Train have rhythm

You are strong only on rails, but i wish to be strong everywhere else.
I don't need to run very fast as i have future to architect and past to glance.

With dreams on one rail and efforts on other, they agreed to meet before horizon.
My life Balancing between the two, full of hopes and threats till the infinity is true.

My thoughts following no schedule, I aspire to be on right station in-spite of travelling on the wrong track.
Travelers getting on and off, but i want every travel to be a journey of life.

We can travel together for sometime, with you telling your story and i telling mine.
Trains and rains are alike, waiting in the rain for trains.


Walk in the rain

Rain has an art which I don't have, So I eagerly wait for the RAINS.

Your tears are so true & divine making me forget all my pains.
I never missed getting drenched, with tiny drops rolling on my face.
Flowers smiling and tree dancing you still making me all delight.

Nature will dance to your tune, tree will clap welcoming you
Beautiful colors in the sky with lovely rainbow all set to fly.
Cool breeze and drops on trees will make a perfect shower with every fall.

You are a free bird but I have many boundaries of the materialistic world.
Please be there even if it getting late as I will be there to greet you with a smile. 
Till then I have meetings to attend and will meet you after my commitments.

Be there tomorrow as well as I will be OOO and can admire you throughout the noon
You remind me of my childhood, cherishing my every moment every when and then.
I know you are there even now but let the chaotic traffic settle out.

Rain has an art which I don't have, So I eagerly wait for the RAINS.

Aaj phir meine apne bachpan ko dekha

 आज फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा
आँगन में नहाते, एक  दूसरे को नहलाते।
मैंने खुद को अपने बच्चो में देखा
 आज फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा !!

तितलियाँ तो वही थी, रंग भी वही थे
मैंने अपने बच्चो को उनके पीछे जाते देखा।
आज  फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा !!

कचरे को आग लगाते, टिकलियो  को चटखाते
मस्ती से आळंदीत मैंने बच्चो को देखा ।
आज  फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा !!

प्रियसी प्रिया को आज भी झगड़ता पाया
दोनों माँ को झगड़ा सुलझाता पाया
आज  फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा !!

वक़्त के साथ बदली हुवी चीजों को देखा
रेल , घर  और सड़क सभी को बढ़ते देखा
आज  फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा !!

दोस्तों और भाई का इंतजार करते खुद को पाया
मुझे अपना बचपन बहूत याद आया ।
आज  फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा !!

वक़्त के साथ न बदलने वाला दिल पाया
मैंने उन रास्तो गलियो में अपना बचपन पाया ।
आज  फिर मैंने अपने बचपन को देखा !!


It was all Remembering you


Remembering you, your touch which was all human, full of care, Love and Life,
Today there are human surroundings but the appeal of love and care is missing.

You were always near to the heart and were reachable on a short walk,
Today still you are near but not reachable even after miles of walk.

Time use to accelerate when we use to unite,
Today I have all the hell time and want someone to reunite.

Life acted too smart separating me from my loved ones,
Today I want someone to give me some loved ones.

My happy time ended so small with all my efforts failing to stop,
Whatever was to happen, happened  unexpectedly very true.

I recognize that even If I surrender my earned and gains of life
I can’t tradeoff the wonderful time and neither can ask to spare you for me.

I never wanted to speak as you were the world of words for me,
Today I struggle for a world who could share a word with me.

Everyone struggle is to make the ends of life meet,
Today it seems that life has cam to meet the end.
                                                                                                                                                     
It was all remembering you.


Nation First!!

Every job requires some sort of experience, learning or hands on experience, as there’s a thin line of differentiation between competency and ability. You may have ability to fly a aircraft, but the competency gives you much confidence of actually flying off the grounds. 

Only in Politics, you can find such exceptions where you free to choose any political wing and doesn't require prior experience; through I don’t buy this bite, but this is what eminent & prevalent now a days. We have many politicians into active  politics getting their Political trajectory from their father and grandfathers as ancestral assets; politics for them being a sort of Family run business. On the other hand we have many political leaders who started their career as mere party workers and slowly got  recognition and with time, emerged as national leaders primarily because of their competency and ability, management skills, coordination, planning & execution. 

In current political context of India we also have some emerging politicians who are mere rebellions of the society, puking and criticizing all-in-one and everyone under the sun. The irony was that such politicians got attention and sympathy of masses and were able to secure considerable amount of seats in assembly elections.  

But as experience does matter all the Air castles came crashing leaving behind unfulfilled promises, duped voters, & dissatisfied team members. One could see the inexperienced team failing on all the fronts of Governance and inability of management, coordination and execution were clearly visible in all their deeds. 

