Travel Time....

Yup I am leaving today. Not sure how things would go this time as the both module and the client are tough. I am not having a good feeling inside. And on top of all this, blasts did happen yesterday only in New Delhi. Not sure what's going to happen ? Let's see.

A Black Day....

Its a sad day today because another  bomb blast  happened in New Delhi today afternoon. There was a similar incident of serial bomb blasts  two weeks ago. It just happened a day after since I got back to home and this time it did happen  a day before when I am going to leave for New Delhi. I am not sure what is the purpose of those who are doing all this and to be really frank, I don't give a damn for whatever their logic may be for doing all this? Killing innocent people for just our own selfishness is just a mere act of cowardness and nothing else. Its really sad to see this happening in the capital of the nation as well. The city must be secure to its fullest but I guess the truth is far away from this. Not sure what's more going to come? I know I can't do a single thing for those who have lost their loved ones without having any faults at all. All I can do is pray to god and wish that their souls may rest in peace.

An Afternoon At Salon....

I was planning to go for a hair cut. It was long time due. Well in my case, long time doesn't mean months, its actually weeks due to my hair style ;-) .So it was almost quite a time and I wanted to go for it now since I am leaving for my travels(yes again) pretty soon. So yesterday I planned to go for it. I was also feeling very much dryness on my face from some days. Now I am not a very much caring kinda guy when it comes to my own self. So I generally don't bother about what's going on with me much. But this time, I was feeling an itchiness and I wanted to do something about it. So as usual. I asked my sister who is an expert in all this and she recommended me to go for quite a lot of packs and all that.  Well now, I am not THAT keen too. Okay I thought I about taking some face clean sort of stuff but that I was double minded to go for it or not? One, the time spent would be too much and second is cost. I am not really so much fond of tons of bucks over this sort of thin

Google's Phone, Believe It Or Not....

Google  is everywhere over the web. They have been proved to be numero uno in search. They brought their own web browser, Chrome  available also. And we thought what next? At least I thought , heck what can be next? So the answer is phone and a mobile phone. I heard that, no its not a gimmick. Its a truth. Google is working on( almost worked upon) its mobile phone product, Android  which is under development and will be hitting the market some where around next year. According to this demo video  , this looks promising in features and for developers , its going to be a BIG opportunity as Google has announced 10 million dollars cash prize for the best developed app. Well, I don't know how its going to be actually as a product and its really tough to say what would be my opinion about as its still a under-construction project. But things are going to get hotter for Apple's Iphone and HTC's Touch Diamond. Good for us :-).

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

A Painful, Very Painful Story....

Love is the sweetest feeling in this world. Its one of those feelings which not everyone can enjoy. Those who could taste it, those are really lucky but there are some unlucky ones too who had not got the sweet taste out of it. They got a pain which would kill them slowly day by day for the rest of their life. And belive me , that pain is not bearable. Its better to die once and for all rather than dying every day , every moment. And the irony is even when we know that we are going to end up with lots of pain, we still can't stop loving that some one special. Despite knowing that all we are going to get is just pain, a broken heart, its not possible to stop being in love. Don't know why? I got a forwarded email from my friend just now. It just shook me and I couldn't stop my self from putting it here. Have a read of it. If you have ever loved and lost it, you would understand the pain hidden in it and the pain of the guy who ended his life by the end of the story. Have a

Yup I Am Alive....

Okay so its quite some time since I have come back to home but I have not written anything here. Lots of you must be thinking that I am dead. Well this post is only to mention that no its still not true and good days are yet to come because I am still alive ;-). Yes a little busy in some personal stuff that's why not able to write much. But I guess, I shall be writing from today onwards, you can see its already started. I am working on couple of things and that's including my own website too. So lets see what comes up? Do come back to have a read of random ramblings.

Back....

Yes I got back yesterday. It was an easy program. I must say that the guys were really very good. All seemed to be very friendly and did participate in the program very well. In fact, I had lunch with couple of them and all sounded very nice to me. There was one guy Abhishek who was the lead in the group and I must say, I have not seen many who can be techies and can still crack jokes, a very nice guy! To my amazement, in the last 2 programs, things which never happened before did happen. I never saw in any program, especially in a private event, people clapping after the program. But in my last program at Hyderabad, it did happen. And in this program, Abhishek took couple of group snaps and especially 2 of mine alone. I can just say that it was a great honor for me. I hope that program went well and guys were happy from it. All went smiling so I guess it wasn't too bad ;-)! That said, there is some thing sad that too did happen yesterday. I came back on Friday night and yesterd

Back, Extremely Tired But....

