O destination where are you?

Where am I heading?

To set no roots for this spirit

I wonder, forget about this world and get dissolve

O destination where are you?

Hundreds of crossroads here

Why the knife called memories stab so often?

I came to this fair in search of myself

O destination where are you?

Where am I heading?

O destination where are you?

Where am I heading?

Come down come

What is the time now?

8:50!

9 to 6 you have to take pictures in your digital cameras in 36 frames

No preview and should not delete them, if it is not good

Because you need to know what mistakes you make

During this period you should not talk to each other

No chatting and no WhatsApp

Every frame you compose is to learn and not to impress others

Got it?

Sure Sir Okay Sir

What are you doing?

Not getting the focus point Sir

Now?

Got it? Yes Sir

Do not shake too much Okay Sir

Only photography has the power to capture the running time

Group became useful today

Shamanth! Dubai?!

Hi Girish, how are you?

Say Hi after getting married and having kids

You used to ignore me in school days!

Hey, he is her husband!

Sir, you don’t get tensed! She is a very good girl

Good nature She used to help a lot

She used to help us cheat in exam Isn’t it dude?!

What?!

I asked you to come near Nammoora tindi

And take left in second cross but you took right?

No no no, I can’t tell you the route that way

You come back to Nammoora tindi

Call me from there and I'll guide you from there

Okay! Now cut the call

Hey hello Hey who is that?

Hey you! Stick!

What is this? Are we school kids?

Why are you getting upset?

Hey go and talk to them

Go and welcome others

Where is he? How long to wait?

Will he at least come by lunch time?

I have already called him thrice

He said he will hit me over phone if I call him once again!

But still I took risk and called him again

Don’t know, what he is going to do when he comes!

Is that Gulaab Jamoon?

No, crow’s egg!

Will you have it? Take!

Hey guys leave me, stop it

One... two... three

Did anybody read the stupid poetry posted by him in Facebook recently?

No dude No man

Oh! Geetha!

Hey leave him!

It is such a worst poem

“Geetha! Did you really want this!

Did you forget the kiss I gave? Why did you come again?"

Such a worst poem he has written!

Hey leave me I am old now. Leave me

Not that circle. First come to Nammoora Tindi and call me

Call me from there Now cut the call

No one can stop the time

From me to you From you to me

No one can break us apart

Whom did you imagine while kissing me?

Forget it, your Tavarige Baa Tangi part two, look behind

Where? See there

There is some burnt smell right?!

Oh this was burnt is it! That’s what I thought!

My daughter in law when are you making an entry?

Daughter-in-law?

It is like crocheting a sheet before the baby is born

What if it is a boy?

No, it will be a girl baby

Because I have prayed to God

I will get your husband’s head shaved if it is a girl baby

Yes you will

Now have this

Come on Harsha Come on Ram

Ram Ram!

Say cheese!

You travel a lot even I like to travel

If you keep conceiving every year how can you travel?

Murali

Let the one hungry have food

I have told the address to four people

Three people are on the way, wait

Then who is the fourth one?

Tell me who it is

I am asking you only!

Why is he acting like this!

Look at him he is creating a scene

She is asking you Who is that?

Ram

Jaanu is also coming

Dew drop is asking me to smile

Wind is asking me to rejoice today

Dew drop is asking me to smile

For us Jaanu means song!

But for Jaanu singing was everything to her!

She either used to sing or spoke something about songs

Tune, rhythmic cycle and meter was all that she spoke

And we understood nothing

Before Janaki was born

Her parents decided to name Balasubramanyam if it was a boy

And Janaki if it was a girl

Since she was named after S Janaki She used to sing only her songs

Except for one

Victory to you Mother Karnataka

the daughter of Mother India!

While listening to songs in tape-recorder

It used to feel like Janu singing

And remembered her face

And even she knew that

I liked Janu and Janu’s singing to that extreme

She’s the reason for my 90 percent attendance

We studied together even before we learnt to hold a pencil

Since then, I listened to whatever she said

She used to ask me if she needed anything

Nobody cared me if I scored low and got scoldings from my family

But when Jaanu used to ask "why what happened!"

I would forget everything and be happy!

I would feel like calling someone and hitting them

I don’t know how to explain Jaanu

But whenever I visited a temple all I prayed was

“God, keep Jaanu with me all the time”

You think I will be dreaming till then?

