zindaggi na milegi dobaara

Poem 1
Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin
Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti
Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi
Kuch lafz hain woh maangti
Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh
Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh
Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai
Ahsas hi ahsas hai
Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti
Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai
Jiska pata tumko bhi hai
Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai
Duniya se bhi chupta nahin
Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai

Poem 2
Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya
Jab ghum ka saya lehraya
Jab aansoo palkon tak aya
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya
Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
Duniya mein yunhi hota hai
Yeh jo gehre sannate hain
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain
Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai
Har pal ek naya mausam hai
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai

Poem 3
Pighle neelam sa behta ye sama,
neeli neeli si khamoshiyan,
na kahin hai zameen na kahin aasmaan,
sarsaraati hui tehniyaan pattiyaan,
keh raheen hai bas ek tum ho yahan,
bas main hoon,
meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein,
aisi gehraiyaan, aisi tanhaiyaan,
aur main… sirf main.
Apne hone par mujhko yakeen aa gaya.

Poem 4
Dilon me tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Nazar me khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Hwa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehno sekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sekho
Hr ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
Hr ek pal ek nya sama dekhe nigahein
Jo apni ankhon mein hairanian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni betabian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum

Last Mail From Amdocs

for guiding me in my work with their valuable experience and enriching my knowledge base.
I would like to thank Vinoj and Ajay S for their care bestowed on me and for giving various opportunities in core and delivery projects.
I have made many friends in amdocs which made my stay here more memorable .Trips with the Invoicing group were most entertaining.
I will never forget the cricket tournaments I was part of and also the winning moments in one of those while playing under Juggernauts. We lived upto the title of the team .
I will also remember the intermittent short stints with RMCC-ARIC. It was good to be on the other side of the fence as well J .
Also, it was nice to have special bond with AR L2 (ISR and DVCI) as I tried my best to offer ample assistance.

USA Vs India

Revisiting the differences between America and India
1. Here people give indicator while changing the lanes on street , In india they don’t even bother to give indication while turning to a altogether new street.
2. Dominos delivery guy comes in a car , In india he comes by bike .
3. In US people celebrate smallest win with great joy, In India ,no body knows even if some body wins a lottery
4. There are max 2 guys in a restaurant serving all ,In India, 2 guys will always be there besides every table
5. Coming in 5 minutes actually means it will take only 5 minutes .
6. Pedestrians are treated like prince on road , in India they are treated like bugs on road
7. Measurement scale , they measure
distance in miles
Temperature in Fareignheit
Liquid in gallons
Weight in pounds
8. I never understood why they call petrol/diesel as GAS
9. They say “thank you” and “have a nice day” and “how are u” a zillion times in a day
10. They drive on right side of the road , we Indians drive as per our will
11. There are no night charges in cab/taxi

15. Bribing doesn’t work here.
16. If you don’t tip the service industry , you are considered cheap.
17. Each unit of currency is valuable ..even 1 penny..In India soon the time will come when 10 Rs will be the minimum accepted amount
18. U will never hear any service industry guy say ..”chhutte nahi hai”(I don’t have change).
19. In USA, Queues are actually straight lines
20. People go to malls to shop , not to have a get Together .

Have It Chilled

Have it chilled ..

There is a place in India, where u don’t feel like india. A place where indians feel like complete strangers. A place where number of veg restaurants are less than those found in city of Vancouver.

A drinkers’ paradise ,any married couples honeymoon fantasy , young blood’s fav happening hangout and oldies’ peace destination.

Its everything here. Its boisterous ,its calm and its refreshing all at the same time … our first encounter with the resort guy made me think that ..god..this place is different and exciting. He came on the road to escort us to resort. He was middle aged guy without his shirts on and the very first sentence he said took all our lethargy away and charged us up… He said this is GOA guys ..dont get shocked to see me like this…GOA main rehna ka to bindaaas ho ke rehna ka …yeah we were in goa to rock our long weekend ..thanks again to Amdocs and recession combined.

