A Meaningful Insight

The thing I should mention specifically when I talk about meaningful insight out of course discussion should be "Discovery of Self". May be it sounds a bit too heavy but I will still hold on to it because that's what the reality is.

During the course I realized that the way we look to things are so narrow and there is much wider, bigger & deeper picture outside. But to look at that we need to break the inhibition. The mentality we carry is so much driven and directed by others and thus the actions are never ours. Saying this that "we act the way how other wants" won't be a wrong statement to make.

I got an opportunity to explore myself during all the course discussion. An example to explain it in better way would be, when I was in the last semester all the focus was on getting the job. But then I realized is it the only thing which I am looking for. May be not the potential lies in ourself and if it is so why not "Make it Large....". The question Why Job?? lead to series of other questions and that too at  an exponential rate. But after a good brain storming what answer I got was something I never googled about.

Job was just like a stage, a short term goal which was present due to the needs at a particular time. These needs could be money, luxurious life or something else. But one thing which was very evident was the existence time of this goal, which was short lived. The answer to the basic need i.e. those needs which actually drive us might help us to understand what we are looking for. Thus, rather than running for short term goal try to explore what you are want out of your life. May be the answer of this would help you to shape your life in a different way becuse it is you who knows what you want from your life and you are the only one who can achieve it for yourself.

A Different View To Life

Picking a single topic out of so the many discussed in the class is a tough task in itself. But, saying this if I need to choose one it has to be something related to Scarcity & Abundance. This was something I could relate to very well and at the same time it was the topic which was the epicenter for many other things discussed in the class.

Basically, it changed the view of how we look to things and how we define them. Is it us or someone else who create this idea of lack or abundance. And if we create it, what's the rationale??? Basically, what ever decision we make are just a reflection of what others say about us. This is more prominent in what we feel we are scarce about. As per me an introspection of the same is required. The thing we feel scarce about are we really lacking it or is it just the image which others have created for us. Can that scarcity, be nullified and does this scarcity is playing any role in making ourself. The answer lies within us. If I feel it does I would try to remove it and take the effort of not making this scarcity my weakness. But if it is not at all there, as per one-self, then there is no point of worrying about it because Why to Worry for something which is non-existent.

The similar thing goes with abundance but we are more sure about our abundant part when we compare it with scarcity.  But again the thing which should be thought upon is "Is it really helping us????" to move ahead to reach our goals and to attain what fits into the definition of achievement for us. 

The answer to everything lies in testing and verifying which we often forget to do for the most important part of our integral "Our Life". Covering so many things in such a short time on a topic which we discussed for month is not a easy task but this is some journey we should do. Hope to continue on the question on some other post, some other time. But for now I can only say let people don't make a decision for you. It's you and your life and you should be the whole and sole of what you make out of it.

An Unforgettable Trip (Bangalore, Mysore & Tirupati Balaji )

A long, super fun and amazing family trip after a gap of 3long years, but I must say the trip was worth a wait and one of the most memorable trip I ever had. This time it was Bangalore(now Bengaluru), Mysore & Tirupati, a typical south Indian trip with all the south Indian flavors in it.

Rather than writing a typical day wise experience I thought let’s write this in some different flavor. So I would like to give my thoughts, reviews etc. about the places I visited obviously, with day wise experience.

But before I start I must thanks to my sis, as this trip was courtesy my sis and Infosys Mysore training center.

Day 0 (Start of the Trip)

It was a rainy Friday evening and our AI(Air-India) flight was on time. I was kinda excited as, first thing, I never travelled by air in that kind of weather and secondly it was 2 hour long (longest w.r.t. time for me ) journey from Pune to Bangalore(Bengaluru) via Hyderabad. Here are some snaps from the plane.

Hyd Airport

As we were 4 people, kisi ek ko to kurbani deni hee thi toah I gave the kurbani (so my mom,dad n sis sat on the three chairs on the same side and I was sitting on the other side ) in a hope that this kurbani will turn into a boon and I will be accompanied by a beautiful girl throughout my journey till Hyd if not Bnglr. Par kehte hai na, har baar jaisa aap sochte ho waisa nahi hota, and……..2 aged male in there mid 40’s came and occupied the seat beside me. Aur phir the same thing happened in Hyd, again kurbani and again jo socha vo ho na saka n as we say “Dil KeArmaan Aasoun Mein Beah Gaye”.

