INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY



Bhaadhalu leni jeevitham kosam,
Kalathalu leni nidhra kosam,
Prathi rojoo aaloshishthoo,
Prathi raathree prayathnishthoo,
Nirvedhamtho nirantharam karigi pothoone unnaanu,
Sahanamtho maro tharaanni shrustisthoone unnaanu.


For a life devoid of complexities,
For a sound sleep without any disturbances,
I am thinking every day,
I am trying every night,
Melting myself continuously with pain and distress,
Yet creating another generation patiently on and on.

The first version is in Telugu. The following version is its translated version into English by me. I emailed this entry from the email id of my wife Srijana, recently, in response to the invitation of folks of Telugu daily Eenadu, from women candidates only, for publication in their daily, on 8 March, 2011, on the occasion of International Women's Day. They did not publish anything related to this invitation. I posted it here for you.
