The Narc Jack - Not a fiction :)

ఒక నార్క్ నక్క

పంచతంత్రం కథ లోని నీలి గుంట నక్క మళ్ళీ జన్మెత్తింది...

పూర్వ జన్మ వాసనల వల్ల మళ్ళీ నీలి రంగు వేయించుకుందామని ఈసారి పార్లర్ కి బయలు దేరింది...

పార్లర్లో మరో నక్క బావ... ఆతోకాగ్రం మాలీషులూ సెంటు నలుగులూ పెట్టించుకుంటోంది...

పార్లర్లో పంచతంత్రం నక్కకి రంగు అద్దబోయిన ఆసిస్టెంటుని అర్థాంతరంగా ఆపేసింది నక్క బావ...

“నేను విడిది రోజుల్లో ఉన్నా... వారాంతం తర్వాత కలుద్దాం... అప్పటివరకూ కాస్త ఆగు” అని నక్క బావ పంచతంత్రం నక్కకి చెప్పింది...

తదుపరి వారం నక్క బావ రమ్మన్న వేటస్థలానికి వెళ్ళింది పంచతంత్రం నక్క...

నక్క బావ ఒంటినిండా నెత్తురోడుతూ బొరియ వద్ద ముడుచుకు పడుకుంది...

పంచతంత్రం నక్క పెదవి విప్పే సమయానికి సరిగ్గా ఒక లేడి కూన అల్లంత దూరానికి వచ్చింది...

“పరామర్శలు తర్వాత ముందు పొద చాటుకి తప్పుకో” అంది నక్క బావ...

అప్పుడప్పుడూ ముక్కుతూ ఆ తర్వాత మూలుగుతూ మెల్లగా లేడి కూనని తన చెంతకి రప్పించుకుంది నక్క బావ...

లేనిపోని ఆరాలతో అక్కర్లేని ఎంపతీతో నక్క బావ పంజాలో తన లేత పాదం మోపింది లేడి కూన..

పాదం చిక్కిన మరుక్షణం తన ముసుగులన్నీ విసిరేసింది నక్క బావ...

లేడికూన ముద్దు మాటలు, బేల చూపులు, అభ్యర్థనలూ దాని వెచ్చటి నెత్తుటి మడుగులోనే ఆవిరయ్యాయి...

గుట్టు చప్పుడు కాకుండా ఆనవాళ్ళన్నీ తుడిచేసుకుంది నక్క బావ...

గాలివాసనలకి పక్క నక్కలు పది వచ్చి చేరాయి...

లేవలేని తనమీద లేడి కూన దాడి చేసిందని చెప్పుకుంది నక్క బావ...

“అయ్యో! అది అంత పని చేసిందా!! అప్పుడే చెప్పాం ఆ లేడి కూనని నమ్మొద్దని విన్నావు కావు!” అని నక్క బావ కళ్ళు తుడిచి తోడు నిలిచాయి పక్క నక్కలు...

పది నక్కలూ కాస్త పక్కకి వెళ్ళాక ఒక్క గంతులో పంచతత్రం నక్క నక్కి ఉన్న చెట్టు చాటుకి వచ్చింది నక్క బావ...

“అర్థమయ్యింది అర్థమయ్యింది. కానీ మరి ఇందాకటి ఆ నెత్తుటి మరకలేమిటి?” అడిగింది పంచతంత్రం నక్క..

“ఓస్ అదా! అవి అంతకు ముందు వేట తాలూకూ ముస్తాబులు...” వెకిలిగా నవ్వింది నక్క బావ...

“అందుకే నిన్ను రమ్మన్నా.... ఈ మాత్రం ఎత్తులకి రంగులెందుకు చెప్పు.... వేట నెత్తురు ఉండగా పూత రంగులు ఎందుకోయ్? ‘వేటకి వేటే ఎర’ చాలదూ...” ముగించింది నక్క బావ...

“నిజమే... నువ్వే నా గురువు... ఇంతకీ నీ పేరేమిటో గురూ...” అడిగింది ఆరాధనగా అర్థమయ్యింది నక్క...

