Aman's Blog....

Few days back, I posted blog post of a video of one of the best write up   of Debi Makhsoospuri . I shall say here again what I said over there as well, there is no one who can match the quality and thinking of Debi and when you are talking about the people who hurt their loved ones and the pain they give to them, no one says it better than Debi. The following is not a song( as like the last video) but just few lines of poetry, again penned by Debi only. The only difference is that this time, they were recited by Manmohan Waris at a festival which happened in Canada. Manmohan is one of the best singers that we have in Punjabi industry. He, along with his brother Kamal Heer, presents a show called Punjabi Virsa( Punjab's Heritage), an awesome , live event where both Manmohan and Kamal, along with their third brother, Sangtar, presents some of the best songs of them. This poetry is written by Debi and hits very hard deep within the heart, especially if you are a person who has hur...

Some times , some things just hurt you so much and leave never healing wounds over your heart and soul! All you wish is that some how , some way, the pain of those wounds get relaxed but it just never happens! Despite of your best efforts, the pains of these wounds don't leave you even for a moment. You want to say but find no one besides who is ready to listen. You just feel all alone in this whole big crowded world. What would you do? How would it feel? Assume there is some one whom you always tried to help and guide when ever he needed that. You always stood with him when no one else thought that its a good idea and he really deserves it. You helped him in his toughest times , not for seeking anything in return but just because that's what a real friend would do for his friends all the time. Yet you see, one fine day, when he got all what he wanted, he leaves without even sharing that news with you. He meets all while leaving just leaving you aside. Even the news , that he...

At times, you are asked to tell about someone and when you start talking, some times, smiles come over your face and some times, tears fill up your eyes. There can be millions of reasons for both but most of the time people who listen, don't bother about both. These following lines explain the pain of that guy who is asked to talk about some thing and he starts talking about his beloved, doing which , his eyes gets filled with tears. Just a few who know the reason, understand the reason of those tears and keep quite but rest just applauds and leave. No one comes to you when you are crying, people are ready to share just your smiles , this is a sad but true fact and this applies to even those, whom you always thought would do share it! Have a read of these lines. These are in Punjabi. I shall explain their meaning in English in a while, Mehfil laggi c yaaran di, Ohna mainu v maan naal bulaya c! Na janda tan v tan kiven, Vasta tera jo paya c! Jadon keha gaya kujh bo...

Its not all the time that we go and share our pains, joys, happiness, success, failures with all. Its just very few people who actually are there in anyone's life who got access to those inner sides of the other person which remain unseen for the entire world always. Those few persons are always the most trusted and hand picked people who we always believe that they would stand beside us in all the times, all the conditions, doesn't matter what happens! We give  them all the rights, share with them our most inner pains, joys and sorrows. When you are crying, there is nothing else that you need except a shoulder on which you can rest your head and cry to your heart full. It may be there that for the rest of the world, you have to keep a smiling face for some reasons but you are alone, you do want to cry like a child. You do want to rest your head in someone's lap and sleep for some time, at least for some moments when you don't feel any pain, any sadness. And I am sure, ...

Debi Makhsoospuri is one of the most respected names in the Punjabi music industry. An extremely talented writer, lyricist and now, a very successful singer as well, Debi has done it all. It is said that he has made many who's who of Punjabi music industry by giving them his songs to sing. One of the biggest traits of Debi is that when he writes, its always is in a very simple and easy to understand language yet its so powerful that it shakes you deep down up till your soul. He writes what you, me or any other common person feels and wants to say but can't seem to find words for it. Debi gives words to those common man's feelings through his words and each word in his poetry is like a burning fire. Debi has released many albums so far and you can hear them all here on PZ10. Though all the albums and their songs are just awesome, yet Debi's most favorite work is in his live shows , in which he sings those poetries which are not a part of any album. He has released th...

Yes I was out for the entire day today. I had to get a personal travel related work to get finished , which couldn't be done without me being present in the office. I was supposed to go on this Monday for the same but as I am not feeling well,  I deferred it up till today. If you ever plan to visit any government office, at least here in my place, you must start as early as possible so that you can get the work finished. And also, if you are going to take help of someone for your work, make sure you don't believe on the person's capability just because he is been referred by some one known. And the fun part, I myself didn't follow both of the advices that I just gave. I thought to leave early in the morning but I slept very late last night( at about 5am, yeah 5am ) so I woke up only at about 8am. Not a good thing to do when you planned to leave actually at 7am. Why I didn't sleep? Well that's a different story altogether , thanks to some thoughts, some worries a...