You will be together Don’t you know that much?

Even I will be with you right? How will I know?

Can’t you get to know?

Do I need to know to print it in a newspaper?!

I enquired Jaanu’s house address

If you cross the temple and go further, it is somewhere there

Let’s check while going back home

Somewhere here

Shall we leave?

It is getting dark Mom will scold me If I go late

She will come on Monday anyhow

Why are you late?

Had a special class

Go on

Bell rang Go now

Get going

Hey Jaanu came!

Hey Jaanu

I saw Jaanu after four days

If she wasn’t ill and normal as usual

But I couldn’t move an inch that day

Something stopped me

Everyone enquired her except me

But deep down I wanted to hold her hand and ask why she didn’t come for many days

And wanted to tell her how much I missed her

But I couldn’t

You look so tired! You could have taken rest for few more days

Shubha, take care of her Okay Sir

Then, I didn’t understand what was that feel

But, that's my first love

I dint know what was happening in me

I was happy deep inside

Kind of butterfly effect

I was twirling my peach moustache

After that, I couldn’t talk normally to Jaanu

Was feeling kind of shy

I used to hid myself whenever she looked at me

But I couldn’t resist myself from sharing this with Shubha

Everything happened in eye signals

I thought nobody will notice

But, somehow Giri came to know about it

If he comes to know even Murali will know it

How?

Don’t deviate from studies by thinking other things. Okay?

Do you have anything to say to me?

Are you scared?

Okay then

shall I leave?

Did he tell you? Did you express?

Silence

Jaanaki, come here

Ask her to sing Akashadeepa

Jaanu

He wants you to sing Akashadeepa

The emotion of desires and the loved one have come together

New trance has emerged

The emotion of desires and the loved one have come together

He asked so much, why didn’t you sing Akashadeepa for him?

Brother has taken your geometry box he will return it only if you sing for him

I do not know what’s special about that song!

He is requesting you why don't you sing?

Janaki

Ms Janaki,on fans demand

Sing Akashadeepa song from Paavanaganga movie

Mr. Murali, this is not Ganesha festival’s orchestra

To request the song in a chit passed by third person

Got it?!

What did she say? Will she sing?

Just wait and see she will sing some other song

Oh noble man

I have no words to describe you

I have no words

Oh noble man

I have no words to describe you

I have no words

Hi happy birthday Thank you

Why are you sweating like this?

What did anybody do to you?

Hey, my brother is a sports man So he will be practicing running

Isn’t it?!

You have a heavy heartbeat!

What?

You inspect it once

Bring water

You will lose respect if you cant speak in front of a girl

Even Shubha didn’t understand how Jaanu’s touch made me go faint

Even Jaanu didn’t understand why someone liked her so much

But, I being 9th standard Ramachandra Tirthahalli, had no doubts

Like a straight line drawn using a scale My attention was always on Jaanu

You know what will be Janaki’s name after marriage?

What?

Janaki Ramachandra

Hey, Jaanu

Nothing, you go on

Somehow, like blowing wind and flowing water my life went on

Ramachandra, there is two months holiday

how will you spend days without seeing me?

Hey Jaanu come fast

How long will you address her informally?

Don’t you know?

You can call her sister-in-law right?

Isn’t it dude?

I know! You need not tell me that

Let’s go

Hey you too come Ya coming

Shall I leave?

Do not forget this!

Happy holidays

How do you know that she is coming?

Who knows!

You know how many calls and texts I made in last week?!

Not even a single reply

I thought she might not come

Then?

Then I saw a message in the morning Saying “I am coming”

Then why didn’t you tell me?

Hey, how will I know?

That she will be coming here from Singapore for this?

I thought let me see when she comes

Why is he behaving like a high school kid?

So they sold their grandfather’s house

Without informing anybody they left to Bangalore over night

Apart from this nobody knows anything

When Sun leaves the sky for no reason

Look O lord of Earth!

You left this poor soul in the middle of no where

Leaving agony behind

Before you go far away Tell me the reason

Hey, Murali, I think we joined the connection that got cut in the school

I too feel the same

Nothing will go wrong right?

I am not thinking about it Then?

If something happens between them

If her husband who is in Singapore, comes to know

If he beats us both with boots who organised all this

It will be our Sankranti

It will be our Ugadi

It will be our Deepavali

You be quiet

What if anybody sees?!

