‘ಚಿತ್ರಮಿತ್ರ’ ಮುಂಬೈನಲ್ಲಿರುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ಮನಸ್ಸು ಮಾತ್ರ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಕನ್ನಡದ ನೆಲದಲ್ಲಿ. ಇದಕ್ಕೇನು ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಎನ್ನುತ್ತೀರಾ..? ಕನ್ನಡಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಲೋಕದ ಹೊಸ ಕನಸುಗಳಾದ ಅನು ಪಾವಂಜೆ, ಸಂಧ್ಯಾರಾಣಿ, ಬಿ ವಿ ಭಾರತಿ, ಸುನಿಲ್ ರಾವ್ ಹೀಗೆ.. ಇವರು ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ರಚಿಸಿರುವ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಚಿತ್ರಗಳನ್ನೇ ನೋಡಿ.
ಒಂದು ಬೆಳ್ಳಂಬೆಳಗ್ಗೆ ಇವರಿಗೆ ಇದ್ದಕ್ಕಿದ್ದಂತೆ ಕಾಡಿದ್ದು ಕುಂ ವೀ ಅವರ ಫೋಟೋ. ನನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ತರಹವೇ ಇದ್ದಾರಲ್ಲಾ ಎನಿಸಿ ಕಣ್ಣಿಟ್ಟು ನೋಡಿದ ಇವರು ತಡಮಾಡದೆ ಚಿತ್ರ ರಚಿಸಲು ಕೂತೇ ಬಿಟ್ಟರು. ಹೌದಲ್ಲಾ ಕುಂ ವೀ ಮತ್ತೆ ಜೀವ ತಳೆಯುತ್ತಾ ಹೊದರು.
ಅವರು ಜೀವ ತಳೆದ ರೀತಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಯಾಕೆ ಬರೆದೆ ಎಂದು ಚಿತ್ರಮಿತ್ರ ಹೇಳಿರುವುದೂ ಇಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ನೋಡಿ ಸಿಂಪ್ಲಿ ಎಂಜಾಯ್ ಮಾಡಿ
