Google Summer of code! I have been Selcetd for Google Swag!

Looks like there is always something good lies out of bad! After a very disappointing GSoC result, I got a good news from it, I talked with Samuel @ Joomla! and he says I am in for Google Swag and will be working as unfunded Google Summer of Code student! now thats really cool, I can't expect more than that this time, So finally I can write that its like dream come true, I had thought of writing a great post if I get selected in GSoC , but since I couldn't make it, I still have reason to write here, extremely happy !

Looks like I have got reward for all the work i did and similar to what happened at Techkriti, IIT Kanpur, in that also I worked hard to get in MyFox but at the end got prize in IOHC, that experience has really changed my life! I learn making firefox addon during that, eventually couldn't submit a very good addon, but the far result is this, that I was being able to propose a great idea for GSoC all because of that, I really want to thank organizer of techkriti, Mr. Ashwin and more specifcally person who put up the myFox event there !

so finally I am a GSoC student, it doesn't matter that i am unfunded after all open source is not about money at all!

and now to make you all jealous this image!
cool naa!

इस दस्त में इक शहर था वो क्या हुआ?

I am listening to a very very beautiful ghazal by Ghulam ali, and I want to dedicate this post to this ghazal। The ghazal starts with a 'sher' which goes like, अपनी आवाज़ की लर्जिश पे तो काबू पा लो, प्यार के बोल तो होठों से निकल आते है, अपने तेवर तो सम्भालों की कोई ये न कहे दिल बदलते है तो चेहरे भी बदल जाते है। I don't remember how many times i have listened this ghazal but still each time i listen to this, it gives me a new meaning. This is the beauty of ghazals, you can get a new meaning every time you listen. ये दिल ये पागल दिल मेरा क्यूँ बुझ गया, आवारगी, इस दस्त में इक शहर था वो क्या हुआ, आवारगी! The english translation is impossible, attempting that will be like killing the ghazal। What I could understand from this line is "what had happened to me", इक अजनबी झोंके ने जब पूछा जब मेरे ग़म का शबब सेहरा की भीगी रेत पे मैंने लिखा, आवारगी। Then ghulam ali sahab takes us to some other place by just his voice, amazing. ये दर्द की तन्हाईयाँ, ये दस्त का वीरान सफर, हम ल...

The feeling of death!

Let's start with recalling a beautiful song from 'The Beatles', There are places i'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends i still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life i've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When i think of love as something new Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more In my life i love you more I don't know how I got to hear Beatles, but It's wonderful to be able to listen this beautiful song, I am not a very big fan of non-indian music a...

तेरा चेहरा

तेरा चेहरा पता नहीं क्यूँ ? तेरा चेहरा पता नहीं , सच में क्यूँ ? हर पल रहता है मेरे ख्यालों में , पता नहीं सच में क्यूँ ? जब में कुछ नहीं करता हूँ , तो समझो सोचता रहता हूँ , तेरे बारे में , पता नहीं क्यूँ ? और जब मैं सोचता हूँ की क्या सोचता हूँ तेरे बारे में तो पता नहीं चलता क्या सोचता हूँ तेरे बारे में । सच में अगर कोई पूछ ले कैसी दिखती हो ? पता नहीं मुझे । क्यूँ इतनी अच्छी लगती हो , ऐसा क्या है तुममें , मैं कभी नहीं बता पाऊँगा । ये भी नहीं पता की तुम वही हो जो मैं सोचता हूँ , या नहीं ? पर जानना भी नहीं चाहता । बस ये पता है की क्यूँ नहीं जानना चाहता ? शायद मुझे डर लगता है , किस बात का , ये नहीं पता ।
