I have just finished my session here at Malaysia. I started writing this post when I was still sitting in the training room only but then I got busy talking to another, local instructor lady C who also attended my session as an observer. All the delegates of my session have gone out for a movie or site seeing but I am going to stay inside my room only because one) I have no one to go with me and two and important one) I don’t want to go at all. So I am just sitting now on my hotel room desk and writing it. As I mentioned already, it was a very tiring week for me and though, I was going to write about some things, like the questions that I was asked which I didn’t answer either completely or just dodged them with my skills but I couldn’t do it at all. Anyways, I am done with the session and I hope that I shall get some time to finish this post and write about almost everything that I can put here. But first thing first and for which I came here in the first place or I should say, I was ...

I am sitting in my training room right now. Its been  very tiring last few days. That’s why I couldn’t write anything. I shall see if I shall get some time to write about some of the questions that I was asked in this session(non-technical ones). Its lunch time and I haven’t gone out(neither did yesterday and the other day) for it nor would be going for the next two days. I even haven’t gone out at all after my session from my hotel anywhere. All I would do, finish my session, lock myself in the room. Don’t ask why! Anyways, this post is a relatively quick one and is about a small poetic masterpiece that I have just read. I mentioned few days back that I shall be posting two posts, one about two videos that I had seen on YouTube which brought tears in my eyes and another about a poetic masterpiece from Debi Makhsoospuri which again brought tears to my eyes. I shall write about both because watching both did brought immense pain to the heart. The poetry that I read today, just now,...

Okay, so I have reached the place, the same place where I have travelled already 4 times and sitting in my hotel room. I am at The Gardens Hotel . Its a different hotel from the one where I stayed few years back. Well, this post is not about what I mentioned here . May be some time later tonight or tomorrow, I shall write about it. This post is unrelated to it but is about very kind words that one very close friend sent text to me after reading a very old post on my blog that it’s really good and reading it brought tears in the eyes. I am just so touched by hearing that someone did like it so much! Thanks you, thank you so very much, it means a lot to know that few people still exist in this world full of “practical” people, who understand the depth of that write-up and the true meaning behind it. And in case you are wondering which post it is, well its a series of posts, linked to each other. If you are interested to read, here is the link to the first part which would link further...

I shall be moving towards an overseas travel tomorrow. Well, what’s new in this you may ask and the answer is nothing actually! But what’s slightly different is that its one of those locations for which I have vowed not to step into. I won’t mention the reason and/or the details. Its official now and is decided so I can’t do anything about it now and moreover, I have faced enough insults, taunts in the past many times for first asking for certain assignments and then going ahead and saying that  I won’t be going for it and the irony is, no one, even those for whom I did do all those naive acts, didn’t give a damn and bothered to understand that how tough it is to face people after doing such acts. Anyways, as I said many times, all what people of this world is bother about themselves, not about what others do, even when what is done is for none else but for them only! So, in a simple sentence, I have to  go and and in fact, I am going. It’s not a new place for me though, been ...

I have just finished my session of this week and I must say, I am really really happy the way it got concluded. Though its a very tough module to teach but with the delegates who are so friendly, co-operative and eager to learn the stuff, it makes so easy to just keep on saying about it without feeling even a little bit of tiredness :-) . That’s what I was doing in these last 5 days as well since the guys were so good that I never felt for once that I am tired(though in the end, I did feel like a dead bee of course). If you are a regular here, you must be aware of this statement of fine that if the delegates do ask you about your contact information, leave with a smile on their face, its a clear sign that you didn’t bore them with your talk and they were happy to be with you. And my delegates of this session, didn’t just leave with smile, they left after giving me a very warm shake-hand and also saying some very kind words as well, like, “this was the best training that I have attended...

I just stumbled on this forthcoming song from the movie, Love Mein Ghum which mean pains in love. I wouldn’t be translating this song because I don’t think its going to be worth it but still, its a good song and it just hurts to see that there are no more such kind of people in this world who do feel the pain of their loved ones and cry for it. The people of this world are more into to looking for their own happiness, worrying and bothering just for their own dreams of career, study in abroad etc etc. Anyways, I shall not be putting anything more here since I am in a real bad mood at the moment. Enjoy the song and if I shall get enough requests to translate it, I shall do it as well.   Let me know if you did like it, its in Punjabi but at least, those have got their hearts broken into pieces from those whom they thought would keep it safe, they would be able to at least understand and feel the pain depicted in the music.

