Exams and superstitions!

Finally exams are over! How relaxed I am feeling now! Amazing feeling. These exams were the most different of all the exams I have given. There are so many reasons for that, first thing was I took lesser tension for these exams and I was under lesser stress than ever, and I fair pretty well, though it is the result which will decide that how I faired but for my inner being I think I have made a major change to my thinking and I am happy that I finally came over of the so called examphobia! One interesting thing I would like to share with you all that I noticed during these exams is exams and superstitions. It is surprising that exams make most people superstitious. And I am no exception, being an engineering student it may look disgusting that I believe in such superstitions, but I really can't help myself being a little superstitious. There are so many little myths that I follow during exams, biggest of them is I don't shave during exam, if my first paper goes well I believe t

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

Redicovering the music!

I have been discovering music these days, I am a music freak who loves to listen music, on my top list there are artists like Parveen, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Talat Mahmood, Md. Rafi, Mukesh, Ghulam Ali, Jagjit Singh, Mehndi Hassan, Shamshad Begum, Lata Mangeshkar. For me music is not just about hearing, its about living into it. For each artist I love I have a story behind it, that why I love him/her. When I was a child I couldn't understand what Ghulam ali sahab was singing but I just loved listening him. My Nanaji listens to all type of music and I owe him for making me love these artists. Lets start this discussion by putting here top songs of these artists. This is one of the best song of Abida Parveen, and I have heard it for more than 1000 times, each time I hear this song it looks as fresh as if I am hearing it for the first time. This is I think the beauty of her voice. Absolutely mesmerising. I can listen to her for whole day long, just one song. My biggest wish in life is

How Osho and Open Source are connected?

In the deepest layer of mine there exist a thought that Osho and Open Source are inter related, once my younger sister asked me what is Open Source and why I am so crazy about it? As Osho's ideology inhibit in all of us in our family, to explain her what exactly Open Source is, I told her, Open Source is like Osho, when we talk about Open source we certainly mean no Microsoft, similarly when we talk about Osho we certainly mean not the trivial way of thinking. I don't know if I can justify this thought by giving some equations, but certainly there is some connection. My heart says this. Open Source is a movement, Osho is a movement and both are related to make life better, think better, think bigger, respect individuality. The biggest connection I find between Open Source and Osho is the importance both to freedom. Open source is all about freedom, free to share, freedom to choose, freedom to modify, Open source talks about freedom of every type so as Osho talks about freedom,

A note to note, Mumbai!

While in train during my visit to pune along with Abhinav, for attending an Opensocial Developer Garage, Workshop, I wrote few poems, we had a tremendous tour, we were going to Pune in train without any reservation and the train was like packed, there was not even place to sit, for few hours we sit near the bathroom :P even there were more than 25 people. That journey was itself an experience, and finally we get to sit on a seat, managing to make friends with a group of people from Bangalaru, they were on a visit to Rajasthan, all were retired. Those people show pity on us, gave us seat. This is I think that can happen only in India. While sitting I managed to write a small poem, ये तो वो नही जो दिखता है, जब सत्य इतना सुंदर है, तो सत्य-सत्य क्यूँ नहीं हर जगह? अभी तो हर क्षण तैयार है एक नया अचरज, अभी भी आँखें खुली है, और बंद नहीं हो रहा है मेरा मुंह, जब सत्य इतना सुंदर है तो सत्य-सत्य क्यूँ नहीं हर जगह? लगता है हर क्षण हो रहा हूँ, में कुछ और बड़ा, एक नई सीख, सीख रहा हूँ, हर क्षण। अभी तक

Living an era in a day

I think it is the best time to write down something over here, i am in a situation of mind that I can't say is the best or worst, its just the situation, I wonder if I will ever be able to find out the cause why I can't be into the situation deeply. I just came giving my 5th sem Computer Architecture exam, and before the exam I was thinking I may not be able to clear this paper, after the paper I am happy that I am in a situation better than that. So many things are happening inside me, which are affecting me very badly. Of late I have been indulged in thinking and thinking, its like buffer overflow. I keep thinking about my future, the days to come and present day, the way I am living and the way things are happening. Before going far I would like to write down something about today, it is 3:46 pm here in India and I wake up today @ 5:45 am, so I can say its been long since I wake up and in all these hours there has been tremendous changes, I would like to categorize these int

I am back into blogging!

Hello everybody! As I am writing this post I mark my arrival at the blogging arena again. I can't resist myself from writing blog. I confess I love to write blog! It's been tough two months without blogging. Lots of things happen in between, so I have really lots of stuff to write down here, share with world.

My exams are going on so I will keep this post short but I promise to write back again soon. Till then enjoy one of my poem, I wrote a few weeks ago. ऐसा में सोचता हूँ, जैसे जैसे इंसान की उमर बढे वैसे वैसे वैसे उसकी समझ भी बढे अगर हम आज उससे ज्यादा समझदार नही है, जितने की हम एक महीने पहले थे तो हम कैसे इंसान हुए पर जहाँ भी में देखता हूँ, मैं पता हूँ की बहुत से लोग, पहले जैसे थे, अभी उससे भी ज्यादा बचकाने हो गए, तो फिर ये क्या है? आह! मैं सोचता हूँ, मैं तो कम से कम ऐसा होऊँ की एक मिनिट पहले जो मैं था अभी उससे कुछ बेहतर हो जा
