Nothing Like A Cup Of Coffee….

-

I normally stay in this hotel, The Elite whenever I am at Banglore. Though we have choices of couple of guesthouses here, but the issue is that those menu of those guesthouses are fixed. This means, you have to eat only what would be provided. The other major issue is that none of the guesthouses have any internet connection. Yes, you heard it right, there is no internet connection given in these guesthouses because of “company policy” . Not sure what kind of policy it is which demands that doesn’t let people who work in IT not having  an internet connection! Anyways, so this hotel is nice, can’t say the one where I stay is royalish one but its okay. There have another property about which I came to know today morning only which sounds like that “royal" one and I shall check it some time soon. Also, I met the owner of the entire chain and guess what, he is from Jallandhar, a city just at a distance of just one hour drive from my city, a Punjabi guy! Isn’t that nice? How did I meet him? Well, thanks to my habit of talking to everyone and anyone actually. I was having my (bad) breakfast today morning when I saw this guy roaming in the breakfast area. So I said “Hi” to him and he replied with a “Hi” . He was probably inspecting the dining area and he asked me, is everything fine? Hmm so a guest won’t ask another guest this right? So I did guess that he was from management and I was right. He sat opposite to me on the same table and asked about me. I told him that I stay here quite often , almost every time when I visit Banglore. That was it! He told me about him, his businesses and gave me his business card and asked me to contact him if I would have any issues ever with the stay or something! Nice! Here is how room looks where I am normally put up,

room

Looks nice right! Yes that’s my backpack and shoes there :-) ! And it was taken yesterday evening, pretty clean room given the fact that a guy lives in it right :-) !

Even though the hotel is good , some times, some small things get messed up. For example, today’s breakfast was just bad and tea was even worse than it! I am having a real bad pain in my right leg for god-knows-what reason and also having a not-so-good mood! So what you do when you have a really upset mood, you have so much of pain in your leg and top of that, you get a really bad breakfast! Well, I couldn’t think of anything else but to have a cup of coffee and fortunately for me, an outlet of Barista which is just besides my hotel. So I just went there. If you know me, I mostly would go to Cafe Coffee Day but its not there anywhere around me and I didn’t want to take  a cab/auto just to have a cup of coffee. And since I have already been at that outlet, I knew they are good. So I went there and ordered this,

coffee

Its Barista Blast and an Italian vegetarian sandwich. I must say, it was really good after having a bad breakfast. I asked the guys that what are the timings of the outlet and they told me, its from morning 7.30am to 12:00pm. Wow! So this means, I can go there any time whenever I have a tough day (which I am having a lot these days for many reasons) . Sounds like a good idea! I have got tons of things to do which I am not sure how I would do since I am having a bad pain in the leg and also a not-so-good mood either. Hope I shall be able to do something productive than just being lost in dark valleys of thoughts. I hope not!

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...
