Aman's Blog....

Well, its just the title, I am not at all a poet. Yes , at times, just out of the blue moon, some thing gets written but that's really is not poetic in my opinion. It just happened today again that I wrote the following two lines thinking about some one and some things. After hearing some kind words from my friend Sidhu , I thought to put it over here as well. I know surely well that its not really that great but still, if you do like it, I would love to hear that( and even if you won't too, just being fair :-) ) Here comes first in Hindi, Kuch haseen palon ki darkaar mein, kar to liya sauda-e-ishq, Kise pata tha dard-e-dil tamam umar goya keemat bhi hai! And here is its meaning in English, Just in the wish of few good moments, I did fall in love, Who could guess, it would give nothing but cries for the rest of the life!   As I said, I am not at all a poet, so excuse me if it didn't make ant sense for you. Very few know the why/what of the above written

I got back this morning. It was part bumpy, part smooth tour. Fortunately, it was smooth where it was supposed to be, for the program. The session went well I guess and all the delegates were happy. We had some very good discussions and had a great time. The delegates were very supportive, cooperative and keen to learn, all ingredients of a good and interesting session. I hope the delegates enjoyed the program the same as much I did. I had the pleasure to hear some very nice comments at the end from them for which I really am not worthy and just can say, I am really thankful for all of those kind words! Over all, a very nice program ended up nicely as well! I thought that I would come back home on time but its always that when I think/plan something, it doesn't happen like that. When I got at the bus stand, I found the most biggest crowd present over there which was the largest from any time that I can recall from the past. When I tried to find the reason of this, a shocking reve

I have just come back to my hotel. Things are partially okay and partially not. About being okay, the program is going okay for so far. There is not any major issue that we have faced except for one which happened today when one delegate lost his database and we never had any backup of it as well( its not a backup/recovery session). I still have to get it sorted out if I would be able to do so. Except that, I guess things are pretty much okay. Now about not being okay things, well I am not okay :-) . I have fever and with all of this Swine Flu fear-factor spread around, I have been getting more worried. I am not sure that whether I do have it or not( I hope not) but I don't have those symptoms yet, like vomits, sneezing, too much coughing and so on. So not sure what's there? May be its just in my mind. I am having medicine for cold and fever daily though. Yup, I am wearing that "scary" mask as well :-) . So let's see what's going to happen? I need to get bac

Well,  I am sure those who are regulars would have guessed it already that I am going for my program tomorrow. I have mentioned already that I shall be leaving soon in the past here. There is just one change that now I am going for a different program for a different set of delegates and for a different(longer) duration. Hope everything would remain fine despite that my health is still not in its right state. Let's see what would happen with the program, I just hope that all goes well. I have couple of things lined up for me and this does include a very important project on which I have started working after initially saying no. That is taking a little too much time of mine and I am finding it tough, really tough in this state of health of mine. Anyways, you got to do what you got to do so can't be complaining. Hope the program goes fine. Pray for me guys :-) .

At times, you come across some thing which just shakes you and leaves you speechless! To do so, the writing must be really good and should be depicting the emotion, whatever it may be, really well. And there is no other emotion better than pain. And when the pain is not just any other pain but the pain that one gets from his/her beloved, there is just nothing which can match its intensity, its deepness. That pain, those cries, those tears which come in the eyes all of a sudden when you are sitting alone thinking about some painful words that were said to you by none other than your beloved, some things done by your beloved which did hurt you so much but he still did them despite knowing that they are hurting you, there are not many things or words, which can explain that pain truly. Yes all this and much much more is there which just can't be explained with any wording. But still, at times, some one writes such marvel which says it all and just not says it, but depicts a story whi

I got back this morning. As I mentioned , it was supposed to be a short travel so I am back in just 2 days. This was probably the shortest travel that I had done so far in all these years. I shall be leaving again on this Sunday, again this won't be for a long time but still won't be as short as this tour was. Anyways , enough about the duration of the tours I guess :-) . The program went fine, at least I hope so. I have yet to see the official rating and as long as that doesn't come up well, I can't really be sure that the program was a success. But still, I could see the smiles on everyone's face and as I have mentioned couple of times before as well, when you are asked for your contact details, it means people did like what you said and how you said. So based on that criteria, I guess things went fine. The next program would be having some delegates who attended this program as well. Let's see what happens at that time? Oh , the delegates were just awesome, v

It was a very good travel. Though I was very sleepy and very tired and yet I couldn't sleep because the bus was not comfortable at all, still I enjoyed the travel because  the driver was playing for all 7 hours and guess what, all were my favorite Punjabi songs :-) . So it was overall a fun this time. I started at about 9.30am in the morning fearing from the rain which came at about 8am without any prior notice. It was raining very heavily at that time and I didn't want to get wet at all. So as soon as rain stopped, I started. It was quite early for me to start as my flight is departing very late. Its still 2 hours from now when I am writing this. But still, it was okay. Because it rained, so the weather was pleasant and luckily I got a "musical" bus, so I can't really complain. I just had a south Indian Dosa as my lunch/brunch whatever you want to say it and now I shall be waiting for the flight. If it would come on the scheduled time, I would be having enough ti