This surely sounds like a fairy tale but its real and just shows that when you love someone truly,  there is nothing in this world which can separate you from your beloved! All one needs is a wish, a strong will to be with his/her beloved, that's all! If you have it than there is nothing , no power in this world would be able to separate you from your beloved, doesn't matter how hard it may appear to look from actually happening! But alas, this is not some thing which all understand and feel. For some, getting their goals, achieving their dreams of getting education in abroad, achieving a better career is far more important than anything and anyone else! Still people like the couple in the news are the reason because of which this word  love, is still alive in this world. God bless this couple , Lost love letter reunites couple after 16 years!

Some times, in just 1-2 lines, a lot is said which shakes you till within. Be it a feeling of joy or pain, both can be explained in a very small space leaving an impression with the deep meaning underneath that short space. Such kind of thing happened today when my friend Manushee posted two quotes on her Twitter timeline, reading which made me get lost in so many thoughts. I am putting those quotes here but I won’t be explaining their meanings or I must say, their true meanings, over here. I leave it for you to understand it yourself because some things are better left unsaid as words can’t give justice to all the expressions. Have a read, I dream of you as I fall asleep. I cry, I yearn for your one word, just one kind word but you never say it. I wait and I go to sleep in tears all over again! And this is the other one, I wish you had understood my silence as I understand yours! As I said, I won’t be explaining what these quotes are trying to say but if you ask me, I can wr...

I passed an exam today and I wanted to write about it so much. But before I could start it, my mood has been shattered, thanks to the "business" of the people. So would talk about that exam some other time. At the moment, I shall share few lines which my friend Amardeep sent to me and  which are just awesome! These depict the pain of that guy whose heart is wounded by his own love and he is trying to describe the pain in words somehow. I loved it in the very first read so thought would share. Its in Hindi and I shall explain the meaning in English in a while. Have a read, Pathhron ko haal-e-dil sunane chale hain, Ruthi hui kismat ko manane chale hain! Nakaam hasrton ka janaza uthaye hue, Hum unse wafa nibhane chale hain! Wo bewafa the aur hum badnaseeb, Ye baat jamane ko batane chale hain! Sawan ki ghatao tum kal umadana, Aaj to hum aansu bahane chale hain! Jahan banaya tha humne kal aashiana, Aaj usi shaakh ko jalane chale hain! ...

Its almost going to be 11 hours since morning that I am sitting in front of the pc and trying to occupy myself in complete time wastage activities. I should had gone and had my lunch and probably had some sleep too because I couldn't sleep last night as well. But rather than doing that, I am sitting over here, writing this blog, trying to find out something(anything) to do which eventually can make me forget that how much tense, upset and lonely I am feeling at the moment(yes again)! I should be sleeping , you may say, so let me tell you that I did try this, in fact I am trying to do this since last many years but somehow, sleep doesn't seem to find a way to my eyes. So what are the things which are making me upset? Unfortunately, there isn't one but many which are happening simultaneously at the moment. There is something which just happened few hours before. I am not sure what I am supposed to do? Some things are just not in my control and all I can do is just sit and w...

I just watched a new show being aired on the national television which is the replica of a very popular show  The Moment Of Truth . Not sure that I can say that I liked it or not? May be the anchor who is hosting it, is not that strong personality as he should be to host such kind of heavy and intense show. The concept is simple, one has to come and answer some questions which are already asked to the person and the answer of those are verified by the lie detector machine. If they give all right answers or even few right at certain levels, they would get a cash prize. They can quit the play any time and they would still get the cash. But if they would speak any lie and even a single one, they would lose and have to go back with nothing. Questions would start from simple , general things and would go to more intense and deep levels. It would require guts to answer some of the questions in public and on national tv and it may very well happen, some answers would break even families. ...

Yes I got back this morning. I haven't been informed yet that how the seminar went officially but I believe it went well. It was a real tough tour with the health issues. I had to go to a nearby hospital daily to get the dressing done. But it was a commitment that I had made long time back so I only had to finish this programmed.  But all said and done, its over now and I am glad that I was able to finish it up leaving a smile over everyone's face. I shall be at home now for some time to get completely recovered. I don't have any schedules assigned to me at the moment and I hope things remain the same for a while. Time to listen some songs while having medicines :) .

And its almost less than half an hour here in my place before it starts 13th of July, Monday, declaring the end of a weekend, a long and lonely weekend. I thought I would go to a temple but that plan backfired as the person with whom I was supposed to go, he thought that I am working on Saturday so he left me and went alone. I got a call from a friend that he would be coming to see me but later on, I got another call from him that he is busy somewhere else so he won't be able to make it this time. No issues with that as he was busy in some family matters of him. So that left me sitting in my room. I wanted to go to a shopping mall but I left that idea myself. Somehow, reading some books, listening a song (yes one song only because I liked it very much) , hanging around on the OTN forums, I spent this weekend. I have a seminar to deliver tomorrow and hopefully I shall be able to get back home after that time which is important as I came here in a rather uncomfortable health conditio...