Will you tell me or not?

You think you can convince me somehow?

What do you want to know?

Answer my question

Come, I will tell you in car

Come

Come here

Tell me now

Okay, I will tell you

God promise?

Jaanu, do we promise for all these?

Don’t I know about you?

Swear on me

Yes, I am a virgin

Bloody you!

See you asked me and I told you, leave it

Why?

Because I am a devotee of Hanuman and I have an ex voto

How can you?

See, I am telling you drop the topic

I am feeling shy I am feeling puppy shame

I told you Drop it

Okay forget it

Didn’t you love anybody in these years?

No, I can’t say that

I thought so

The truth will come out

Tell me

What?

Girls like your kind of guys

How did they miss you?

My type? Yes!

My type, in the sense?

You are so handsome Didn’t anybody tell you this?

Enough of blushing Now come to the story

There was a girl called Bharati in our college

My junior

I didn’t know that during college days

Later one day she suddenly called me

She said she wants to talk to me

I said yes

While talking she said her parents looking for a match

Then I said, okay all the best and congratulated her

She suddenly got angry

She got angry and after sometime

She said "I will talk to my mother if you agree"

What did you say for that? What will I say?

That’s what what did you say?

Even if I said, I am not earning and not settled

I dint feel like she would leave me so I told her the truth

What did you say?

I told her about you

She was quiet for a while

Then she took a deep breathe and cut the call

She gave me an invitation card after few days

Please forget whatever happened

Please attend the marriage I’ll be expecting you

Did you attend?

No, I didn’t

She is the one who liked me

I thought she might get upset So I didn’t go

Why did you go without telling me that day?

And you didn’t even come to see me

I didn’t understand anything

Without you studies seemed pointless

Passing PUC was a big thing

I passed out degree in fear of parents will get me married

Whenever I met school friends

I used to expect them tell me about you

I have mistaken many people for you so many times

Moreover, sister had a run away marriage

Within two months parents started looking for alliance

For my sister’s act I couldn’t speak with dad

Even if I would, what would I say?

I am in love with a guy since high school days

And I don’t know where he is

But even on my wedding day I felt you would somehow come

But if I tell all that now it feels weird

Even when I was about to get knotted

My heart said you are somewhere here

Even while getting knotted

Like they do in cinemas

I believed you will come surprisingly and ask my hand

Nothing happened such

Wedding took place

And my heart broke after that

Whenever I feel low

All that comes to my mind is that high school Ramachandra Theerthahalli

Sir, time’s up if you take out the vehicle, I will close the gate

Sorry Ram

I was waiting to tell you all these when we meet

With whom can I share all this?

Do not think I am telling this to hurt you. Okay?

Nothing like that

I came near your college to see you

Sent your name written on a paper

Are you not aware of all this?

When did you come?

Do not lie Ram

No Jaanu I had really come

Really Ram?

Excuse me

Hey tell her dude

Second year BSc computer science Jaanu

Can you call S Janaki?

I need to talk to her

Is it love matter?

Nothing like that sister

They liked each other since school days

There was a gap in between

It’s a ladies college Or else we would have came in

We have come all the way from Bengaluru for this

You have come for this all the way from Bengaluru?

Yes sister, we grew up studying together

I pity you both

I will help you

I won’t get into any problem, right?

Not at all sister We will just talk to her and leave

What is her name?

S Janaki

Give me your book

Write her father’s name along with her name

Many girls will be in this college with the same name

You go to class I will come

Okay then

What is your name?

Ramachandra N Teerrthahalli

Excuse me

Janaki Nagaraj

Yes it is me

There is a guy near the gate waiting for you

Are you a messenger?

Is this why you come to college?

Tell me if you are not interested in studies

I will talk to principal and get you TC

I’ll teach you a lesson If you come again as a messenger

She saw you and scolded me very badly

It would be nice if you talk to her directly

Sister Tell me

Can you do me one last favour?

What’s that?

Tell her that I wont disturb her anymore

Wait, why do you over react?!

Will talk to her when she comes out

No need

Anything might have happened in four years

Come let’s go

Listen to me

I forgot to ask your name

Geetha

Thanks Geetha

What is the room number of the person who came just now

216 Sir Thank you

Jaanu! Do not come in

No I am here only

Jaanu are you okay?

