I am sitting here in the session and not really feeling well. I guess I need some rest which I am going to try to take after finishing this session. Hopefully, weekend should bring some of it for me. What has happened? Not sure actually, all I know is that I am feeling like vomiting and head is spinning like anything. Haven’t had anything since morning except for a glass of juice so can’t blame it on the food. Whatever it is, I hope its over by tonight since there is a lot that I need to do and there is no one who is going to give me a helping hand.  I shall keep this post really short given the fact that I am still in the session and it’s not a free time for me actually but I am sitting idle at the moment as the delegates are out for tea break, I thought to mention two small things out of which one is really not important but was a nice surprise but second indeed is! As I am mostly in travels and none of that is a personal one, I get to travel via all kinds of airlines, low-cost...

Since the delegates in my session are busy doing the lab practice and I am not feeling well enough to study, I was looking for something good to read and what can be better than a piece of poetry which you find so true? And as I said in the title, it’s just two lines but what is said in these two lines, is absolutely true. Have a read, Us ki jafaon ne mujhe ek tehzeeb sikha di hai, Main rote hue so jata hun par shikwa nahi karta!   And it’s meaning in English is, Her cruelty has taught me an etiquette, I sleep while being in tears but still don’t complain!   I think I must get back to my session and see what the delegates are doing? And about the poetry, isn’t it amazing?

I am not sure why but I am not really happy with the way the session is going. I don’t know why this feeling is there but it’s there. I am not feeling well at all, fever, headache and cold are on their best at the moment. It wasn’t even 11am and my eyes were getting closed and head was spinning. Wish I could just go to home and sleep but as like always, wishes, at least of mine, are never fulfilled. Hope the day ends without any major problems coming in my way.

I have just woke up. Actually, that’s not correct to say because I didn’t sleep at all thanks to not feeling well at all. The tensed mind and sad heart were probably not enough that’s why fever, cold and headache also came to join the party. Anyways, I just read an old poetic snippet that I had with me from a long time but somehow I forgot about it. I just happened to see it in my repository last night when I was looking for something to read. It’s in Punjabi and it’s really good IMO.  I shall translate it’s meaning in English as well. Have a read, Oh badle badle lagde ne, Ohna dil uchheyan naal la laye ne! Kehnde tuhadi na lod koi, Asin sajjan hor bana laye ne! Asin akhiyan bhar k keh ditta, Jithe marji parakh k vekh lawo. Kehnde asin tuhanu warat leya, Hoon saanu tuhadi lod nai. Ohde bol goonjde dil de vich, Hoon asin haase hasne band karte. Hoon dushman labhde firde aan, Asin yaar banaune band karte!   And i...

I am not in a good mood, thanks to many things and some people but I just got the below comment on my Oracle blog and it made my day. hi Sir, i am a new guy to read your block.but i am very very thankful to you because you are sharing your knowledge with us. that is very great thing.i know your are the best human being in this universe.i pray to god who is giving every thing give every thing to u and your family ameen.i am waiting for you new book.plz tell me when it is coming. thanks I am not sure that I have really done something so good and/or I am actually so much better/good? But I am feeling really honored to hear so kind words for me. Thanks so much Riaz for being so kind, that’s all I can say.

I am not a poet by any means. But I do write some times, some random lines of poetry, thinking about some things. I am sure that if a real poet would look at my writing, they will surely give it the worst rating but there is no way that I ever believed or dared to claim that I am a poet or have a poetic sense. So continuing the trend of bad poetry done by me here , here , here , here and here , here is one more attempt of mine to write few lines of poetry. As I said all the times, I am not a poet and have no claim that what I have written is of any quality. If you think that its a really bad poetic work, believe me, I know it myself too. With that warning in mind, have a read, Aansoon chupke as bhigo denge tumhara aanchal, Jab tumhein meri mohbatt ka khyal aayega! Ik aah sunayi degi meri tumhein haule se, Jab koi purana kagaj ka tukda mera naam gunganeyga! Nam ankhon se talashogi mujhe, Khamosh hothon se tab pukarogi mera naam, Jab ik din yeh badnase...

If you are a regular here, you must have read this and also must be aware that I was at Chennai. I have finished my session which was a relatively short but it was a good one. With a holiday in between, I also got  some time to get myself relaxed a little, a not-so-often thing but a nice thing for sure. The session, in my opinion, did go well. I can’t be really sure about it as I am still waiting for the official review to come but I am still hopeful that it should be okay. Reason, well as I have mentioned couple of times before too, if the delegates, while leaving on the last day, have a smile on their face, do ask you about your email and contact details, it means that you didn’t bore them for the last few days and they did like what you said, if not much, at least somewhat and they did find out that you are a person to get in touch later too when they would have troubles with the oracle database. So on that account, I think the things went well. It was a very nice, fully pack...

