Simply Awesome....

I just read this awesome piece of poetry over my friend, Amardeep's poetry blog  and within an instant , it striked me so much deep inside. If you have been in love and lost it, got hurt by it, you would understand the heat hidden in these words. Have a read it, dayaar-e-gair mein kaise tujhe sada dete tu mil bhi jata to tujhe gawa dete (dayaar-e-gair=alien/unknown place, sada=voice, call) tumhi ne ham ko sunaya na apna dukh warna dua woh karte ke ham aasmaan hila dete hamein yeh zom raha ab ke woh pukaarenge unhein yeh zid thi k har baar ham sada dete (zom=illusion) woh tera gam tha k taseer mere lahje ki ke jis ko haal sunaate use rula dete (taseer=effect) tumhein bhulana hi aval to dastaaras mein nahi jo ikhtiyar bhi hota to kya bhula dete (aval=firstly, dastaaras=within reach, ikhtiyar=control) tumhaari yaad ne koi jawab hi na diya mere khiyal ke aansu rahe sada dete samaaton ko main taa-umar kostaa Syed woh kuch na kehte magar honth to hila dete (samaaton=hearing power

YASS(Yet Another Soulful Song)....

I have been listening songs and in that, sad songs from a long time. Though its always tough to bring that pain in both lyrics and music which one has himself not felt, still there are some songs which do justice to those emotions. I have mentioned few of those kind of songs in the past over here.  Despite that there are so many songs out there, there are very few, I shall even say, countable over finger tips which are truly magical and have a capability to simply hook you with them. Its very rare that the voice of the singer truly do a justice with that pain which only that person can understand who has his heart wounded. I found this song just 3 days back.Infact, I didn’t even find it.  I just stumbled over it and since that time,I believe I must have heard it over hundred times. After so long, I have heard just a song and nothing else. Now a days, even sad songs are prepared by adding disco beats in them so that people can enjoy them while driving.  But those who do this, they alw

I Am Back....

Yeah yeah it does sound that I went for years but no, that's not the case. I am back from my program and I am back with smiles over my face which is only because the audience was smiling. I must say, it was second time when I met a very good audience, a perfect blend of right people for the right kind of module. Though there were some who stood apart from everyone else but still, I can't say who was better than the other as all were equally good. I love to get questions and its better when they are tough and I was lucky enough that I got very good ones. One question is still pending to be answered. Though I did give the answer with my little knowledge but I am not convinced and I am sure, neither would be that guy who asked it. I am still searching for the "under-the-hood" answer of it. I have got some leads, hope I shall get the entire puzzle set straight soon. Over all, it was a program worth remembering. Guys were really good and they gave really good comments abo

Talking Over TokBox....

TokBox  is an excellent application. I had a profile  over it but I didn't record any video post. TokBox allows one to create public posts which all can see. I have recorded one today and here it is, http://www.tokbox.com/post/jqorraaexmj9 If you think that I am not looking so good, its the camera and if you think that my voice is scary,its the microphone :-) .

Learning....

We have brought dad back home today. I guess I didn't mention it before but both my dad and younger sister met with a very severe road accident. Some stupid arse gal hit them and ran away. Even though when people contacted her, she just jerked her hands off saying that she hasn't done anything. I am always against letting gals drive any damn thing because they have no idea about at all whatsoever about it and they do know it in and out, how to put the blame of their mistakes on others. If you think its a biased opinion, well I can't do anything in it, sorry. Its there and its going to be there now. There are lots of things which are going to be biased now from me as this world is not letting me stay the way I am. I would just mention that though, we are at home, it doesn't mean everything has gone fine. Dad has undergone two major surgeries and will be on bed for 2 months, surviving only on liquid diet. The same is there for my sister who has got sever internal injurie

Worst Times....

I am writing this from my pda which I bought few days back but couldn't get time to write about it yet. This probably is among the worst times that me and my family have ever undergone. I never felt so sad, upset and helpless as I am feeling now. In the same time, I am so much pist of over few people and out of words for saying thanks to some few who didn't bother that its day or night and have stood along with us at this time. There is a huge difference between just saying things and actually doing some thing for some one and  I have seen both at this point of time. I won't say anything at this point of time as its not the right moment but its mandatory to mention that some have gone so much high in my eyes and some have hurt me beyond words. Still, all I want is that this phase must be over asap and everything gets fine. If that god is out there anywhere, its high time for him to show his presence.

NIOUG, Finally Alive....

Few months back, I saw a small dream to make a platform for those who want to do Oracle but due to lack of support, information are not able to do so. The idea was to formulate a ground which can support all of those people who are in anyways related to Oracle technologies. For the past few months, me and Amardeep were working really hard to make this dream a reality. I had decided to make this forum limited to those who belong to the North India side of the country. We were working really hard to do all what's needed for it. But despite, all of the odds, we started it and finally today, we did make it open for the public access. So, as the president of NIOUG(North India Oracle Users Group), I am happy and proud to mention that our web portal is up from today. Please visit us at , http://www.nioug.org . We have tried to be as unique as possible and will continue to do so in future as well. Do let me know, how did you find the entire concept, is it good, bad and all the things lik

A Really Bad Time....

I am back today about 2 hours ago early in the morning. I am not sure what else to say that this is the worst time for my family and me as there is a very severe happening happened with my dad and younger sister. My bad luck was that I couldn't come when it did happen, I just got back and in two hours, I shall be rushing towards hospital. I don't know yet what would happen as things are still in not clear and situation is really bad. In this so much hard time, as much I am worried and tense, like the same I have two another feelings. One, of great relief and happiness to see that there are few people around me who have gone beyond limits and stood besides my family in this so much crucial time. Manjeet, Kavita, Sunil, Mansi , these all have given their full support in each and every thing, making sure that even when I was not there, nothing would had got effected. I never liked saying thanks and listening sorry, both are just very small acts, But I guess at times, one needs t

Travelling Time, Again....

Yes ,I am leaving tomorrow. It will be a long and grueling travel and on top of that, I am going to handle some of the toughest modules and people. Let's see what happens? I am really not in a mood to go but I have to. Hope everything goes fine. Wish me luck guys and pray for me.

Random Things....

I have not been able to sit and write from past few days. There were couple of reasons for it. Despite that I have quite a few things to talk about, I don't have time to do it at the moment as I shall be leaving tomorrow. Still, there are few things about which I would surely write about in forthcoming posts. At present, these are some random things which are not necessarily related to each other. Last few days have been very uneasy. I can't say that they were very busy or hectic as I am at home. But yes there are lots of issues on the personal side. I have been moving to the hospital daily. Its not me who is sick but in the family. I have to leave in between and go tomorrow. I just hope that everything goes fine. It was festival season ( and still there will be festivals coming along) so there was a huge amount of hustle and bustle which was there. I went with my sister for some shopping. She wanted to buy some clothes, we also bought few gifts for distribution. It was for

Video Call Me On TokBox....

Alex from Pythian  mentioned about TokBox  which lets you make a video call at no extra effort. I just made a login there and here I am over TokBox.  It looks promising in the first look. In any case, I have an account here now and I shall be playing around with it. See it for yourself too and hope to "see" you in a call!
