aa k meri jaan mein qaraar nahi hai

Beauty of Mirza Ghalib

aa k meri jaan mein qaraar nahi hai
taaqat-e-bedaad-e-intezaar nahi hai
(bedaad=injustice)

dete hain jannat hayaat-e-dahar k badle
nasha ba-andaaza-e-khumar nahi hai
(hayat=life, dahar=world)

giriya nikaale hai teri bazm se mujh ko
haaye k rone pe ikhtiyar nahi hai
(giriya=crying, ikhtiyar=control)

ham se abas hai gumaan-e-ranjish-e-khaatir
khaak mein ushshaq ki gubaar nahi hai
(abas=indifferent, gumaan=suspicion, ushshaq=lovers, gubaar=clouds of dust)

dil se utha lutf-e-jalva haaye maani
gair-e-gul aaina-e-bahar nahi hai
(gul=rose)

qatal ka mere kia hai ahad to baare
vaaye agar ahad ustavaar nahi hai
(ahad=promise, baare=at last, ustaavar=determined)

tune qasam mai-kashi ki khai hai Ghalib
teri qasam ka kuch aitbaar nahi hai

Dish karo – shit karo

It has been close to 2 years since i have been using Dish TV. And almost everything related with it sucks except the only reason because of which i went for it that there was ETC Punjabi available here (which is not there in TataSky). The remote control, customer care, service, website everything is all crap. The biggest frustration is the website. First of all it seems to be coded by some kids doing their school project. Then the options available are placed in such a dumbo and stupid manner. Since the time i bought it, i have never been able to recharge it without getting frustrated. Zee network, enterprise of such a big size, cannot pay for a nice looking and working website. BULLSHIT !

Updated: After 10 days since i did this post, today i tried it again and its still not working.
