Yes its a wrong syntax if we see it from a technical point of view but it sounds perfect still! Another year is ending and a new year is just on the doorsteps. I wish you all who come here a very happy and prosperous 2010 and the best of the holiday season! Hope this year brings the best of everything for you and becomes one of the most memorable and happening years of your life! Have a great new year evening either tonight or tomorrow night( depending on where you are on this planet) and have lots of fun :-) .   I shall be posting the zodiac forecast of my sun sign Aquarius for 2010 as soon as it becomes available. So if you are also an Aqua, make sure you do check back this space some time later :-) . Hope planets move in the right manner in 2010 :-) . Update: I am still not able to find the 2010 horoscope and I shall be honest, I didn’t even try much hard as well. But I was just reading what in general Aquarians are, always a fun and feel of satisfaction to read that we ar...

I got back today from the last program of this year of  mine. I guess, I was just waiting for the program to get finished so that I could fly back to home asap! It was a little long to wait  I believe this time since I am out of home and on the roads from last many weeks. But, its finished and thank god, it went really well as well! That was biggest worry that it should not happen that the last program of the year would get screwed up! Thanks to god and the co-operation of all the delegates, it went really well. All the delegates were really nice and intelligent and said so many kind words before we finished the program! Thanks a lot guys! Now, all the programs are over, I guess at least for 2-3 days, I can have some rest which is must now since I, due to my very own stupidity, have injured myself as well. How come ? Well, keep on reading! Since childhood, I have a talent of doing something which others can't even think of and when it happens, at times, even I wonder myself ...

I didn't get time to write before I was leaving this time. It wasn't long enough too that I was at home. I left the next day only after writing this . And there is no time that I could get in these days to write anything. Today also wasn't any exception as I am just so much tired and feeling so weak. By the time I am back in the hotel, I am in the position that I can fall anywhere. May be its too much travel that I am doing since last 2 months and/or the impact of constant travels are becoming visible. Not sure what is there? So what's the exception that I am writing at almost midnight today, you may ask! well, no other reason but that I can't sleep. After spending almost 3 hours on the back, turning upside down, there is no sleep in my eyes. There are so many thoughts in the mind, so many things going on that even though I am feeling so damn tired, I am still not able to get sleep for few moments even! So what to do when you are not able to sleep? Read poetry and l...

I got back just now. Though it was a tiring week still, the outcome came out very  nice! The delegates were very happy and spoke so many kind words about me that I don't even think I am even worthy even! Here is one comment that I recieved from one delegate which he posted on my oracle blog . I am posting the exact wording here as I believe, this is among the nicest sayings that I have heard," I can’t resist myself without saying that it was a very enriching experience for me,during these last Five days of our Training session on Oracle 11g New features. Thanks once again Praaji! U r just awesome..!! All I can say is thanks so much to all of you. I know nothing but despite that, it was very kind of all of you to say such nice words for me! I just can say thanks but believe me, I mean it when I am saying it! I need some break but there is none at the moment. I need to travel again tomorrow for another program. Hopefully, this should be the last program of this year. The...

At times, when you need something so desperately and you don't get it, only that can understand what it feels like who have experienced it. After a long, extremely tiring day, with a bad health, how much sleep can help, its something which can't be explained. But unfortunately, sleep and peace are among those few things which nothing and no one can get for you even if you are the wealthiest person of this planet! I certainly am not the wealthiest person so I am not saying it for myself but isn't it same for those people who really have that much of wealth? Just like that being in crowd doesn't mean that one is not alone and sitting all by yourself doesn't mean that you are alone! No, its not a tongue in cheek. Its really true, just depends how much one did understand this statement. I am not having a good time. Though the delegates are very nice, intelligent and cooperative, still the complexity of the module, tiredness that I have accumulated from constant , seve...

I can't seem to think any other title for a post which is for two different topics! Anyways, first about the birthday! Its my sister Gunjan's birthday today! Happy birthday dearest Gudia! Its just a shame that I need to travel on this day. I really want to be here with her, spending the entire with her but I need to go for this tour! Despite that I won't be able to spend time with her, I am still somewhat happy as I could be here on her birthday at midnight to wish her. Last time also,I was absent and I didn't want to repeat the same thing this year! We did cut cake at 12:00am last night! She wanted to get some stuff for her and was waiting for me to get it for her! So yesterday, I took her along and got what she wanted! Though I am not completely dissatisfied but I am still not happy at all! But I am helpless and I need to go at any cost! God bless you Gudia! Happy birthday dearest Gudia! Well, needless to say that I am traveling also today. Its really going to be a ...