“నార్సిసిస్ట్ అంటార్లే నన్ను... పేరులో ఏముంది.... నా పధ్ధతి నేర్చుకో... పెద్దమనిషిలా బతుకుతావ్!!” అంది నక్క బావ.

The Narc Jack

The Blue Fox of the Panchatantra tale takes birth again...

Stirred by vasanas of his previous birth, the Fox heads over to a parlor to get him dyed in blue again...

In the parlor he sees a Fox Bro, getting pampered with perfumed massages and scented scrubs right from the tip of his tail to the tip of his snout...

As the parlor assistant steps into dye the Panchatantra Fox, this Fox Bro stops her from doing so...

“I am in my holidays, meet me after the weekend,” said the Fox Bro to the Panchatantra Fox …

The next week Panchatantra Fox went to the specified hunting ground to meet Fox Bro…

On arriving there Panchatantra Fox notices the Fox Bro lying victim by the burrow with blood smeared all over his body...

Just when the Panchatantra Fox begins to open up his lip to ask something, a Baby Doe jumped in nearby…

“Enquiries later! Go hide behind the bush!” said the Fox Bro in scurrying…

With occasional weaning and sympathetic wailing, the Wolf Bro attracts the Baby Doe to its side…

Out of unnecessary sympathy and unmatched empathy, the Baby Doe put her tiny foot in Fox Bro’s ‘paw’…

The moment he got hold of her tiny foot Fox Bro threw off his ‘decency’ masks…

The sweet little talks, the innocent looks, and the deepest appeals of the Baby Doe evaporated in her own warm pool of blood…

The Fox Bro mutely licked off all the traces…

The smell in the wind brought ten more other foxes to the Fox Bro...

“That crazy Baby Doe charged the vulnerable me!” spoke the Fox Bro shifting to his victim tone...

“O’ Poor bro! Did she do so!! We warned you of that doe earlier. Why do

you want to believe such anyway!?” saying the other foxes take his side…

Post the disperse of the pack of foxes, the Fox Bro hopped to the bush where the Panchatantram Fox is hiding and watching...

"Ok… now I understand what it is but what about the bloody stains seeming before?" asked the Panchatantram Fox …

"Oh, it’s the makeup from the previous hunt ..." Chortles the Fox Bro with a wily wink...

“That’s why I told you to come here today… Tell me now…. why you need extra dyes for simple ploys? ‘Remains of the previous hunt are enough prey for next hunt’” concluded the Fox Bro…

“True… True… You are my Guru now… By the way your name Guru….?” asked the Panchatantram Fox with a lot of devotion and adoration…

“Narcissist is what they call me… But what is it in a name... Follow my ways and Pose like a gentleman" said the Fox Bro!!!

ஒரு நார்க் நரி

பஞ்சதந்திரம் கதையில் வரும் நீல நிற குள்ள நரி மீண்டும் பிறவியெடுத்தது ...

பூர்வ ஜென்ம மிச்சத்தில் ஒர் எச்சத்தின் காரணமாக மீண்டும் நீல வண்ணம் பூசிக் கொள்ள ஒரு பார்லரை நோக்கி நகன்றது...

பார்லரில் மற்றொரு நரி மாமா வால்முதல் முகவாய் வரை வாசனை எண்ணெய் மாலிஷ்ஷிலும்,செம்பஞ்சு குழம்பு பூசலிலும் சொகுசாக படுத்திருந்தது...

பஞ்சதந்திரம் நரிக்கு நீல வண்ணம் பூச இருந்த சேடிப் பெண்ணை தடுத்து நிறுத்தி விட்டது நரி மாமா...

"நான் ஓய்வு நாட்களில் இருக்கிறேன் அடுத்த வாரம் நாம் சந்திப்போம் அதுவரை கொஞ்சம் பொறு" என்றது என்றது பஞ்சதந்திரம் நரியிடம் அந்த நரி மாமா...

