Love Quote of the Month..

Few lines i read in one of the website last week... quite very simple and true words... written by someone in love.. :)
I can let go,
I can forgive,
I can move on,
but i WILL never stop loving you..

Kahin To...

Some lines that had to find a place in my blog...something that i keep singing since quite a time now.. :)
So here they are..

Kahin to.. kahin to
Hogi wo,
Duniya jahan tu mere saath hai..

Jahan mein, jahan tu,
Aur jahan, bass tere mere jazbaat hai,
Hogi jahan subah teri,
Palko ki, kirano mein,

Jaane naa kahan wo duniya hai,
Jaane naa wo hai bhi ya nahi,
Jahan meri zindagi mujhse,
Itni khafa nahi...

Saasein kho gayi hai kiski aahon mein,
Mein kho gayi hu jaane kiski baahon mein,
Manzilon se raahein doodhti chali,
Kho gayi hai manzil kahin rahon mein..

Kahin to, kahin to,
Hai nasha..
Teri meri har mulaqaat mein..

Jahan hai tu, meri hassi,
Meri khushi, meri jaan…

Devil's Advocate..

Some thought provoking stuff... some video that my brother sent me a couple of days back made me think twice before I could complain about my own life!! This video is about this small kid who speaks in so many languages to sell his peacock fans…he has not seen a school is his life…but speaks languages so that the different tourists will understand what he is saying… :)
i always used to think that life is unfair to me...i always felt i am not even living my own life...may be jus doing things that everyone else is telling me to do...rather than doing something that i would have wanted to do!! i always felt things were imposed on me...i am sure everyone makes compromises in life... you dont really get all that you ever wanted for your life!! i dont know how good it is to look back into the pages of life gone yellow...but sometimes it helps...surely it does... you realize how much you have grown up in life...how much you have learnt from things and people whom you met... and sometimes i feel like i lived in a painted life...a world painted by people around me... a world where i dint really know or understand what i was doing...but all i did was do my job in the space given to me at that time...and doesnt it sound so perfect now?? We all do that...at some point in our lives we do make decisions that are overwhelmed by others...i always wanted to advocate my own desires...thinking why always do i have to do things that others tell me rather than doing my own thing!! And then i realize that i atleast have the privilege of looking back at my life and saying i lived a life...and there still are people who cant remember where or to whom they were born!! there are people who still cant manage to fill their stomach full cuz they cant afford to do that...and i see myself complaining about the food that i get...not thinking that i am atleast getting it... there are still people who are not so privileged to get an education...and i see myself thinking that i could have gotten a better degree... there are some small children i see on the roads who are urging you to buy just one handkerchief from them...that will fetch them 2 Rupees...and may be a nite's food!! and i say i dont like my profession cuz my manager makes me work too much!! i spend almost a fortune to learn some new foreign language cuz that’s the “IN” thing to be knowing a new language… and I see this small kid speaking in different languages to make more customers buy his stuff… I don’t step out in the sun saying its sultry and it makes me tired…and I see these small feet wandering ceaselessly to acquire a living…and what a life is that!? I know we all go thru hardships and difficult commitments in our lives… but there are some who go thru difficult states jus to even obtain a life…
the next time before I say life has been unfair to me…I am definitely gonna think about this lingo kid…who doesn’t even care for the rain or sun…or the fun or the hardships...or the pain or the suffering...or for what hes missing in his life...cuz he has a bigger concern… he has to sell his fans before dusk so that he can get some money that can afford him food for the day… cuz thats LIFE for him...
And I used to think life is unfair to me!!??
Is there one who is advocating for him!!?? And still he smiles.. :)

Tera Deewana..

Kaise kahoon…tujhse roobaroo
Hai yahaan dabe hue
dil ke kai armaan
Dushwar tere bin
hai ye saara jahaan
Ye dil khol doon
kambhakt tu kar ishaara
Mujhme shaamil tu hai sada
Jane jahaan main tera deewana…

Entry Level Dreams.. :)