As a citizen of country I got worried when the party resigned on an issue, If I would have been in place I would have created a consensus across the board and would have derived a win-win situation but as stated earlier, experience and skills does matter a lot, indeed they were not able to converge the diverse interests to mutually satisfying outcomes. 

National Election being a broader horizon where the ruling party has to deal with lot of cross border issues including issues of nation interest; what if they elected to majority, but again put a resignation on the grounds of not getting support from other players as the inherent problem of ill-experience still persist. 

I think better proposition for them would have been, if they would have proved themselves on Governance, expectation and promise made during the election campaign, gather some experience instead of bad mouthing about everyone. 

What I understand politics in nutshell is "Getting people with different goals and interests to cooperate”, which means one has to always deal with people of diversified interests. So whenever you are there to vote think of all the issues of Governance, track Record, persistence, Family drama and Nation. After all “Nation First”

Trip to home town


It has been almost 9 months I visited my jamabhumi, karmabhumi so this weekend we planned to visit our home town on a quick note…; Evidently there exist some relationship which pushes me back to pavilion… kids were also excited of a small vacation but they didn’t wanted to end up landing in my hometown Ujjain for name sake; they till date didn’t understood the concept of power cuts and shortage of water. They wanted some thrill and action packed holiday instead.

They kept me suggesting many places to visit on this short weekend, were comparing the cities, amenities, recreation, outing and what not. It was tough for me to convince them but with a loose promise of some movies I lured them to board the evening train aka sham-wali-gadi….

A movie in theater appeared like a jackpot they were so damn excited; as a matter of fact Kids for that matter have never visited any of the booming multiplexes except that for one or two occasion when the school gave them a exposure to some mythological and patriotic movies to a nearby theatre. As I’m not a movie buff and it has been almost 15 years since I last saw a movie in theater and hence kids never got a chance to visit this theater for any of the pot boiler movies.

There School pals might been talking about and discussing stories of the movies they might have recently watched and I felt that my kids are really missing something here; answering to the situation I thought of visiting movie theatre. We use to watch movie on TV @ home but never visited theatre as watching movies @ home gives one an ease to control timings, moods and lot of variable parameters which could never happen in theater.

I also felt the span of three hours in a theater was sufficient enough to eat up the entire day as a matinee would crush the evening lights.. and so on so forth. But I surrendered my moods and thoughts to trash and started looking for theatres in the vicinity.

But in the recent past most of the theatres couldn’t survive the challenges from video piracy and cable war and were mostly closed out. The land bank was either surrendered to real estate developers and the vultures nested on many such monuments making it a archeological remains that boast of a “once upon a time” story…..small cities that once boast to have 10 movie theatre had now only 2 to 3 movie theatre functional with poor quality infrastructure. The condition is really working only and it appeared like a punishment to sit in the theatre for 3 long hours.

The movie appeared to be sluggish like the daily soap we watch on TV…. a skanky biography of a danseuse ... the Dirty Picture….and so the surroundings, people nearby enjoying the feverish moment & visual gyration … more a skin show and sarcastic adult comedy…. It was all Fxxxx… Correction sought Filmy.

Vision

Visionary are those who can envision the future! Most of us are inspired by numerable told untold stories of visionaries; which been inspiring and motivating us during different walks of life. Many of the visionaries have left behind a legacy, which is more enduring and timeless.

Inspiration and insight to look ahead in future proved helpful to the organizational assets on 5th June-2012 when the day came challenging and it’s only because of the vision and farsightedness; the decision taken in year 2005 helped us in avoiding a major setback. The eventful day was sufficient enough to force us to close some portion of the business deliverables.

June -2005 when we were working on an deliverable having huge open content no one thought that huge traffic and search engines will hit the pages, but anticipating the future requirement and traffic pattern, the decision maker decided to deliver it through a flat file structure instead of the conventional database structure. Though this decision was challenged by colleagues and stakeholders but the decision maker was firm to execute the project through a new approach.

Things fallen in line as per expectation, huge internet traffic started flocking those pages and decision appeared as a vision and the decision maker as visionary.

On that eventful day some portion of the database which uses to be the base for executing the deliverable got dropped accidentally, over and above this portion of database carried a lot of interconnectivity within itself and other applications and structures as well. As it was the root element, many functionality were anticipated to malfunction. But to our surprise everything was working normal and no one could felt any denial of services.

Later team learnt that though the crucial portion of database was dropped but it use to serve like a centre warehouse to publish information to different architectures and other dependencies were only subscribers. Everything connected to it was depended on it but was nicely crafted to have manipulated redundancy of information and files.

Today we thank the decision maker for being firm on his decision because of which the organization have avoided a major downtime in deliverables.

Moral learned being “Our Futures is decided by the today’s decisions.”