Punjabi music has always been enriched with so many talented singers, musicians and writers. Despite the fact that now a days, just every one wants or tries to be a Punjabi singer, writer or musician, there are some names without which Punjabi music and its essence can't be there. I always feel that music should reflect completely and truly human emotions. That's what the music is all about after all, isn't it? And what good would be that music which except reflecting emotions , does everything else? Sadly there are some singers who do make such kind of music. But fortunately, there are some musicians who do prepare such numbers which just gets mixed in your soul! There isn't just one name and among these talented musicians, Waris brothers trio, Manmohan Waris , Kamal Heer and Sangtar hold a very esteemed and respected position! Though all three brothers are involved completely with music but all bring their own signature in the music which they create. If Manmohan...

I got back home this morning. Its my sister's birthday tomorrow and I wanted to be there to wish her. That's why despite that my mom asked me to stay back, I insisted on coming back. I shall be leaving again tomorrow and this time, this would be a REALLY hard module that I would be taking up. I am not at all sure what would happen as I know from the past experiences of two other instructors that the ride isn't going to be smooth at all for me(neither it was for them ). I am scared and worried to death! And on top of that, I am feeling completely burnt out from the travel. Feels like that I am completely exhausted! And its not just the physical fatigue, there is some sad feeling that's there in the heart as well and the reason for that is this and the next month. I can't mention the story behind these months but its really hard for me smile at the moment. Wish I could learn the tricks like some other people to be just completely caring about your own work and nothin...

If you are a regular here, you would be aware about the fact that the travel which I am doing at the moment, I was not supposed to be a part of it if I hadn't been called for it on an "urgent and desperate" basis. I said a No for the program initially but than I was given so many reasoning's that why I should go for it. So I had to say Yes for it unwillingly, resulting which caused chaos right in the beginning of it only because anything that starts with a no ends up being in trouble. Try it for once, you would realize that its true! At my place , since last 4 days, the environment has become really violent and dangerous thanks to some idiots who think creating mess and destroying peace is the best way to spend their free time. Things have gone to that extent of being messed up that a curfew has been imposed and army is called up. Completely the movement is stopped. Whatever little movement which is allowed is only for few hours. Overall, things are really so much b...

If you would ask me, I am really not in any mood to go this time. And its just not like that because there are two reasons for this. One and the most important I guess, I am not well. If you have been reading, I did mention that I am having so much of pain in my throat since my last travel ( which just got finished only 2 days back) and had become even worse because I didn't get any rest and in that state only, I had to "shout" for  3 days. I did go to the doctor only to hear that I need some rest but who can explain this to him that when some one writes saying that "only Aman", there is nothing much you can do. I really really do need some rest because the pain is unbearable for me but I am out of choices here. The second reason is also pretty close to the first one. I am traveling since last 5 weeks and if you don't do this much of travel, you can't feel how much impact it does on one's body. I want some rest to make myself get relaxed but again, t...

Some times, there are some things which are not explainable by words. Even when one tries really hard enough to explain through wording, all those efforts just fail. If you are thinking that what can be such emotion which is not explainable by words than the answer of that is pain. Out of all, only pain is that such emotion which even words can't describe properly. And when that pain is given to one by that person whom he loved more than his own self than it becomes even more harder to tell someone what's the reason of those tears which at times come in the eyes. Its not possible to explain in any words that why one feels alone even when the whole world is there? Its not possible to express that pain caused by those broken pieces of heart which pierce into the soul all the time reminding that this is the punishment of trusting, loving , caring for some one for whom love was not much than a wardrobe which one wears for some time and after that, just throws away in a corner. Only...

In case, you don't know, I work in hi-tech field of computers and when I say, hi-tech, it means all the things that a normal person wont do with his machines. Though I am much far from what Sidhu and Vaibhav do in the same category and how much they know ( read Vaibhav's blog to know about what kind of cpu cabinet he uses, that should be enough to give you a heart attack) but still, I do come in the same category. So following the tradition of being wireless,which is already going on for sure at Sidhu's place and I am almost certain at Vaibhav's place as well about using internet over laptops and deskops , I have enabled wireless networking in my home as well today. I have already been warned by Ankit so I won't forget this time. Credit must go where its truly deserved. So keep on reading who are those unsung heroes who helped me in achieving wi-if nirvana. Since I wanted to have wi-if setup in my home so who can be the best source around me to ask for the initi...

Well, I have just got back home and yes, I am happy, in fact  I was very very happy when I was starting the travel today for home thinking that I shall be having a break(finally) for some time to get some rest. But just like always, if I want some thing, that is bound for not to happen in any case. And just the same did happen within just one hour of me coming back when I got a call that I am "requested very desperately" for a program and just me and only me has to handle that program. So I have to leave now on this Sunday AGAIN! Am I upset, yes I am just SO MUCH UPSET! Some one asked me a question few days back in a session that won't it be better if I shall be at one place now as its been so many years of me living in a suitcase? I didn't give the answer at that time. Okay I did give but I guess, probably I need to modify it a bit now with this yes that I am thinking to feel the same and I believe on one thing very strongly, if you need to think about what you are g...

