The bird of the nest in my Heart


I was a normal human being from a middle class family and leading a life of usual ups and downs. I had just started my independent life with a good job and working towards securing my future. Or you can say I was trying to learn lessons the life wanted to teach me. Suddenly I met someone who actually turned my whole life and its direction. A beautiful young girl with long black hair, gorgeous twinkling eyes and an innocent smile on her face. The moment I saw her there was a flash in my heart. We started as good friends and then I did not even realize that my life was to change. I felt that finally I found the angel of my heart, which turned out to be true later on. She was really a special person.

This girl was the bird of the nest in my heart. I could not chase her away from my nest, as my head advised to do so, but my heart never wanted to. As she was a little bird, I gave her all freedom to play around the nest in my heart. Slowly she became so intertwined that I began to feel her as a part of my own life. We used to fight and laugh over silly things. We used to share all our thoughts together. I started to see my self in her eyes. I could see her in my shadows, as reflection in the mirror. I could smell her presence every time. So much was her influence on my life that sometimes I used to forget hours and days in her sweet company.

 I started to pray the bird (the girl) would not fly away from the nest in my heart. Days and years passed and we were together. But never ever in my mind the thought came that the bird had its own life and thinking, and it wanted to be independent one day.

Alas, the moment arrived which I was always scared of. The bird was now matured, able, bold and courageous and decided to venture out to see the world, to bid adieu to the nest in my heart.

One morning she came upto me and said, “Good bye friend I have decided to go away”. I tried to smile though tears rolled down my eyes, but I did not tell her to stayback as I knew sooner or later she would leave. I stood breathless and murmured to myself, “Thank you friend for everything. I will not say goodbye to you as nobody says goodbye to one’s hands, legs, or any part of the body when it leaves”. I knew that bird would fly away one day but will never take the nest away. The nest will always remain for her in my heart. I only told her, “Wherever you go and need me at anytime, just close your eyes and wish for me, I will be there for you, my love”.

She started to walk away, her hands moving out of mine. I stood there as she disappeared as if in the wind and my tears blurred my view. I was inconsolable. Now I am alone and the thoughts of the little bird haunt me like ghosts. My conscience sometimes says I’m a coward for not expressing my heart’s desire before the bird flew away. I now agree with my conscience that it was my fault and did not give a chance to the bird to know how deep rooted she is in my heart. Now everyday I’m hoping for sure that one day the bird will come back to the nest, at least once and then I’ll muster courage to express myself boldly.

Will that day ever come? Or will my nest remain lonely for ever? Right now I have no answer. Only the time and destiny will have the answer.

DEDICATION TO MY LOVE


You are the best gift I have got, 
For you are in my entire thoughts, 
Without you, my life will have no meaning, 
In you, I find my whole living. 
It will be beyond your imagination, 
To understand, How much I care and adore you 
More than any of God’ creation, 
Yes, I madly love you. 
When I look into your eyes 
Those round and deep, 
In them I find paradise 
Where I want to sleep 
Hold my hand And walk with me, 
So, together we can find 
The path to our destiny
I shall face any hardships 
To fulfill our desires 
For you, all my life I shall worship, 
Not a single day, will I tire. 
My whole life I dedicate to you, 
My entire happiness is only for you,
 In return I ask for your TRUE LOVE

A CUP OF COFFE WITH WILFY REBIMBUS


Mangalore Cultural Association of Doha, Qatar is thrilled to organize 245th Wilfy Nite, a mega musical event of the year on 30th May 2008 at Doha Cinema hall at 5.30 pm.

After a loooong gap of 7 years, the renowned legend of the Konkani community…the Konkan Kogul (The “Nightingale” of the Konkan region) is all set to perform his 7th Konkani Musical Nite in Doha with his celebrity wife Meena and his famous troupe ….. and they have already arrived in Doha to give us all a rapturous evening and evoke the yester musical years with new heart throbbing renditions.