I am leaving tomorrow.  At the moment, with the current information that I have, its going to be a short travel but with me, things change instantly so can't be completely sure about it. Though I am not well but its important for me to go for two reasons. One, because its already committed. About second reason, I can't say anything here but that's even more important the committment. I can just say that words like, "compulsion" or "desperatation" if I use, they would not be in inappropriate. The venue and the people , both would be new this time. Though I have already taken the module elsewhere, still there are butterflies in the stomach. Hope everything goes fine.  Pray for me guys and wish me luck, need it so much!

Its not very often that I would hear any other song except a Punjabi one. It takes a lot for a song to be liked by me even though it may be a Punjabi song or not. But at times, some songs are just awesome and when you hear them, they just steal you from yourself for the time being when they are being played. There is no better way to express any feeling except music. I got a chance to hear one such song just 2 days back when a very close and special person referred it to me. I hadn't heard it before and neither did I hear about the singer as well but I am glad that I finally did hear it! Its sung by a lady singer, Carrie Underwood who won the 4th season of American Idol . The song's name is I Told You So . I liked it the moment I heard and since then, I am not sure how many times it has been repeatedly played. I am sure you are going to like it( or may already do ).  I shall post the lyrics of the song in a while. Firstly, here is the song over Youtube. And here are th

I was not sure what else to put as the title looking at the series of events happening so that's the best I could come up with me, so bear with me on that. I have just got back from hospital , sitting in the emergency ward where my friend Manjit was admitted. He had some medicine which didn't suit to his body and his breathing got almost stopped with swelling over the entire body. Immediately, his elder brother took him to the hospital where doctors admitted him in the emergency section. I got a call from his wife who herself got back today only from the very same hospital after a week, giving birth to her and Manjit's second son. I couldn't go and see her in the hospital for a reason which I would mention in a while. So I was saying that she called me being in tears and told that Manjit is in hospital and his condition is serious. I immediately rushed to the hospital. It took about 3 hours but thank  god, his condition got stabilized and now he is shifted to a private

Few days back, I posted blog post of a video of one of the best write up   of Debi Makhsoospuri . I shall say here again what I said over there as well, there is no one who can match the quality and thinking of Debi and when you are talking about the people who hurt their loved ones and the pain they give to them, no one says it better than Debi. The following is not a song( as like the last video) but just few lines of poetry, again penned by Debi only. The only difference is that this time, they were recited by Manmohan Waris at a festival which happened in Canada. Manmohan is one of the best singers that we have in Punjabi industry. He, along with his brother Kamal Heer, presents a show called Punjabi Virsa( Punjab's Heritage), an awesome , live event where both Manmohan and Kamal, along with their third brother, Sangtar, presents some of the best songs of them. This poetry is written by Debi and hits very hard deep within the heart, especially if you are a person who has hur

Some times , some things just hurt you so much and leave never healing wounds over your heart and soul! All you wish is that some how , some way, the pain of those wounds get relaxed but it just never happens! Despite of your best efforts, the pains of these wounds don't leave you even for a moment. You want to say but find no one besides who is ready to listen. You just feel all alone in this whole big crowded world. What would you do? How would it feel? Assume there is some one whom you always tried to help and guide when ever he needed that. You always stood with him when no one else thought that its a good idea and he really deserves it. You helped him in his toughest times , not for seeking anything in return but just because that's what a real friend would do for his friends all the time. Yet you see, one fine day, when he got all what he wanted, he leaves without even sharing that news with you. He meets all while leaving just leaving you aside. Even the news , that he

At times, you are asked to tell about someone and when you start talking, some times, smiles come over your face and some times, tears fill up your eyes. There can be millions of reasons for both but most of the time people who listen, don't bother about both. These following lines explain the pain of that guy who is asked to talk about some thing and he starts talking about his beloved, doing which , his eyes gets filled with tears. Just a few who know the reason, understand the reason of those tears and keep quite but rest just applauds and leave. No one comes to you when you are crying, people are ready to share just your smiles , this is a sad but true fact and this applies to even those, whom you always thought would do share it! Have a read of these lines. These are in Punjabi. I shall explain their meaning in English in a while, Mehfil laggi c yaaran di, Ohna mainu v maan naal bulaya c! Na janda tan v tan kiven, Vasta tera jo paya c! Jadon keha gaya kujh bo

