I absolutely love the fact that with such simple words he puts across a very strong message!His poems are an absolute inspiration to me,always!</br>
<br>NEVER GIVE UP is only mantra to success. Lot of talent is lost just because we give up and the only difference between the person who succeeds and the person who doesn't is the later didn't put-in enough.</br>
<br>So keep doing, keep improving and you will be there, where you want to be. Koshish karne walo ki kabhi haar nahi hoti!</br>
<b><br>लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।</br>
<br>नन्हीं चींटी जब दाना लेकर चलती है,
चढ़ती दीवारों पर, सौ बार फिसलती है।
मन का विश्वास रगों में साहस भरता है,
चढ़कर गिरना, गिरकर चढ़ना न अखरता है।
आख़िर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।</br>
<br>डुबकियां सिंधु में गोताखोर लगाता है,
जा जा कर खाली हाथ लौटकर आता है।
मिलते नहीं सहज ही मोती गहरे पानी में,
बढ़ता दुगना उत्साह इसी हैरानी में।
मुट्ठी उसकी खाली हर बार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।</br>
<br>असफलता एक चुनौती है, इसे स्वीकार करो,
क्या कमी रह गई, देखो और सुधार करो।
जब तक न सफल हो, नींद चैन को त्यागो तुम,
संघर्ष का मैदान छोड़ कर मत भागो तुम।
कुछ किये बिना ही जय जय कार नहीं होती,
कोशिश करने वालों की कभी हार नहीं होती।</br></b>

<Br>Came across this beautiful Bhajan by Meera Bai, while attempting to dance/perform/prepare for the upcoming Kathak exam. It had Lata Mangeshkar's voice and a little "old-song" feel to it. Neverthless, saw the dance choreographed by my teacher/Guru Alpanaji and was amazed by the simplicity and the beauty of her choreography. Really loved it. </br>
<br>This post is an attempt to translate what I understood from this Bhajan. Maybe it helps me perform better or give expressions while performing it. </br>
<br>I am a self professed fan of Krishna and I love him to every bit (i can paint only him). So could relate to this song in some way, also Meera is my favourite person's name (my grandma).The story of Meera Bai has always intrigued me. Her selfless love is something which is not easy to find.</br>
<b> Translation: </b>
<br><b>paayoji maine ram ratan dhan paayo:</b> I have got the love of my beloved lord Krishna</br>
<br><b>Vastu amolik dee mera sataguru, kripaa kar apnaayo:</b>Lord has given me a priceless thing, he has accepted my worship and love </br>
<br><b>janam janam ki punji payee, jag mein sabhi khovayo:</b>In the form of his love and acceptance i have got the treasure of life-time and i have lost everything else to this world</br>
<br><b>kharcha na khute chor na lute, din din badath savaayo:</b>The treasure of his love doesn't decrease by spending and no thief can ever steal it, with each passing day it only increases</br>
<br><b>sat ki naav khevatiya satguru, bhavsagar tar'aayo:</b>The boatman of my life is Lord Krishna and with his help i have crossed oceans</br>
<br><b>meera ke prabhu giridhar nagar ,harash harash jas gaayo:</b>My lord is Krishna and i sing his praises to everyone with lot of joy</br>

The book describes his journey from his childhood in the interiors of Orissa to becoming the COO of Mindtree. Found it good, few take away points:<br /><br />1. Don't hesitate to move on...<br />2. Communicate with people and stay connected *nokia helps*<br />3. Don't be afraid to start all over again<br />4. Respect your work<br />5. To receive something first give<br />6. All manifestations starts with a dream! Dream,Desire and Act<br />7. Respect people and their capabilities..don't condem<br />8. All business decisions are 99% emotional and 1% business<br />9. Work at any place as an entreprenur<br />10.Build a strong support system<br />11.Instead of trying to impress your boss, treat your subordinates well...they may actually lead to all the success. <br />12.

