UrdhvaRoma

Yankatte was my mother's aunt and she was widowed in childhood. She would spend some time in my granny's house and some time in her husband's house. She would tell us all beautiful stories. UrdhvaRoma was a son of Arjuna (I think. Or may be Bhima's son. I don't remember clearly. ) He was living in the forest. One day when he was practicing archery, Arjuna and Krishna were passing by. Krishna indicated Arjuna to hide and watch. This boy shot an arrow to a large tree. And all the leaves of the tree fell down except for 5 and a half leaves. Krishna and Arjuna came forward and asked him what was all this about. The boy told " After few years there wi...