அடுத்த வாரம் நரி மாமா சொன்ன வேட்டைவெளிக்கு சென்றது பஞ்சதந்திரம் நரி...

அங்கு உடலெங்கும் வடியும் இரத்தத்துடன் ஒடிந்து ஒடுங்கி அந்த நரி மாமா...

பஞ்சதந்திரம் நரி வாய் அசைப்பதற்க்குள் தொலைவில் இருந்து வந்து குதித்தது மான் குட்டி ஒன்று... 

"கேள்விகளெல்லாம் பிற்பாடு... புதருக்குப் பின் போய் நில் இப்போது" என்றது நரி மாமா...

அவ்வப்போது முனகியும்... விட்டு விட்டு புலம்பியும் மான் குட்டியை கவர்ந்திழ்ழுத்தது நரி மாமா...

தேவையற்ற கனிவுடனும் அவசியமற்ற பாசத்துடனும் அதிகபிரசங்கித்தனமாக நரி மாமாவின், நகங்கள் மறைக்கப் பட்ட பாததில் தனது பிஞ்சு பாததை பதித்தது மான் குட்டி...

பிஞ்சு பாதம் கிடைத்த தொட்ட நொடியில் போர்த்தி வைத்திருந்த பொய் மூடிகளை தூக்கியெறிந்தது நரி மாமா...

மான் குட்டியின் முத்துப் பேச்சும் மிரண்ட விழியும் வேண்டு கோளும் அதன் உதிரக்குளத்திலேயே ஊசலாடி கரைந்தன...

கண் இமைக்கும் நேரத்தில் தடயங்களை எல்லாம் ஏப்ப்ம் விட்டது நரி மாமா...

காற்றில் கசிந்த செய்தியை தொடர்ந்து பத்து ஓநாய்கள் பதறியடித்து வந்து சூழ்ந்தன...

சக்தியற்ற தன்னை மான் குஞ்சு தாக்கி சாய்த்ததென்று பரிதாபமாக ஊளையிட்டது நரி மாமா…

“அய்யோ அப்படியா அது செய்துவிட்டது!! அப்பவே சொல்லவில்லயா அந்த மான் குஞ்சை நம்பாதே என்று... நீதான் கேட்கவில்லையே! நல்லவர்கள் நாமிருக்க இனி உனக்கு ஏது பயம்?" என்று நரி மாமாவின் கண் துடைத்து உறுதுணையாய் நின்றது நரி கூட்டம்…

நரி கூட்டம் சற்று ஒதுங்கியவுடனே ஒரே தாவலில் பஞ்சதந்திரம் நரி ஒளிந்திருக்கும் புதரின் பின் வந்து நின்றது நரி மாமா...

"நன்றாக புரிந்து கொண்டேன். ஆனால் இதற்க்கு முன் உன் உடம்பில் தோன்றிய இரத்த கசிவு...." புரியாமல் இழுத்தது பஞ்சதந்திரம் நரி...

"ஓ!! அதுவா அட, அது முதல் வேட்டையின் மிச்சங்கள் அடுத்த வேட்டைக்கு போடும் வலைகள்" கோணலாக இளித்தது நரி மாமா...

“இதற்க்குத் தானே உன்னை இங்கு வரச்சொன்னேன். சிறு சூழ்ச்சிக்கு பெரு வண்ணங்களேன்? முதல் வேட்டையின் உதிரமிருக்க நீல வண்ணமேன்? ‘வேட்டைக்கு பொரி வேட்டையன்றோ!’....” என பாடத்தை முடித்தது நரி மாமா...

"உண்மை ... உண்மை… இனி நீதான் என் குரு... உன் பெயரென்னவோ குரூ..." வினவியது பஞ்சதந்திரம் நரி...

"நார்சிஸிஸ்ட் என்றழைப்பார்கள் என்னை ... பெயரல்ல பெரிது... என் வழியை பயின்றுவா சிறிது .... பெரிய மனிதனைப் போல் வாழ" என்றது நரி மாமா...!!!