Well, I didn’t get to write about the weekend adventures of mine because there wasn’t any and I was down completely with the severe backache and headache. I went to my friends place for some time and it did help a little to get a little better with the pain. But its still there and I have just applied the gel. To make things more worse, just slipped on the damn floor thanks to the slippery wooden tiled floor. Did it hurt? Well, its a wrong question to ask if you ask me! Anyways, the weekend is finally over (already its two days) and the tough week is going on. So far, the session has started okay. As usual, the guys and gals are very nice, friendly and eager to learn the module. There has been a delegate in the session who told me while sitting after the session, that he used to read my replies when he was stationed overseas for couple of years and he is very happy to meet me finally in-person :) . He mentioned that when I became an Oracle ACE, he was really happy to see my growth. Now...

Nothing sounding new I guess but what to do, that’s all what is there. I have finished this week’s session yesterday and I have been told that I shall be having the next session here only. Which means that I need to stay here for this weekend. The session went well(I hope) . As I mentioned already, the delegates(those four who were present in the entire week), were really good and we had a great time talking about Oracle database and also about some other things like this place Banglore, world, food. It was a basic module but for me, its always a great fun to do it because here the delegates are not very experienced and its so good to discuss with them in a great detail and push them towards the path of learning oracle database. The delegates were very friendly, nice and co-operating. I am still a little disappointed from one delegate whom I mentioned about in the last post too. He didn’t show up in the last 3 days at all and I have no idea where the heck he was and what the heck he ...

I am extremely tired and sleepy at this moment when I am sitting and writing this post. I have just come back from the session and I am feeling hungry like anything, thanks to a really bad lunch that I had in the afternoon. But despite being tired, sleepy and hungry, there is so much of pain and also there is tons of work that I need to do which I am not sure when and how I am going to finish, I have to that I know but just not able to focus. If you are a regular here, you must be aware that I was at home last week, not on vacation but working. Still, its just so good to be at home. On Sunday, I started the travel. It was going to be a short travel from home to Chandigarh because I was going to take a flight from there itself to Banglore( where I am right now) . The airport at Chandigarh is completely revamped now and I must say, it has become really good! But a good airport can’t bring the flight on time can it? So the flight of mine got delayed and one delay leads to another, my st...

My week long stay at home is coming to end today. Though I wasn’t completely free while being at home because I was handling a web-conferencing program which used to get started quite early in the morning. It was a very tiring program but I am glad and very satisfied to see that the I have done well(in fact, very well) in that program. Thanks to both the delegates for their support in the entire program and I hope that the program would help them in their work and in the learning path of oracle database. My sister is also visiting home in the same week when I am here. It was so good to be with her :-) . She would be leaving tomorrow I believe and I wont be at home to see her off. But its okay because I am sure she is going to be alright and that’s all what matters. I have also done many miscellaneous things like I have got for myself an anti-glare glasses. I was suggested by a delegate of mine to get it because most of my time, I am sitting in front of computer and its not really goo...

Yes, not every time, everything which is short has to be sweet as well. That’s what the below quote is all about too,short, bitter truth but certainly not sweet! Sometimes you just smile, not because you're happy but because you need to find an escape from the pain you're in! Isn’t it so true but the worst part is that when people laugh at your pain, not just those who are unaware about its intensity but also those, who gifted it to you! But that’s what life and that’s what the people of this world are all about too I guess!

If you are a regular here, you must be aware of my fondness for good poetry. There is a lot of it already posted by me here in case you haven’t read and I believe, the quality of it is very high. All what one needs is to understand the depth of the writing, something which doesn’t come very easily to many. Anyways, so to keep up the same tradition, here goes one more which I really liked and that’s the reason its here. I shall translate the meaning in English as a while but first, the original version in Hindi, Umarr saari to bohat door ki baat thi Wasi, Ek lamhe ke liye kaash vo mera hota!   And it’s meaning in English is, It was too much to ask for the commitment of life time, Alas, if he could be mine for a moment only!   Isn’t it  sad, painful but still so good two lines of poetic masterpiece?

Just read this and I must say, its 100% true, sad but true. The feeling of missing someone hurts, but it kills you even more when you know that the person never thinks about you anymore.

I am not a big fan of Mahesh Bhatt and especially not of Mr. Smoocher (self given name) aka Emran Hashmi . I am not sure that in which movie Emran Hashmi has actually done the acting rather than just kissing his female co-stars. His movie Murder was nothing more than few steamy scenes collected together of mad sex, lust starring an unfaithful wife, a lusty guy(guess who played that part) and a confused/frustrated husband. Thanks to the smooch scenes, movie made big bucks on the box office still making Emran Hashmi an overnight and over-rated movie star. Oh and did I mention that the movie was actually a remake(or copy) of Unfaithful ? Never mind, who watched both the movies anyway for the story isn’t it? Emran never learned from his mistakes and kept on doing the similar sort of movies ( thanks to his uncle Mahesh Bhatt of making such movies and casting him in them again and again) and I guess, it won’t stop any time soon in the future as well. Since the movie Murder was a smashin...

