Back, For 2 Days....

-

I got back home today morning from  a spine chilling session that I did. As I mentioned in the last post, the session was among the toughest of almost all which I have taken so far. The guys were amazing and there were some very interesting discussions that did happen at times. As I always take that as my take-away back to home from a session, so in a way, it was very much beneficial for me. I am hopeful that I was able to satisfy the guys some what and their expectations were met. Well, all had a smiling face so I guess I did achieve it ;-).

I mentioned "for 2 days" in the title. Yes , just today when I got back home, I got a news that I am going to the same place again and guess what, I shall be there on new year eve as well. Now I certainly don't mind working but who would have thought to organize a session on a new year eve? That's like too much of work isn't it? When the entire world is going to welcome new year, what I shall be doing, trying to discuss some concepts about Oracle works, wow that doesn't so nice does it? I was like , WHAT ON NEW YEAR EVE! But I don't control stuff so I guess I have to go in anyways. Again this isn't going to be a joy ride but a roller coaster ride, so fingers are crossed, let's see what happens!

Despite that I shall be traveling on a party night, there is so much of cold and I certainly , am not interested doing travels in this chilled weather. Besides the fact that the cold outside makes movement a real tough task to do, there are other issues as well. The first and foremost is, cancellation of flights due to bad weather. Yeah that happens a lot in this time of the year and I tasted it first hand just yesterday when I had my original booking canceled and I was given  an another carrier itself to take me back home. Well now, certainly I shouldn't be complaining much as I did make it back to home but seeing this happening is not a very good sign for future travels. Hope that my flights will fly and will fly safely without getting lost(and making me lost along with them) in this foggy season :-).

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 hi...

Shiv Kumar Batalvi, A Legend....

-
There are so many writers in this world and there is just an ocean of literature. But despite the fact that all the writers are good and the entire literature of the world is nice, I still love Punjabi literature and its writers the most. You may call it whatever you want but this is what I really love and it has reasons. And out of all, the foremost reason is that no culture is as rich in its wealth as Punjabi culture and I have yet to read some thing which is as romantic or as painful or as joyful as Punjabi writer's writing are. There is no disrespect to anyone else or any other language but this is what my choice is! There are a lot of writers but few only have power to become immortals with their work. Only some chosen ones have a power to write fire with their words. Out of those few, Shiv Kumar Batalvi  stands apart. It wont ever happen that anyone would be able to touch even the heights where he is with his writing. Its a pity that Shiv had to leave this world so early b...