But it remained imbibed in my memory so strongly that it hits back at me whenever it can.<br /><br />At a recent visit to my cousin's shaadi, the memories came back again and scared me again!<br /><br />Bidaai means that you are no longer a part of the family you were born to, from now on you are free to use your husband's name, you will no longer have a space in the house where you have spent ages, you suddenly become a integral part of your husband's family and you have a set of parents there who you have to respect & love as parents without expecting them to reciprocate or without you having a right on them as you would have on your own parents. Is it a process of disowning daughter...changing the priorities for her and for the family. For the girl suddenly husband and his family is the priority! <br /><br />Am sure it is difficult on parents as it is on the girl.For parents, their kid is everything, since the time the kid comes to the world their lives have revolved around the baby and suddenly they realise that no longer will the girl who was the centre of their life should be anymore be there for them!!<br /><br />Strange are the ways of life!Suruchihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623639076622123345noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032305426951987301.post-13655518424377031642009-02-24T21:52:00.001-08:002009-02-24T22:35:24.288-08:00Eerie!Yesterday's lunch at office was rather eeire rather it got eerie!The reason, all of sudden we started discussing some weird stories that some of us had experienced. Started with VD telling about him seeing a "Chudail" on a terrace of a building oppposite to his and as per him she was wearing white saree and was laughing like an evil!! The scene was straight out of Ramsay movies (given that VD has fascination to all crappy bollywood movies - he sees Ajooba on Zee Movies everytime its aired). The stories started building up with everyone narrating incidents that they have gone through or someone close has experienced.I was rather shut and only listening cause what i have experienced would have sent chill down everyones spine! so decided to blog those experiences! they are very personal, but scary too.<br /><br />1. Our neighbour for five years now, Mrs M, she is rather reclusive and doesnt venture out and rather sits at home and does nothing. Husband has a good high paying job and has two grown-up kids.Once on the staircase, i tried to be social(for a change) and asked her "how she is doing?"!That was it, she spoke for next half and hour (on stairs) and i was listening dumbfounded!<br /><br />Apparently the building we live in is haunted (as per her)! She experiences weird things in her house,like as soon as you stand under a shower,it starts automatically with a gush of hot water. She and her daughter have faced instances like hair pulling etc.The ghosts appraently have detoriated her health and her peace of mind (but ofcourse)<br /><br />Why i listened her out and did speak a word, cause when i use to be at home i use to hear someone calling me ....<br /><br />2. Another very eeire incident! Rather very personal,ideally would have kept it to myself,but probably posting it here will relieve me of something.Its about my best friend for years.She is now is US with her two kids and hubby.Probably i miss her a lot or is there any reason to it, i don't know, but I dream frequently that her hubby has died and his body was exhumed from their apartment.Wow! so much so, the dream feels so real that once i almost got up at 4 in the morning and dialed her number...<br /><br />3. This story is about a colleague in my x organisation.He met with a ghastly accident and died.Went to the hospital where is body was kept, before his parents could claim it. Was shattered to see him.Had always seen him young, full of energy and always cracking jokes,just couldn't see him lying so lifeless. I still see him somewhere...rather its like someone is crossing and i think its him...<br /><br />4.This one is about a dear colleague who lost her father.Few days after her father was cremated, saw a v strange dream.

In the evening my parents had gone to the bride's place for some ritual and they would be back by 8! Me and my bro stayed back, people started coming in and we decorated our place, as soon as we got to know mom and dad were back we switched off lights and they came wondering why all the lights are off as soon as they entered we made Advika say "Happy Anniversary" in her own special way and the lights were switched on to a cake,lot of friends and relatives. Mom and Dad were pleasantly surprised and loved the entire evening do we had organised. My grandparents were thrilled with what we did and in the pic you see my dadi giving blessings to my mom and dad!!