And I Am Back....

-

I got back this morning. It was part bumpy, part smooth tour. Fortunately, it was smooth where it was supposed to be, for the program. The session went well I guess and all the delegates were happy. We had some very good discussions and had a great time. The delegates were very supportive, cooperative and keen to learn, all ingredients of a good and interesting session. I hope the delegates enjoyed the program the same as much I did. I had the pleasure to hear some very nice comments at the end from them for which I really am not worthy and just can say, I am really thankful for all of those kind words! Over all, a very nice program ended up nicely as well!

I thought that I would come back home on time but its always that when I think/plan something, it doesn't happen like that. When I got at the bus stand, I found the most biggest crowd present over there which was the largest from any time that I can recall from the past. When I tried to find the reason of this, a shocking revelation came that there were no buses which were going anywhere. Almost all the counters were either closed( which means, locked and closed) or were just empty with no one to answer that when the bus would come and when the tickets would be given for it? I spent an hour trying to find some solution of this shocking situation but nothing worked out. There was no one to help and all the passengers were just as clue less as I was :-) . So finally  I decided to use my traveling skills and I asked the conductor of a bus which was supposed to leave in next 30 minutes and requested him that I need to get back my home as I am not feeling well( which is true as well, I am not feeling well. For "what happened", keep on reading). So he agreed and asked me to sit and luckily I got a seat as well. Finally, at the scheduled time, bus started and I had a sigh of relief. Though I had a seat for me but due to rush there were many passengers who were standing as well. Just like them, there was an old person who was standing just besides my seat. Now, in my opinion, its a sheer shameless act that when an old person is standing, a young guy/gal should keep on sitting on his/her seat. Though the travel was going to take a very long time but still I decided to get up and offered my seat to that old person. He was really very happy and told me that now a days, this kind of thing doesn't happen. Well, all I said to him that I don't know about others but if I do this only all the time. He was very happy and after about 3 hours, he asked me to sit as well! It was tough to stand for a long time( I stood for about 5 hours) but still it was satisfying as well. Finally, I got back home this morning!

Okay so what happened to me? Well if you are reading this blog from some time, you would be aware that I am having fever from some time and its not going. I am not having very heavy coughing or sneezing or vomits or any other thing like this but still I am asked to go and get tested from the H1N1 Flu aka Swine Flu. I did go as well today but its a national holiday for today as well as for tomorrow and the next day is Sunday, so all the government hospitals, where this test is conducted are closed. So the nearest I would get tested would be Monday hopefully. Let's see what comes up? I have canceled a program of mine which was starting from this Monday for the very same reason. At this moment, when I am writing this up, I am feeling the fever. I just hope that I am fine and there wouldn't be any issues. Besides that I am just so much upset over some stupid logics and over some people as well. But at the moment, its time to have a cup of tea and listen to some cool music which would make me forget that I am having fever :-) .

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...
