Australia, Thailand, India, Cancelled Cancelled Cancelled....

-

Its "the cancellation day" today! It doesn't happen very often but this time, all that happened with my tours is that they are canceled. Some are canceled by me and some got canceled on their own. I was supposed to leave tomorrow for a program within India, for which I got the news that its canceled now. There were two international programs, one was in Melbourne and another in Bangkok. I had volunteered myself for the Melbourne program in last year June and put a lot of efforts to get it too. But I opted out from it  in this January so for that also, I got the confirmation today only that its unassigned from me now. Why I opted out ? I don't like the weather of Melbourne that's why ;-) ! The same program was supposed to be done in Bangkok and it was also assigned to me with the Australia program. As I am not going to Melbourne, so automatically, this got canceled too. That's a lot of cancellations right :-) ? Good thing is that I shall get some time to stay at home. I am not feeling well so I hope my health would get recovered a bit in this time span.  The only issue is that I have to explain now to my friend Raman who is in Melbourne itself that why I am not coming because I had a LONG talk with him when I started working over it. Besides the fact that I was going to meet him after almost 3 years , he had asked me to bring lots of stuff from here for both, him and his wife and even I told him to do couple of  things for me over there.  Let's see how I shall answer all of his queries, will be tough to do , I know.

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...
