Sleepless Night, Yet Again....

-
I didn't get time to write before I was leaving this time. It wasn't long enough too that I was at home. I left the next day only after writing this. And there is no time that I could get in these days to write anything. Today also wasn't any exception as I am just so much tired and feeling so weak. By the time I am back in the hotel, I am in the position that I can fall anywhere. May be its too much travel that I am doing since last 2 months and/or the impact of constant travels are becoming visible. Not sure what is there? So what's the exception that I am writing at almost midnight today, you may ask! well, no other reason but that I can't sleep. After spending almost 3 hours on the back, turning upside down, there is no sleep in my eyes. There are so many thoughts in the mind, so many things going on that even though I am feeling so damn tired, I am still not able to get sleep for few moments even!

So what to do when you are not able to sleep? Read poetry and listen to music ;-)! Yep,I am doing the same right now despite knowing that its not going to get me sleep but will make me more awake! And sometimes, you get across something which shakes your soul even. I don't know to call me lucky or unlucky that at this moment when I was already not able to sleep and was getting bombarded with painful thoughts, I came across the following poetry which just shook me! Have a read,

Uske sapnon ko poora karne ki zidd thi meri Faraz,
Usne azzaadi maangi aur maine khud ko mita diya!

And here is its translation in Engish,

I was committed to make her every single dream come true,
She asked from me freedom and I got myself destroyed!

Some times, few words tell you a tale of a life time isn't it? Its going to be a long night tonight I guess!

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 :-) .