<br /><br />Never loved this pic so much before this :-)!Suruchihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623639076622123345noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032305426951987301.post-66258676408404597792008-12-14T22:43:00.000-08:002008-12-18T06:55:48.215-08:00The Dark (K)nightI am not a Hollywood buff,rather i can avoid Hollywood movies at any cost and any time.I blame them for the themes they come up with for making movies,which i can't relate to. Every other movie has someone attacking earth (most of the cases aliens), then there is some supernatural act in play or there is some weird creature who has inhabitated planet earth and is going to destroy it.Then there are vampires and werewolves who are habitats of earth and are fighting with each other for some or the other reason!!No doubt the movies are excellent technologically and are very logical.There are movies like transporter,Die hard etc which are just so much taxing to watch. Harry potter series is a serious blunder as far as the book is concerned, they just couldn't get the gist in three hour.But then you would question as to why soo many of them have i seen...the reason is simple...I HAVE TO!! cos as a part of my commitment to A we decided to indulge in each other's intreset,so if he can take salsa classes with me, i have to go back and watch all the underworld series with him!!I can narrate the history of vampires and the story of the underworld.<br /><br />I had to accompany A to a movie on his fave Batman. I never read Batman comics as a kid.Those comic strips were too gross for me.But movie i had to see...the Dark Knight! So far so good! When i see a Hollywood flick i expect it to be logical (unlike bollywood movies) and can be explained.So this batman movie i expected to be completely logical! As the movie started playing i had my doubts (considering that movie was a box office success)!The Joker really bemused me.I didnt understand him.Why was he doing what he was! Burning heap of notes,blowing up the hospital, bombing the police station, poisoning the mind of the twin face...why...just for the heck of it.Then the batman, why didnt he kill Joker,when he could have? Why doesn't he save his love intrest?<br /><br />My colleague in D worships Batman, i actually happen to discuss the movie with him and i did question him. He explained me why Batman doesn't kill Joker and how he missed saving his love interest...sounded valid...<br /><br />Still missing was erratic behaviour of Joker...but the day i switched on the television on the 27th of November and saw those people firing at the innocent, the first thing that came to my mind was Joker...no demands, no grudges...just plain killing and destruction. <br /><br />So if the Joker exists...the Batman also should!?Suruchihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623639076622123345noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032305426951987301.post-15998369946985006802008-11-29T07:35:00.000-08:002008-11-29T08:09:52.502-08:00is it so easy to kill?!take a gun and shoot...just shoot anyone, whoever comes to your sight.

Brida - From the Paulo Coelho book. She is a witch and deep down somewhere, I feel I am a witch too. The lessons she learns on faith, soulmates, love, passion, belief are realistic and put together in a manner which makes you ponder.<br /><br />2. Shyamchi Aai (Shyam's Mother) - This is one character i have always looked upon. The novel by the same Title (Shyamchi Aai) by Sane Guruji very aptly describes and etches out need of mother in a child's life, her meaning to the kid, her influence on her child and changes she can bring about. I love the values that this character stands for! <br /><br />3. Hermione Granger - Just love the attitude and brains of this character. <br /><br />4. Samwise - LOTR character, Frodo's best friend is my fave. Just love the way he stood by Frodo through thick and think.<br /><br />5. Jonathan Livingston Seagull – Love his passion to learn more and fly higher. <br /><br />6. I love the characters sketched in the plays written by P.L Deshpande. The characters are common people and integrated very beautifully with the play of humor and sarcasm.<br /><br />7. Petruchio of Taming the Shrew - Love the way this hubby tames his wife. It is hilarious and you tend to love the character.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQwtd_i5ukF2o61trSG-n-5tOoSu90tYE6TnQybNTY37eYPMR4cLMyU5jf_Op2sPVfHlSz450skk4eX6nffj7Ue7Q6e-Urib6rA6tq3FYr-zWGz1xG2a4JqCpilCYQ4QwkljfiWxqDiMrl/s1600-h/dennis_the_menace_articleimage.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQwtd_i5ukF2o61trSG-n-5tOoSu90tYE6TnQybNTY37eYPMR4cLMyU5jf_Op2sPVfHlSz450skk4eX6nffj7Ue7Q6e-Urib6rA6tq3FYr-zWGz1xG2a4JqCpilCYQ4QwkljfiWxqDiMrl/s200/dennis_the_menace_articleimage.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223217763884084098" /></a><br />8. Dennis the Menace- This is one is the naughtiest character whose intentions are never bad. Love the way he gets himself and people around him into trouble. <br /><br />9. Nancy Drew - She was my fave during school days. Loved her adventurous life and her never say die attitude.Suruchihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623639076622123345noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3032305426951987301.post-30957671993576342722008-07-14T02:18:00.000-07:002008-07-15T02:39:22.972-07:00Tag comes from none other than <a href="http://rayshmadoodlez.blogspot.com/">rayshma</a><br />these are the steps that were followed...with few difficulties albeit:<br />1.

