ಪರದೇಸಿ ಕೇಳಿದ ಪ್ರತಿಧ್ವನಿ

Authors: Payal Molur, Sanjay Molur

ಆ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಗಡಗಡ ನಡುಗುವ ಚಳಿ. ಆದರೂ ಪರದೇಸಿಗೆ ಮನೆಗೆ ಹೋಗುವ 

ಮನಸ್ಸಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಮಿತ್ರರಾದ ಮಂದ್ರ ಹಾಗೂ ಬೆಡೊಮಿ ಜೊತೆ ಬೀದಿದೀಪದ 

ಸುತ್ತ ಸುತ್ತುತ್ತಿರುವಾಗ ಅವನ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು ಫಳ ಫಳ ಹೊಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದವು. 

ಸಣ್ಣಗೆ ಮಳೆ ಜಿನುಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೂ ಹುಳುಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಆಟ ಮುಂದುವರಿಸಿದ್ದವು.

ಬಾವಲಿ ಮರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಇದು ಹುಳು ತಿನ್ನಲು ಹೇಳಿ ಮಾಡಿಸಿದ ಸಮಯವಾಗಿತ್ತು.

ಪರದೇಸಿಗಂತೂ ಸೊಳ್ಳೆ ಊಟವೆಂದರೆ ಪಂಚಪ್ರಾಣ.

“ಆ...ಆ... ಆಂ! ನನಗೆ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತು!” ಎಂದು ಆತ ಹಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದ.

ಮೂವರು ಮಿತ್ರರ ನಡುವೆ ಒಂದು ಗಂಟೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾರು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸೊಳ್ಳೆ ತಿನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎಂಬ ಹೊಸ ಆಟ ಶುರುವಾಗಿತ್ತು!

ಆಟ ಶುರುವಾದ ಅರ್ಧ ಗಂಟೆಯಲ್ಲೇ ಪರದೇಸಿ 150 ಸೊಳ್ಳೆ ಗುಳುಂ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದ.

ಖಂಡಿತ ಇದು ಆತನ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಶುಭರಾತ್ರಿಯೇ!

ದಿಢೀರನೇ ಆತನ ಕಿವಿಗಳು ಗುಂಯ್ ಗುಟ್ಟ ತೊಡಗಿದವು. ಕೂಡಲೇ ತಲೆಸುತ್ತಿ ನೆಲಕ್ಕೆ ಬೀಳತೊಡಗಿದ.

ದೊಡ್ಡ ಬಾವಲಿ ಬೆಡೊಮಿ ಸರಕ್ಕನೆ ಪರದೇಸಿ ಬಳಿ ಬಂದು ಕೇಳಿದಳು.

“ಏನಾಯ್ತು? ನೀನು ಆರಾಮಾಗಿದಿಯಾ ತಾನೆ?” “ಉಹೂಂ... ಅಯ್ಯೋ... ನನ್ನ ಕಿವಿ...”

ಎಂದು ಪರದೇಸಿ ನೋವಿನಿಂದ ಕೂಗಿದ. ಕಿವಿ ಹಿಡಿದುಕೊಂಡು ಗಾಳಿಯಲ್ಲೇ ಉರುಳು ಹೊಡೆಯುತ್ತಾ ಹತ್ತಿರದ ಮರದ ಕೊಂಬೆಯತ್ತ ಸರಿದು, ತಲೆಕೆಳಗಾಗಿ ಜೋತು ಬಿದ್ದ. “ಅಯ್ಯೋ... ತುಂಬಾ ನೋಯ್ತಿದೆ!” ಎಂದು ಅಳತೊಡಗಿದ.

ಬೆಡೊಮಿ ಪರದೇಸಿಯ ಜೊತೆ ಇದ್ದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಧೈರ್ಯ ತುಂಬುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ, ಮಂದ್ರ ಅವನ ಅಮ್ಮನನ್ನು ಕರೆತರಲು ಹೋದ.

ಪರದೇಸಿಗೆ ವಿಚಿತ್ರ ನೋವು, ತಲೆಸುತ್ತು ಬರುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಕಿವಿಗಳು ಪಟಪಟ ಬಡಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದವು.

ಅವು ಹಾಗೆ ಬಡಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವಾಗೆಲ್ಲ ಕಿವಿ ಹರಿದು ಹೋದಂತೆ ನೋವಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು.

ಬೆಡೊಮಿ ತನ್ನ ಚುರುಕು ಕಿವಿಗಳನ್ನು ಗಾಳಿಗೆ ಆನಿಸಿ ಪರದೇಸಿಯ ಅಮ್ಮ ಬಂದಳೇ ಎಂದು ಗಮನಿಸಿದಳು. ಹಕ್ಕಿ, ಕಪ್ಪೆ, ಸರೀಸೃಪಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಗಾಯಗೊಂಡ ಬಾವಲಿಗಳನ್ನೂ ಬೇಟೆಯಾಡಿ ತಿನ್ನುವ ಲೈರಾ ಬಾವಲಿಯ ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಬಿದ್ದರೆ ಪರದೇಸಿ ಕಥೆ ಮುಗಿದಂತೆಯೇ ಎಂಬ ಭಯ ಆಕೆಗೆ. ತನ್ನ ದೊಡ್ಡ ರೆಕ್ಕೆ ಬಿಚ್ಚಿ ಪರದೇಸಿಯನ್ನು ಬಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡಳು.

ಮಂದ್ರ ಪರದೇಸಿಯ ಅಮ್ಮನನ್ನು ಕರೆತರುತ್ತಲೇ, ಅಮ್ಮ ಅವನನ್ನು ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಬಳಿ ಕರೆದೊಯ್ದರು.

ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಎಲಾ, ಪರದೇಸಿಯ ಕಿವಿಗಳನ್ನು ಪರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿದರು.