I got back today morning. It was a very a tiring trip. I have not spent 3 weeks at one place ever but this time I did and rather traveling every week almost 150kms. Well travel is okay but the last week which I spent, that was both tiring and grueling. Guys were much more experienced than me and were way more senior than me. This was 4th program that I did for that company and I came to know that I was called on a "special request". This gave me two different kind of feelings, one that was a real "proud" and "happy" sort of because of the honor that they gave me by putting my name as a special request, second was a chill sent down to my spine that I must keep myself up to their expectations. So it was not a very smooth sailing. But thanks to the guys, everything went well. There were many guys in the group whom I met almost 2 years back in the same premises and they recognized me instantly. I never experienced that people clapped after the program and tha

Another Browswer Kid In Da House, Google Chrome....

So Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Safari were not consuming enough space in the browser war game. So here comes Google with its own boy in the arena, Google Chrome . Now I have tried it out and yes it is "fast" and I shall say some sites that I use every day, they were very fast. I yet have to test it with my full browsing sessions which are of about 25 tabs open in which I am jumping back and forth all the time,for that I have to see how Chrome works. As per some of the messages in the Chrome Video, story behind Chrome , it becomes slow after 1 hour, I yet have to see it does or not. Well I guess it does or doesn't but this would certainly give other browser giants a heart attack or may they already got it ;-).

All About Aquarian Man....Again!

Few days back, I wrote a post about Aquarian Man  which is me. I found that one quite near to be to my self. Today  when I was sitting over my guest house manager's desktop, I found some more informaion about Aquarian Man so thought will share with you all. Well I find this also quite near-to-be-true. If you know me, let me know how much its true about me. Have a read: Hot-hearted man who likes to do thing his way. He can suddenly decide to do something without thinking of it's outcome. He is the type of guy with an inside energizer, so if you fall in love with this type of guy be "patient", even if you have to follow him a bit. His creative mind could create fantastic idea any time. If you do not understand or can not follow him, you won't be with him for long. A man in this Zodiac will less likely to have a pale skin, and if he has a scar, it would be on his face or on his head. He moves very fast and very energetic, and he has a very self confident in himself

Two Gone, One More Left To Go....

No I am not on any killing spree, I was talking about my programs. I have finished another one yesterday. Now there is one more to go at this place. Its been a long trip here but so far, so good that's all that I can say! This program had the same thing that the last program had, lots of people, lots of respect and treatment like a star to us. Everything was great except for one thing that my venue was about 200kms from my hotel. The travel was a killer. That was the only thing which was a problem. There were so many things that happened in this program which never happened before. Well to start from, I never traveled so far to conduct my program. So that was the first big shock. The next one was that before we would start, principal of the the host college asked me and another guy to give short speeches about the program. Now the other guy was a master in that as he is doing this kind of thing from a long time. But poor me never touched a microphone before ever. And despite that

Few Lines Touching Heart & Revealing A Story....

Alot of times, few lines when we read, touch our hearts and we are forced to sit back and think about them if not many times still atleast for once. But its not often that few lines do two things and that is that they do touch our hearts but some where they tell a story of our lives also. Here are few lines which are describing something similar. These lines are depicting the story of a guy who have seen the real colors of every one and is telling what he is feeling now. These lines are in Punjabi. I shall explain their meaning in English in a while. Have a read, Ae khushi kade sade ghar v muskrandi aa, Hauli hauli mukk chale ne saade dil de chaa! Hauli hauli mukk chale ne saade dil de chaa! Pio v changa maa v changi,main maadi aulaad! Ghar dean de supne saare keete main barbaad! Dil ne keha jo mann liya main,a llah hai gawah! Hauli hauli.... Hauli hauli.... Tera mera ki rishta ae, samaj saki na tun! Chitti chadar de vich ik din takk laina mainu! Hanju akhan de vich bhar k, aakhengi

A Day Worth Remembering....

I finished my program today. It was a big chaotic one when it got started. This was the first of the kind program which I had done. This is not the usual one as here the people who came were the faculties in multiple engineering colleges. It was not the usual kind of program as there were alot of speeches, formal startup of the program happening in the start. And not to forget, I needed to travel 140kms everyday back and forth from my hotel to the venue. Despite all the hassles, bad food at the venue , the guys were great. They gave me so much of respect and displayed so much of eagerness to learn that I really forgot everything. It was a very good feeling to make people aware about some thing which I really like, Oracle database. In the end, there was a closing ceremony. I am not really the kind of person who likes too much of speeches, formal sort of stuff that mostly is artificial only. But it was a part of the program that I had to attend it with another person who was also a pa

Back....

