Some Time, It’s Too Much….

-

I haven’t been able to update the blog from some time. In fact, it’s been 6 months as I was told yesterday. Though there have been many thing that I did plan to write about e.g. how my team and I had been able pull through a very successful Oracle event at Gurgaon, about the tidbits of the travels and many more such things. But lately, more precisely, this year, I have been much more busy than how much normally I am. At this moment, I am writing this post sitting at the lounge at the airport.

I have concluded a session for a senior group of people last week at Chennai. Though the session was very rigrous but the entire group of people made it very interesting with their interactions, discussiosns and most importantly, with their positivity. We spent  a great deal of time discussing a LOT about Oracle database and in-between, there were small informal talks as well about the place, about floods,  about how Chennai was so cool this time(it was much pleasant weather this time there) and about food. The delegates were so kind and mentioned so many kind words about me at the end of the session. Two of them did figure about my books etc. and have asked me to send a copy with my signature on it. I have promised to do so once I shall be back at home. Most importantly, every one was very happy and a smile on their face—something which is a clear sign for me that I was able to do my work properly.

From Chennai, now I shall be heading to Pune. This would be a session that I am going to conduct for the folks for whom I have conducted already two sessions. Let’s see how the session goes. In this year, I have been to Pune couple of times and though I have still not seen the real Pune city, I have been staying at Vits Hotel. It’s not always that I am happy with the stay at a hotel and it’s even more rare that the hotel staff impresses me in any ways. But this place is different. Not only the hotel is very nice(it’s a 4-star), the food is excellent but most importantly, the staff is amazing. I have rarely found hotel staff being so friendly and helpful. I was told that they find me very friendly and are always very happy to have me as a guest with them. But I believe, the staff is really very good. Yep, I am going to the same hotel this time as well and looking forward to meet the excellent people one more time. Other than that, I am so much tired and exhausted. The only thing that I am looking forward to do is to have a long nap once I reach.

It’s about time for my flight so I shall go now and get a cup of coffee. And speaking about coffee (and yet another thing that I did plan to share but couldn’t ), I have been Starbucks Gold Card holder from quite some time now. Not that’s like owning an American Express Black Card but still, I haven’t seen anyone so far carrying a Gold Card at any Starbucks where I have been to. And I am sure, there won’t be too many crazy people like me who have so much of coffee, right?

It’s time now. I shall be going now. Hopefully, I shall not be posting another post after another 6 months.

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...