ತಲೆ ಕೊಡವುತ್ತಾ, “ಪರದೇಸಿ ಪುಟ್ಟಾ, ನಿನ್ನ ಕಿವಿಗಳಿಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಶೀತವಾಗಿದೆ. ನಾವು, ಕಪಟ ಬಾವಲಿಗಳು; ಮಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೆನೆಯಬಾರದು ಎಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲವೇ 
ನಿನಗೆ?” ಎಂದರು.

ಆದರೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪದ ಪರದೇಸಿ, “ಇಲ್ಲ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ 
ಮಳೆ ಏನೂ ಬರುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಇಬ್ಬನಿ ಥರ 
ಹನಿಯುತ್ತಿತ್ತು...” ಎಂದ.

ಆದರೂ, ಡಾಕ್ಟರು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕೆಲವು ಮಾತ್ರೆಗಳನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನಿಸಿದರು. ನಂತರ ಕೆಲವು ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಇರುವ ಚಾರ್ಟ್ ಒಂದನ್ನು ತೆರೆದು ತೋರಿಸಿದರು.

“ನಮಗೆ ಕಿವಿಗಳೇ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಪರದೇಸಿ. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ, ಪ್ರತಿಧ್ವನಿಯ ಆಧಾರದ ಮೇಲೆ ನಮ್ಮ 
ಆಹಾರವನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತೇವೆ. ಹಾಗೆಂದರೆ ಏನೆಂದು ಗೊತ್ತಾ ನಿನಗೆ,” ಎಂದರು.

ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ತಲೆಯಾಡಿಸಿದ ಪರದೇಸಿ.

ಅಷ್ಟರಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕಿವಿ ನೋವು ತುಸು ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾಗಿ, ಆರಾಮ ಎನಿಸಿತ್ತು.

“ಕೀಟಾಹಾರಿ ಬಾವಲಿಗಳಾದ ನಾವು, ನಮ್ಮ ಮೂಗಿನ ಮೂಲಕ ಧ್ವನಿ ಸಂದೇಶ ಕಳಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.

ಅವು ದೂರದ ವಸ್ತುಗಳಿಗೆ ಡಿಕ್ಕಿ ಹೊಡೆದು ಪ್ರತಿಧ್ವನಿಯಾಗಿ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗುತ್ತವೆ. ಪ್ರತಿಧ್ವನಿ ತರಂಗಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲಿರುವ ವಸ್ತು ಯಾವುದು, ಹೇಗಿದೆ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ನಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತವೆ,” ಎಂದು ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ವಿವರಿಸಿದರು.

“ಹಾಂ! ಒಂದೊಂದು ಪ್ರತಿಧ್ವನಿಯೂ ಒಂದೊಂದು ಥರ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಹುಳುಗಳು ಇವೆ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರತಿಧ್ವನಿ ಹೇಳಿದರೆ, ನಾವು ಅದನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು ತಿನ್ನುತ್ತೇವೆ. ಅದು ಮರ ಅಥವಾ ಗೋಡೆಯಾದರೆ ನಾವು ಅದರತ್ತ ಹಾರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ,” ಎಂದ ಉಮೇದಿನಿಂದ.

A little boy went to his old grandpa and asked, "What's the value of life?"

The grandpa gave him one stone and said, "Find out the value of this stone, but don't sell it."

The boy took the stone to an Orange Seller and asked him what its cost would be.

The Orange Seller saw the shiny stone and said, "You can take 12 oranges and give me the stone."

The boy apologized and said that the grandpa has asked him not to sell it.

He went ahead and found a vegetable seller.

"What could be the value of this stone?" he asked the vegetable seller.

The seller saw the shiny stone and said, "Take one sack of potatoes and give me the stone."

The boy again apologized and said he can't sell it.

Further ahead, he went into a Jewellery shop and asked the value of the stone.

The jeweler saw the stone under a lens and said, "I'll give you 1 million for this stone."

When the boy shook his head, the jeweler said, "Alright, alright, take 2 24karat gold necklaces, but give me the stone."

The boy explained that he can't sell the stone.

Further ahead, the boy saw a precious stone's shop and asked the seller the value of this stone.

When the precious stone's seller saw the big ruby, he lay down a red cloth and put the ruby on it.

Then he walked in circles around the ruby and bent down and touched his head in front of the ruby. "From where did you bring this priceless ruby from?" he asked.

"Even if I sell the whole world, and my life, I won't

be able to purchase this priceless stone."

Stunned and confused, the boy returned to the grandpa and told him what had happened.

"Now tell me what is the value of life, grandpa?"

Grandpa said,

"The answers you got from the Orange Seller, the Vegetable Seller, the Jeweler & the Precious Stone's Seller explain the value of our life...

You may be a precious stone, even priceless, but, people will value you based on their financial status, their level of information, their belief in you, their motive behind entertaining you, their ambition, and their risk taking ability.

But don't fear, you will surely find someone who will discern your true value."

*Respect yourself.*

*Don't sell yourself cheap.*

*You are rare, Unique, Original and the only one of ur kind.*

*You are a masterpiece because you are MASTER'S PIECE.*

*No one can Replace you.*

*Value the value...*

A group of frogs

A group of frogs were traveling through the forest when two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that there was no hope left for them.

However, the two frogs ignored their comrades and proceeded to try to jump out of the pit. However, despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of the pit were still saying that they should just give up as they’d never make it out.

Eventually, one of the frogs took heed of what the others were saying and he gave up, jumping even deeper to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the group of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and to just die.

He ignored them, and jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?”

The frog explained to them that he was deaf, and that he thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

Moral of the story: People’s words can have a huge effect on the lives of others. Therefore, you should think about what you’re going to say before it comes out of your mouth – it might just be the difference between life and death.