Yeah I got back today morning. I shall be leaving again tomorrow. This was a terrible week. I have never been so tense in any program of fine. It was almost certain that the program was going to be bounced. But I must thank the guys who came for the program that supported me all the time and also were very cooperative. If it had not been than the fate was already decided for this program. I don't really like talking about myself any point but this time, I really felt like achieving a real tough goal and that was to make sure that the program ends well with everyone smiling. And it did happen that all were smiling. I didn't like too much rain that was there, a cage like room that I got in the hotel, long stays in the office trying to troubleshoot the technical issues of the installations, skipping meals for 3 days but I am still glad that all ended well. I am at the moment just so much tired. An empty feeling is there inside the heart, I am not sure why. Its just feeling that t

Issues, Issues & Nothing Else....

Its been the crazy 4 days. I am not sure that I ever got into such a bad situation before and I really wish that I won't ever get into the same again. Nothing else except issues I am facing from last 4 days. I can't even get upset over the responsible guys as they are novice and they did beyond what they could with their limited knowledge. But still, what ever may be the reason of it, the task didn't get complete and every day I am feeling like fresh meat thrown in front of hungry lions. I am just trying out that things sort out and nothing bad would happen. Okay so you must be thinking that what is there so wrong that happened? Well now you have asked so let me tell you. I needed 8 machines to be up and running with Linux and Oracle database installed before I could start. I was told that it is done and its "perfect". I thought it would be the same only and landed up at the venue. Guess what, nothing was there. Since last 4 days , I am working round the clock to

A Quick Post....

I am at Bombay. Its been like crazy yesterday since I had to catch a flight from Allahabad back to Delhi and immediately after 2 hours from that, another flight to here. Needless to say, it squeezed me like anything. Good thing was that I was having a holiday today so I could recollect myself. Its raining like crazy here. I like rains but not like this. Its like in a minute, its clean than its raining and its not just raining , its like raining like cats and dogs. And I can see the status of the roads after the rain which gives me goosebumps. Another reason may be that I don't like this place too much. Anyways, enough of ranting, as I am not going to stay here for long so I shouldn't be complaining either. This time the hotel that had been booked for me, it gave me a room which is junior single room. Not sure that when they put the title then junior meant for the room or for the person? Its like 10X6feet wide only where one can barely go on a bed that's all. Thanks to bud

Travelling Time Once Again....

I have to leave tomorrow. Besides that I am always worried or concerned or bothered , whatever you can say , about my programs and their outcome, this time or I should say from this time, I am much more worried about some thing much more serious related to my family. I am just wishing and praying that all the things remain sorted and on their place. I really don't have much strength left to bear any more blows. Pray for me guys!

A Special Note....

At times, when there is so much wrong going on,all one needs is some one to come along , sit  besides and say , hey don't be worried, everything is going to be fine! It may not solve the problem at all but those words act like a life saver. And its not just true for that person who is having problem but also for those who are along with him. In the time of problem only , it becomes evident who is a real friend and who is just a phony! Yes I am seeing some of this at the moment myself. My problem is that I am not having a habit of praising people too much. I just can't do that. I say a few words and that too not to that person him/herself but to some one else. I just can't say long phrases in praise of anyone. And if I don't say , I certainly don't like people doing the same for me as well. I really like those who would come and tell me how "bad" I am rather than trying to put over the seventh sky with praises. I can't help it, its just me. Anyways as

Lines Touching Heart....

At times, few lines just reveal so much. I read these lines yesterday and needless to say, I found them just so true. I am sharing them with you. Have a read, Roye hain bahot tab zara karaar mila hai, Is jahan mein kise bhala sacha pyar mila hai! Guzar rahi hey zindagi imtehano ke daur se, Ek khatam hua To dusra taiyaar mila hai! Mere damaan ko khushiyo ki kami ka nahi malaal, Gam ka khazana jo isko beshumar mila hai! Who khushnasib hain jinhe mehboob mil gaya, Mein kamnasib hun mujhe intezar mil gaya! Gam nahi mujhe ke dushman hua yeh zamana, Jab har dost hathoon mein liye talwar mila hai! Sab kuch khuda ne tum ko bhala kaisey de diya, Mujhe to uske darr se sirf inkaar hi mila hai! And their meaning in English is, Today I have cried then only I got a little relief, Who has got real love in this world? This life is passing through phases of so hard tests, Before one ends, the next is already ready! I don't regret that I have got so less smiles, As I have got a treasure of cries
