A Tough Week Came To A Happy End….

-

At times, its just so tough to finish a job, even when you have done the same job many many times before. There could be many reasons for the job to be tough but the end result still comes out to be that you end up feeling like dead after getting done with the day. The same happened with me in this week when I entered in the session of mine. The delegates didn’t want to listen to just the course contents but also wanted something “extra”-a demand which is very hard to meet!

I always wonder when delegates enter into the session and mention that the course for which they have come, is not a good course and they want to know more than what the book is talking about. From an end-user point of view, I can imagine and to a certain extent, I can even be agreed to the sentiment but from a practical point of view and from my side, its not possible always to meet such demand-especially when you didn’t know about it before(which also didn’t have helped much). There can be a lot that can be asked but when it comes to provide it, there can be numerous issues which could arise. Being on the other side of the podium is a completely different thing and you can’t feel it as long as you haven’t faced it!

Anyways, I am done with the session now (just finished it) and I believe, with whatever little I know, I was able to convince the delegates and also could answer their questions as well-at least most of them! Besides the demand of “extra”, there were many discussions that did happen in the entire week.Few were really good and few, well let’s call them good only for the sake of calling. The guys did leave with a smile on their face and quite a few did mention that it was a very good experience and session. So I believe, I was able to do an okay job-if not too good! And I believe that’s the saying too that all is well when it ends well!

I shall be at leaving for home in the morning. Its going to be a long journey back to home and also I have to start very early. It would be long, it would be tiring but as I am going to home, its completely worth it :=).

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 :-) .