Why not people of this earth bother even for a moment too before shattering someone’s heart in pieces and making him bleed to death? Why not people’s hand tremble when they put tears and pains in the lap of someone and yet after doing so, they think that they haven’t done anything? Why not people, not for a moment too, pause, think and try to imagine that how much they have hurt someone who has no fault of his yet he got the gift of tears, pains and cries? Why people do all this and yet claim that they haven’t done anything wrong and they have no fault whatsoever? Why not people sit back and try to figure out that if one is angry and upset, it may not be because he likes to be like this or he likes to “argue” but may be because he is so hurt, sad and upset from things said and done to him and that too, by none other than that person whom he believed who would not hurt him ever, that he might have forgotten now what its like to smile,to be happy?  Why not people think that saying so...

I have just come back yesterday to home after a long, tiring but good tour. It was very exhaustive but fortunately, everything went really well. All the three sessions which I conducted, I met with some really smart, friendly and energetic delegates with whom I exchanged a little about whatever I know about Oracle database. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot from the delegates( as like always). Thank you all for such being so friendly, co-operative and for listening to me for such long hours. It was indeed a pleasure and honor for me to meet all of you and I certainly am hoping to meet you all soon in some other session. Now, about something which I was told yesterday by my doctor. Those who know me “well” , they are aware about this fact that I have met with two very serious physical traumas which got tagged from a mental trauma. I am always very careful, some times, to the level of being intolerable and irritating as well, for those whom I love and care the most( that’s anot...

This is going to be very short and quick one and it will be about two things! One, I am not a photographer so I just clicked some pics in my last week’s Singapore’s tour. If you are interested in few randomly clicked , click here . Two, all talk about Facebook and how cool it is! Well, I don’t think that it’s cool but its not a complete piece of crap either. And its just highly unlikely, the big daddy of web world, Google will just sit and watch FB laughing on it over making Buzz and trying to create Wave . If you think that those two were the (failed) desperate attempts of Google to come in the social world and they can’t get it right, well, say hello to Google Plus , a new platform of Google which is not just a social platform from the giant but also would bring new changes to Google as well in the subsequent time to come. If you haven’t heard about it, read about it from the below link, right from the master himself, http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/introducing-google-p...

If you are a traveler, you must be aware about a saying, “this world is a book and if you haven’t traveled , you have just read one page” . But how about when you are doing a little too much of reading :-) ? Well, your eyes would start to get hurt ;-). Okay, a not so good joke, never mind, let’s come back to the post. I was going to post this post when I had just reached Banglore but thanks to being tired like dead and a task to complete the book review of my friend’s book, I just couldn’t do it. Anyways, its better late than never, isn’t it! So, I have finally managed to reach Banglore in one piece, without missing any flight and with a smile and satisfaction because I was able to finish my work properly. There is nothing which makes one more happy than seeing his hard work appreciated and seeing a smile on other’s face showing that they were happy and the time that they spent, was worth spending! That’s what I guess I was able to achieve with my last session and not to forget, relive...

Its Friday but I am still at Singapore, fortunately in the same hotel where I was the entire week. The hotel got a cancellation and didn’t throw me out but gave me an extension today for a day till tomorrow :) . I went to have dinner and tried a new place today as well(have tried one yesterday and did dine at an old place as well). Did buy some chocolates and now, back in the room of mine. As I mentioned already in an another post, I came to Singapore in 2006 for the first time. At that time, I was totally messed up mentally(just for the record, I still am) or may be I can say that the mental breakdown of mine happened at that time and it hasn’t healed since then. I did get up from a very serious sickness(stayed in the hospital for many weeks) and got an offer to come here. I took the offer to come here to change the environment around me because I was almost dead and if anything could distract me was a place change and loads of work.  And these are the two things that I am doing...

Those who know me well, are aware about the fact that I absolutely love oracle database and poetry. I am always looking forward to read something new about oracle db and also to read a good poetry that would shake the inner soul of mine completely. If you haven’t done yet, search over this blog for many such poetries that I have put and also some which are written by me as well. Its just amazing that how in just few lines, a lot can be said, isn’t it? Keeping the trend alive, below are some of those poetries that I absolute love and are among my favorites. These are in Hindi and I shall translate their meaning in English as well. So without further delay, here we go, (1)Tumse ulfat ke takazay na nibhaye jaate, Warna humko bhi ye chahat thi ki chahe jaate! You just couldn't fulfill the promises of love, Otherwise I also wished to be loved! (2)Hum ne aaghosh-e-muhabbat se ye seekha hai sabaq, Jis ko zinda na rehna ho wo muhabbat kar le! I have learnt this lesson ...