Its not all the time that we go and share our pains, joys, happiness, success, failures with all. Its just very few people who actually are there in anyone's life who got access to those inner sides of the other person which remain unseen for the entire world always. Those few persons are always the most trusted and hand picked people who we always believe that they would stand beside us in all the times, all the conditions, doesn't matter what happens! We give  them all the rights, share with them our most inner pains, joys and sorrows. When you are crying, there is nothing else that you need except a shoulder on which you can rest your head and cry to your heart full. It may be there that for the rest of the world, you have to keep a smiling face for some reasons but you are alone, you do want to cry like a child. You do want to rest your head in someone's lap and sleep for some time, at least for some moments when you don't feel any pain, any sadness. And I am sure,

Debi Makhsoospuri is one of the most respected names in the Punjabi music industry. An extremely talented writer, lyricist and now, a very successful singer as well, Debi has done it all. It is said that he has made many who's who of Punjabi music industry by giving them his songs to sing. One of the biggest traits of Debi is that when he writes, its always is in a very simple and easy to understand language yet its so powerful that it shakes you deep down up till your soul. He writes what you, me or any other common person feels and wants to say but can't seem to find words for it. Debi gives words to those common man's feelings through his words and each word in his poetry is like a burning fire. Debi has released many albums so far and you can hear them all here on PZ10. Though all the albums and their songs are just awesome, yet Debi's most favorite work is in his live shows , in which he sings those poetries which are not a part of any album. He has released th

Yes I was out for the entire day today. I had to get a personal travel related work to get finished , which couldn't be done without me being present in the office. I was supposed to go on this Monday for the same but as I am not feeling well,  I deferred it up till today. If you ever plan to visit any government office, at least here in my place, you must start as early as possible so that you can get the work finished. And also, if you are going to take help of someone for your work, make sure you don't believe on the person's capability just because he is been referred by some one known. And the fun part, I myself didn't follow both of the advices that I just gave. I thought to leave early in the morning but I slept very late last night( at about 5am, yeah 5am ) so I woke up only at about 8am. Not a good thing to do when you planned to leave actually at 7am. Why I didn't sleep? Well that's a different story altogether , thanks to some thoughts, some worries a

This surely sounds like a fairy tale but its real and just shows that when you love someone truly,  there is nothing in this world which can separate you from your beloved! All one needs is a wish, a strong will to be with his/her beloved, that's all! If you have it than there is nothing , no power in this world would be able to separate you from your beloved, doesn't matter how hard it may appear to look from actually happening! But alas, this is not some thing which all understand and feel. For some, getting their goals, achieving their dreams of getting education in abroad, achieving a better career is far more important than anything and anyone else! Still people like the couple in the news are the reason because of which this word  love, is still alive in this world. God bless this couple , Lost love letter reunites couple after 16 years!

Some times, in just 1-2 lines, a lot is said which shakes you till within. Be it a feeling of joy or pain, both can be explained in a very small space leaving an impression with the deep meaning underneath that short space. Such kind of thing happened today when my friend Manushee posted two quotes on her Twitter timeline, reading which made me get lost in so many thoughts. I am putting those quotes here but I won’t be explaining their meanings or I must say, their true meanings, over here. I leave it for you to understand it yourself because some things are better left unsaid as words can’t give justice to all the expressions. Have a read, I dream of you as I fall asleep. I cry, I yearn for your one word, just one kind word but you never say it. I wait and I go to sleep in tears all over again! And this is the other one, I wish you had understood my silence as I understand yours! As I said, I won’t be explaining what these quotes are trying to say but if you ask me, I can wr

I passed an exam today and I wanted to write about it so much. But before I could start it, my mood has been shattered, thanks to the "business" of the people. So would talk about that exam some other time. At the moment, I shall share few lines which my friend Amardeep sent to me and  which are just awesome! These depict the pain of that guy whose heart is wounded by his own love and he is trying to describe the pain in words somehow. I loved it in the very first read so thought would share. Its in Hindi and I shall explain the meaning in English in a while. Have a read, Pathhron ko haal-e-dil sunane chale hain, Ruthi hui kismat ko manane chale hain! Nakaam hasrton ka janaza uthaye hue, Hum unse wafa nibhane chale hain! Wo bewafa the aur hum badnaseeb, Ye baat jamane ko batane chale hain! Sawan ki ghatao tum kal umadana, Aaj to hum aansu bahane chale hain! Jahan banaya tha humne kal aashiana, Aaj usi shaakh ko jalane chale hain! Meri

Its almost going to be 11 hours since morning that I am sitting in front of the pc and trying to occupy myself in complete time wastage activities. I should had gone and had my lunch and probably had some sleep too because I couldn't sleep last night as well. But rather than doing that, I am sitting over here, writing this blog, trying to find out something(anything) to do which eventually can make me forget that how much tense, upset and lonely I am feeling at the moment(yes again)! I should be sleeping , you may say, so let me tell you that I did try this, in fact I am trying to do this since last many years but somehow, sleep doesn't seem to find a way to my eyes. So what are the things which are making me upset? Unfortunately, there isn't one but many which are happening simultaneously at the moment. There is something which just happened few hours before. I am not sure what I am supposed to do? Some things are just not in my control and all I can do is just sit and w
