One of my favourite. Its written by Ahmed Faraz. Sung by many singers but the one by Mehdi Hasan is just awesome. Listen it here. ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhaane k liye a a phir se mujhe chod k jaane k liye a pehle se marasim na sahi phir bhi kabhi to rasm-o-rahe dunia hi nibhane k liye a (marasim-relationship) kis kis ko batayenge judai ka sabab hum tu mujh se khafa hai to zamane k liye a ...

Since last few weeks, North India is in news. First it was Punjab where a baba dressed like Guru Gobind Singh and said that I am distributing amrit to the people. This was nothing less than “hurting sentiments” of Sikhs. Being a Sikh himself, he knew it very well, still he did. The reason that was in air was that there are some cases registered against baba and congress made a deal that create “law and order” situation in Punjab if you want yourself to be safe from all those trials. What a shitty politics :( ...
It has been long time since I posted something. So thought about writing something at least. Posting requires time & concentration. My office days are just too busy and tiring. Monday to Friday is like leaving at 8:30 and coming back at 8:30 & moreover travelling in Delhi is just too much. Both the times (while going & coming back) you are stuck in heavy traffic and can’t do anything other than sweating and waiting :( Its not very good to do all this stuff in office so only saturday sundays are the days to handle all this, taking rest, going for some outing and watching some movie (if there is some good release, like this time it was Shootout at Lokhandwala). It was so good in Chandigarh where my office was 10 mins (if the only light that came my way was Red, otherwise just 8 mins) away from my home and almost same while coming back in the evening. Here it takes more than an hour to reach office (that too sweating and tired) and even more while coming back. So you are hardly left with any energy to do something productive. Just trying to adjust to this atmosphere and start doing something useful daily :) ...
I have a habit of wandering around on the www when I am not feeling like doing anything. One day I got one link from Google. It was titled Baghdad Burning. Read it here. Soul stirring stories. May God bless this world with peace ! Sidhu
Today when I reached office and opened my mail there was one forwarded mail having subject something like “scary don’t open it, if you have a weak heart”. Well, I opened it and had just scrolled down a little, and came to know that these were the photographs of some girl, who committed suicide in some mall in Bangalore, by jumping from 13th floor. I couldn’t scroll down, even after 2nd photo. It was so horrible, perhaps, her head bashed against the floor and you know, it ………Well, don’t know how much trouble she was in, who had to take such a drastic step. Too bad on his part who composed this mail. This is no fun. ...
I used to fancy becoming an Engineer, when I was in 8th standard. That `day dream` came true when in June 2000, I took admission in Computer Engineering in Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. In our first year, we were not allotted hostels due to lesser number of rooms being available for first year students. So we had to look accommodation outside. In mid of first year, we got a room in the hostel and moved there. This was for the first time that I was having the experience of hostel life (one should at least once enjoy hostel life, as they say). Those were the best times. Our room was popularly known as dharamshalawhere in the evening there will be some things happening for sure: cards, music and tea & samosa. Everybody who wanted to enjoy all this would come to our room :) ...
Had heard a lot about Delhi. Things like Delhi meri jaan & Delhi dil walon ki. I was well settled in the city beautiful, Chandigarh (Mohali to be exact). But as Mr Fate had drawn the map I changed my job and landed up in Delhi. Along with above things had also heard about the life style of Delhi. It is very fast, hell lot of traffic, you have to be very attentive and all. But as they say you can’t enjoy heaven until unless you die yourself and have a trip ;) ...
Punjabis are famous for many things. On top of the list are their eating habits and being more specific Punjabis can’t control themselves when they see Paranthas.Many times I had heard about Paratha Wali Gali in Delhi but never got a chance to go there and try.One day I came to see Not Just Paranthas very near to our place.So we decided to go there. After going there we were given one 4 page newspaper sort of, that actually was a menu :) From there only we came to know that Not Just Paranthas was a copy of Paratha Wali Gali created in modern fashion.In the menu there were more than 100 varieties of paranthas out of which we could choose. After having look at everything we decided to go for Vesna Parantha stuffed with Gobhi,Pyaz and Paneer mix with curd. Believe me just an awesome taste. Then we had normal Gobhi Pyaz and Mooli paranthas.But it is bit expensive (infact more than a bit) Cost of that first parantha was Rs 80 per parantha (without any Curd/Butter). So I think not wrong to call it expensive !!! ...
Weekend is a highly respected term in my industry. After screwing his head for 5 days (I didn’t mention in what ;) ) everybody waits for a weekend as it is the time to relax, to enjoy, to sleep, to meet friends and to do a hell lot of things out of which more than 1/2 get postponed to next week with a hope “will see next week”. Last week was real good as Monday was a holiday due to X Mas. I had to leave for home by Firday Night train. One of my friend[A] had got a flight from Pune to Delhi which was expected to be here by 4:30 or so. So by thursday evening everything was planned that we will be meeting at Bus Stand. As generally when you plan in advance things never comes on the track, something similar happened here also. Flight was late by 2 hours and it reached by 7 or so. Now coming from Airport to Bus Stand itself takes 1 1/2 hours or so. Even my train was late by an hour from its right time (that is 2030 hrs). ...
