Apne Purane TV aur uske stand ki yaad mein...

Kamre k koney pe khade,
logo k aakarshan se parey,
aate jaate logo ko niharte,
mere purane TV aur uske stand.


bachpan se jawani tak,
buniyaad se sans bahu ki kahani tak,
ramayan k do teen episode tak chalte ek teer ko,
nisankoch dikhate mere purane TV aur uske stand.


Guroor tumko tab bhi na tha,
jab aath (8) button k channello k saath tum aaye,
aur 100 channelo k remote se upgrade hue tab bhi,
antennae ghumwa k Durdarshan bhi tumne dikhaya,
aur padosi k cable k taar pe hook daal k zee star bhi.


Discovery dikha k gyan bhi badaya,
aur exams mein match dikha k anda bhi dilaya,
akelepan ka ram baan ilaaj the,
har mood k liye tumhare pass jawab the,


ghadi, chaabhi, chashma, purse,
sabhi ka tum ek the thikana,
keel, hathoda, screw driver,
aur na jaane kis kiska tum the khazana.


agarbatti ka sahara bhi tum,
foto frame ka aashiyana bhi tum,
CD, Cassatte, VCR, show piece ka,
maajhi aur kinara bhi tum.


Aaj LCD tumhari jagah diwaar pe tika hai,
2 by 3 ka kona soona dikha hai,
tumko hatwaya keh k ki jagah lete the,
par tum apna dukh kabhi kahan kehte the,


aaj ghar mein ghus k chabhi kahan rakhu yeh sochta hu,
aur tab tumko dil se yaad karta hu,


Alvida mere purane TV aur uske Stand.

आज कुछ अच्छा नहीं लग रहा, 

ज़िन्दगी एक नए मोड़ पे आ खड़ी है,

एक तरफ family, एक तरफ career,

तो एक तरफ दूर होते दोस्तों से जुडी है,

सब अपनी अपनी राहों में निकल रहे हैं,

जा रहे हैं, अपनी मंजिल की ओर,

और मैं आज एक लकीर पे खड़ा हू...

नहीं पता के जाना है इस डोर् या उस डोर,

अपनी ज़िन्दगी से कुछ वायदे किये हैं,

और कुछ वायदे किये हैं खुद से...

ज़ंजीरो की तरह बंधी हैं येह दोनों पाओ में...

खिच् रही है दो दिशाओ में,

कस्ती जा रही है, कस्ती जा रही है,

पर शायद... जान्ता हूं मैं के क्या सही है,

कुछ चीज़ें जो मैं शायद कभी बदल ना सकूं,

कुछ चीज़ें जो मैं शायद कभी समझा ना सकूं,

और शायद अपनी ज़िन्दगी में कभी कुछ लोगो को वापस पा ना सकूं,

आज फिर एक बार दिल की सुन्ने को जी चाहता है,

शायद आज दिल कहीं इस बात को जानता है,

"के शोहरत के दिन फिर आएँगे,

के तेरा मुकाम कहीं और है.

अपनों से दूर तू ना जा,

हर वक़्त कि बात कुछ और है.

सब पाया तूने जिन्के साये में,

उन्से बड़ा आज कौन और है"

Fear to speak?

I wont make it a huge elaborative text for you to read.. Because intent of writing this note is to understand the usefulness of language as a tool to communicate and barriers.
I was at my friend's place last night. We had a very good discussion over dinner. The agenda was to understand how can we communicate better. There were many things which we discussed about it and then I thought of sharing it with my readers to understand if our conclusion was really effective.


For effective communication, specially while addressing a huge crowd or while conducting an interactive session/discussion, there are following ingredients which are easy to be used and practiced.


- Content-fullness.
- Presence of mind.
- Line of talk.
- Comfort.
- Line of sight.


First two of the above can be sufficient for many people to address and communicate with their audiences. But I, here, writing it for everyone and just not for those 'many' people. May be all what I am writing may sound very obvious but then to them I would recommend not to read further from here. ;) But you would read anyway.. I know!


Lets start with 'Communication' itself. Communication is all about conveying the thought of one person to another, considering the fact that all what was intented to be conveyed has been recieved by other person with same authenticity. Communication can be done with various languages. Hindi, English, French, Pashto, sign language, Feelings, etc. Neh... feeling is not a language, its more of the imagination and assumptions than an acute channel of communication. ;) So in simple english, I speak you understand and you speak I understand, thats it. 
So, what content-fullness is all about? Its about preparing yourself for the communication. People with lack of content can easily be tricked and taken off the line of talk. More content and preparation is directly proportional to more control over your speech. Many people use fillers like  'ummm', 'ah', 'eh', 'I mean', 'you know', etc. We do that when we are out of thought or when we are calculating our speech. So, it is always better to know your audience before you prepare yourself for the speech. This way you know what level and complexity of content needs to be prepared. Always prepare your content according to your audience. You cannot talk about trigonometry to a 2 grade kid. It just does not sound right. You would not want to impress them by showing your vast knowledge rather you would tell them about shapes and impress them by sharing such knowledge which will help them. 


Presence of mind: 

The Key to Victory...