Alright so I am done with the program and I must say, I am really satisfied the way it went. As I already mentioned, delegates were really nice, co-operative and intelligent. We had a very good time through out the week and surely, discussed a lot about many technical topics. Its always great to have the discussions in the session. This just proves that delegates are finding the session interesting and worth of their time which is very important as they spend a lot of their working time in the session, causing them lots of pending work which they have to finish afterwards. So its must that they find the session and discussions important and worth listening. So seeing this happening is always satisfying. And the last part is always important for me to see that while leaving, whether they have smiles on their faces or not which they indeed had. Moreover, the candidates wrote a lot of kind words about me in the final rating for which I can only say that I am really not worthy for any of t...

I need to take a decision tomorrow. Its one of the things which I wanted to happen from a very long time and which is very important for my professional life. Now, I have been asked to come and get it and the irony is that I am thrown by circumstances at that point, where I have to see an other side of picture too. This does mean that there are almost certain chances that I have to let go this thing, at least for some time. I don't know what to do, as much as I want whatever it is , for me, as much as that other end and its thoughts are stopping me for not going towards it and just let it pass with the hope that there would be many more future opportunities to get it. I talked to my family which obviously  said to go ahead but I know, doing so would just bring so many issues on top of the already present ones. Not sure what to do, really don't! Just like above, I wanted to get one another thing for me. I saw it with my friend over here while having lunch the other day. I had ...

It will be short as I just got a phone call from home which have put my mood completely off. Things are okay so far with the program. We got couple of cancellations due to which the number of delegates got lessen. But still, all the delegates who are present at the moment are very nice, sharp and co-operative. At the moment, things are fine but this was the easy part up till today. From tomorrow, the real deal starts when we shall be going much more deeper into the session. Hope all stays fine and things would just get more better.

Well, yes indeed, it was a very cool travel. Normally I travel in the bus( which is no issue for me since I am doing it from so long) and by this time when I am writing this, I am still on the way. But because, I am having an early flight given this time and because of that, a train ticket( thanks to my accident) , I am actually at the moment on the airport itself, free from check in and other things, writing this blog post. The travel was indeed a lighter one as the train was an air conditioned one and after the train, in half an hour, I am on the airport. So I am not feeling tired at all despite the fact that I woke up at 4am to start the day. Now there would be a wait for 2 long hours before I would get into the flight. I am not sure what I do with the people who look with strange eyes to someone who is having bandages wrapped around  :-). I am seeing couple of new shops open at the terminal. I wanted to get some thing for myself but I guess, I shall take it some other time :-...

I didn't think that I had to go but it seems that it is inevitable. I don't have any choice but to leave despite of my health. There are 2 programs which got scheduled and there is no alternative except myself for them. Its going to be really tough to travel, work in the condition in which I am at the moment though. Both the programs are completely new for me and this would just make the things much more harder. Let's see what happens? I shall be leaving tomorrow and hope everything goes well and fine. Wish me luck guys and pray that I would be back in one piece and by myself :-) .

If you come over here often, you must be aware about this fact that there hardly is any time when I don't meet with an accident or in other words, I always meet with some accident( pick whatever you like) :-) . But today what happened, in that there is no fault of anyone else but only I am responsible. And it did teach me two important lessons of the road too. What. you still didn't get it, I met with an accident , yes again :-) . And this time, its a "little bit" severe! Before I talk about my condition, let me talk about the lessons that I won't probably forget ever. The very first lesson is, one must not get lost in the thoughts when he is in command of the driving. Be the thoughts of joy or pain, one must not think anything and should only look at the road ahead as if you are too busy thinking, you may not see what's coming ahead and by the time you actually come to know, it may be too late! I am so much upset over few people and some things from some ti...

I just got this in my mail and I loved it so thought to share it with you all here! Like they say, a picture is worth of thousand words!     My friend Amandeep wrote these lines sitting in my home some time back. I guess, they are just so true. Entire credit for this writing is to him. I am just putting them up here. These are in Punjabi. I shall explain the meaning in English in a while, have a read, Maut pichon chitaa tey sowaangey goorri neend, Saah jindgi ney taan saukha koi lainn nahi denna! Sab shikway tey shikayataan kar lainniyaa dafan, Gilla dostaan da udhaar koi rehann nahi denna! Ik maut di chup lammi tey ik kabar di tanhai, Lafz jindgi dey bolaan nu koi kehann nahi denna! Jindgi mehmaan saadi maut mejbaan hai, Chaa mejbaan da adhoora koi rehann nahi denna! Ki karogey merey pichon? Do gharriyaa bas ro k bhull jaogey, Jad nishaan meri yaad da v mai koi rehann nahi denna!   And here is the translation of it in Eng...

I just read these lines over a profile of a friend's friend. Not sure what to say except this that if this is the mentality, I really don't think we are going into a right direction. Have a read, I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, that's okay!
