A Lonely Weekend....

-

And its almost less than half an hour here in my place before it starts 13th of July, Monday, declaring the end of a weekend, a long and lonely weekend. I thought I would go to a temple but that plan backfired as the person with whom I was supposed to go, he thought that I am working on Saturday so he left me and went alone. I got a call from a friend that he would be coming to see me but later on, I got another call from him that he is busy somewhere else so he won't be able to make it this time. No issues with that as he was busy in some family matters of him. So that left me sitting in my room. I wanted to go to a shopping mall but I left that idea myself. Somehow, reading some books, listening a song (yes one song only because I liked it very much) , hanging around on the OTN forums, I spent this weekend. I have a seminar to deliver tomorrow and hopefully I shall be able to get back home after that time which is important as I came here in a rather uncomfortable health condition. Wish I can go on a break, on a vacation where when I am sitting in the flight, I don't have to carry a tech book with me. When I shall land up in my hotel room, I don't have to open book immediately and start reading for the next day. Its been a long, very long time since I had gone for anything like that. I know its not coming anytime soon but still, would be better if it could happen. Anyways. its time to listen the song for one last time before going to bed. Hope tomorrows seminar goes fine which is at the moment the biggest tension over my head.

A Poetic MasterPiece By Faraz.....

-
I am a big fan of good poetry. I am not a poet myself  but where ever I do find anything good written, I try to collect and share it. Surely enough, my first preference would always be Punjabi poetry. But there is no such thing that I wont read from any where else. Whatever is good, I try to make sure that I don't miss it! There are some poets which have created history with their writings. Late Ahmed Faraz is among those handful which wrote timeless pieces from his pen. Saying anything about him would like showing torch to the sun. So without wasting any more time, I would like to share a poetic masterpiece from him which I read today only and instantly fell in love with it. This is in Hindi and I shall translate it English in a while. Please note, this does has lots of words from Urdu as well.I shall put the meanings of those words in the end of both Hindi and English versions. First, in Hindi, Dost ban kar bhi nahin saath nibhane wala, Wohi andaaz hai jaalim ka jamane

Feelings Revealed Truly & Musically....

-
In music, out of the most pure forms of it, one is Qawalli . This is that form of music which is sung by the people who are not mere singers but devotees of God. This form of music was not a part of commercial music industry some time ago but due to its magic, its now very common to hear this in almost every where. Despite its used now in the commercial music industry, still the original form of it with minimum music instruments and claps of the singers while singing is the most popular one and remains untouchable. There are many singers who sing this form of music but some have made it a household name due to their singing. Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan   is among those very few who singers who are known as the masters of this devine music form. Out of millions of Qawalli songs available, there are some which hit straight in the heart. There is one that I am listening from some time and thought to share with you all. This one was specially recommended to me by my friend Sumit who himsel

Hello From Singapore….

-
Yes, I am at Singapore . Its been a while since I have come to this office where I am sitting right now, Suntec Tower 4 . The last time when I came here was in 2006. That was the first time when I came overseas for delivering a training program and this time again, the reason is same. Its so good to be back here and meet few persons whom I had met long time back and who actually taught me the few of the first lessons about the tactics of delivering a sessions. The session which I am handling right now is a VERY tough one and I am trying my best to keep things running smoothly. Hope all remains and goes fine. Its time to go for lunch. Been very long that I have seen food courts here at Suntec . Hope will find something to eat :-) .
