  • Looking in the Mirror…

    I am wondering how easy is it for someone to

    Set an expectation
    Forget all about it at his/her own convenience
    Get Angry when someone reminds him/her of it
    Making sure that the other person feels like (s)he has done a mistake by speaking his/her mind
    Coming back and almost laughing at him/her, while justifying what was done with proper and valid artifacts

    ______________________

    I don’t call a lot of people friends… I don’t like to… because I know I cannot do justice to that term… its an underrated word, for all I know… So I have a few friends, and a lot of people I know, and some are somewhere between the I know and are friends area…

    When I call someone a friend, it basically adds a whole lot of responsibility on me to ensure that I intentionally or otherwise don’t do things which would hurt them…

    Not that I can always prevent myself from doing such things, but I, from my past, know that I would be genuinely sorry for hurting anyone of the people I call friends…
    And I do make it a point to make it up to them either by saying sorry and meaning it, or by doing something that would help me make it up to them…

    I would not like to first hurt a friend, and then at the next opportunity go back and justify what i did… If I ever did that, I shouldn’t have done that… I know it feels bad when first you are hurt and then made fun of…

    I am sorry…

  • the interface to emotions

    No software is complete without a decent interface… I know of so many applications that failed miserably because the users did not see the interface that would have helped them get the feeling of what the application was capable of… 
    As people, as consumers the interface is very important for all of us… 
    I remember in one of the workshops I had attended a few years back, we talked about how every interaction that we have with any one is like a transaction… where someone is the customer and the other one is a provider… and that did make sense to me then and it does make sense to me today as well… 
    Ok, coming back to the initial point… the interface.. so in every transaction I feel that an interface plays and important role… 
    So does how and what we express… our emotions, our mind, our heart is the application running at the background and our expression of those emotions and thoughts is the interface… 
    having emotions, having feelings, having thoughts is a complete waste if we don’t express… 
    a lot of times our eyes speak… 
    a lot of times our actions speak…
    and at times we do…
    and if nothing of the above happens, I think we only increase distances… which at times become so large that it becomes impossible to bridge them.. no matter how hard we try !!!

  • Let the HEAD be where it should be…

    We have a total of X minutes with us to live, out of which we all would like to give Y minutes to work… which is very very important because
    work gives us money,
    work helps us sustain the standard of living that we like to live or to reach closer to the one we might want to, and
    a lot of other reasons like
    work helps us reach closer to that stage where we reach a certain level of maturity and see things in the right perspective most of the time, or that
    work helps us unwind…

    we all have different reasons to work and spend those Y minutes…

    and in and for those Y minutes,
    ~ We plan everything just right or would atleast like to strategize it right, after all our companies earn money if we do things right…
    ~ We ensure that we have a certain level to meet everytime we do something… we cannot mess up, can we? we would be thrown out of work or someone else who can do things better would get this profile or the next one we are aiming for…
    ~ We give it our heart and soul to ensure that everyone who is looking at our work or is getting effected leaves with a good impression of our effort…
    ~ We look forward to things happening and reaching next levels at work, in maturity, in hierarchy, in composure, in sense and all that…
    ~ even if cannot handle it anymore, we live those Y minutes and manage somehow… so what we have to skip our lunches, and we don’t have time to even drink water the entire day… work comes first…
    ~ Even if getting up is the last thing we want to do, we do and log on to the conference call in the middle of the night…
    ~ So what there is a backache, we still manage to get up and get going…

    and then there is a X-Y amount of minutes, which we label as personal life…
    ~ We tend to ignore the planning part
    ~ We can do a lousy job of it because there are no standards to meet, there is no competition, there is no annual appraisal after all… there is no one who will throw us out.. and even if things get bad, we assume that we can take care of that, WHeN THE BLODDY TIME COMES… as of now we don’t have time to deal with it…
    ~ We are too tired to give our heart or soul to it… and have no option but to defer things that might be important… oh com’on there is that important meeting at work… I think about that or this issue?
    ~ We look forward to things, but have that amazing capability of keeping them at the back seat or tuck them away under the blankets because there is a business suit that is waiting for us that moment…
    ~ We get angry with our loved ones !!! why the fkk can’t she understand that I have a headache !!! God, I had such a hard day at work, and he has to pick up this topic right now !!!
    ~ Ignore ourselves… Let me just take a painkiller right now for the backache… will see if I can see the doctor over the weekend.. and that weekend never comes because we were too lazy to get up on the only day we get an off…

    What are we trying to do? Could I please know it one more time? I lost myself somewhere back there !

    I realised that I did not even hear my thoughts because I was listening to music a li’il too loud… I don’t even know what I have written up here…
    but let me tell you these sony headphones(MDR G42) I got are worth dying for… amazing bass I get in them… nicey nice…

    and its too funny trying to rub your own back and put some balm on it… How come the hands don’t reach exactly that place where the pain is? anyway… I shall try putting some balm again and sleep before this backache kills me and stops me from getting up in the morning…

    And here is All Star singing…

    Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
    Back to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

    p.s. The picture was taken on a recent visit to the British Museum in London.. amazing place

