Manada Kadalu (ಮನದ ಕಡಲು)

When the blue sea

Welcomes with open arms

The river runs towards it

to hug and feel the warmth!

When the clouds listen to the sound of the breath of waves

The ocean of heart is rising due to moonlit souls!

This is a lullaby of love from the bottom of the heart!

The tune has brought a cool breeze and peace!

Due to the impact of emotions

yearning waves into the heart

this tiny sized heart

has emerged into ocean

There is a union in dreams

now memories are just for joy

There is nothing much left to say

Love has smitten

Someone meets someone somewhere

when they exchange a smile

the heart is immersed in joy.

When this is the case

Even while smiling, the moon appears to be scared!

The ocean of heart is rising due to the pains of separation!

This is a lullaby of love from the bottom of the heart!

The tune has brought a cool breeze and peace!

Sumukha

My name is Sumukha.

I am fond of imagining myself as King Pashchima.

King Pashchima was mighty!

He ruled the entire coast.

Here you are Manjayya,

The King Pashchima has arrived!

Death unto you

The kingdom is mine!

King Pashchima had two wives.

Phalguni Girija

I am the emperor of the West.

I have not spared any of my enemies.

Doctor,

The emperor wants her to live.

She has to live.

I don’t wish for anything else.

I want neither my kingdom nor the glory.

This sword has killed many warriors.

I renounce this.

She has to live, doctor.

Please cure her ailment.

I don’t wish for anything else.

I beg you.

Alright.

Let it happen as per nature's wish.

That was the story of King Pashchima.

Now, it is time for my story.

I was born in Mysuru.

My father was a doctor.

He was popular for his medicines.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth

My mother was running a day-care center.

She was popular for her food.

Open your mouth.

My friend - Suraj.

The compounder for my dad.

He was famous for his hand job.

My house was located near the river bed of Kaveri.

I have swam in Kaveri.

Hi.

I am the only son to my parents.

My dad is a doctor.

So, I was sent to Karavali college to do MBBS.

I scored well and passed the first, the second and the third year.

During my final year of studies,

I lost hopes and love on MBBS, all of a sudden.

Because

From the day of its birth, till the darkness of its death,

Heart keeps working for the practical reason of life. - Ramanna

A heart beats just for you in your lifetime.

Do you know whose heart that is?

Huh?

Yours!

67.

Ramanna! Ramanna!

Get up! Ramanna!

Pick him up. Carry him.

Ramanna! Ramanna!

Sir, shall we call a doctor?

Hey, aren’t we all doctors here?

- Sorry sir. - Sumukha, handle this.

Ramanna! Please get up.

Doctor! Please check.

Doctor, please hurry up.

Ramanna!

Sorry!

Ramanna!

So many doctors here.

We teach why are born, Why we die!

The learners and the teachers - together could not save a life today!

This course of study is a waste!

The world does not require a doctor.

This scanning machine, this hospital,

This medical store,

nothing is required, sir.

The illness is increasing because of these.

Do the lions and the tigers brush their teeth?

Do they visit a hospital complaining of an illness?

Do the plants consume tablets?

No, right?

Why do we need doctors?

We don’t need them!

This course of study is a waste!

I don’t want this.

Ramanna!

I am going.

Damn it.

It is a waste course.

I don’t want it. I am leaving this.

You guys also join me,

Come, come Let’s go, let’s go.

Come!

You can leave if you want.

Damn it!

I am remembering the attender Ramanna’s death today

During my death!

Death is very big.

But life is bigger.

Hey, the college is falling down.

Hey!

Why the hell should we come to this college?

You are wasting your time.

Don’t go to college.

It is a bloody waste of time.

I don’t want this.

I did not go home after I left college.

I was teaching English through Kannada to Ramanna’s children.

“Raamanu kaaDige hOdanu” means Rama goes to the forest.

Crazy times! I learnt rock climbing.

I was sitting at the sea shore just to watch the sunset

I used to swim.

After three months, my parents came to know about me

and came looking for me.

The young chap who ran away from the course!

Sumukha!

Brother will not come. He is fighting with the ocean.

Hey, come out.

I won’t come, dad.

Alright. But why did you leave the course?

The courses are meant to be left, dad.

- Well said! - Bloody!

Be it college or classroom, I hate them.

What about the bathroom?

Hmmm!

You have scored well for three years.

Why are you acting like this in the final year?

I want to talk to Sun.

You all please leave.

Hey, go home!

Should I instruct you about your daily task?

Go home!

This is not an ordinary disease.

What is wrong with him?

I was clueless about myself.

I didn't even know what I wanted.

A boy would want only one thing in his prime.

A girl.

I realized that nothing else matters when...

...I saw Rashika.

Yes.

Rashika.

It seems that there should be a goal in life.

Rashika became the goal of my life.

Rashika.

Today,

I am drowning for her sake.

I thought that I would want her even if I had died.

If there is anything that I want more than my life,

it was Rashika.

The waves are very rough.

Come out fast.

There is too much current.

At this moment, there is nothing dangerous more than you.

My fuse broke down due to your current.

Huh! What?

You heard!

I heard.

But I did not understand.

Oh!

More beauty, less brains!

This is the generation.

It is normal.

There is no need for any medicine for this.

If we keep chatting like this,

you will be alright.

What do you say?

Hello!

Enough.

Can’t you see?

The ocean is very rough.

- Huh! - Let’s go.

I am also very tough.

Come. Please.

Hey, look there!