I'll be there for you, 'Cause you're there for me too!<br /><br />These lines sum up what friendship really means,you just have to be there for each other come what may! and with age,marriage,children,jobs it so difficult to hold onto such friends!And if you still have friends on whom you can bank upon and be your very own self ...no pretensions,no hypocricy, just plain friendship nothing else! you must be the blessed one!<br /><br />So this post is to people who have been there for me and have made difference to my life!<br /><br />rayshma: She is THE reason of me been what i am today,professionally as well as personally!i was new to mumbai when i met her and use to feel and look like a lost soul!From her i learned how to be politically correct, how to give good spanking without making others feel bad about it, how to write stinkers, how to network ,how to handle difficult situations,how to follow up , how to enjoy,how not to crib,how to love food and so on and so forth! Had best of my times with her while watching Hindi movie,eating out , having coffee and apple cake and planet m barista,getting high, laughing over at almost nothing,ganging against people like oz,mithrani,AH!So much so that i couldn't imagine that she would just go away one day to US and leave me alone here! She means so much to me and whenever i am in a fix i think if reshma would have been here what would she have done and i get the solution to my problem! sounds filmy<span style="font-size:78%;">*most of my posts do!*</span>but very true!<br /><br />V,KJ &M: I have to write about the three togther,cause if we four are not together we feel something is missing! They are very much the reason that i enjoy my work at D!<br /><br />V:he is king of comedy!can pull out jokes and bring smile onto your face even in the worst of the situations when a hearty laugh is miles away! he can just say a line and everything eases out like there was no trouble at all,you just needed to smile! People confide in him a lot,don't know why,but ya people do!His understanding about women in general is good *he claims to have more than 10 affairs -<span style="font-size:78%;">he is married though to a bong girl after going around with her for almost 10 yrs</span>*!he means a lot to us - we can depend on him for almost anything,he is just a phone call away!<br /><br />KJ: She is a kid with a pure heart...so pure that i doubt if she has any secrets in her life or whether can she ever keep a thing secret in her life...so much so that even if kj has to go to loo, everyone in our corridor will come to know of it..LOL! She is the life ! Always giving us enough reasons to pull her legs,tease and make fun of and still not feel bad about it!Professionally i really appreciate the amount of efforts she puts in and so does D...she got spot award<span style="font-size:78%;">*best employee award*</span> as a recognition of all her efforts!<br /><br />M:He is gujju to the core!!Snacks is spelt as snakes and drop is spelt as drope in his gujju dictionary! And for all this he pays a heavy price...getting pulled at every now and then! but when it comes to xls and numbers he is just amazing and impressive. The magic xls sheet that he creates for all our expenditures is just too confound and i really can't make head our tail out of it! <span style="font-size:78%;">*he is a CA and we make him do MIS and invoicing*</span>If i visit orkut twice a day then he visits moneycontrol like 10 times a day and saving money is his motto! but behind all this is a person who is very caring ,understanding and helpful! <span style="font-size:78%;">*for reshma- he is married to a bong as well*</span><br /><br />So when these three meet the fourth one thats me...the hell breaks loose and we have a ball of a time,4 very different us pulling each others legs,making sarci comments,eating food,visiting CCD,chandigarh trip...all in all a complete dhamal!<br /><br />Mrids: We have seen soo much together that we have started taking each others presence in life for granted! and ya we pay the price for that! but so be it...<br /><br />Sheetal: My all weather friend*literally* since my school days!she is more like an elder sister to me!She is my problem solver*thats why she is so good at coding*!i go to her with all my problems and she has a solution! She is brains with beauty *she looks like Madhuri Dixit and guys use to die to see her!so much so it use to get difficult moving around the city with her* and a amazingly warm person!<br /><br />Priyanka: She is another mad friend,who means a lot!People like her are really few...guess they don't manufacture such lot anymore!The attitude,girth and the poise is worth a watch! She thought me how to be honest to one self and how to be rooted all the time!<br /><br />Then there are my engg college frens - trupti,sonal and kavita have hardly met them since ages! but still whenever we meet in some permutation combination there is still lot to share!Miss them a lot!<br /><br />*Post on -reason for this post deletion and posting it back...coming soon*Suruchihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00623639076622123345noreply@blogger.com6