I didn’t see you that day

Jaanu

Jaanu

Do not cry Please

Jaanu please

Please Jaanu don't cry

Do not cry please

I did not see

I really did not see you

I promise

I did not see you

I swear Ram

I swear Jaanu

Excuse me

Janaki Nagaraj? Yes it’s me

A guy is waiting for you near the gate

Are you a messenger?

You come to college for this?

Tell me if you are not interested in studies

I will talk to principal and get your TC

I’ll teach you a lesson If you come again as a messenger

Why did this happen Ram?

Even you because of me

How can I think you don’t like me?

No matter what, I should have met you that day

I hurried

It is all my fault

If that girlm entioned your name that day Everything would have changed

Everything would have changed

It is all my fate

But why we had to know this truth now?

We could have believed that that was the truth

But I wouldn’t have come to know that you lived in my memories and you came in search of me

One more pain added to my list

How come?!

What made you want to express after four years which you didn’t when we were together

Everyday I felt like expressing

But I was kind of hesitating

I am not as intelligent as Jaanu I cant sing like Jaanu

So I never dared

Don’t know what happened that day

I felt like I might die if I don’t express today

So I made my mind Came to your college that day

By the way I wanted to ask you

How did you know that I studied in that college?

Is this a question? I somehow got to know

That is what! How?

You were in Bengaluru right?

I assigned boys over there

I was getting updates of your whereabouts

Whenever I wanted to see you I used to ride to Mangalore

I would wait till your classes gets over

I followed you after your classes

I used to hid myself whenever you turned around

When you got angry on someone I thought you got angry on me

I knew everything except that one

What do you know Tell me

You scored 558 in SSLC 372 in PUC

You gave a treat to all your friends on your birthday

There you sang kelisade kallu kallinali

After that your dad got you admitted you to the course which you were not interested

So you fasted for four days

I came to know about it

But that old man didn’t understand

I wanted to say I came to know but not your dad

2001 you had typhoid 2005 you had jaundice

It attacked you exactly during your exam time

And one guy used to follow you all the time

I mean that straight hair guy

Someone beat him very badly then he got admitted in a hospital

A complaint was lodged in a police station

That someone was me

What?

And other than me three guys loved you

And you wore a saree for the first time on annual day

That Rama green saree

You were tensed that it might fall off

On the other hand you were shy that everybody was looking at you

That day

You know how you looked?!

How?

Show it again

And next I saw you like that was

When you wore a saree on your wedding

Blue colour silk saree

As you thought I attended your wedding

I stood in a corner in that crowd

I couldn’t be stay till tying the knot

I ran away as far as possible from that sound and wedding hall

Coffee

Sorry sir I am late

No, you came at the right time

Can I serve you Sir? No I will do it

Okay I will leave

I will come at three and call you

You get ready and come down

I will drop you to Airport

I want to tell you something Come here

Tell me from there That is okay, I will be here

Come here and sit

It took twenty years To see this face

That too for one night

We should thank God for this

But I will do that tomorrow

Don’t say “you sleep now I’ll come tomorrow”

I want to be with you That’s it

Got it?

When a flower blossoms in the lawn

This soul remembers you

In the silence of this midnight

This heart remembers you

Is it possible to forget...

The fist love?

Memories are safe in abode of the Heart

when a flower blossoms in the lawn

This soul remembers you

You always wander in my heart forever

You are the word which is chanted by this soul all the time

You are a mark which cant be erased

You are the memory which I can’t remember to forget

You know me better than I know myself

You know me better

You know me better

when a flower blossoms in the lawn

This soul remembers you

I am done! My students are here

Can I have a table for three?

So what?

What if they see us together?

Are they coming this way?

No they are not seeing this side

But we are supposed exit from there only right?

Oh God! What shall I do now?

I will be in wash room

Oh! Happy birthday to you Thank you Sir

Wont your parents say anything if you are out late night

Sir the thing is

Sir, is she your wife?

Wife!

Hi Hi ma’am

Hi

We are all Ram Sir’s students

Ya I know He just told me

Actually we did not know Sir is married

Nothing like that

It’s a love marriage so we did not tell anyone

Love marriage!?

Why? what happened?

We are unable to believe that Sir is married

And moreover love marriage is unbelievable

What makes you say that?

Then what ma’am

We are not allowed to see Not allowed to talk

We are not allowed to laugh

Enough of talking Leave now

You will cross the limit

Why are you stopping them?