Philosophy of a Human Doll.

The other day a friend of mine asked me “When are you going to lose your weight?”

This question comes, after me losing oodles of weight of late. The friend was feeling very sorry for me for carrying 58 kilos of weight around!!

More or less a couple of years ago, my best friend told me “Aw!! I am scared to see your DP (What’s App) and am running away.”

Do you really expect that from your ‘best’ friend? Isn’t it way too rude??

More than a decade ago, a friend was reporting me, amidst few other friends about how she nearly choked to see me so heavy, with all my weight (might be 60 kilos then).

Like, really??!!

A friend, colleague, relative or anyone may criticize. Here I am not going to say that, “People criticize you because they are threatened by your competency, charm etc.” Okay.

I am also not going to say that “They are struggling to get attention for what they are short of and so they will end up whining.” Alright. 

Also, I will not say that “When they can’t do with whining anymore, they rush to spread 'out of the blue' news about you and will try to act hating you.”

I don't judge!!!!

I am here to tell you only this!! This is my philosophy!!

I don’t store opinions. Stout, thin, beautiful, ugly, bald, bushy, tall, short, fair, dark, clever, moron, smart, innocent, good, bad……… these are just the beliefs in this brief Shelf Life. Sooner or later this doll will be replaced with another form.

The purpose of my Shelf Life is not to become more than what I AM.

Nothing needed to be added or removed or improved. I have a Manufacturer.

Look at me. You are looking at the utter PERFECTION. Vice versa.

I AM an everlastingly Perfect Human Doll!!!

Thank You, Love!

Shaila

Oh Beloved

Go on dancing Oh beloved

Quenching the thirst of thorns!

Allow your petal feet to rain

A thousand suns that shine!

Unfold your wings to the fullest Oh beloved

Unwinding woven walls possibly unseen!

Bring your ruby heart come into sight

Be it shimmer inside the eternal light!

Soar above the highest spaces Oh beloved

Tapping the flaccid dreams perching amid the planets!

Hover in the nest of nothing My love!

Décor the Diamond as you discover! 

Thank You. Love.

Shaila 

Same!!

May be you are not new

May be you are not old

You are ever so Fresh!

May be you are the nights

May be you are the suns

You are the Illuminating Darkness!!

May be you are here in me

May be you are in the parallel spaces

You are all the very Same!!!

Thank You. Love.

REALITY RAMP

Hello Namaste, It’s a bit long time since I met all my beautiful friends on this platform. I couldn’t make it for a while as I am little busy preparing for a Beauty Pageant. Now I am here to extend an invitation to you all to participate in the show. Join the show with me because no one will be announced as the loser. So join with me and let’s all walk around with beautiful CORONETS.  

The few things that set our preparation are:

Losing extra POUNDS. Swallowing some CONCOCTION. Applying some CREAMS. Getting some PEELING.

Oh, I got to tell you… This is an INNER BEAUTY PAGEANT!

Pride and Personal Perceptions, Egoistic Obsessions are like too many costumes and too much makeup that weigh you down when you walk on the ramp. Lose those extra POUNDS.

Acceptance is a bitter concoction to the mind but it’s a sweet pill to the heart. Accept your faults, accept the uncertainties. Swallow the CONCOCTION to detox your mind.

Heal your Intellect Pimples from persistently oozing out judging, blaming and erupting more and more hard stuff. Apply CREAMS of Sensitivity, Compassion and Pure Love to burst the pimples.

This is the time to get rid of the Unreal layers, false projections. Go for a PEELING. Get real with yourself. Show your true skin. Let the beauty radiate through your soul as it does.

We are good for the show!!

Checklist prior to the RAMP WALK:

Do you love yourself for what you do?

Are you really honest for how you are?

Are you truthful for you?

Are you sure you are OUT OF YOUR MIND to walk a hearty walk?

While on the RAMP:

Remember or imagine nothing when you walk on the ramp.

People may tell you how to walk your WALK. Don’t listen. They don’t walk how they want you to walk.