I know I am late but what could I do, it was a working day for me and the internet was not working at all for me the entire day. Then I had to travel which never is a smooth sailing for me. So I got delayed in this post. Even today, despite not being well, I was actually so much busy running from here and there. What about not being well? Well, I guess got a “little” headache and also a little bit of fever not sure why. Anyways, better late than never so here it goes, a (belated) very happy Baisakhi to all of you. Hope you had a real good time yesterday celebrating it and I wish and hope that the new year would bring lots of joys, happiness and success for you. Signing off to catch some sleep because eyes and as in fact, the whole body is hurting so much badly.

Did the title of the post sound that I am really happy that I got a break between my schedule of today, thanks to the elections happening at Chennai? Well, guess what, I really was happy till yesterday and till sometime by this morning too. But that was then, right now, I am not really bothered about this holiday because some other things have taken control over my mind and the sense of having a holiday has just flew off from the window. But I still couldn’t think of any other title except the one that I have used. if it did send a wrong message, well, I can’t do anything in it. The very first thing that I got to hear today was a schedule for me that was for an overseas location. If one knows me, I am working really hard and when I say hard, it really does mean it. So given that reason, I would have accepted the schedule but I didn’t. And I shall try my best that I wouldn’t let any other schedules come along my way for the same location as well. Needless to mention, this call of mine-t...

I got an email on my personal website about this true statement asking this that how come I can be calling it an absolute true statement? Though I am not sure what’s not true about it but still, a question is a question. Instead of replying there, I thought I shall put it here itself. There is no way to measure the trueness of the statement but you know it must be true when you have heard this, “if I wanted you to be mine, I would have done it long back.”

I have reached at Chennai and would be starting up the session tomorrow. I have a feeling that it’s going to be a real tough one. Why? Well, I don’t know why because it’s a hunch but most often, my hunches do no prove to get wrong. Anyways, whatever will happen, I shall only come to know tomorrow. About the travel, it was a lighter one. There isn’t much distance from Banglore to Chennai and my flight took just an hour(or even lesser than that, about 45 minutes) to get here. I was having two options for the flight, at 6am and 2pm and I picked the later one. I thought it would be better to reach here in the evening and take some rest rather than staying the entire day here alone. Though I was alone at Banglore too but still, the place where I stay there is very lively and because of this, its easy to pass time there even just by sitting in the garden outside the hotel and watch people. So it was a correct decision to come here in the evening. It was a little scary drive though from hotel...

Though it’s supposed to be a weekend but it wasn’t for me. It was a working day for me since I happened to start this week on Tuesday because there was an official holiday in South India on Monday. I had spent two days before coming here in lot of chaos. There are a lot of things going on and at times, it just feels like that all of it is just too much. To make matters worse, at times, the loneliness comes and kills as well. I just talked to my mom when I came back and what I heard from her about what’s going on and also about her health, it just shook me up. Just about when I was lost in all these (and still I am) lost in such tensions related to family, there was another thought which was striking within my head all the time. And that was about the session which was scheduled for me for this week. Though I have taught this module for some 50 times now but still, given the client and the module combined together, there were sufficient reasons for me to be really worried about what’s...

At times, in just a line or two, a lot is said. I have written about two such short but absolutely true statements here and here . Here is another short but an absolutely true factual statement is below, If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life, they will seriously  make an effort to be in it! Tell you what, it’s really true because those who really want you to be with them, be in their lives, they would do anything to make it happen! They won’t give priority to their dreams of study in abroad, career. Why would anyone value these things than someone who loves the one truly, madly and deeply, if that’s the question you are thinking to ask, I don’t have any answer to it neither would have one ever.

In case you were not watching the final match of Cricket World Cup 2011 between India and Sri Lanka, this is just to tell that India has become the world champion ! WOOOHOOO WOOOHOOOO YEEEEEYYYYYYY! I know nothing about this game, NOTHING but still, I am so happy, I am really really so much happy! When I was born, two years after that, India did become the world champion at that for the first time. But at that time, (obviously) I had no idea what happened and how important and big it was for us! But now, after 28years of that event, when I am 30 years old, India has done it again and did it with not just any fluke or so, India did it with just pure talent! We, India, have beaten three time world champion Australia(my personal favorite)  , Pakistan in this world cup tournament and in the finals, we competed head-to-head , looked right into the eyes of our opponents , gave them a real tough competition and most importantly, won the quest! I am just so happy, so much for India, for I...

I have just come back after a really long and tiring travel. Though I am so much sleepy, tired and also hungry,  but still, I decided to write about the last two sessions of mine which I finished in the last two weeks and fortunately, both have went really well. It’s always so good to see that people actually like what you tell them and appreciate your passion about something. I do try my level best to give my best possible efforts to make a program go as smoothly as possible and the only way to know that it really did happen once I get to hear the feedback and comments of the delegates, both in the written and verbal format. The first class was relatively of an easy module. It was for the basic administration skill set and relatively, the delegates also were not very familiar with the database and it’s working. Though I love to talk about database whenever and wherever possible but discussing about with those who are completely new to it, that’s an absolute charm for me. Why? Be...