Baadal aur Barsaat

The plane landed at Bnglr airport at arnd 6:30, n I must say it’s a well maintained and big airport situated at a distance from city. I suggest that who all travelling with family better come out of the airport and look for the taxi and those who are travelling alone, I feel taking a Volvo is the best option considering the amount of luggage one is having. As, I booked a taxi from inside I feel the rate was little high, I paid 1200 for approx. 38 Km. But all well, n we reached our destination. Thoda araam-vishraam and then we were ready for the dinner. We took a walk near Majestic Area, where we were residing, went to a hotel and ordered some north Indian dishes , Paneer-Dal etc. and the taste was really good.

Day 1 (The Exploration)

I rather we, were excited like anything. A good sleep in the night and I was ready to explore Banglore with full energy and enthusiasm. Aur jisa kehte hai, kissi cheez ko dil se chaaho to saari kaaynaat tumhe use dilane mein lag jaati hai, to hua bhi kuch vahi J It started with a superb  South-Indian (but not very typical) breakfast. Sheera(Halwa) was amazing n the smell of clove(लौंग) was making it even better. With a good HOT sambar and soft Idlis the overall breakfast turned something beyond my expectation and sharing and eating with family made it even more special.

Subah Ka Nashta

After having the pait-pooja we geared up for our next task and that was city exploration. But, before that we wanted to book our tickets for Tirupati from ITDC so we thought of taking a walk till there as it was near the place we were residing. After 10mins of walk we were near Freedom Park, Central Jail formerly, which was the resting place for A.B. Vajpayee & L.K. Advani during 1975 emergency. It was good to know that some part of it has been allotted for protests and IAC indefinite fast was also hosted here. But I must say that the long and wide Blue colored wall with the text displaying Freedom Park do give a sense of freedom for few seconds and then you are back to the real word “The Sound, The Traffic and The City Bengaluru”. And after 10 minutes of further walking we were at ITDC, we booked the tickets, enquired about Banglore Darshan and moved forward.

My friends already game me an idea that it’s better to take a taxi(cab) for the day rather than going for ITDC or any other package plan. So we sticked to that and booked a taxi for 1300 (I think it was this only, may be (+-100), ohhh, I really forgot, but am writing this post after 2 months, what to do busy life…MBA n all ;) but ya lemme tell you that if you guyz r slim and only 2 or 3 in numbers taking an auto won’t be a bad option, after all you will be saving on 700Rs. or something.

So, we took a taxi and reached to our first destination “Bangalore Palace” n mmyyyy…what a place or should I say palace. It really do look like for what it was built for smaller replica of the Windsor Castle, n I might not be the best person to say this as I haven’t been there(Windsor Castle) but yes Bangalore Palace is something wonderful, though little costly.

The entry fee is Rs. 250 per person (Indian) which includes an audio guide, this was something new for me but really worth for. If you are looking to take some snaps of yourself within the royal building and with those dazzling pictures and things be ready to loosen your pockets. Carrying a mobile camera costs you 250 something, a digital camera 450, and a video camera 650. But even then I will suggest you to carry at least a mobile camera if not digital kunki aisi jagah pe kuch photos nikalna to banta hai.

बस यूँ ही ....संग्रहालय

Has been some time to the last update..Was sitting free in office, wow...this happens so very rarely kaash....,  listening to songs when these line made me write this post.

Thought why not share some beautiful lines, songs, shayree & everything about music, sangeet, kavitaayein, panktiyain, gadhya-padhya n the list can go on & on & on...

So, here is the first one.

बस... एक हाँ के इंतज़ार में ,

रात यू ही गुज़र जाएगी....

अब तो बस उलझन है साथ मेरे,

नीद कहाँ आयगी ...

सुबह की किरण न जाने,

कौन सा सन्देश लाएगी...