Don’t wait for someone to cheer you up. You are the cheerleader for yourself.

Let the paparazzi save on their filters now, they don’t necessarily have to use FILTERS on you anymore.

You are not competing with anyone. Not even with you. You are just walking the Truth.

Walk in your broken stiletto rather you walk in others’ shoes. Coz it’s the most beautiful walk.

Thank You! Love!!

Thank you Rama manni. Visiting you helped me to experience some thoughts.

7D

 

Last Sunday I happened to see a 7D cinema.

You know what is.

It’s a 7-dimensional virtual reality or a sensory experience. You are sitting on a Simulator Platform with your special glasses on, and it jerks and quakes you to get you in sync with the active screen. Strange physical, visual and sound effects kick in to make the movie more real.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the movie. Later I know it’s just a thought experiment, which is turning into a cliché.

Lights off! CINEMA On!!

7D CINEMA is a system that connects your ‘personal self’ to the ‘virtual as well as physical consciousnesses’ from where all your perceptions and distortions spurt up. You are putting yourself in a condition, in a limitation. Your Ego is on autopilot with a temporary belief. You are in the high of your “mind”.

7D is a system that pokes, blows and sprays realities around you based on your own fears, expectations, stress, thoughts, insecurities, emotions etc. The idea is to cut back your heart and project your mind so as to pull you away from your ‘self’. You are aware that you are not traveling anywhere, you are not dealing with anybody. But you prefer to “be” in the movie.

The movie exists only now as a part of a simulation. And you know where to exit and where to stay.

Lights On! CINEMA Off!!

You, as every other audience in the room, are just watching the movie. Now you have removed your special glasses and leaving your platform.

‘You’ are separated for about ten minutes from your ‘True Self’ to these transient distortions. Time to CONNECT with ‘you’ again!!

This is just a 7D CINEMA.

Thank You! Love!!

Be the best SNIPER

This is about zeroing in the ‘Living Life’ error on my Life scope to ‘Being Life’ for a long range Self trajectory.

Here is a checklist to get rid of my parallax errors to send the ‘persona’ flying:

1.   Chamber the ammo of Truth.

Chamber the firearm only with the Truth Ammo.

No compromise in that.

Fake the Ammo and it fires back.

2.   Wear protection.

Wear ear muffs for old techniques which try to tell you… “How to win”, “How to gains”.

Those are the ‘live life’ techniques that hinder you from being life.

Wear eye gear for the world which wants to see you in the way it picks you out.

3.   Be patient to take out every potential error.

            Stop telling the mugged up grouping stories for the nth time.

Don’t rely on the conceived convictions. Ranges and temperments vary.

You don’t require a spotter to differentiate you in anyway.

4.   Set your MOA to zero.

Take out the arrogant angles of ‘I Know’ and ‘I don’t like’.

Eliminate the attitude angles of ‘I am this’ and ‘You know what’.

Set the Minutes of Arrogance/Attitude to zero.

Multiply the ‘being’. Minimize the ‘person’ hood.

5.   Loosen your knobs and align

Set the elevation dial on rotation. Check it time and again from flipping.

Loosen the resistance. Flow your rotations to align with the center line.

Fix the eye on the target. Not on the ‘landmarks’.

Aim High and Hold Over. Let the eye not to lose the scope.

Pin your crosshairs on the target. Stay grounded to the position.

6.   Breathe in and exhale

Accept what the stimuli offer you.

Exhale the need to control.

Exhale the rehearsals to demonstrate your best performance.

Be you. Don’t behave.

Don’t tug in the trigger. Put sensitivity in pulling the trigger or you may throw off your shot.

7.   Be the best sniper

Don’t talk ‘theories’. Be the one.

Don’t fake the talk. Feel.

Don’t feel from the attic. Feel from the core.

Be your own search engine to know what you are.

Shun your practices to live life. Soak in your nature. You are life already.

Let your Truth Ammo cause a wider collateral impact.

Thank You. Love!!!

Shaila.
