I Am Trying....

-

 Okay so before I am going to hear that I said I shall post in the weekend and I didn't, I know. I tried but it was just so busy. But I am trying. And this is just that. Me trying to keep up the updates.

I am at the airport now. It's been rough two weeks. Though work wise, it was not so bad. The group of young guys and girls, I was working with, were really good. They were attentive, inquisitive and definitely friendly. In their own words, "these are the first two sessions, where we haven't fallen asleep not for a moment. You have been amazing". Thanks a lot for the kind words fellas. It's been amazing to travel and work with you guys after a long gap. Thanks for having me and hopefully, we meet again soon in some other program.

So the tough part was the commute to the office and back. My ankle hasn't healed. And since I had to climb a bridge and then walk towards (and back) the office on foot, let's just say it was not easy. It's been easily around 5kms walk daily for me.  It could be good but with the swelling on the ankle, I didn't really look forward to it. 

The other tough part was food. It's been a while since I had been here. And to my surprise, despite for the online food order apps, there are so many options, but I didn't like the taste of most of the places. Some time it was so bad that I had to go and have something else from somewhere. Like Subway. Hotel didn't have the food option. Actually they did but it was a collab with a restaurant that was charging exorbitant prices. Worse, I was told that the taste is even bad. And I kind of noticed it too cos the breakfast was from that hotel only. Let's just say that it was not great. 

Anyway, somehow the work is done. I have a night flight. I thought I shall come to the airport after the checkout and will sit inside. But I was told that it's only allowed within the span of five hours. So I had to sit and wait outside the airport. So as usual, I grabbed a cup of coffee and watched The Polar Express movie, again. 

Hopefully, the flight will depart on time. Let's see when I come back here now next.

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 himsel

Hello From Singapore….

-
Yes, I am at Singapore . Its been a while since I have come to this office where I am sitting right now, Suntec Tower 4 . The last time when I came here was in 2006. That was the first time when I came overseas for delivering a training program and this time again, the reason is same. Its so good to be back here and meet few persons whom I had met long time back and who actually taught me the few of the first lessons about the tactics of delivering a sessions. The session which I am handling right now is a VERY tough one and I am trying my best to keep things running smoothly. Hope all remains and goes fine. Its time to go for lunch. Been very long that I have seen food courts here at Suntec . Hope will find something to eat :-) .