So far Wilfy Rebimbus has performed musical nites in India, Gulf countries and Canada. He has composed more than 3000 songs which in reality should find a prominent place in the Guinness Book of Records and brought out 39 Volumes of his Konkani songs with each volume becoming a super-hit by itself promptly upon their release. Apart from these he has even composed and sung for Konkani movies like Mog Ani Maipas (Love and Affection) ,Bogsanne 9Forgiveness) Padri (The Priest) and Tisri Cheet.

He is a born poet, musician, singer and playwright and what many of us may be unaware of…. a great social worker who has helped many economically handicapped members of the community. Wilfy is a multifaceted personality, a bunch of gifts and talents, but always maintains low profile. A very simple, humble and down to earth personality… with success never going into his head ….and always sporting a friendly golden smile on his face (reflecting perhaps his golden heart deep inside) and with his friendly soft-spoken style of conversation, almost everyone loves him everyone young or old, the healthy or wealthy or even those not so healthy and wealthy ones. I know of an elderly lady from a wellknown family whose children used to proclaim that she felt peaceful and free of all pain while listening to Wilfy’s songs on a cassette player by her bedside during her last few months in this world just before she passed away……such was the impact of Wilfy on the entire Konkani community. May be invisible to everyone Wilfy’s voice even possesses a special God given healing power…, and it may not be wrong to address him as Dr.Wilfy Rebimbus…..!!!!

When I contacted him with a few questions he opened his heart and poured out his feelings.

CGS: After a gap of 7 years, you have come to Qatar to perform your 7th Wilfy nite musical show, how do you feel?
Wilfy: There are two reasons to be happy about I am really thrilled to come to Qatar after 7 years, secondly I am excited to see my children and grand children over here.

CGS: At present the young generation is after Western music, do you think there is any future for Konkani Music?.
Wilfy: Western music enthralls today’s young generation with latest sound and technology, youngsters love western music because of its rhythm and beats. For peace and tranquility of mind they know that their cultural music is the best one. It’s a happy scenario to see that many youngsters take up Konkani music. Hence there’s absolutely no panic whatsoever about the future of Konkani music.

CGS: Recently you have accommodated new face and new voice in your troupe, what difference do you find between the previous singers and the new one’s?.
Wilfy: In those days we had to train the singers. After a training of many years they were able to perform in the stage. Present generation is truly lucky, as they get all round training in music at their young age. So they do not need much training, but they have no patience they want instant name and fame.

CGS: Some music lovers say that your latest compositions are not up to the mark, as compared to the old ones, any comments?.
Wilfy: Taste of the music lovers change from time to time. I have been composing songs for the last 48 years, about 20 years back people would say that songs I composed 15 years back were wonderful!

CGS: How do you compose a song? Music first or the lyrics?
Wilfy: I compose songs in both the forms; it’s easier to compose music for the lyrics written by others. It’s quite natural to write lyrics on a particular subject and compose music, usually I use this method.

CGS: Like your old hit ‘Philomena’ why don’t you compare a song on ‘Meena’?
Wilfy: I had composed a few songs on ‘Meena’ before our marriage and I have sung in front of her. There was no need after the marriage!.

CGS: So far you have performed 244 ‘Wilfy Nite’ stage shows and created a history. How long would you continue this trend?.
Wilfy: when I completed 200th Wilfy Nite, Meena and myself decided to put an end. Now we are going to perform 245th musical show many of our well wishers say that we should stop at 250th show, we feel the same.

CGS: Your breath is music and music is your breath, this is your philosophy are you sure that your family would continue this tradition?.
Wilfy: First 20 years of my life was a life of sad music, In the beginning I used to receive only bouquets, shawls and applause and retire to bed with hunger, we suffered a lot…..but in 1979 when I started bringing out audio cassettes of my songs, our economic conditions started improving. Konkani people have extended their support whole heartedly, thank God, now we are better off. I have no objection if my children carry on this tradition, but they should not take up music for their livelihood, but with their respective profession, they can carry on with Konkani music.

CGS: Thank you Wilfy, wish you GOOD LUCK!.
