This is really going to be a short one because I am in a terrible condition at the moment physically (and also mentally) . I haven’t slept much since past couple of days and I am sure, with the present state of mine, its not going to happen anytime soon for next couple of days as well. Anyways, I was listening to To Phir Aao in a loop (have listened some 60 times already I believe since morning) and was checking OTN forums side by side. One thread caught my attention since the request given by the poster is really weird. Its like asking that how can I fit engine of a car of 1980 make in the most latest car available in 2010. I did ask him that what’s the reason he is willing to do so. He replied that his company’s most important program is not yet ready to get to the latest release of oracle database and also, 8i is a more reliable and easy to use version than the latest releases. Okay, I must admit, I didn’t have a smile from last couple of days on my face but this one, this thre...

Sleep and thoughts, these are like two step-sisters who really don’t like each other. Only one can stay in the room of eyes at one time. The moment both get together, you can be assured that they won’t like each other and will fight. Most of the times, its the sleep who has to run away. Thoughts never get over-powered by sleep because unlike sleep, they have no dependency on anything like eyes must be closed for example. Thoughts, along with their buddy, mind, are always around, irrespective the eyes are open or closed. There is not such a big thing to not to have sleep in the eyes but the bigger question is, what to do when you are not sleepy and can’t do what you want to do at that time too? And to make things more crispy, thoughts just keep on doing aerobics in the courtyard of your mind when you are thinking all this! I have gone mad? No, there is no such thing. I am just lost in thoughts and can’t do what I want to right now so I am just trying to make my own self smile a little b...

Last week was a almost like roller-coaster ride. There were many things happening , some were making me happy, some were making me upset. You can imagine from this that the day I landed in my hotel, it had its broadband stopped and the irony was, they were having two connections and both stopped on the same day. I was told that all would be fine in a day only but it took them 3 days to finally sort it and then too, it did work only for 1 day properly. On 4th day, it was again not working and when on the final day of my stay, it did work too, I didn’t need it much anyways since there was a specific reason that I wanted internet so much in this week. I don’t lose my calm soon but I hate it when someone tries to give me a complete nonsense like my hotel guys were doing when I was asking them about the internet thing. If the same had happened in my home, I would had made sure that within 24 hours, it is resolved and that’s exactly the time which the company promises to fix issues, whose in...

Most of the times when I shall go for the travel, its for work. Well, its not most of the times but all the time actually but still, you got it. I still have to go for that travel where I wouldn’t have to worry about work, session, rating and all such kind of things and most importantly, a travel doing which I shall be actually happy. Anyways, I shall stop about talking about “my” things and mention a wedding which I attended yesterday of my friend Pavan. I met Pavan couple of years back in Hyderabad. He joined in front of me and since the time he has joined, we have worked together on various programs and have successfully delivered them as well. To tell about Pavan, he is mostly a quite guy( not much but still he is) but very hard-working, calm, very principled , thinks so deeply about things and above all, a gem of a friend. We don’t get a chance to meet up since we live some thousands of miles away and only time I meet him is when I am out here for work. Still, whenever I am here...

Another sneak peak from the list of my favorite songs! Just like the previous two which I have put up here, I listen to this song almost daily and many times. Its from movie Awarapan and the song’s title is To Phir Aao . Its a song which is screened to portray the pain of a guy whose beloved  dies in front of him and that too, with a bullet which was meant for the guy actually. He watches his gal die in his arms and after that, just becomes a cold, stone-hearted person. This song goes along in the entire movie depicting the pain of this guy who longs for his beloved gal and asks her to come back to him by any means! It goes without saying that its an awesome musical piece and I really do like it so very much! This song has couple of versions and I shall try to put its complete version here. It would be in two parts. The first part has less music and actually is from the time when both guy and gal are together. The other half comes up some time later in the movie when the gal is ...

As I said in my last post, I shall try to put some of those song’s translations here which I love to hear so much! There are so many of good songs but there are a few which are very close to my heart and I listen them continuously, some hundreds of times at one go. Yes, I am a little crazy but that’s what I am and there is nothing what can be done about it now when I have already lived almost half of my life. Anyways, the song which I am going to put today here is from an Indian movie but is not an original song composed for it by the music composer. Its sung originally by a Pakistani singer Tassawar Khanum and I must admit, she has sung it really well. So well, that its picked up and inserted in the movie Zeher word by word . I am not in a mood to do any discussions about the entire topic of piracy, copying the music and/or stealing it as I am in a completely different mindset at the moment. Leaving all these things aside, I am just going to pick the movie’s song, in the male voice...

I always say, music is a great power. It can bring smiles on someone’s face within minutes and at the same times, it can bring ocean of tears in someone’s eyes as well. When this kind of music is combined with heart-touching lyrics, it becomes an immortal, really strong, heart-touching musical piece. There are many such songs which you can hear for hours and years without getting bored or tired. And every time you listen to them, they strike as powerfully as they do when you hear them for the first time! I have a huge listing of such songs with me which can rip the heart apart and can shake even the most hard hearted souls too. I am listening to one out that listing today and thought would translate it as well. Its from the movie Na Tum Jaano Na Hum which came years ago and somehow, I never could see it in one go. Though the movie didn’t do great on the box-office and even its musical score wasn’t really that good but it did have two, yes not one but two such songs which fit into that...

I am supposed to be on the bed at this moment when I am sitting and writing this post since I haven’t slept not even for a second in the past night. Why? Well, I won’t mention the reason of “why”  but I just to add to it, I haven’t slept much almost the entire last week. As I said, I won’t mention “why” here but the reason that I started the post from this as the opening line is that as a direct result of past sleepless night, I should have been on the bed at not here, writing this post. And to tell the truth, I was actually on the bed only before few thoughts hit my mind all of a sudden and don’t know where sleep went after that! So my eyes are wide awake, am feeling uneasy and having worries in heart. I haven’t written much in the last week. Just to summarize a long story short, I didn’t feel like sitting and writing anything. Okay, leaving it apart, let’s just talk about the last week. I was out for a program in this week and I just managed to finish it. It went for an entire ...