Till today, I have more than Seven years of experience as an IT professional and in these six years, I have changed almost six companies. Strange.. isn't it? Well... if it is right or wrong, I do not know. But Personally I believe is that, due to these career movements I could grow and know this industry better, made many corporate and personal contacts. And I have been doing well till now atleast. So all in all, I am happy with my state of work and position after six years.
So, "what is the right time for a change"? It completely depends on situation and need basis. Plus, on how you have planned your career, if you have actually planned it.
I guess.. you guys are not reading this blog to hear all this why and when.. What you are most interested in 'How'... "How to crack interviews", which is a good topic for a discussion.
Most of the people who hear about my experience and so many changes in such a short time, mostly ask me, "How you could make so many changes, don't they see so many changes in your resume?", "Isn't it unethical to make a change when company has invested so much in you and when its their time, you leave?", and many other related questions. My reply to all their such questions are mostly my smile :) , everyone loves to see it on my face, except you.. joking.. which part, you figure out! :D Anyways, surprizingly, my success rate of clearing interviews is more than 95%. Want to know, 'how'? Nothing comes for free.. You better give your opinion on this blog after reading it.
So now we'll be talking about 'The' thing. Always remember:You are an employee of an organization, not the owner, unless you have bought it's equities. They hire you because they need you, not because they love you.You are a 'Professional'.. at least feeel it. And If you have just been only feeling it and not actually are, try to be one.Any organization has its motives/business goals. Focus on that and try to self evaluate that how you are contributing. If you are not contributing then... I'll write another blog on this later someday, wait for that and read for sure.. better you subscribe my blog. :DAnd there are so many things you already know, I need not mention it here, so stop looking for those. You won't pay me anything for writing all of them here.The most important, "Never be in a Comfort Zone"!!!Everything mentioned/unmentioned/understood/assumptions till now is to make you feel better in life that it is not a harm to make a change when you 'actually' need it. Yeah.. when you actually need it.. The reason of such good success rate is that I take my sweet time to understand the following:Do I need a change?Do I really need a change?Third and most important. Am I serious, do I really need a change??!! Also think of, "why I need a change?". You would mostly know the answer of this at least.Finally, list down the companies, which can afford you and shortlist those companies from the list, which you wish to join. Look for consultants who work for them or any references in these companies. Applying through job sites never works. Remember, uploading your resume to a job portal and applying through a job portal are two different stories.. I said Applying through job portal never works. Btw, 'never' means 'mostly' here. :D Then wait for the call.. If you get it, you are halfway through.. and rest you can clear yourself, you are smart/intelligent people.. Thanks you so much for reading my blog!
Always remember, your resume shows what you are, so when you spend so much money on yourself, atleast spend some time on your resume.. it should look good, sober and informative.
Finally, following are the ingredients of the success:
Do your homework:1. Know what they are and what they want. (very important)2. Know what you are. (atleast, do it carefully)
In the Interview:Listen to Interviewer and his questions, if not clear then ask to repeat. Its no harm to ask him again. Its a trick as well, it buys you time to respond (My close friend does that with me, when we do argument). But the interviewer can be smart enough to understand this. So remember, its a trick, not a practice.Always talk about 'The big picture'.Make it a discussion rather than an interogation.Take the interviewer in your comfort zone.Fit yourself in their organisation.Keep rolling the ball, with a string attached to your hand. Dont take it literally.. Understand the meaning. If not clear, ask me.. remember!? no harm in asking!There are two types of interview: Intervewer Driven and Interviewee Driven. Choose your way. Obviously! Choose to drive the interview.And the most important... Look like a product, not a waste. I mean keep elite set of clothes.In half an hour to one hour or some more, no one can judge anyone's abilities or capabilities. So, choose what you wish to speak and show what you want to show. And even then if you can't clear it...then consider them smarter than you, rather, understand that they have their fundas clear in life.
Overall, always remember, it is a mental game, play it, don't be played.
All the best!
Now.. feedback time..

A Perfect Date

It started raining... rain drops poured so heavily. Loud roaring Clouds painted the sky in myriad shades of grey. duhh... this ain’t a thriller sequence!!! Man I really love rain… and guess what it was my first date. :) I never had this feeling ever in my life before. I was so excited ever since we both planned this… Officially! You know what I mean.. Had a sleepless night and damn I didn’t know what to wear … even out of my new wardrobe. I was my kiddish best with nothing to wear on a 'Date'!! Anyway, that didn't matter much when under the morning sun my sweetest clouds made the streets glisten with water. Hehe ...I hate what rain does to motor drivers, turning them into un proclaimed Da Vincis and Picassos splashing muddy water around..grrr.. But I had my romantic spirits high as a smooth, soothing rhyme was playing in my head. This was a never before feeling.

Finally I was ready to meet my princess. If I had ever been equally excited for school, I would have turned out a smarter student and would have a better girlphrend.. eeekk...I didn’t mean that! ;) Plan was to grab some tid-bits at the coffee shop, then a romanchik movie and then a good authentic Thai lunch would have ended the perfect day.

On the way, I stopped to buy her a bunch of white and pink Lilies. Such beautiful flowers that at one point, I thought of keeping them for myself :) With two movie tickets tucked safely in my pocket I reached the coffee shop …crap I reached there almost half n hour before ...before even the coffee shop had to open! :( ..and another hour before we had to meet! :D So in the mean time I thought of being little romantic about the situation… It was still raining... coffee shop guys had now come to open the shop and I had the flowers taken away only to be brought to the table once she arrived.

Then I waited for her as I saw the streets getting washed off in the rain from window. I love it, when rain drops fall on glass windows and drip till the window sill. It looks so peaceful ..isn't it? The melodies were still playing in my head making the moment very special. At the same time, the excitement of it all was giving me butterflies in my stomach as if I had to put up some stage performance.

I checked the time with the coffee guy. It was half an hour past the time we had actually decided to meet. It was getting bad… I, till now, had had around 3 coffee shots. That day, for the first time in my life, I waited for someone for around 3 hours, had no less than 6 cups of coffee ..and the BEST PART: She didn't even turn up… WOW!

I went back home, could not even ask back my flowers and kept those movie tickets as a souvenir of the most traumatic 3 hours movie of my life, WHICH WAS SHOT ON ME.

:) Well, now when I look back in time and think of that day …I smile and feel good about one thing, that it rained that day.

I being a Mother