Entry Level Trainee Professional (ELTP)... i know it doesnt ring any bell in your minds... except until yu are a great ELTP...well it does more than jus ringing the right bells for me.. its something so close to me...My days as an ELTP in Satyam...those were the fabulous 3 months that wil be the closest to my heart always.. joining formalities in viceroy.. pre ELTP assessment @ East wing STC...orientation/induction @ STC CC... and then the series of loooong fun filled days in East wing...amazing rains in hyd... unforgettable trips 2 bahadurpally everyday... in the cosiness of the super deluxe buses... those waits at the football ground bus stop...and then those fights 2 get d best seat wen d bus arrives... those resentments between the northie and southie gang in d bus over which language song the driver shud play...thank GOD the driver got so pissed off that he actually stopped playing songs after a few days...ahh and how can one ever forget the overly smooth roads of bahadurpally village... any sane person wud have gotten a headache travellin in those roads...but all was FUNNNN....and then those morning and evening shifts in CC...those runs for d bus...those calls 2 the busrep to stop d bus near the airport runway... those teusday saree sessions... those amazing breakfasts and evening snacks at d CB cafe... cant forget the ever so tasty chicken dosa.. and the awesome frankies...

And the best part was...afcourse the weekly assessments... ahh..raghuveer sir...hanu ghosala...vijaya kaparthi... oww wat a program manager man...she hated the site of me i think...jus dint lik me for no reason watsoever... according to her i was never "PROACTIVE"... may be i shud hav shown my proactivity in getting her out of her role itself man...wat a lady... :)
and who can forget our funny seminars... people, jus because they had been given a chance, spoke about what all and what not... so much for one 15 minute seminar....and that seminar actually became "THE" topic of the day, "THE" highlight of the day... amazing topics.. :)
those days of case studies...all masti and no studies... all we knew was that we were making something great rather than breaking wat was already there... final day...well our team dint hav a deliverable cuz of our soooo effortful efforts.. :)
those sale seasons in shopper's stop/mochi/pantaloons... those trips to the hyd central/mangatrai...those visits to abids/choodi bazaar/necklace road...those hot hot biryanis in paradise...those bowls of yummy double ka meetha... its all magic...i think it still gives me a nice flavour in my mouth.. and who cud forget the awesssssome alankrita day...what a day and wat major fun!! i miss those days...more than wat any words cud ever describe...those days have given me more than i can ever say... :)
i will cherish every bit of it always.. :)

and and and our ever so sweet nagaraju domala.. he was d lifeline of d mainframes practice i guess.. and wat a way to get a gud feedback from the naive ELTPs... wil come one fine day and give a touching speech... " who among you gave a bad feedback for me.. (and instead of asking what he was lacking that we gave a bad feedback...he wil actually blackmail us to give him a better feedback.. he he he)...yu know i was always number one and jus because of yur bad feedback i have moved to the 2nd spot ( i wonder if he was ever number one man...cuz one of my seniors told me he gave the same speech last year...and the year before that.. :)) so people please consider again and give a good feedback for me...it hurt me alot so please dont let me down this time(by d way sir...please don let us down by yur boring presence...please teach us something useful na)..." anyways..those were the days of feedbacks and impressions...and everyone was busy creating a gud one thinking they wil move into the best projects if they stayed gud in those important people's eyes..but who knew in those days that project allocation was all random...based on a pot luck... :)

And these were the things the ELTP dreams were made of...all we knew was that MF has a load of onsite oppurtunities... and we are now part of a BIG BIG corporate world... and we r gonna enter REAL projects and work for REAL BIG (fortune 500) clients... little did we knw what dirt we are getting ourselves into...all we knew was that we were software engineers...in d making...major big people...gonna be doing some major big stuff in life.. :)

saare sapne kahin kho gaye...haaye hum kya se kya ho gaye.. :)

Children of Heaven..

This is an Iranian Film that deals with a brother and sister and their adventures over a lost pair of shoes.. i know the subject can be something very meagre for someone like you and me who possess dozens of pairs...matching almost every dress in our wardrobe... but if you watch the movie you'll know how much it means for someone who has only that one pair and cant afford to even buy a replacement pair..
The story is simple but must say well taken.. though it just shows the routine life of a gardener whos income is just enough to make his 2 children get an education and treat his ill wife at home...but the emotions depicted in some clips are really touching.. the love between the siblings, the way they plan to hide the lost shoes from their parents, the way each one sacrifices for the other...its all jus too touching..
Simple movie with a theme to touch your heart... watched something like this after so many days... jus the right thing for a lazy rainy afternoon.. :)