You come and sit

No they are

See ma’am Even when you are here

I will take care of that You carry on

Ya where was I?

You are not allowed to laugh

Ya no laughing, no sleeveless

My father is far better than him

He is like that only

I will ask him to behave gently to girls hereafter. Okay?

Ma’am, how did Sir fall in love?

Ours is school time love

We are in love since high school days

School days?

Sir? Are you shy?

Ma’am when did you accept?

Same day, that very moment As soon as he proposed

You could have made him wait for one week for your beauty

But that day he was my everything to me

Even now

Ma’am how did Sir propose to you?

Please tell us ma’am

We will just listen to this and leave

As a birthday gift ma’am Please

School life was too good

We were happy

During that time

But in 10th Ram shifted to Bengaluru unexpectedly

He didn’t inform me in advance

All the laughter washed away ih tears

I couldn’t forget him even after joining college

It was very difficult for me

But

My heart always told me

That my Ram will come to me one fine day

That he will come for me

Though nothing happens around us

Our conscience will hint that some thing will happen

I experienced it on that day

Excuse me

My Ram came in search of me

I forgot this world within a second

As soon as I heard the name Ramachandra Teerthahalli

My body started shivering

I could not walk

How is it?

It tastes like mom’s cooking

Jaanu!

Are you happy in life?

After a very long time

Mad! I didn’t ask about today

I asked you generally

You sound like my mom!

I felt like asking so I asked

I felt hard in the beginning

I got struck in Singapore

I didn’t know what to do so cried in front of God everyday

But he is too good

He is good father to my daughter

He understands before I say anything to him

There is nothing like lacking

If you ask me if I am happy

I can say I am in peace

Now you are feeling like saying something

But you won’t

Jaanu you sit, I will bring light

Memories

Theerthahalli smell!

How come you have kept everything safely?

This is yours

Mine?

How did this come to you?

I has legs so it came walking

Hey, I stole it

You used to leave it behind while going to PT classes

I observed it

And I took it

Hey no

No no Hey give it to me

Then why are you hiding?

Bloody you! Is it a poem?!

About me?

Give it to me

You will laugh if you read it I laugh at myself in fact

Who will write poem on me? Only you mwill

Okay You read it

Dear Jaanu

We were chirping birds in school

Some were kaav kaav and some were cheev cheev

There was a Cuckoo

Whenever that bird sang my heart fainted

My heart fainted

I long to see the face of that Cuckoo

My heart was scared deep inside

Disease of that smile can’t be cured

Until you finish singing

That naughty shy is playing swing in you plates

That naughty shy is playing swing in you plates

O the one who coloured my emotions

Why do I need a mirror when I have your eyes?

Why do I need a mirror when I have your eyes?

Black between white snow

When those bright eyes move

I wrote this poem from the bottom of my heart

From the bottom of my heart

With love Ramachandra

Ram

You have not slept yet?

Come up

I am used to sleep on mat

Will you come up or not?

Tell me your e-mail i’d height and weight and everything

Why?

Let's search a girl for you

No need

Why no need?

Didn’t I love Ramachandra Teerthahalli and married to Nitin?

Anything is possible tell me

Time up?

Another fifteen minuets

That girl said something in restaurant

Ya that girl was saying something in ears, what was that?

She said “Sir is a good man Take good care of him”

I know Sir is too good

She asked me to take good care of you

So, I don’t know what to do

Shall we leave?

Feels like I am alive for the first time

Feels like death is next to me

Even the shadow is sweating in night!

Corpse of dreams are in my eyes

So what If I don’t get you

I am happy that I am in the same world where you live

Good bye to you Before asking

I ask you a small favour

Give me an idea to live without you

I’ll remember this night till the end

What is the name of this night?

Every breath is bearing the agony in the womb of happiness

The burden in the heart is like scratching the wound

In whom shall we seek justice?

I’ll remember this night till the end

What?

I’ll spend few more minutes with you

You are already late for the flight Jaanu

Please Ram!

You do not look at me like that

Where are you going?

I will be back in a minute

I have bought a ticket in your flight

I’ll be with you till you board the flight

If you keep crying like this

Wipe your tears

When Sun leaves the sky for no reason

Look O lord of Earth

You left this poor soul in the middle of no where

Leaving agony behind

Before you go far away

Tell me the reason
