Reservations have already screwed up all the admission criterion’s, now comes another blow. They are again lowering the cut offs for SC/ST candidates. I just don’t understand what is wrong with the decision makers in India ? As this piece of news reads that earlier when the relaxation was at 40% if last general category student was having scored 5 in maths, 0 in physics and 3 in chemistry, an SC/ST student who had scored up to 40% lower- 3 in maths, 0 in physics and 1.8 in chemistry - was given a seat in the IITs. Now they want to make it 40%. That means if we keep the last general candidate’s marks constant then new limits for SC/ST students would be 2.5 in maths, 0 in physics and 1.5 in chemistry. ...

Today morning i opened my laptop and was checking BBC website and the first news was the great poet Ahmed Faraz is no more :( He died after a protracted illness. His ghazal ranjish hi sahi… rendered by Mehdi Hasan became a masterpiece. Faraz once said that Mehdi has sung it so beautifully that now it belongs to him. He will always be remembered for his great poetry. May his soul rest in piece. Here are few links to his poetry on one of my blog and urdupoetry.com ...

An awesome poetry. I don’t know the name of the writer. Gurdeep Singh sung this in his second album Hook. The whole album is a must listen. Awesome poetry and voice ! kade pattian gi gal kade tahnian di gal sanu das ja ni vaaye sade hanian di gal kade pattian di gal… kade soorjan ton puchan kade tarian ton puchan maruthal te jhana de kinarian ton puchan koi dasda na lang chukke panian di gal kade pattian di gal… ...

This whole week was pretty frustrating, irritating and boring. Didn’t do much work and neither felt like doing. Thank God its Friday. Hoping to have some rest on Sat & Sun and then be ready to happily face the next week ;)

It has been raining in Delhi and around since morning. There is water everywhere on the roads and traffic is in worst condition. There are hell lot of traffic jams. Everybody is getting late. Its taking 3-4 hours in reaching Delhi from Gurgaon and 2 hours if you have to go within Gurgaon. With pretty nice taste of rain i just came back from office. Now have to pack my bags and leave for home by night train. Thinking about leaving bit early as there are traffic jams and moreover a bit tight security due to 15th August. ...

Yesterday was the longest day (14 hours ;) ) i spent in this company since i joined it about 2 years ago. Today is kind of D-day for the project i am working for so there were some preparations to be done before that. Not much workload but “presence is important” kind of stuff. I have a record of staying in office for more than 24 hours in the last company and hoping not to break that record ;) ...