No, all these words are not for rhyme. I am experiencing all the above mentioned things, right at the same moment! I am at Sidhu’s place, after so many days, a place where I did have some good food and felt a bit better after so much of stress, tensions and to put the last cherry on the cake, sickness which is still there.   I have just finished the session today. Needless to mention that one when is travelling from couple of weeks( this is the 5th week) , its just simply obvious that he is going to end up, not being just tired but like DEAD TIRED! And I am the same kind of tired at the moment. But that too is not such a big thing for me because at the moment, there is some thing which is going on in my mind and that is the reason for me being upset as well. Some how, some way, its just always that due to others and just due to other people only I get the maximum tensions, pains and needless to say, upsetting feelings and today was no exception to this tradition. I am not well(...

Its always a tedious thing to get updated about the new blog posts from your favorite authors. Yes yes I know there are RSS feeders but that still does need that you open up the reader :-) . Blogger had come up with Google Follow This which is a good initiative and is suerly on my blogger blog as well. But the similar sort of functionality was missing over Wordpress. But now, its an old time story. Wordpress has come up with Subscriptions widget which will allow you to either simply click and subscribe if you are an already registered wordpress user or will allow you to have an email registered to get to know when there is a new post written and this info will come to your inbox immediately. Needless to mention that this widget is added to my wordpress blog . I yet have to check that its there for the self hosted blogs as well or not. I have no time to check at the moment though but if its there, its just going to be great! So now, you can get the notification about my random rambl...

Alright so my short vacation is over and in less than 2 hours, I shall be on the road again. Its going to be again a long and tough tour. I have been running like anything since past few weeks and I must admit, its not as much fun as it appears to many. Anyways, if one has to do something, he should do it happily so its okay. I am going to give a last check of my stuff than will have an early lunch. Hope I shall get internet access this time. Pray for me guys and wish me luck!

We humans are best known for the ability of ours to have emotions, to have feelings which we express,which we share! Feelings and emotions are the only two things which makes a human being a true human being because if you don't have these two attributes, you are no good than a stone or an animal. And when it comes to feelings and of their expressions, there are numerous ways which people choose, writing, painting and of course music! I won't compare any medium with each other as each is best in its very own way. But out of all three, music travels much longer distances and connects all who can hear it. It doesn't matter that one has to understand the lyrics completely. As long as you can feel the expression of the music, you can enjoy it as well. And if you can understand the lyrics that go with the music, you would just enjoy the power of music to express human emotions to its fullest! Though music is a very powerful medium but as its still a medium, a tool, a way which...

I just got the following in an email and I just loved the twist that it took towards the end. Needless to say that it did make me smile so thought would share with you all. Have a read of a letter of recommendation written by some manager for his team member. I am sure I never want to have such letter for me ever and I am quite certain, you too won't ever want one. Why, well have a read and see for yourself,                                     Letter of Recommendation 1        Trevor Adams, my assistant programmer, can always be found 2        hard at work in his cubicle. Trevor works independently, without 3        wasting company time talking to colleagues. Trevor never 4  ...

I have just got back home this morning. I have been traveling since last 3 weeks continuously and I must mention, this wasn't a comfortable tour at all, both mentally and physically. I was supposed to start travel again tomorrow as well but the schedule is bit rearranged now and I shall be starting in next 2 days. I definitely need this break because  I am finding myself really blown up. I don't know what's the reason of this but its true and I can feel the mental and physical fatigue very clearly over me! Hope this short break would help (if not much but just a little bit too) me getting myself recollected. Let's see! I had been traveling to all the places where  there never is any winter season. So it was little uneasy for me (and especially without any woolens) to come straight into a temperature of 18 degrees. And this became much worse when I started in the bus when I had to face the chilling wind without any woolens. My mom mentioned to me that it would be a tou...

If you are thinking that I did a typo by writing "!back" than no, I didn't! If you have not worked with computer systems and are not aware about the terminologies used in computer systems than this symbol "!" signifies negation, in simple words, not :-) . Yep, I am not back. I am back to India though but I am not at home still. I have another 3 programs lined up which are starting from tomorrow onwards. And just like the last trip of mine in Colombo, all are going to be real tough ones! Let's see! I am on the road since last 2 weeks and I don't see it ending any time soon as well! One thing which I came to know just while coming back from Colombo that the training that I have conducted there, this happened for the very first time in Colombo and I am the first ever guy who did that! Now, it may not matter to anyone else but it does matter for me a lot and it has made this trip special for me in one more way for me as I have sort of created like history!...