  • कुछ ऐसा करने का dil करे

    dil का अरमान के खुली हवा हो …

    और उसे सांस मे भर लेने का dil करे

    आखों के आगे न ज़मीन हो न आस्मान …

    और चलते चले जाने का dil करे

    ऊपर देखूं तो कुछ तारे मुझसे बात करने के लिए नीचे हो जाएँ …

    और मेरा sirf उनको niharne का dil करे …

    कहीं दूर पहाड़ के पीछे से बांसुरी की आवाज़ आये …

    और मेरा भी कुछ गाने गुनगुनाने का dil करे …

    कहीं दूर एक झरने से पानी के गिरने की आवाज़ आ रही हो …

    और उस आवाज़ मे खो जाने का dil करे …

    एक् रेलगाडी की सीटी सन्नाटे को चीरते हुए मेरे कानो तक पहुंचे …

    और फिर वापस घर जाने के dil करे …

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Dil ka armaan ke khuli hawa ko…

    aur Saans lene ka dil kare

    aakhon ke aage na zameen ho na aasman…

    aur chalte chale jaane ka dil kare

    upar dekhoon to kuch taare mujhse baat karne ke liye neeche ho jayen…

    aur mera sirf unko niharne ka dil kare…

    Kahin door pahad ke peeche se baansuri ki aawaz aaye…

    aur mera bhi kuch gaane gungunane ka dil kare…

    kaheen door jharne se paani ke girne ki aawaz aa rahi ho…

    aur us aawaz mein kho jaane ka dil kare…

    ek railgaadi ki seeti sannate ko cheerte hue mere kaano tak pahunche…

    aur phir wapas ghar jaane ke dil kare…

  • Junk Food, and a story from Junks…

    Junk food is tastier than the regular food… ever wondered why? well i feel because when you are eating junk, you are not really thinking but only enjoying 🙂 not that you cannot enjoy while you think… but enjoying is more fun without thinking for sure 😀

    I had a nicey nice pizza today… what fun digging into that lovely vegetarian pizza full of brll peppers, jalapenos, olives, sweet corn, and yes.. the fattening cheese… but then i had it after long walk in the bloody 4 degs of cold…

    i loved that walk… a few things kept coming back, no matter how hard i tried shooing them away… but then i managed to leave them somewhere on the horley town centre bus stand… what a relief…

    talking of Pizzas it reminds me of a brilliant day that i had very long time back.. i guess in 2001.. i remember it because that time i was working in Global Groupware…

    well, what happened was the I had to go to office… well not really.. i just made that story up because i wanted to meet my then girlfriend… and i offered mom dad a ride to RK Puram… my chacha’s place… the plan was I would drop them there… pick up my girlfriend… come home… call some friends over, have a party and then drop her and go to chacha’s place to pick mom dad up…

    everything happened exactly like how we thought… except a blunder…

    we had ordered pizzas for food… i had kept the pizza boxes to be thrown when we were moving out.. and asked her to pick them up… now in rush i forgot all about them… and when i reached chacha’s place i suddenly was reminded of this.. i called her up, and asked where did she threw the boxes… and as luck wanted it.. the Pizza boxes were on the washing machine… bang in front of the door, waiting for mom dad to arrive with me…

    now there was no way i could remove the boxes now.. and i was already on my way home with mom dad.. thinking about how on earth am I going to save myself from being killed !!!

    well.. when we reached home.. i volunteered to open the doors.. took the keys… opened the door… picked up the pizza boxes… and put them behind the safe in my room… what a CLOSE SHAVE it was… i blasted her off for this… and then almost died laughing on what could have happened to me !!! oh boy…

    i can still laugh at that day…

    and today comes to an end…

    May tomorrow bring peace and happiness to all.. Amen…

    Do you read what you see or what I wrote?

  • sat sun…

    Saturday happened… and got over pretty quick as well… with some washing… some walking… some shopping…

    Sunday was planning to go to a bird park about 2 hours away from home, but looks like its going to be raining today… so I am home.. resting again…

    Good that I get my favorite TV shows every morning here too… Just Shoot Me, Will and Grace, Everybody Loves Raymond, Fraiser, and a few more… all of them… good good…

    have been thinking about a few things.. may be later… right now, i gotta find the torrents for Heroes…

  • Feelings from a distance…

    The lights all around… the candles on the steps… the diyas in the house… the aarti with family… the friends coming over… the sweets… all that is happening…

    and I will go back to a silent room… super silent infact…

    learning to live with it…

  • मनोरमा

    Listening to the soundtrack of मनोरमा these days, off and on… and I love it…

    It at times reminds me of the kind of music Maachis had… needless to say the lyrics are good, music soothing…. and I think the movie has been made nicely too….

    तेरे सवालों के वो जवाब जो मैं दे न सकूं …
    Pighle से अरमान हैं , दो पल के मेहमान हैं …
    आखों के आलों में चाहत की लौ जलने दो ….

    बेहतरीन !!!

  • Die Another Day…

    Coz today, i chose to live just right 🙂 and like it too…

    Warmed some milk, tasted it… and decided that its better to have some tea bag or coffee in it.. which means tomorrow i need to go to the market and get some tea bags and some coffee…

    i should have had some sugar, but i replaced it with honey in milk…

    and i spread some nice looking orange marmalade on the thick brown bread… i like that better than the mixed jam… something that comes close is the pineapple jam.. which i will get next…

    and dinner is ready 😀

    And tonight, i watch Johnny Gaddar…

    purrfect !!!

    lunch today was a cheeeeeeeeeze pizza… with some extra pineapply toppings 😀 no good.. i just ate half the pizza and pineapple from the rest of it… and left the rest… temptations resisted for the tummy 😀

    chalta hoon abhi.. doodh thanda ho raha hai…