As suitably described in a famous song from movie Socah na tha “Goa hum to teri har ada ke dewaane hai” I believe in the song ..Goa has a beautiful enchanting essence of life… We see West image in here. Where else in india u could see girls in just bikinis or sometimes not even in that…

Be it Monday or weekend roads never fail to glitter. Its always a festival time and there is never a dull moment . Shops are lightened in the same way we lit our houses in diwali.. only difference ..they celebrate life through out the year.

This is the place where I have heard people go again and again.. some make excuse of a second honeymoon and some just casually their spend extended weekends just like us.

They know its worth every penny to spend there. The night we went out in search of a club for rave party it gave us shocking surprises..Wont mention any of those here..

I will definitely go there once again ..thats for sure ..

A clean work of legs !

It feels amazing when u peep out of the window of the moving train and u can see both front and rear of the train simultaneously. You keep looking back and forth and fill your heart with amusement. I did behold such scenes before but for the first time I was enjoying it .
Because what I else I could do. I was on a long journey to ratlam to attend a wedding and I was somehow trying to make most of my lonesome travel. I took 3 novels along with me and I was convinced that I will get enough time to complete all the three..And my start actually supported my unrealistic belief. First on my list was alchemist.

ah..let me rewind back a bit ..about an half-an hour ago. As usual I checked the reservation charts before boarding. Not for checking my reservations but to see are there any girls of age-group 18-25 in my bogie...but how could god go wrong about this ..

I started reading Pualo coelho’s alchemist .it was interesting in the beginning…watch it I said in the beginning ..i lost interest after two hours of reading it …hey hold on..dont blame the book.. but sometimes it happens ,at one time u are in one situation ,one setup of things and all of a sudden a trigger by universal power shifts u from that setting to a completely awkward and embarrassing situation. I got parted with my brand new shoes and I had no idea who the heck did this. I suddenly became the example to state for rest of the travelers. I could now listen the incident being retold again and again .No one was empathizing as if I should expect from complete strangers. Everyone was just conforming their happiness by relishing the fact that it weren’t there shoes.
So everything seemed pale after that ,not because shoes were expensive but because I had nothing to cover my feet, oh no I had.something..yeah ...two sandels of different pattern for each feet..funny ha…but that’s what the thief left for me..the price for my carelessness ..

Finally I got new shoes at mandsaur and things leapt back to normalcy and world was in order again J

10 things I hate about you poem...listen to it in movie....

I hate the way you talk to me,

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car,

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you are always right, I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you are not around, and the fact that you didnt call.

But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you,

not even close

not even a little bit

not even at all.

Value of Time ..

Heard many times about the importance of time and all the merits of saving it ..
And actually realised it many a times that its quite true. I would like to share the most recent realization.

got up early or rather very early that day ..3 Am in morning...dared to take bath as it was pending for many days ..:)
it really takes a lot of courage to plunge urself in shower in chilly nights in wake of fact that its pouring out cold water .....Finally got ready and left for mumbai ...

I reached there in no time ....6 Am i was in front of the office ...to my surprise there were many others who actually reached there before me ...i can imagine how much sleep they would have got ....

Spent around an hour in cab and then finally pull myself out of deep sombre...and tried all things to become more attentive ..ate some biscuits ,had tea ...

Finally i found myself in a big Queue and felt like being on a conveyor belt being scrutinized for quality. It was like check list being run over us and if found faltering it ...forced out immediately from queue and then required to start al over again....

Fortunately i made it through in one go ...

And at 8.30 i was out again in my cab heading back to Pune ....
Then i realized that this is the time i generally wake up daily and today at this time i already crossed 200 odd Kms and got done with USA Visa interview formalities .
I am sure my Rommie would be yawning and struggling hard to get out of bed back in pune and here i am ....one task accomplished ..wihle he i assleep.
Just realized a lot can be achieved and accomplished if value of time is cared....got a lesson...and fortunately not the hard way this time .... :)