रिमझिम सी गुनगुनायगी.....या प्यास अधूरी रह जायगी ।

Another one, courtesy a friend. Short & Sweet, sometimes words speak louder than action.

उदास तुझे देखने से पहले ये आँखें न रहें ..
खफा हो तु मुझसे तो ये साँसे न रहें ..
अगर गम ही दू तुझे,
तो तेरी ज़िन्दगी में हम क्या हमारी यादें भी न रहें ।
-----

उसकी  हर  अदा  जुदा  सी  लगती  है ,
हर  बात  पर  वो  खफा  सी  लगती  है ,
मेरे  टूटे  हुए  दिल  पर  वो  शान  से  हँसती  है ,
पर  अब  तो  वो  हर  अंदाज़  से  बेवफा  सी  लगती  है ।

------

मेरी  ज़िन्दगी  के  राज़  मैं  एक  राज़  तुम  भी  हो ,
मेरी  बंदगी  की  प्यास  मैं  एक  प्यास  तुम  भी  हो, 
तुम  क्या  हो  कुछ  तो  हो  या  कुछ  नहीं  मगर ,
मेरी  ज़िन्दगी  के  काश  मैं  एक  काश  तुम  भी  हो  ।

-------


दर्द की  महफ़िल  में  एक  शेर  हम  भी  अर्ज़  किया  करते  है,
न  किसी  से  मरहम  न  दुआओं  की  उम्मीद  किया  करते  है |
कई  चेहरे  लेकर  लोग  यहाँ  जिया  करते  है,
हम  इन  आसुंओं  को  एक  चेहरे  के  लिए  पीया  करते  है |

------


मैकदे  बंद  करे   लाख  ज़मानेवाले ,
शहर  में  कम  नहीं  आँखों  से  पिलानेवाले ।
काश  मुझको  लगाले  तू  कभी  सीने  से,
मेरी  तसवीर  को  सीने  से  लगानेवाले ।
हम  यकीन  आपके  वादेपे  भला  कैसे  करें,  
आप  हरगिज़  नहीं  वादा  निभानेवाले ।
अपने  ऐबों  पे  नज़र  जिनकी  नहीं  होती  हैं ,
आइना  उनको  दिखाते  हैं  ज़मानेवाले ।

-------


रूठ  जाते  हो  तो  कुछ  और  हसीं  लगते  हो ....
अरे हम  ने  ये  सोच  के  ही  तुम  को  खफा  रखा  है ।

-------


जी  नहीं  सकता  तो  जीने  की  तमन्ना  छोड़  दे ।
बहते  बहते  जो  टेहर  जाए  वो  दरिया  छोड़  दे ।
फूल  था  मैं मुझको  एक  काँटा  बना  के  रख  दिया ,
और  अब  कांटे  से  कहते  हो  की  चुभना  छोड़  दे ।

-------


पूरी  धरा  भी  साथ  दे  तो  और  बात  है ,
पर  तू  जरा  भी  साथ  दे  तो  और  बात  है ।
चलने  को  तो  एक  पाँव  पर  भी  चल  रहे  हैं  लोग ,
दूसरा  भी  साथ  दे  तो  और  बात  है ।

आज खुदा ने फिर पूछा
तेरा हसता चेहरा उदास क्यूँ है !
तेरी आँखों में प्यास क्यूँ है
जिस के पास तेरे लिए वक्त नही
वही तेरे लिए ख़ास क्यूँ है....

------


कुछ तो मजबूरिया रही होंगी ,
यूँ ही कोई बेवफा नहीं होता |
आपना  दिल  भी  टटोल   कर  देखो ,
फासला  बेवजह  नहीं  होता ।
जी  बहुत  चाहता  है  सच  बोले ,
क्या  करें  हौसला नहीं  होता ।।



Will try to share more, let it be a place (post) where I and you can share everything we love about music i.e. LIFE!!

कोशिश, प्रयास, प्रयत्न.......

