A Good End Of The Week, Finally….

-

I have just finished this week’s session of mine here at Colombo. I am not sure but some how I was having a feeling that I am not really doing well. May be it was the injury of mine that was keeping me distracted and I wasn’t paying the required attention on the work of mine or may be it was just a bad time, I really don’t know but I do feel that I didn’t do much justice with my work in the last month or so. That’s why I had finished few programs in the past, I didn’t have that feeling of achievement but rather disappointment. Now just for the record, for others I may still have done well because the criteria with which my work is checked is the rating and it wasn’t bad at all. But when you are a person who can’t be settled for anything less than the best, having an “okay” rating which may be fine for others , is not really what you want! And may be that’s why I wasn’t really very happy from myself. And I was really wishing and praying so hard that it must end ASAP!

It seems god did listen to my prayers and it did end!

The session finished on a very good note. I have been here at Colombo couple of times by now and always, I feel so happy and amazed meeting the people from here. All are so nice, humble and intelligent and its always a pleasure to come here, at least it is for me. The same was the case this time. All the participants were really nice, friendly and showed a very keen interest in hearing what I was saying. The whole week of 5 days was a very good time of exchanging a lots of knowledge from both the ends. Today, when we finished the session, all were having a smile on their face and also,all asked for my email and phone number. If you are a regular here, you must know that these are the signs according to me that the session has gone well. And not just this, the guys even took snaps with me. And not to mention that the rating that they gave was also very good! Overall, I am really happy and also thankful to the delegates for the co-operation and patience to listen to me. Thank you folks and hope we shall meet again some time in some other session soon!

So this week is over and I have a flight to catch tomorrow morning back to home. But for the next week, a really tough challenge is awaiting for me as I shall be taking over a module which I haven’t ever delivered before and got very less time to prepare for it too! But that’s next week. Its TGIF today so I can at least spend tonight watching movies on tv or try to discover some new songs and listen to them :=) .

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 :-) .