बहुत सोचा, बहुत विचार  किया, दिमागी दौड़ करवा के देख ली... पर ऐसा लगता है की शायदइस कविता को या यू कहूं कि मेरे प्रयास के लिये इससे अच्छा शीर्षक फिलहाल मुझे सूझ नही रहा है| सच कहूं तो लिखने की कोशिश तो एक लम्बे  समय से हो रही है... दिन महीने बन गए और महीने साल पर पन्ने फटते गये, पंक्तिया मिटती गयी और अपनी कोशिश रही बेमिसाल|बेमिसाल इसलिए क्यूंकि इतने कुछ के बाद भी जब देखता तो समझ आता की नतीजा तो वो ही है सिफ़र | तब ऐसा भी लगने लगा की शायद लिखना मेरे लिए उतना ही कठिन है जितना सरल की गाना।

In short n sweet, बहुत  कोशिश के  बाद  भी  कुछ  ख़ास  नहीं  लिख  पा  रहा था,  पर  जैसा  कहते है की शायद समय, परिस्तिथि और उम्र आपको सब सिखा देती है । After all experience counts n yes even came to know that without any source of inspiration it’s really difficult to write something. इस बार कोशिश की है पढिये और अपनी  प्रतिक्रिया भी ज़रूर दीजिये |


जितना सोचा उतना अंसा नहीं था ये, कुछ जाना बड़ा अनजाना सा ये

कुछ खोया बहुत पाया सा ये, कुछ लम्हों में जीवन बिताया सा ये ।

हर सुबह होगा तेरी मुस्कुराहट का दीदार, यह सोच के रात का हर पल बिताया सा ये ।

उन जुल्फों का तेरे गालों पे आना, फिर उन नाज़ुक उंगलिओं से तेरा उन्हें हटाना

उस एक पल में जैसे सारा संसार भुलाया सा ये ।

कुछ खोया कुछ पाया सा ये, उन लम्हों में जीवन बिताया सा ये ।

कसमे हो तो तोड़ भी दूं , तूफाँ हो तो मोड़ भी दूं

चाहत हो तो छोड़ भी दूं , पर इस आदत के आगे अब मै क्या करूँ ??

बहुत खुद तो समझाया, मनाया, बुझाया सा ये ।

कुछ खोया कुछ पाया सा ये, उन लम्हों में सारा जीवन पाया सा ये ।

Yahoo Messenger Mystery Solved

One of the mostly used IM in the world and a common problem attached to it “Invisible Text”. It really destroys your mood when u ping someone using yahoo messenger and he/she is not able to view your ping but that’s not all even you are not able to see your ping.

You try every possible thing from changing the fount text/size/color to uninstalling n reinstalling of messenger, turning off firewall, clearing cookies n temp file, enable scripting etc. etc. etc. (n everything else) but the result is still same “Text on your YAHOO IM is still invisible”, so what’s the solution Guys give this a try and I am sure that it will work for you.

But before writing anything I would like to share a small story with you all n, by the end of the story, u will come to know how important Yahoo IM is for me n why I was forced to write this post (trick).

[ We used Yahoo Messenger in our office to chat with our team members and other colleague. I was new in the office when I received a ping “hi……….” (by a girl) I replied and chatted with her about myself, my hobbies etc. basically it was a normal chat of what one can have when u meet some new person.

But it doesn’t stop there and we felt that we have many things in common and then we used to chat almost whole day discussing on various topics including some topics which we only share with our close friends and soon we became very good friends. At that point I realized that I have started liking that girl and one day I thought of proposing her. But I was not having the courage to face her and to say about my feelings for her. So, I decided to say all that on Yahoo chat and I told her about my feelings on chat. What happened next is all history, but my first proposal to a girl was by Yahoo IM and that day I came to know how important Y-IM can be in one’s life. ]

So this solution is for all my friends for whom Y-IM act as a bridge to express their feelings……………….

Here is the solution for the famous Yahoo IM Mystery “The Invisible Text” -

Start-> Run-> Regedit-> Ok

HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> Software->Microsoft->Windows->Current Version->Internet Settings->Zones

Here there should be five zones from 0 to 4, but in your case there will be some more zones.
Delete all other zones and reboot.

Open Yahoo Messenger and check. You should be able to see the chat. I hope this works for you.
